Looks like its one of those seasons as for me I will still follow the pirates they say form is temporary and class is permanent well if Brady and Jack carry on with improving lets build around them I would like to see Ritchie back def worth a place Matt has cocked up this year but we cant win all the time if its meant to be lets look forward to next year

I understand the reason ( in Matts eyes) his reason for dropping Kyle it is his club after all it was the dreaded numbers game but if Kyle was the first name on the team sheet for next year I will be happy was gutted for him on his first meeting for the lions he must deserve an injury free run by now

A Orlov spot on EK will score more than KK has been doing this season he might struggle at away tracks but no worse than our misfiring no1 all these star names being bandied about would have been better to wait for signing sorry but it does make them silly

If our season looks potentially over I would rather finish as high as possible through the effort of the riders we have not bending rules just to win, may suit some which is their perrogative but for me I like to hold my head high and at least fans of other clubs would feel that they have not been cheated in some way

People may take the wee wee about EK but he gives 100% and the way the Poles are trying to take over the speedway world there may be no big hitters in Britain much longer and to be honest if the racing is good I don't care if they stay away lots wont agree with me but its only my opinion

Gater 1 you are being harsh on richie he has not done bad at Poole and copared to some he has tried and been on the pace most of the time sorry for hijacking forum for this

For what its worth lets keep the two brits per team its the only way they can improve i am sure they have two under 21 polish riders at reserve in the polish league correct me if wrong when James beat Nick last night the crowd really loved it as didJames it has to give them confidence to keep trying

Nothing to add to this really except both Gavan and Steve on his write up spot on could not believe how we just crumbled understand how KL fans feel after the other day but I will still watch the Pirates in the belief it will get better we are still there or thereabouts for the playoffs

Well done to Swindon last night mullered us good and proper who seemed to want it most was the robins most disappointing to me was our lack of effort so it seemed hate losing but if is after giving everything then can accept it but when it seems we were not up for it that is what gets my goat

Got to agree with steve tonight no excuses Swindon wanted it Poole looked disinterested big shout for shanes am glad he got his first win had to battle for it well pleased for him was told big holder in pits if he was there for Jack didnt work lets put it to bed and see if we can turn it round once again well done Robins

Would I want Holder back at Poole ,of course if its the right one but a Holder who shafted KL just to get back no thanks I am old fashioned enough to believe you do the best you can wherever you are its called morals apologies to other Holder fans who may think differently

Am glad Kyle only has concussion we were lucky that Freddie had an off night and yes out of the two injured riders Poole had the better replacement so were stronger but as its been said you still go for the points as Swindon did at Leicester Richie should be pencilled in for next year if we cant keep him this season hope James ok for wed

Can't add anything extra to this except I agree with Ray that 4away points very nice but in my view tainted and yes although the pirates didn't do anything wrong its our sport that has suffered

Cant see us getting anything from this meeting tbh but would be nice to see a gutsy display and well done Ritchie no Brady Kurtz but gave it a real go

May sound desperate but in this watered down league may not be as bad as it sounds

I hope Ritchie doesn't read these negative posts before he turns a wheel for us,i know they are not personal but lets give him a chance it would be hard for a lot of riders to be able to cover for Brady its down to Matt to get cover and for whatever reason we have got Ritchie so I will be in my normal spot cheering him as I do all the riders in Pirates colours

Agree with skidder the last thing we need is to hit a guys confidence however we feel about the kyle situation lets get back to our winning ways

Skidder perhaps I didn't phrase my thoughts properly when I said unfortunately about Matt making changes I should have said unfortunately for Kyle

I think without a doubt that the no1 position is def on matts mind it has been the main problem this year and Kyle is the first of a couple of changes

I agree with Gavan Kyle has been brilliant for us but the word is has , i shout and cheer for Kyle every week at Wimborne and have the shirt to go with it but Matt did say in his programme notes the team wasnt good enough unfortunately Matt will do what he thinks it takes to win but really hope Kyle can get his form back somehow

welcome back gavan got to agree if nick rides anything like his form is at the mo def better than kk has been this from a long time kk fan

As was said on the Poole forum if KK had been doing his job then we would probably be unbeaten but with if being a big word he hasn't so we need to get it sorted I know a lot of other clubs fans enjoyed Swindon beating us at home but we have the time to get it sorted its a funny league this year this might make for a closer fight for the playoffs and yes Swindon deserved to win so no complaints but chuffed we got it back to 2 points

Just a note I feel for Adam had 2 scaphoid injuries to my right wrist as a biker myself its a real bxmmer trying to ride normally let alone racing around a track once its healed he may prove to be a better signing than some may feel at the mo

I am ready to be shot down here as i wasnt at the ota but all the bad vibes towards Garrity seem a bit ott ,the guy is a pro like him or hate him I am sure he was not pleased with his performance and as a Poole fan and a KK fan when he shows up as the racer he can be, surely if as some fans are saying he could have made the meeting{s} it is him that we should be ticked off with As the best known saying in our sport is its not won until October

Nothing wrong in your opinion Gavan i think in similar lines but as has been said although the form of the riders down under may be different than some fans would expect once March is here then thats the time to get a real idea on form etc
