Poole came 3rd in the full league program. Kings Lynn finished top of the league by quite some way. Kings Lynn were very unlucky with injuries. This kind of results and injuries have happened other years as well. No more can really be said about the 2018 season. The KO cup is now coming and best of luck to both Kings Lynn (1 injury) and Somerset (3 injuries) Hope to be at Oaktree tomorrow. I think both teams have good guests so should be a good meeting Edited October 16, 2018 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All credit must go to both Somerset and KIngs Lynn for taking the semi and Final to the last races. I am in no doubt we almost quite literally rode our luck. Maybe mate, but some on here just couldnt think or stand the thought of us winning the league, so they now get what they sow.

Plus we were 20 points ahead in the table, more than double what KL were over us! So if I can take that, surely you lot can handle this. Or maybe not..

Don t want to fall out over this but the play offs are not for me I live in Sheffield so last year watched us top the league and for me that was us the champions. The play offs I could nt get into sorry I would like to see the team that finishes top crowned the champions and maybe the top 4 contest the knockout cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the playoffs even when Poole don't win them. It's an exciting end to the season! And I was completely gutted when Poole lost in 2010 to Coventry but you know what I posted 'well done Coventry' on the same night, shame some KL fans couldn't do the same. But if they want to hold on to their bitterness than that's up to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Considering everything comes down to the final four meetings of the season its no wonder the regular season matches are so poorly attended, they are just seen as qualifying matches and as we see every season the crowds only turn up for the finale where something is actually at stake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, I couldn't be bothered with the Play-Offs as they were live on TV. At £20+, I feel justified as each meeting proved not to be value for money racing wise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you happy in the knowledge that teams probably turned up at Owlerton thinking we don't really have to try against this lot as we'll probably make the top 4 by winning all our home matches, scrape through to the play offs and win the title that way?

Mate the same applies over the Jumps [ horse racing ] Everything is centred round Cheltenham in March, thats pretty much when the big money is at stake, Ok you have the Hennessy Gold Cup King George etc, but thats the same as the play off's. In the meantime you still have to pay the bills and you still have to get there. I could go on and on but i wont.

There’s a vast difference between “should” and “is”!!!! Oh, I forgot is Sheffield in the premier league??? Anyway, don’t worry about it, Poole is top of the UK Speedway pile....
