Thanks for buying the stream. The view of those there in real time was that he went out wide for the extra grip and got blocked by Pijper. Nothing wrong with that tactic by the way but Bowes clearly had the speed and Pijper was 'extra determined' not to be overtaken after his heat 2 d/q.

..as opposed to the usual Ipswich suspect talking his usual b0!!○<ks.

Bowes was so upset, in tears in the pits especially after being blocked against the pit fence by Pijper in his 2nd ride and then engine troubles in his last. Good to see him putting g some extra laps in after the meeting. Incidentally Klindt clocked the fastest time of the season so far. All times were fast compared to previous weeks. Also well worthy of a mention and Sponsors Rider of the Night, Will Cairns - 11 points as well as a heat 14 blown engine on his lap of honour .

Ah yes the regional draw that wasn't regional.🤣

O.K. Oops!

How am I trolling? Just a simple question as Poole have Redcar home and away this week.

So who would Edinburgh prefer in the BSN semi final? Poole or Redcar?

Nice few rain showers this morning then dry for the rest of the day. Let the battle of the reserves commence....

....plus Kyle is a decent decorator!!🤣

Kyle stays.

Sounds like the decision has been made!!😉

Gilkes!!

Hopefully will improve even more being partnered with Lawson at 1 and 2. As I put on the Poole 2026 thread, Fraser started the season quite well with 5+1, 6+1 and 8+1 in his first 3 meetings!!

Also lets not forget Bowes got injured in the winter, keeping him out of the Aussie Championships. He has actually scored well in his first few meetings (5+1, 6+1, 8+1) but then only managed 3, 2+1 and 0 in his next 3 which included falls and mechanicals! His average has gone from 5.63 t0 5.42, whereas Kyle Newman has gone from 4.82 to 4.98. With Cooper Rushen getting a 'full' average in a week or so, I guess Kyle will be dropping to reserve!!

Will attendances suffer after losing at home?

Seems like you are still getting entertaining speedway so the results don't matter do they?😁 Lets hope your attendances aren't affected......

50-40

So getting back on topic, who would Pirates prefer in the BSN semi finals? Edinburgh or Berwick? (They can't meet each other in the semis)

I guess the result doesn't really matter to the home fans as long as they were entertained. Well done Edinburgh, joining Redcar, Poole and Berwick in the semis.

Poole's Matt Ford waiting to see how Gilkes performs for Leicester before making any decision

When Cooper gets his proper average, who would be a better reserve? Bowes, Gilkes or Newman?

Where did the 'proper speedway shale' come from? Answers please to BSPL.......

Poole didn't need the aggregate point to progress to the semi finals, just the win.

Kyle certainly improved after his first 2 rides. Maybe he needs to get 'fired up' in every meeting by a bit of a fracas in the pits?! (Thank you Mr Ritchings 😇)

Well he seems fit enough for Leicester to have him back in the Prem!! Dickson is no fool........
