Was it just me, or was Kelvin Tatum creaming his pants every time a Poole rider hit the front!

Blame me. We were romping home when I stuck it on, then it all went pear shaped.
Set up wonderfully for the neutral on weds now though.
51-44

Oh well, that's a lot better than when they fucked it up completely against Wolves a couple of years ago.

Liked it that Rosco had a STFC hat on. Often see him at the County Ground, Glad he went back to the Robins and they've done a lot better this year with him there.

Heads up for the second leg at Poole tonight.
Can't quite see 7 points being enough, unfortunately. Go on Rosco, prove me wrong.

Normally I would agree with that but if they put in the effort they put in the first leg they might just do it !

Please excuse my ignorance, but why do the home team get such an advantage in Speedway?

Different track sizes mainly I would say. |

Track size and shape (straights and bends vary) and home teams usually have track surface prepared to their preferance i.e. more loose dirt or compact surface. All of these effect the set up of the bike (gearing etc) that is most suitable/faster. Usually home sides have their bike sets ups ready from the start whereas away teams take a few races to get the feel and adjust. Racing on the same track more frequently means home riders know all the nuances of the track and the best lines to take. All this stuff helps to give an advantage but not a cast iron win every time.

As I don't have Sky Sports and the chances of getting to Poole are zero, is there likely to be a dodgy internet feed of this tonight?
