Lol blaming it on no Middlo.... getting tonked by the leagues so called cannon fodder....

You need to get rid of Worrall and Covatti 

The witches are on fire and you think Klindt would do better lol

Kurtz hates the place

Just admit for the second season running you have a poor side .... will you or more to the point can you afford to make changes 

Why did Poole let Harris go? 

Let's see what's happening come October, remember last season

It is a great result for Ipswich last night, I have only been to two meetings so far both for entertainment value have been disappointing.

Last night I spent £38/39 plus food and to be honest I don't think the entertainment value was worth it, maybe a throw away £20 programme included.

If you were a new fan last night and you paid for more than one person you will probably think twice about going again, but some people think the money is value as long as their side win same as people love their team going away against a big team in football defending for 90 minutes and drawing 0-0 they see the result over what actually goes on, for me, result is secondary in a sense to seeing good speedway.

Perhaps it was the opposition, I've only been the last nights and the Kings Lynn bank holiday and I thought both were awful, maybe someone else can elaborate on all the thrilling passing I have missed in other meetings?

If anyone has any sense Monday if they pay for BT Sport then being their live is not value for money, although I guess you can never tell in advance if the meeting is going to be great value for money but on the overall so far for me, its not.

The sport needs something radical to happen I believe to add entertainment value maybe going away from the traditional 15 heats is something or it needs something else adding, all this twitter vote race has done for me is delayed the meeting longer than it needs to waiting for the poxy results to come in, the only thing I was fairly happy with was that I was in the car by 9.15pm

I like the meetings where its about 60 minutes long in duration.

I can honestly say, having attended over a thousand meetings since 1984 I've never seen a speedway meeting of about 60 minutes in duration! Unless it was abandoned.

I have to say if I went to a Speedway Meeting and got turfed out after 15 rushed Heats in 60 mins I would feel short changed and somewhat disrespected.

I think for a 15 Heat match with no major delays that 75-90 minutes is fine.

If there are a few re-runs and an injury up to 2 hours is understandable.

A lot depends on the weather of course but on a nice sunny evening up to 90-105 mins is perfect...

2 of the 7 points he scored were gifted....you’ve got to be in it to win it! 

Beat both nicholls and holder fair and square - both vastly more experienced heat leaders on English soil!

im not trying to KP was brilliant last night by any means but he’s steadily scoring points and learning all the time on the English tracks - compare that to David who’s been riding here for years now and that’s why I’d argue his form is more of a worry!

Yeah most riders would have beaten Nicholls in his first heat looked like a wobbly junior.

He talks the most rubbish!! On repeat. 

Do the same as me Lisa and block him. It’s far better on here not reading his spew. Same old guff over and over and over. Ad nausium.

You are wasting your time if you think you can have a constructive conversation with him. And you know the funny thing is? He will probably respond to this post saying I am the troll blah de blah de blah etc, and no one agrees with my opinion and I bring Poole a bad reputation etc etc etc. That’s his usual lines. And the best bit is won’t even read any of it. Happy days!B)

Oops the big bad wolf has come out to play

Your talking about constructive criticism is laughable.....................ive said Worrall needs to go..........and instead of debating it im told i should tell him to his face....bit juvenile

Just for the record take a look over the thread....see what sort of comments people have said about Shovlar including Poole fans

I’ve seen a lot worse meetings at foxhall.  Kings lynn was close with limited passing.  Poole seems like there was more overtaking but was always a home win.  Maybe your expectations are too much.  What leisure activities do you see as good VFM and comparable to the thrill of speedway?  Just out of interest...

I know..

Please tell me whats rubbish about saying i think that Worrall and Covatti should be replaced if Poole want to move forward?

If you disagree have a debate about it

But no you tell me i should tell him to his face....a very strange comment

Belle Vue fans are discussing Wells

Ipswich fans are discussing Bellego

Wolves fans are discussing the Nicholls/Morris/Thorsell issue

Kings Lynn fans discussing Lamberts form

Swindon fans been discussing their reserves

But obviously you dont like other posters talking about Poole riders

Have to agree. Both those meetings you couldn’t say were classics (Bank Holiday Monday was always going to be difficult as a day meeting) but like you I’ve seen far worse. 

The other home meetings have been much better though and I’ve already said we’ve been treated to some great racing this season. 

Lets see what Monday brings in front of the cameras for everyone to see.

So the riders club fans are discussing it which is what YOU have said. So going by your theory POOLE fans should discuss Worrall, and reserves?? So are you a POOLE fan now then? 

Discuss it all you like but it is strange you are scared to say your opinion to someone that you are quite happy to say on here? Mr keyboard warrior!! :D

I wonder if he expects a movie to be done and dusted in 60 mins :)

You're making a fool of yourself with posts like this.

This is a speedway discussion forum. Gavan has given his opinion. 

I've noticed it's when he's actually correct he seems to get the most reaction from certain Poole fans.

Why should he go and tell Worrall he thinks he should be replaced? Utterly irrelevant and a childish thing to say.
