Just shows how bad the poole track used to be when fans and riders are giving that surface tonight some praise. Crikey.

Ford’s potato harvest might be down come the end of this season, but still might have enough to fund some tin-pot race jackets for his lucky septet next season, though.

Potato harvest ..that really made me laugh pete :D thanks

Well done Swindon, have gone to the top 3 recently and taken a point at Vue and Poole and 4 at Ippo. 10 heat wins, excellent from Batch and Doyley, just let down at reserve. Good entertaining meeting, credit to Poole as well.Roll on Thursday.

IMO, a fair result from a decent enough meeting. Track was raceable which is a huge improvement, but still very rough in places. Some passing, but a lot of gate and go also.

Poole solid throughout especially at reserve but not unexpected.

Swindon, top 2 superb, the reserves on a hiding to nothing, but at least on the pace, middle 3 all rather disappointed.

it’s all ifs and buts - Klindt got maybe less than expected, Jensen & Muesli got less than usual, it all evens out to say these two should both be there or thereabouts at the end of the season, may the best team win!

Doyle def moved, I was right by the gate watching. Whether Nic moved as well not sure. Was watching Josh and JD.

Like I said - Klindt moved first and he would have been closest to you so don’t know how you missed it.  Anyway - luck usually levels out in the end - unless you were BV tonight.

As I said I was watching Josh and JD more, as I was sure who gated between them would win.

Pooles reserves could make the difference tonight. 47-43

Not far out.. Poole reserves 15 points … Robins 2 points.

Track is better, but still not good. Few early ruts and not much dirt. An ok meeting to be fair. Made better by what was at stake.

as stupid as someone belittling an experienced manager’s decision even before we’ve seen the consequences of their choice?

I don't need to see the consequence of their choice. Gate 2 was the best gate on the night. Ellis won from it, Musielak won from it, Perks scored a point from it. If the Swindon team manager hasn't figured that out he is an idiot.

He needed 3 points to get a losers bonus point, so take the best gate and put your best rider on it.

Swindon got a 5-1. That gets them nothing more than a 3-3 would. They had the best two riders at the meeting. The only way they could have scored less than 3 barring a mechanical disaster was to hand Poole the best gate.

Poole needed to put their only rider capable of out pacing Batchelor & Doyle on it, in Kurtz & hope Holder can sneak past either Robin as they queued behind Kurtz.

Utter ineptitude all around.

An off night for any of the top 5 & that’s us done.

Still prefer to have at least 1 decent reserve as that is usually what the league winners have.

Over a two legged affair i would be reasonably confident though Crazy.
