No. He hasn't missed a meeting. BSN said he was puking up in the pits! (Shame it wasn't at The Coliseum - it could do with a bit of a spruce up)!🤣 PS. Good luck to the Bears against the Tigers. Don't really want Glasgow on successive weeks!😇

Usually lifts all trophies in the south in the 2nd leg! North will make a pleasant change.

Oeufs et bacon, si'l vous plait!

I wonder what they'll try to do in the track prep this time

Joint team managers for Pirates on Friday. Both Havvy and Middlo at the ECCO. (Possibly also Matt Ford if he's still over here?)🫠

..and yet a once-again packed grandstand thoroughly enjoyed the racing and the result. Incidentally heat 15 amongst others proved there can be great racing with no passes at all.

Let's just put this to bed once and for all. There were some complications with the birth of Rich's son Rio, which required Rich to be there, but all is now well. Congratulations to all the family. Now the ECCO beckons.......again.

Darryl broke his hand on Sunday at the Whoppa!

A Good win for the Pirates. Track was a little slicker tonight but still some fast times. With owner Matt Ford in attendance and giving a strong team talk, the Pirates achieved their aim of a 12/14 point advantage. BTW Lawson is available for Friday. (also BTW I have my covid jab on 18th!)

......and another one bites the dust! We will, we will rock you! COYP.

Jag?? Don't you mean Range Rover?

Lawson rides. Hodder in for Scott.

What, like missing Lawson last Sunday????

So I am right in saying Bears can't use Allen on Friday or Sunday due to 8 day rule and/or working on Sunday. Nor Scott on Friday due to concussion?? Am I? Surely Zischke the option for Friday....?

Probably Matt Ford checking out guests in case Lawson still unavailable!!

Poole: Lawson (tbc), Thomsen, Kerr, Cook,Rowe, Starke, Cairns. Redcar: Wright, Mulford, Edwards, Allen(G), King, Ritchings(G), Pijper. Poole are 'hopeful' of Lawson's availability. Poole to take a 10 point lead to the Ecco. Thoughts.

Ah yes. Good point. I'd forgotten that. Thanks.

But, depending on how long Lawson's compassionate leave lasts, Ellis won't be usable next Friday due to the '8-day rule'!

You might need to change your list?!

You can't ask for more than winning home and away. Solid job Pirates. Same again this coming week and next please.😇

All his gear is probably all packed up and on the way back to Oz!

You're forgetting NID - Never In Doubt!

Effectively 11 from 4 as he had 2 machinery failures!!

So why withdraw from the Poole Blue Riband?

In 2024 Zach rode at 4 all season with his brother at 3 and and Tom at 5 and only increased his average from 6.22 to 6.23! This year he's had the extra 'burden' of the captaincy because nobody else wanted it yet still improved his average by over a point. Agree he likes the BV track (who doesn't) but its different machinery, and different set-up for a big track.
