John Scrutton Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Its about time that someone sorts the Poole track out in the way of big fines etc this is nothing new The holes in the track have been there for years not weeks Riders safety must come first But can anyone enforce these things Who is in charge of track safety ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Whatnon Earth is going on down at Poole? Just came online to check the result and it's not even finished! Looks like a disaster area, with riders coming off snd getting injured. Nightmsre for Swindon! What has happeded to Poole? It used to be a decent enough track. I see Klindt just went through the tapes. An act of self preservation maybe? I actually considered going to this but decided against it, partly because of reports on the track in recent weeks. Looks like I made the right decision! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason.C Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Ridiculous roller missed by the ref by both Swindon riders. Even Stevie Wonder wouldn't have missed that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Sounds shocking from the Adver updates. Not just the track, but the lack of organisation too, plus some poor refereeing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People moan about the standard of racing at Lynn, which is understandable sometimes, but what riders do know is that they will always get a nice surface to ride on. No potholes or bumps to contend with. And yet Lynn have all sorts of things going on at their track including stock cars. How can Poole not get a good surface.

stevebrum Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Sounds like another calamity at the Poole track, although one person is describing it as a decent meeting. fallers galore so sounds quite a lot wrong with potholes a huge risk. Hate to use this term but sounds like we have the ultimate horror track! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 About time the authorities removed Poole’s licence until the track is sorted.

Gavan Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 You do have to laugh at Steve Shovlar The Poole track is a disgrace and the prat lords it up as some sort of great result for Poole How long did that meeting take to run? Crash after crash and riders coasting round staying in position........ Obviously Shovlar doesnt care as Poole won and in his world thats all that matters The sport that fans love is dying and Poole speedway are playing a huge part in that Apparantly it was a good meeting as one of the best riders in the world passed a journeyman so that makes it good racing The BSPA need to sort out Poole speedway......fine or even a points deduction..make them sort the track out Poole and a couple of their fans are an absolute disgrace 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Well done Doyley 4 wins, why not in heat 15? At least riders will have smoother ride back north for tonight if it's on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris116 Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 It is about time that the SCB did some proper track inspections and made sure that the bad tracks are improved. We are dealing with the lives of a families main bread winner. If the Poole (or any other) track is as bad as has been suggested it is not fair to have such dangerous tracks being used. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Unfortunately what makes it worse is that Poole have 1 or 2 of the most idiotic supporters on here Rosco has posted on Twitter ' And breathe' Then you get the usual numpties saying its sour grapes.................i know intelligence is lacking in people from that part of the country and it seems to be backed up There are decent Poole fans ....just a shame about the pillocks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Some interesting comments here. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/speedway/17666988.poole-pirates-record-12-point-win-but-dangerous-track-is-swindon-robins-biggest-concern-in-bank-holiday-opener/ Also, Batch’s take. Troy Batchelor on track conditions: “It’s bullsh*t. I’ve spoken out before about it before, and everyone jumps on the internet and tells me I’m a little b*tch. You get in trouble for being honest, so you may as well go along with it. It’s f*cked up.” #Speedway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 According to Steve Shovlar in various heats these riders all overrode and no issues with the ruts Perks Musielek Batchelor Doyle Perks Lawson Zach Perks NBJ All the above crashed or lost places as a result of hitting ruts Thats not speedway Poole may have been the better team anyway but what happened today is disgusting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Just got back. First of all the ref had a mare. Dave Robinson was in absolutely no rush to speed the meeting along. There was no reason whatsoever for the meeting to take the length of time it did. Unnecessary gaps between heats when he could have put on the 2 mins. As for heat 13, the guy is a disgrace! Both Swindon riders, Batchelor in particular had a massive roller. Everyone in the grandstand was agog when the ref let it go. I thought the tapes hit Batchelor helmet as he rolled under them. He was certainly told by many fans in no uncertain terms. A ridiculous call to not bring it back. And a major howler from Rosco in heat 10. Perks came out to tapes, only to be called back to the pits by Rosco. The 2 mins ran out. Then a delay as Perks came back out on track. He wasn’t happy he had to go from 15 metres! Why didn’t Rosco Use Batchelor as an injury replacement for Musielak? To be honest there was only ever going to be one team in it after Musielak fell. Again their reserves were p poor, though Ellis Perks was trying and in the mix. Good to see Worrall riding as he should be. Best performance of the year. Keep it up Richie! All the boys gave. It a go. Lawson guesting scored ok but nowhere near Kurtz would have got. Track was much better than when the two teams previously met in the cup. Though due to the length of the meeting it got dusty in the last 3 heats. Seemed the Swindon riders struggled today where the Poole boys didn’t. Seems to have been a frenzy on here during the meeting but in truth it was a reasonably entertaining meeting for one taking place at lunchtime. Not as bad as some are making out who we’re nowhere near Wimborne Road. So a suprise 3 points in the bag. More than I expected to be honest. Doubt we will get anything out of tonight but I shall go along to cheer on the depleted Pirates! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the definition of a tw.t The meeting was delayed because riders kept crashing you asked for Worrall to be sacked..so get your head out of his arse Track was much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your a effing idiot .............you obviously enjoy riders hitting ruts and crashing then you utter utter m0r0n Your last line sums up the troll you are........................................................................depleted pirates..............................go do one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
