Planning to go up for this. What route do people recommend from Poole?

Don't be daft, we don't want to get the track wet

Yes we do, it's just behind Doyle's head

Or maybe they thought it was only going to be a short light shower which wouldn't affect things! In the past when rain has been properly forecast they tend to push the races through. Given this is how it looked at 7pm last night did any of us really expect heavy rain less than 2 hours later? Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

What long interval? I thought the interval was actually quite short last night.

It is for Swindon. As a rearranged fixture, I suppose it was something that Poole and Leicester were happy with.

Do we know that it is actually oil? No, all we know is a black coloured liquid has been poured onto the track. Lots of assumptions and very little facts.

Update on Jason from his Facebook page Wow, given how nasty that crash looked he seems to be a very lucky man. Fingers crossed for a quick full recovery.

Poole and Wolves have already agreed to postpone their race on Wednesday, based on today's result

Official now

If you get there early you can park in the Stadium car park otherwise the town centre car parks are only a short walk away. The ones near the train station being the closest.

Here's a video of Worrall's brilliant ride in Heat 13 (not my video) https://twitter.com/PirateCast/status/1007377685411237889/video/1

Looks like we will do http://www.poolepirates.co/news/2018-06-11_tough-finals-night-for-richie.html

I noticed that last year after they performed some work on it mid season. We started to lose more races.

Now confirmed that Chris won't be back with Poole this season, direct from him.

He's certainly doing well this evening so far (apart from the crash)

Really? Have you not seen him around Wimborne Road this year? His last 2 scores have been 12 & 9

It was raining hard at 6am but certainly nothing since 8am.

Josh Auty drafted in for next week http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/16248126.Pirates_draft_in_Auty_after_Nielsen_suffers_leg_break/

RE: Ross Bennett I'd like to clarify MFF is definitely not Ross. I'm a good friend of Ross's dad and hence know Ross well. For a start he does attend at Wimborne Road, when he can. I know what is real identity on here is. Yes, he's a enthusiastic young Pirates fan. If anyone wants to discuss it with me, come and see me tomorrow night, I'll be in the turn 1 end of the grandstand about 3 rows up and will be wearing a grey Pirates cap. I don't usually post on here due to a lot of the petty bickering that goes on but I do feel the need to defend Ross and his privacy.

Nah, forecast for Poole still poor for the morning.
