We are the champions Olay Olay Olay! NID!

Nowak in heat 6. Should have been called back. Smashed into Newman.

He missed it by a mile!

We need 18 more points from 11 heats to be Champs!

Four heats. No passing. Just saying.

Why is it in speedway we see morbidly obese track staff or riders mechanics at every track?

Well Glasgow are certainly fired up. They have started well enough.

BSN is bloody excellent. If you don’t have it you are really missing out.

Tom Brennan says they are going all out to pull it back. Steve Worrall says he thinks no different to normal, win the meeting.

Well I am there every week and the track is good with plenty of racing. But this year with Poole strong if we make the gate the opposition isn’t going to do anything. Nowt wrong with the track, perhaps the quality of opposition and the fact that PL riders have more ability. (Less so in recent seasons) interesting track walk with Chris Harris on BSN. Think he just uses natural instinct to pass riders at the spur of the moment. Few riders blessed with that ability,

Agree Plymouth is a dire little racetrack. But better than nothing.

People need to really understand that Wimborne Road is a great racetrack. We witness brilliant racing virtually every week, except perhaps when Glasgow are in town. If racing was so processional we wouldn’t get a crowd. Berwick put up a far better fight last week. I go home and away and have visited every Championship club with the exception of Edinburgh and Redcar. I was at Birmingham on Wednesday and the racing was pretty dire. Poole is better than the majority of tracks in the U.K., with perhaps the exception of a few.

Cabbageman, can you please form proper sentences. Use full stops and commas, not ……. It makes everyone out of breath reading your posts. And by the way, Pirates are in their place.

More chance of Lord Lucan seen riding Shergar down Buchanan Street this lunchtime.

Weather looks set fair.

Perhaps they should try to get a young Asian lad on a bike and train him up a bit see where it could lead.

Don’t be ridiculous. I wish Birmingham to be successful and prosperous going forward. Thought the crowd last night was poor so if that was a good crowd would shudder to the what crowds have been like. The presentation was great, the track was ok if very slick. The racing was not great as it was difficult to pass but not too dusty until the very end. Very frustrating to not get decent amount of customers through the door with so many people living in the area.

Pirates could have had 60 but gave Adam Roynon his full quota and didn’t use Lawson and Worrall in heat 15. It was all over in the first 3 heats and it was a very one sided meeting played out in front of a small crowd. Lots of Pirate fans made the trip to cheer on the boys, some getting very nicely pickled. Next up the matter of a trophy on Friday night.

Come and find me on the first/second bend with the Poole fans, unless I see you first. Will be with my young daughter who has never been to a speedway meeting away from Poole.

As expected Danny King guesting. Good guest and perfect cover for Morris.

Not when I have a 3 and a half hour journey home. Who have Brum got in for Morris?

Well done to Anders Rowe. Best rider there by the proverbial mile but missed the gate in the final but still got through to second. Bailey with his ex-home track advantage stole it but it was a good meeting.

What about back to London in future. West Ham’s London Stadium would be perfect.

There’s no collywobbles to be had about this meeting. We can all watch the stream on BSN. Champions will not be in doubt but Poole will hopefully not just go through the motions to get 30 points. Think they will want to win on the night. Forecast shows a small risk of a few light shower in the afternoon. Shouldn’t put the meeting in doubt.
