Of course it is. It’s Rob McCaffrey with his usual anti Poole diatribes. He despises us and his past rants in the Premier section were quite amusing but for the fact he meant every word. No one on this thread or any other Poole thread has been boasting, being intolerable, or anything else for that matter. A bit of banter, well it is a sport, but little else. Heading down shortly. Will Chuck up some clips of track/pits/parade etc. later on my Twitter. @steveshovlar

If Basso is in the 2022 team, and clearly all Pirates fans want it to be so, then missing a handful of meetings is a small price to pay for what could be a heat leader on a reserve average.

Now entering the final week of the season, we have the second leg of the KO Cup final on Wednesday. Pirates have a 5 point lead from the first leg and are favourites to lift the cup. At the moment a dry day is forecast. As Poole have been rock solid at home so far this season, it’s going to take a monumental effort from the Monarchs to turn this one around. Highly unlikely but not impossible. Will they do it? I don’t think so. 50-40. Thoughts?

Danyon Hume has had a very good season and I would welcome him back next year. Think there still a fair bit of improvement left in him and he has a good rapport with the Poole fans. He ran a silly last in his second ride when leading Thompson for 3 3/4 laps, and the tapes in his first was frustrating. Came good in the end though. As for Ben Basso, a performance like today has been on the cards for some time. Certainly looks like a rider with a big future ahead of him.
