Steve Shovlar Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 How can a Poole fan not turn up for the final (if they are local) just because its on tv? I wouldn’t miss it for virtually anything. Have to be there to hopefully see history made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Wales and myself and a friend will be there but Kings Lynn is a No-No so thank goodness for BT, can totally understand that not every one can afford to go so again thanks to BT, just a pity that its not on Freesports or any free to air channel so even more could enjoy Poole or Kings Lynn win the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 With the 'special, bumper, commemorative' programme being priced at 4 quid, I would be ok with a £25 entry fee including a programme!, but still nothing announced yet.

Lynn need to keep it to 10. I'm thinking of around 52-38. Klindt , Josh and to a lesser extent Woryna will be the key here. Lynn's engine room haven't been great away from home lately, and I can see Klindt and Josh outscoring Lynn's trio of TJ, Riss and Ty on their own. Poole also have the edge at reserve. I have MPT around 7 from 5, but he may well get 6 rides, who knows. I'm sure the all the 7 Stars will be giving it 100%, and in speedway, anything can happen on the night. 48-42 would look good to me Looking forward to watching it and hope all riders stay safe for the return at Lynn. Probably because we have never been regarded as winners, it is assumed we haven't got the fight and determination to succeed against a seasoned winners like Poole. But I don't get this crap. Whatever Poole have achieved in the past has nothing to do with the team the have now. The only remaining members are Middlo and Ford and they don't even ride a bike. Looking back the over the recent years, this must be one of the worse Poole teams I can remember. The only problem we should be concerned about would be their track, but apart from that we should be really confident of doing well. I will be disappointed and surprised if we lose the first leg by more than 3 or4 points. We finished 10 pts clear of Poole in the league, (that's more than 3 match results better) yet fans and posters on here talk as though they have some divine right to always win... Bomber magical win in heat 15 hides the embarrassment of losing to a severely weakened Somerset team. Had they had a full team, Poole wouldn't even had reached the final. This is probably the best team Lynn have had for many a year, and represents a wonderful opportunity to get our name on that trophy. Our close, united team with loads of spirit has more than enough strength to win this, …….. Both teams are made up of predominately Championship riders, the main difference is that Lynn have 2 world class riders in Niels and Lambert to spearhead the team . On a good day we will win with points to spare. A person who talks about a 14 point deficit, watches a different teams than the one I see...…. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You massively underestimate the quality in this Poole team and the poor form of Riss and Jorgensen away from home. You've also got to remember that R.Lambert has got us out of plenty of brown stuff by having 6 rides away from home. That option isn't available in the Play-Offs. I hope you're right and we can keep it as close as 5 points but the truth is, we'll do very well to keep it within 10-15 points. We're not as good away from home as some seem to think.

I can understand fans from Poole or KL not travelling to the away meeting as it is a day off work and £100 plus for the day. But if you are local, really, no excuse to not being there. If you can’t afford the 20 quid, there is something seriously wrong with your finances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't to bad away from home,best in the league actually.Having said that we have had two humiliating defeats down there and i don't fancy our chances this time,but i do live in hope to keep it closer than the last two defeats.

Steve,get in the real world,not everyone is as well off as you.Remember you bleating on about the pound getting weaker against the Euro and how it wasn't helping you.Not everyone can have some kind of business and i would think probably 50% of people only earn the minimum wage.So get of your high horse expecting everyone should be able to afford it,because it's a fact that not everybody can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the final is as close as the Poole/Somerset SF then KL should just do it as stronger in H13 and 15. Unless Bomber has 2 blinders, which isn't out of the question.!

Bagpuss Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 We are very good away from home, our record and the league table shows that clearly. The problem is we aren’t very good at Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is we aren’t very good at Poole. We're very good away from home from heat 10 onwards as that's where we have a higher concentration of heats including Robert and Niels. Unfortunately most of our away defeats have been because our middle order are to weak. Poole could have their home meeting wrapped up by heat 9. I just don't think Riss, Jorgensen and MPT will deliver to keep the meeting close enough in the early heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They will make offers to retain or encourage new customers. BT Broadband is also not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
