Anyway I feel like it's my fault, at speedway last week I asked if Poole had a home meeting rained off yet... Zzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not defending Kennetts actions, but he moved swiftly over about 20 yards. (The introductions are done at the start if the back straight). Exactly. I was there too and only the hangers on came from distance. As you are more of a local than i, can you answer me something - the exit from the track for bikes is half way down the straight isn't it ?

Entry to the track from the pits at Eastbourne is usually halfway down the back straight. Entry to the pits from the track is usually on bend 2.

Entry to the pits from the track is usually on bend 2. No. The main entry and exit to the track is halfway / two-thirds of the way down the back straight and used, I’d say, for 90% of the time. There is another access point on bend 2, where the airbag can be pushed open. This is used for the bikes and riders when they are bought out for the presentation and introductions. It is not used as the “official” entry / exit but has been used for quick access to the track when riders are running late, and occasional exits. I am not aware of any official protocol regarding this. I get the impression that if a rider wants to exit via the bend 2 air bag gap and someone can operate it, then they can do.

At the moment it’s all fairly current events, no one has come on and started reminiscing about something that happened in the 1950s yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Shame it doesn't appear to be rearrangeable for this coming Monday 12th?! Neither team has a fixture and there are no Championship meetings for those doubling-down! Edited August 9, 2019 by Skidder1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not trolling, it is simply expressing an opinion. One if you disagree. However, you know as do the rest of us that you dislike Poole, post continuously on Poole threads and normally give feint praise before sticking in the knife in the last sentence. We see this virtually on a daily basis. This is simply trolling. I guess it’s going to be as usual then. Pointless putting out an olive branch if the other side won’t accept it. No one is saying that you can't be biased towards your own team but some of the posts where you imply that the changes either strengthen the other side or weaken Poole are often just put in to get a reaction. That is trolling, as are many of the posts that you put in with regard to other teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heeps scored three the last time he rode at Poole. Last night King, Allen, Kennett and K Pieczek would have covered his rides. It would have been better to check the facts before making that post.
