Never heard an ambulance being booed off the track before last night. That is 100% categorically untrue and I was good about 10 metres away. Craig's dad stormed in and told Wright to f*ck off, which upset some Redcar fans who had a go at Craig's dad. Team Manager then stormed in effing and blinding at everyone and did receive a barrage back.from the fans. Fault from both sides in my eyes, some fans did not help the situation I admit. At absolutely no point was Cook himself subject to any abuse whatsoever, and his ambulance was applauded off the track and I will happily go to any court in the land to testify to that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much racing effort we will see if any of the 2 Cooks ride against King & Lawson & try more against others. Where else would you expect to get track reserves from other than the hosting track? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biffa Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Sorry Boz, the ambulance was booed as it came around the first bend towards the tapes, lots of applause also though. First time I’ve ever heard it happen anywhere. Even said to the few standing with me about it, couldn’t believe it happened. I was stood on the little stand between bend 4 and the tapes, and yes I would testify to any court that it happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Apologies I was not massively clear in my post - my remarks were more around abusing Cook but I can see it is not clear at all. Original post made it sound as if the whole stadium was booing. Sadly, you get a few idiots everywhere but i agree that should definitely not happen. Definitely added a bit of spice to a night that had pretty much everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Looking forward to another night of top entertainment down at WINborne Road So open as to the winner with riders' such as Bomber, Nicholls, Masters & Douglas avin a particular liking for the Poole track. Of course being a Pirate I will shouting out for King & Lawson with both coming into top form at just the right time. Tom Brennan could he sneak up quietly & take the honours? I wudn't bet against it. See yer all down at WINborne Road #piratepride Edited August 24, 2022 by Turnip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track reserves should be competent enough to race if needed but not too good to influence a result. Ablitt and another NDL rider would have been better options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were excellent meetings & the track was superb. Can't speak for wot it's like now though. Even being a Pirate I don't understand the logic of avin it on a Wednesday in Poole. As soon as they called the Saturday one off it should've been moved to a more central track. Little consideration given to away supporters.umless they base it on away support at league meetins? Dunno. I'm fortunate that although living in Derbyshire I'm still able to go. Hopefully all the club's will still av some support there Certainly didn’t give any consideration to us Scots. I suppose it’s better than the Isle if Wight (Smiley face) but honestly, this year will be the first I’ve missed and I’m not best pleased 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that in a negative way about Glasgow because they have put the money in and hard work to warrant being awarded world class meetings. But distance wise it's like for like.

Agreed, you have a point too but multi team events like this should be Weekend meetings to attract the biggest possible crowd and hence add to the atmosphere. The original Saturday was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to say but I don't know how it was agreed between the bods at the top & wot was or wasn't possible to arrange. Dunno. Luckily living in Derbyshire I'm central to everywhere but I do think about those at either end of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are both good enough to significantly impact in races they are in and possibly impact on the overall result. I don't think that's in the spirit of what a track reserve is actually for. Got nothing to do with where it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
