Awful decision to allow Brennan back in the super heat, but at least it didn't cost us.

That might be the only match Poole lose in the league all season.

We didn't actually lose though! It was a draw after 15 that is why we have a league point:D

We didn’t lose. We drew. And Brennan was ahead of Masters exiting bend two. Masters didn’t need to go down. Pro dive.

He was ahead of Masters because he pushed through and took him out. Simple. But as I said, a bad referring decision didn't cost us thankfully, so we can let it go.

Yeh I think it was a fair decision as he must have looked at it several times .

Jesus, you Poole fans are touchy. Only you lot could argue over a compliment. 

That might be the only point Poole drop in the league all season.

That better?

The super heat absolutely favours the home side. If an away team gets a draw, two points away, one for the home side. A team like Oxford are not going to drop many points at home in heats 13 and 15. And if there’s a super heat it’s those two again. Plus they had pick of the gates in the super heat! 

A good meeting though and a point for the Pirates.

A super heat in a league match is complete nonsense...:rolleyes:

Draw: Home team 1pt  Away team 2pts

Yes, maybe time to get rid of superheat as now the Daily Echo saying we lost the meeting! :blink: If the media struggle with it prob best to scrap it tbh.

Dunno about watching it on TV, it's far better to be there like I was tonight!

In heat 14 we were very unlucky. Perfect gate by Zach called back, rerun gated again Heeps crashed and bike hit Foord. Third rerun Boughen gates. No luck there at all. 

What is clear is that Poole are a better team than Oxford and the Cheetahs are no threat this season. Entertaining evenings entertainment and BSN are bloody brilliant.

Even if the first running stayed, was a 3:3 entering corner, 2nd running was a clear 3:3 before Heeps came down, heat eventually ended a 3:3, no bad luck there.

Draw probably a fair result, not a fan of super heat but the extra point may well be the difference between top 4 or not.

Competitive night with both teams suffering at times to drop points. Good meeting for the home fans and the BSN fans. Hagon is improving all the time. Ashton is so classy when he hits the front. Good signs for Team GB the next generation. 
 

I really liked the respect Heeps showed to Ford after he wiped him out. Very classy.

The fastest line for a few weeks now has literally been an inch from the fence, more so on turns 3 and 4.  Whilst this has produced a few great heats, it's an accident waiting to happen, especially at Championship level with more inexperienced riders on track.

The Heeps crash could so easily have been worse with his bike running loose. Boughen bounced off the fence a few weeks ago but got away with it.

Not in this case Poole will be top of the league & miles away from 5th imo.

My biggest issue with the scoring system is both teams end up happy, Poole gain a point but Oxford don't lose any.

Every other club in the league will be unhappy.
