Agreed, some serious kickings need to be given. Don't care it's early in the season, riders with this level of experience shouldn't need loads of meetings to get going. Based on the two Poole meetings I fancy Redcar will be a long night on Friday too! Lets hope we get a good guest if Kennett isn't back.

Mike0310 Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 When they do well I’ll praise them when there crap I’ll also say it no point sugarcoating it they’ve all been round Poole numerous times no excuses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Feel for Ben Barker, he normally really good at Poole. Can pretty much expect a heatleader score and when he was on for a paid win his bike goes or something blew up on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just aswell Plymouth had Harris as guest as if Kennett had been fit I think the score would have been another 6 points for Poole's total as I don't think Kennett would have got 13 imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 11 points from no.1 in premiership, 10 points in 2 meetings from no 4 in championship. Some riders just taking championship for granted for extra pennies with little to no commitment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Very entertaining meeting played out in cold and very windy conditions. Lots of very good racing on a superbly prepared billiard table track. Harris excellent guest finally beaten in heat 15 but was untouchable in his first 4 rides and not led until the final race. Plymouth lucky they had his as a guest. Plenty of passing and fast times as well. All the Pirates putting in good performances. King had a bit of a mare with two tapes exclusions. Lawson looking a solid heat leader and good replacement for Schlein. Drew Kemp looking like a very solid reserve with 10 from 4 tonight. And Ablitt battled all night. Gilkes, who was excellent last night, was nowhere tonight, and a surprise. Expected better. Hans looks like a season too much, and perhaps should have followed Bjarne into retirement. Next stop Birmingham next Wednesday at Perry Bar, then Oxford next Friday and Leicester next Saturday. Bring them on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Bit harsh on Hans there!! I don't think he'll thank you for saying he should retire lol. A few more seasons left in him I think! Really good night for Nathan Ablitt though who is just going to get better with every home meeting.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I can't see anyone getting 40 at Poole this year, as usual they are going to be incredibly strong at home. Which is going to make them very tough to beat over two legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is going to make them very tough to beat over two legs. I think we will be even stronger at home this year than last. Ben and Zack are dialled in, and Drew Kemp is banging in the points. Was named rider of the night last night. We should always have a scoring reserve. Lawson looking the perfect replacement for Schlein. Next week is going to show if we are a force to be reckoned with with trips to Brum and Leicester, and Oxford at home on Good Friday.

gazzac Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Really pleased Lawson quickly shut up the negative posts quite a few Poole fans had with him before the season started. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only remember Steve and FB voicing their concerns. But really Richard was always going to hit the ground running so I never had a problem with it after the shock wore off as I thought he was at Plymouth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Schlein and Richard Lawson were never popular due to old club rivalries, but don the skull and crossbones and ride for the team with 100% effort and we will support them. Schlein won over the fans, and Lawson will do the same if he continues as he has started. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
