Pedersen was heard later in the pits, sobbing a quote from a 'Carry on...' film - "Infamy, infamy........they've all got it in for me!" Having said that with slight tongue in cheek, I do get the impression that certain groups of riders - and not only Monster riders - will do almost anything to baulk NP at every opportunity!!

People who still believe the EL season extends to the end of October should think again. With the Aussie GP on 24/10 and the BSPA AGM brought forward a month to 17th October and Polish/Swedish play-offs also scheduled for September, its becoming a 6-month April-September season. The only thing that may extend it this season is any special Darcy Ward meeting?!

14th, 21st, 28th and 30th are correct. They have not changed even though the cut-off has been extended to 10th September.

I'm not sure the Piratecast lads will go ahead with the T-shirt idea?! They are an 'unofficial' fan site and I believe there may have been some further discussion on the idea, even though the official 'DW#43' pledge site has selected their logo!! Watch this space.........

I think fans of all clubs that have any of the Aussie boys in their teams should be a little realistic and not expect everyone to perform to their expected form. I'm not sure that a Poole win is on the cards here?!

So when this is rearranged in September both Milik and Batchelor will be 2nd strings!!!

Pirate by name - Pirate by nature!

As a fellow Poole fan has put on the Poole forum, wouldn't it be just the right thing for the next P V S meeting to be drawn 43-43?! Both sides to agree to drop 2 points each. DW#43 #getwelldarcy

With certain clubs seeking to extend the league season at yesterday's EL pre-AGM, plus today's KL v Swindon now also off I guess we should expect some sort of BSPA announcement - once Sky have been consulted of course!!

Who is Bradford??/

I wonder if Zagar and Doyle will be??

...and he's tweaked his bad knee again plus possible spinal injury!!! Get well soon DW.

Milik only took 2 rides for Wroclaw today and scored zilch. Still struggling!! Garrity guesting for Leicester so should liven things up a bit

I can't see Milik being back - he only took 2 rides in Poland today and failed to score!!

Magic was instructed to ride today - scoring 6 points from 5 rides. Wroclaw lost by 2 points but still qualified for the play-offs

Janowski being 'instructed' to ride!!!

If tomorrow is rained off again then I think the next/only available date for both teams could be Monday 7th September!!!!!

I wonder if the Bees promotion will put a block on Harris guesting for Poole on Monday??

Maciej missing on Monday and only Coventry and Lakeside to choose from for a guest??! Better to go with r/r. (And as I said in an earlier post, Poole would beat BV, pick up points at both Lakeside and Leicester and an away win is on the cards for the Robins on Monday!!)

Severe bruising of chest and shoulder for Maciej. Will be missing on Monday v Swindon. MF trying to source a suitable guest from Coventry or Lakeside??!!!!!! Might as well go with r/r at home.

At least you haven't got Ronnie Allan refereeing again - we've got him at Lakeside tonight!!!!

I guess with Sarjeant likely to have 7 rides, the key question is 'how many sets of starting tapes will be required'?

Are you suggesting that Poole aren't good opposition for what might be your last meeting at the Arena - or are you only looking at it from a 'winning is everything' perspective - something that Poole are usually accused of??!

That's up to the home promotion to make that call - it is their business after all!! As for it being a big away win, I don't see it. Holder hates the place, Watt and Gomolski will be 'under par' (for very different reasons) and we are never quite sure what we'll get from North?!

If the ref thought Sarjeant moved again even slightly in heat 12 (and I can't be sure that he did) then he was disqualified from the heat for not heeding the ref's earlier warning. The official programme shows Garrity (exc) and Sarjeant (e)!! Anyone up with the SCB's abbreviations?
