Matt has already stated in his early season programme notes that Chris's long term future is at Poole and that Jack will benefit from a season away before hopefully rejoining Poole in the future. Obviously as with all line-ups it'll come down to averages fitting the points limit. Not sure why someone suggested some doubt as to whether there would be Premiership racing at Poole next season? I mean its not as if there's promotion/relegation anymore?!

Still a good idea to get there early - gates open 1830 hrs - as the schools footie competition continues from 1845 before the speedway starts.

Good to see 3 Poole riders getting some extra track time this evening - Richie Worrall for Leicester and Brady and Josh for Belle Vue.

Correct. Its the 4th Home meeting of the 4H/4A qualification even including Worrall whose done 8 meetings for us - 7 in 2017 and 1 this year - but only 3H and 5A.

So with only 25% of Premiership meetings completed, where do we think Poole will be after 28 meetings?

If he scores well and gets into the 1-5 allowing the 2 Poles to drop to reserve, then I can see him staying - as always it'll come down to averages and the numbers game.

He's only in for 28 days!!

Any more official news on the Chris Holder injury??

I'm expecting a very tough meeting for the Pirates. Expect the track to be different - again!! - Its been different for every single home meeting so far! Thorsell finally sussed out the track last year and with Schlein, Masters and Howarth all liking the Wimborne Road circuit, I can see a narrow win for the Wolves unless ALL 7 Pirates have finally found their set-ups and gating gloves!

Nothing to do with averages. Its visa and 'off-track' issues that should be sorted soon - although his injury last night may well again scupper his early return?!

in for NKI in heat 3!!!

Its not so much that you state your opinion but that you repeat it over and over and over again - usually with a bit of a dig at Poole included. We all get it - you have a thing about Poole - just try to be a bit more innovative and less repetitive! Better still do us all a favour and just give all the Poole threads a break for a while as you've said all there is to say from your perspective!!

No worries BW they'll have another big chance next Wednesday, as Poole try to get their averages down further!

As who says? All the interviews with Middlo and the riders refer to the excellent team spirit this year - much better than last year!! What they are lacking - in my opinion - is a senior experienced rider as a proper leader. No disrespect to Josh G but his current form (set-ups) cannot be helping his team captaincy. Things will change for the better once the new averages are sorted after we get beaten by Wolves on Wednesday as I fully expect we will, on current form!! Of course if we manage a win then things are clearly not as bad as many are saying!!

How on earth people think we can bring Freddie Lindgren in on a 9.29 (2017) average I just don''t know!!

1pm and a little drizzle locally - as per forecast!!

Doubt it'll be Richie Worrall as he's not riding for Poole this evening after his crash last night!!

Surely you mean the magnificent 6?! NB, Am I wrong or didn't Doolan score a hatful of points previously at Wimborne Road? 49-41.

Even the Rye House meeting report refers to Woryna making a 'terrific pass'!!

Worrall's 4th home (2017/18) meeting tomorrow so will get a new average!! PS, As part of the extra entertainment and value, there will be the first of 4 Schools Football matches from 6.45pm as well. The others to take place on successive home meetings!

Good to see James Shanes getting the guest bookings for the Rebels this week.

Ah I see some of the idiots have been let out of the asylum again!!

Not sure what Richie's average is or when it will change? He was on 7.26 last year but only did 3 home/4 away meetings so didn't get a new average.

So Chris hopeful of getting clearance this coming week so his visa application can be progressed once more. Meanwhile Richie Worrall replaces Kildemand who can't fulfill any more meetings.

Well it might be a 3 pointer if Smolli or another isn't signed in time!!!
