But I agree, more water was definitely needed and also more material on the inside! Back in the days of Poole vs Eastbourne there was always the blue groove on the inside at Wimborne Road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was! I miss Poole Vs Eastbourne meetings. At least blue groove is normally a rarity these days. Shame it happened tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that only leaves the following week anyways. 37 minutes ago, iainb said: Would have thought they'd have put something on Could they not race Workington in the BSN semis next Wednesday?

lbw Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 (edited) Yes the track was poop la poop tonight but I was with someone who thought the atmosphere at Poole was better than the track he usually attends! So despite a lot of the dissatisfaction with the track Poole at least delivered on one thing against Redcar! Another night of struggle for the Pirates which needs to be improved upon but at least we won when not at our best which is something champions are made of! Was great to see Vinnie make his debut and he is looking the part as he rode with plenty of determination. Just needs to channel his aggression in the right direction a bit more because we don't want him flying through the air as he did! Well done to the Boyzzzz *Pirates fixture change: Edinburgh away 21st June in the league is now Friday 23rd August Edited June 6 by lbw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Lampart is an Extraliga rider and becomes an asset, can see why they have kept him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the other streams (although I don't know if you have to buy by a certain time) and you will see the track is a lot better than that this season. Even last season there was no blue groove, some of last season's meetings were put on YT during the winter, so you can go and see for yourself.

Yet whenever BSN televise a match it's dire,I genuinely wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 There’s no denying the track last night was the worst it has been for a very long time. Though a question why they made it so slick has to be asked. The Poole riders were certainly caught out with their setups. It wasn’t dangerous. It just wasn’t conducive to good racing and there was little to blast around the boards. A shame as the crowd was decent and we now have no meeting for a month.

Been the same at Berwick this year aswell to be honest, however the racing has actually been decent in quite a few meetings. Lots of fans go up and down the country just to see good racing and that’s not happening with such little dirt on very dry tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Maybe the cost of buying and transporting shale had become too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Oxford on Monday and after heat 1 I thought, oh no! we're in for a night to forget, as there were traces of dust coming from the track... but the track staff kept on top of it all night with regular watering and it was a corker of a match with close racing and passing right up until heat 15. So it can be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it can be done Yes that is true, no idea why the track was like it was last night, havent seen a blue groove for years. It certainly didn't help us and our riders seemed to be caught out. Edwards seems to have improved lately and made a couple of decent passes early on and the only interesting thing was the fluctuating scoreline which was worrying for most of the meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
