I can't believe how much Josh has improved since this time last year

And as Nij has said, if the paramedic wasn’t back by 10pm they would have called it off then.

Yes. They agreed on a cut off time of 10:15. Anything could have happened over those remaining heats. I wasn’t expecting us to win with 2 men out and having to rely on Paul Starke to take on better riders.

What have they done wrong now?

Looks like Jack is riding for us (as it should be) https://poole-speedway.com/news/view/26-06-19-preview-poole-pirates-v-belle-vue

Oh bugger, Matt has spent thousands getting in a road grader, etc to level the base and it wasn't necessary!! Why didn't Starry tell Matt that beforehand?

Yeah he did have a bit of a mare on Thursday. Hope Richie Worrall continues his good form from this weekend though.

I think you'll find that the Poole Promotion have admitted that the track isn't good enough and it needs sorting out. https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/17684247.its-an-investment-we-have-to-make-pirates-to-spend-extensive-amounts-on-wimborne-road-track/ Admittedly they've not been able to get the equipment required to sort it yet but I would hope that they will be shortly.

Then you would know it's not a wooden stand, as the concrete grandstand was built in 1960 and the glass fronted grandstand was built in 1997

Thank you Aviator - Geoff has obviously never been to Wimborne Road.

What wooden stand?? I'm pretty damm sure the stand is steel & concrete.

At least Doyley seems to be in good spirits.

He did OK tonight then

This was the list they published on Monday. Since then they've also announced Chris Harris and Edward Kennett will attend and Charley Powell can no longer attend. No other names have been mentioned. 500 solos Tim Nobes , Thomas Jorgensen , Andrew Appleton Zach Watjknecht, James shanes , Adam Ellis , Paul Hurry James Wright , Stephen Green paul Cooper charley Powell Jody Hodgson AAron Butcher ( to Date )

Well done to Somerset on their Knockout Cup 2018 win.

Do you know who's not going to be there?

Looks like there's a few names there that we recognise in the 500 Singles line up. Tim Nobes , Andrew Appleton, Zach Watjknecht, Thomas Jorgensen, James Shanes, Adam Ellis, Eddie Kennett, Paul Hurry, James Wright, Paul Cooper, Stephen Green, Dave Mears, Jody Hodgson, Aaron Butcher, Chris Harris

It's fairly obvious if you've seen the advert. There aren't many speedway riders who live in that area and have a set of helmets over the fireplace, trophies on display and a track in the back garden.

Well done Tai

What a night! Commiserations to Somerset, I thought they were going to clinch it. Best wishes to Brady & Jack too. For those who want to see H15 again and again. https://twitter.com/btsport/status/1046879665993015298/video/1

I'd certainly like Harris, Woryna, Klindt and Jackobsen back next year and work the rest of the team around them.

Average manipulation for next season?

Yeah it’s certainly the busiest meet so far this year.
