MD Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Poor meeting overall, hyper slick track with almost no passing. Had hoped to see better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Good to see the track doctoring sorry practice session work so well. But seriously is it normally as bad as that , slick track = shi*e meeting Brennan trying an outside line and goes backwards. And here was me naively thinking it was supposed to be entertainment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulle apart it wasnt good but if you didnt gate you were finishing the race in the same place as you left the second bend. Gives you perspective when we naively have a thorough track regrade at ht10 to produce good racing right to the end. What have we learned tonight?

It is clear that we try to place our emphasis on entertainment firstly by preparing a track to race on. That track was prepared for the home team which isn’t a criticism it is there choice but it was to the detriment of entertainment. I know which track I would rather watch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Well well well. Must admit I didn’t see that result coming. Big crowd, good tight meeting with Pirates always having the upper hand. Brilliant atmosphere and all the pirates getting well stuck in to send the Tigers home empty handed! Perhaps not a passing fest but there was passing in half the heats, but the closeness of the scores and the determination made up for it as the roof came off the stadium on a few occasions. Rather than a neutral watching a feed isn’t the same as attending because those there, (with the exception of the 4 Glasgow fans on the first bend)lapping it up. Rider of the night was Richard Lawson who was only. Eaten in heat 7 when everyone but the ref saw Ulrich Ostergaard take a mighty roller. Stevie Wonder posted on Twitter, asking how Chris Gay the ref missed it. Ben Basso’s return was greeted in boos from several in the crowd. It clearly affected him as he was pretty useless. Second season syndrome? On the other hand Danny Hume was greeted very warmly and showed his improvement this season with a battling display. Broc Nichol has scored very well at Poole but tonight was almost as useless as Connor Bailey. Craig Cook battled and made several passes, and Tom Brennan battled along with Ostergaard. But Pirates were on it and all to man man had raised their game on recent performances. About time too as we are not going to finish top two meaning having to battle past decent teams to make the semis.

Beirao Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Gate 4 was a graveyard. Danyon continues his good form as does Ulle but no other positives. Berwick beat Oxford ending the Cheetahs play off hopes and Plymouth fail to take anything from Birmingham. Second place still possible for us. Have we ever won at Poole?

Bandits4eva Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Interesting to read the view points of the track when one particular Poole fan slammed Berwick for the limited amount of passing...

Heat 3, King passed Basso back straight then lined up and blasted around Ostergaard. Heat 5 Zack Cook passed CC on bend 4 for CC to re pass next lap. Heat 6 DREW Kemp passed Brennan lap two bend 4.

Going too wide on bends 2 & 4 by mostly our riders meaning the home riders picked us off on the only racing line you make it sound like Wroclaw with that summary. It was poor as a spectacle but Poole deserved the win as they outgated us in most hears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but continue to do that and we wont beat anyone like this over 2 legs in the play offs. Fairness doesn't get results. Tonight was about gating not racing, I was getting bored watching on TV but Poole got a 12 point win and the fans looked like they were going home happy. Could we pull back 12 points at home if this was a 2 leg affair. No chance IMO, our track is too fair. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you on that but we have been doing the track grade every week for years , with PF in attendance tonight will he see how a track prepared to suit one team change his view on what needs to be done ?.

We were well beaten by the team that gated better ,If you are happy with that then fair enough. But don’t give it the Violin rubbish Basso is a racer as you well know but if the track doesn’t allow that then he is pissin against the wind. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
