Overcast in Poole today and forecast to be the same throughout the day. Might even be a slight risk of some natural watering to assist the track prep. Edinburgh boys will be well fed and watered at Middlo's overnight so looking forward to a decent meeting.

As good as Picko is (and he is good), he won't be setting any new track records at Wimborne Road tonight! In fact nobody will.

The choice of potential guest (7.73 Home/7.36 away) shouldn't be a problem. Although the Saturday Home fixtures may be for some?! Best wishes to Tate.

It was a serious question!!(no winks, smileys or emojis)!

Just out of interest what do you estimate a good crowd to be? I've watched several streamed meetings and found it difficult to judge.

He's announced in the line-up for Tuesday v Edinburgh.

Have they lined up a major 'Loads-a-money' sponsor then?

So could Worky run on a Monday or Thursday evening in Premiership? Poole have tried it, won the titles but lost money! Supporters prefer Wednesday racing and the club's finances and attendances are much improved with Wednesday racing. Don't know about Glasgow but presumably they also don't want to move away from their regular racenight?! Of course if Premiership racing was on each club's preferred racenight - and had priority -, then who knows.......?

'That landlord' is only the leaseholder. The Poole Stadium site is owned by the Council.

A brand new Pirates Promotional video set to drop on Monday, 1st July (just in time for the summer holidays)!! The teaser makes for great viewing should there be any future doubts about how popular speedway and the Pirates are in Poole and surrounding areas! The full version tomorrow should be excellent to spread the word further, especially if its needed in the future for any reason....................!

Congratulations to Tobias Thomsen on the birth of his 2nd son yesterday

Yep quite an impression so far.

Max by his own admission had lost confidence but proved in the NDLRC Individual on Wednesday that his head is back in the game.. Now as long as he can improve his gating at Championship level........,.

Pirates team to face the Monarchs:- 1.Richard Lawson; 2. Tobias Thomsen; 3. Ben Cook; 4. Zach Cook; 5. Tom Brennan; 6. Sam Hagon; 7. Max Perry(G). Edinburgh 1 Josh Pickering 2 Kye Thomson 3 Lasse Fredriksen 4 Michele 'Paco' Castagna (Capt) 5 Justin Sedgmen 6 Max James 7 Connor Coles.

With the SoN squads announced this morning, whats the latest on Adam Ellis' injury?

Wayne's World!!

Plymouth clearly waited to see how Tate did at Oxford before offering him the guest booking!

...as opposed to you being the equivalent in Devon - with much bigger turds to polish!

Is that Henry ATKINS? Asking for a friend....

Joe Thompson and Stene Pijper added to riders participating in place of Scott and Hodder.

They had a meeting last Wednesday at Oxford. They would be hosting their KO Cup semi final this Wednesday but Scunthorpe refused the fixture, hence hosting the NLDRC instead. Edinburgh next Weds at home.

Was the attendance a lot better as the Promoter had requested?

Poor crowd. The Eurosport director needs to tell his cameraman not to use the wide shots of the main stand!!

Poole have announced that the glass grandstand, bars and restaurant areas will NOT be open for this fixture. All visitor access will be via the entrances to the rear of the East (main) grandstand. Champs bar and snack bars on the bends will be open as usual

Let's hope Sam Hagon can take his place after his crash at Berwick! He's withdrawn from the Leicester team at BV today - presumably to get all his teeth fixed up?!
