Nobody chokes, they are just beaten by the better team on the day. All the playoff teams are there on merit and nothing is guaranteed. I would suggest that most premier League riders, while some obviously more consistent than others, are capable of beating each other on the right night. I also don't get this 'arrogant' tag on Poole and I'm sure they didn't believe they were already in the final but if any team comes back from a 12 point deficit to win by 10 then they're going to celebrate aren't they? What would you expect them to do? As for the final I think Ipswich have every chance if their key men turn up. Danny King is capable of beating anyone on his day likewise Richard Lawson and we all know what Bombers about in play offs. I'm rooting for Ipswich anyway. I'd love to see them win on their return to the top flight and see the Brit's shine so good luck in the final Gav. You don’t understand this ‘arrogant’ tag nor do you believe ‘nobody’ chokes but the 3 posts, all from Poole fans, sum up perfectly why the vast majority of speedway fans root for ‘anyone but Poole’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I don't see the connection between the 3 posts and me not liking the choke term. I did say I didn't like it used to describe 'any' beaten team as I don't think any team chokes they just get beaten. God yes there are plenty of arrogant fans from all sides on this forum but I was referred to the team, not fans as Gavans post said a 'team' that celebrated like they were already in the final but even so, of course people will celebrate pulling out a 10 point win from a 12 point deficit, that's not arrogance is it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find it is a reaction to the past where many have said Poole had choked. It is not a term i like or have used much in the past and in all honesty i don't believe it to be true in the vast majority of cases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 This constant rain over the last two days has probably turned the track into a quagmire. They need a dry day today but tomorrow’s forecast is for light rain from 10 am. It’s starting to look doubtful this meeting is going to go ahead but fingers crossed. The U.K. has been on the wrong side of the jet stream for over a month meaning every weather front is riding over the top of us like a conveyer belt.

Choking or arrogance or bottlers................there was a reason why Poole lost the semi final Poole had come to Ipswich twice and both times walked away with comfortable wins Firstly riders like Klindt and Josh and Covatti are not to blame But when you see riders like Kurtz looking unbeatable scoring 12+1 from 5 and then only getting 3 when the pressure is on and Jack Holder who scored 13+ 2 from 6 the time before , pulling out and basically not fancying it then where do you look Poole topped the table and rode at a team they had comfortably beaten twice......................they lost because they were to arrogant or bottled it..no other reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Pooles season finished the moment they stopped using r/r at 2 and lost Covatti into the main body If they had operated that against us with Klindt , Josh and Covatti taking r/r rides and Covatti having 6 or 7 rides from reserve they would have won THJ at reserve with Wells and Covatti at 2 cost them any chance of the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite hilarious reading your posts as you type away in a blind uncontrollable fury, all alone in your life full of venom and bile and regret. We all have to chuckle at these frankly, boring and repetitive rants saying the same thing over and over again ad nauseam, as if you think people on here haven’t read it the first time it has to be repeated at least a dozen times more. If it makes you feel better making up the rubbish you posted above, so be it. The rest of us know differently. I would have said, enjoy the final and let the best team win, but we know who that is already. And frankly, I don’t believe you give a damn anyway, as you can’t be bothered to even attend either meeting. Fury lol.....we beat a team of bottlers with a team of wobblers......fantastic!!! Repetitive......have a little look over the thread and see how many times people have had a pop at you over the amount of times you have said that the final will be one sided....cretin I will be at the home leg of the final tomorrow night ........cant do thursday as i have my children............i have a life im afraid unlike yourself Wished i had been at the second leg to come and say hello ..but i was at a housewarming for a friend you see.............again life is more important Oh and if what i posted was rubbish then please tell everyone why you lost the second leg.....to a team on a track you had won at twice easily..you must remember you kept saying you wanted to ride us every week because we were easy to beat....arrogant bottle jobs And if Swindon thump us in the final i wont care because we have performed miracles all season, culminating in an easy victory in the semi finals against the league winners........it will still be seen as a successful season for us How nice that this season we wont have the farce that happened last season and made the final a non event Best of luck to Swindon and their fans on here who all seem a decent bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Depends if Swindon are happy with taking the first leg? If so Thursday at Swindon with next Monday at Foxhall. Might make the second leg pointless though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have got someone like Auty and still retained Covatti at reserve. Holder was pretty good at Ipswich in the league but his performance at Ipswich was pathetic, so was Kurtz and they were meant to be our best riders! I think those two should hang their heads in shame. Swindon have a great team who are not afraid to give it a go in any conditions.I hope Ipswich make it a decent final. Lawson's performance could be key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
