The only bs about Poole is from other fans who seem to forget that all teams were built to the same points limit. Its then that the management work to get the best from their 1-7 to entertain, attract decent crowds and yes WIN. For Poole, mostly it works - sometimes it doesnt. For others, mostly it doesnt - sometimes it does! Up the Pirates.

There are also whispers on social media about Howarths availability, but he has confirmed he'll be there.

Excellent choices to cover missing riders!!😜😜

There are several candidates!!

I thought Skidder1 had taken enough stick from certain posters so I called up an earlier 'monika' out of retirement.

Yes definitely 9th - weather permitting!🤣

A week Wednesday is the BSN FINAL 2nd leg. Ben should be good to ride in the first leg on Sunday 29th.

Looks like I could have been hacked Wayne, or should that be stalked?

...cos Poole are at home v Scunny!!!!🤣

Because the statements are not entirely accurate. Ben has 2 more Pirate finals after the Championship play offs.

With Vinnie's support team and advisors very much Southern-based - lets wait and see. There is something of a debate amongst some Pirate fans that Vinnie will drop back to 2.00 pts for team building. Not sure where that has come from???

I'm aware of what you said! I simply wondered who your choice would be

His Aces kevlars are ripped to pieces!!

Is Tom Brennan OK? Can't afford to lose another heat leader thus coming week.#piratepride

Who would you choose PK?

Absolutely. So many meetings with all the finals Poole are in, it gets a bit confusing.😇 So unlike Plymouth with few fixtures, few riders.................................!🤣

So he did. I forgot that. Maybe Danny King can be convinced then?

According to BSN streaming schedule

Kemp scoring just about what Mpt would??

I reckon Kerr at Oxford and Bomber or Picko at Wimborne Road. The latter 2 cannot guest at Oxford cos their GSA's are too high. At Poole Ben's average of 8.72 has a +5% option for a guest. October's GSAs will give different (worse?) options if Ben is not fit to return.

Who is Karl Newman?

To be fair Ben only scored 5+2 on both visits to Oxford this season!!

Great to see Ben with no bones broken and no dislocations. Scans also clear so 9 day concussion protocol kicks in from today.

Yes you could be right?! Maybe he covered for Rory early on......?

Picko not doing Championship at all in 2025. I know he said the same last year in hope that a Polish contract materialised. It didn't. However he has one in place for 2025
