However it’s all Poole’s to chuck away. With the Pirates habit of choking I can see this going to heat 30. And you were questioning about the importance of Team Managers?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheese Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Strange meeting but credit to Poole for that comeback, would expect them to make the final now. Dismal 2nd half of the meeting from Ipswich though, only Harris even looked like beating a Poole rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Greatest comeback i think it was 1975 comets were 20 points behind at crewe and came back to win ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hackney's win at Halifax in 1980 was quite impressive. 31-16 down after 8 heats, four 5-1's and a shared last heat and we win 39-38. Plus we had 3 riders who didn't score a point between them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 13 hours ago, Col said: WTF was that? It was little other than a total farce on an awful track. Who did Ipswich sign NKI as replacement for? It's with a heavy heart I say this because for a time he was my favourite GP rider but bring back whoever he replaced because that was the second awful showing from him that I've unfortunately witnessed in a couple of weeks. Could no one in the Ipswich side of the pits figure out that Middlo's genius team talk was? Tell the Poole riders to set their bikes up to gate & ride the white line, while telling the track re+grade team to scrape the nitro boost near the fence exiting turn two? Middlo is clearly more genius than Hawkins & Louis. At least the Pirates should make the final a contest. The Witches would be steam rollered by either Wolves or Swindon.

SteveLyric2 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) So after an incredible evening at Wimborne Road last night and now watched the TV version, I have also trawled through over a dozen pages on this thread. Its quite funny how the tone of the posts changes whether one is a fan, a neutral or a 'moaner/hater'. Very funny. Don't think I have anything to add that hasn't already been stated, other than I don't agree that the attendance was lower than last week - I thought it was more than reasonable considering the rain before the meeting. The only thing that worries me slightly is THJ's left arm/shoulder injury - he damaged it doing Longtrack a couple of weekends ago and he was clearly in some discomfort after the meeting, so his performance was even more remarkable last night. PS. Afterwards there was quite a bit of rumouring about rider-movements for 2020 - but then there always is at this time of the season! Should make for another interesting Winter of discussion!! If any prove to be true, then Belle Vue, Somerset and Poole should have some very interesting line-ups. PPS. Also a whisper that Poole is no longer pro-actively up for sale!!!! but just like any other club, if the right offer comes in...............!?

Gavan Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Well after recording it and watching it today many points come to light The result was expected , a 10 point defeat, but obviously the manner of the defeat was the problem To be nicely in front and then lose by 10 should never happen but it can do Poole fans should be worried that if they are that poor early doors against better sides there is now way they will get close and possibly the final will be very one sided Can Ipswich get 10 points back.........no........or Poole will have had the biggest of chokes......dont forget Poole have won twice at Foxhall so they should actually win the meeting rather than keep it tight. We need to hit them hard early but the problem is Poole have riders like Kurtz , Klindt and Holder who ride Foxhall better than they do Poole...add in Covatti and then its clear why Poole are hot favourites THJ is poor at our place but Wells isnt so that evens out People having a pop at Iversen forget he cant stand Poole and neither can Heeps At the end of the day we have had a good season just a shame we couldnt beat the title favourites when we had a chance Poole will win the second leg as well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heeps was publicly giving it large before the meeting, but apart from being gifted a point or so, he hasn't really performed since he came out of reserve. 'Poole have riders like Kurtz, Klindt and Holder', but Kurtz always 'goes missing' in the later heats according to you but 'still rides Foxhole better than Poole'?! Everyone of your posts involving Poole always has a positive and negative argument, so you can always come back and say you got it right. Very repetitive as usual. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a few meetings over the years where a deeper gripper rougher track would be what's needed, and everytime a Bald slick gate and go is what ya get, it's as common as an Ipswich implosion. I don't know who does your track. But after last night I would of got Buster in this morning if he would. With rider practice around mid day tomorrow.

Everyone of your posts involving Poole always has a positive and negative argument, so you can always come back and say you got it right. Very repetitive as usual. Think you need to have a look at Heeps scores since he moved out of the reserve berth because you make yourself look daft At home 5+2 (4) 11 (4) 9 (4) 4+1 (4) when riding injured 5+2 (4) 9 +2 (4) His away scores at Poole, Wolves and Swindon were poor but at home he is a match winner. Kurtz has previous for going missing but does like our track Please say where i will come back and say i got it right...........i think Poole will win at our place and comfortably win on aggregate.........so if Ipswich do somehow get through i will be wrong in my opinion....... Again tell me where my argument is positive and negative............. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) So funny reading this thread. When Ipswich were mauling Poole,it was a great meeting,yet largely gate n go. Poole start winning races and suddenly its poor meeting with all the gate n go! Me thinks a few folk starting gloating a little prematurely!

Ovalman Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Can only hope for a southwest final between these top 2. Swindon and Poole never know when they're beaten...would be a great final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
