Poor side??? Ummmm, we finished top, did we not? So how are we poor? We just had some bad form at the wrong time. But table shows we are the best over the season. 

Maybe poor is harsh but i was pretty confident this Poole side would not win it out of the four teams left.Even with Covatti at reserve and R/R for Worrall for me you would of still come up short the main reason is that i believe Kurtz / Holder would do better at a different home track.

You may have finished top but you were not the best team at the end of the season.  If Swindon had hit form as early as Poole, we would have finished ahead of Poole easily. Look at the match points of both teams, Swindon had a much higher points scored with less points scored against them.

Yet finished lower - so not all about match points clearly.  But I hope Swindon win the final.

Match points are what define the league table (3 for a win etc), race points define the margin of victory (50-40, 60-30 etc).

Cant think of many people wanting to buy it to  be honest and buy what?  also the track should be dug up and relaid which is not going to be a cheap exercise.Poole for me since Darcy went on loan have made loads of mistakes team wise and you have to question that side of thing's.

Yes real bad calls. Like winning the league again last season.:)

If you read my post fully, I said at the end of the season. In today's speedway, It's not the team that finishes top that counts, it's often the team that are in form in Sept/Oct. That's when Swindon really started to motor.

Table is for the whole season not just at the end. And I did say we had bad form at the wrong time.

They might do and if Brady is off to BV then we sure will find out! Trouble is at Poole Brady is the no1 and at BV that will be Fricke, so less pressure = happy Brady!

That track will suit Brady down to the ground and like Max will be worth watching around the NSS everyweek.

We can name at least 8/ 10 riders over the last seven years that you have got wrong even changing riders and still getting it wrong.

That goes for all clubs. Zach W, Smith? That pole, and on and on.....

T. Kurtz Howarth, Starke, Dyer, Strachya, Kennett, Starke , Newman, Andersson, Zengota, Lahti Watt ( last year)  often releasing riders at the wrong time and in some cases undeserving.

You weren’t in bad form at the end of the season. You finished in style winning at Kings Lynn (no other team had) and topped the table under huge pressure from the most in form team Swindon,

Poole were very much in decent form. It’s just 4 riders let you down when it mattered.:rolleyes:

Sorry, you're wrong Brum. They were the 2nd team to win there, the Robins did it before them & in some style, a 4point win 39 - 51.

I still think that Zach will come good. I believe that his last speedway injury played on his mind. Batch had 2 bad seasons after his injury & then returned to form at Kings Lynn followed by  2 great seasons at the Abbey,  this year his average has gone up from 7.69 to 8.82. From what I can gather, Zach has been doing well in grass track this year.
