Worrall gets injured........Poole should have found someone to come in and then keep Covatti at reserve Poole after winning matches and topping the league then decide to bring an over rated past his best rider in THJ ............who apart from the odd good ride was pretty useless...and forced Covatti in the 1-5 thus depriving Poole of a decent reserve who could step up if any of the top 5 were not performing. Poole started the season with potential for 2 big scoring reserves.......and ended it with THJ and Wells who has been poor all season.................those decisions stop solely with the management........... Its alright Poole fans blaming Kurtz and Holder but this season the loss of Worrall was not dealt with an ultimately left Poole ending up with the worst reserve pair in the league almost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There didn't seem to be any noise coming from the crowd through the television coverage on Saturday, which I'm sure wasn't the case. I thought the sound overall was odd on Saturday night - might have been the wine at my end I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once when Natalie said a big crowd here tonight, she was actually telling the truth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its alright Poole fans blaming Kurtz and Holder but this season the loss of Worrall was not dealt with an ultimately left Poole ending up with the worst reserve pair in the league almost I can excuse Kurtz a little but Holder has not been consistent at all, more often than not coming last in his first heat. Mistakes were made that is clear, I said at the time, they should have got Wells as a temporary replacement for Worrall to see how it went before dumping NBJ who had done little wrong, then we would have had more options, once that error was made as you say we should have got any rider of similar average to Worrall just to ensure Covatti stayed at reserve, I suggested Josh Auty as his average fitted but as long as the rider coming in was higher than Covatti we would have been able to cover an off night for another rider. Anyway all water under the bridge now but we need to learn from our mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ipswitch also were just better. Not quite sure what we are moaning about we lost to better team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stood there on the first bend and witnessed it live. I said earlier how different clubs fans react. At Poole the roof would have come off the stadium. At Foxhall, just above polite clapping and gentle cheering. Edited September 30, 2019 by Steve Shovlar 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Can anyone answer the question as to whether there is a dedicated speedway stadium in the country that has a larger capacity than Foxhall ? As far as I know it holds more than Belle Vue although I do stand to be corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I think if you concentrate the majority of a crowd in a stand with a low roof, particularly on the home straight you will naturally get a louder noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue capacity,, 6024, Foxhall I've found 2, one says 13,000 and one of around 10,000, so I would guess its easily has the biggest capacity of the current stadiums used.

Popular Post sommelier Posted September 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Great news for Poole fans, Jack Holder must have recovered from his bruised toe nail, now confirmed in the line up for the CZ golden helmet. I am attending the meeting, so will pass on all the well wishers from the many concerned Poole supporters of that nasty injury!! 4 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
