Turnip not be up in Redcar this time, shame coz it's cracking liddle venue with a good track. I'm always up for a Pirates win & me thinkin it will be hard fought with us edging it 47-43. I was at Leicester when they annihilatied Redcar the other week, Bears were woeful ! C'MON THE PIRATES

Thank you for someone clarifying my thoughts about Lawson. Cheers

Maybe Lawson still suffering from his knee injury so didn't push things when behind as the win wasn't in doubt ?

Well done Pirates on the 58-32 Win Stevie, job's a good un Wot happened with Lawson? Couple of below par rides. Drew looking good judging by his score & Nathan doing his job All round solid job. Sorted.

I can hear Morecambe & Wise getting into tune

Aces are gonna win the Premiership this season! This Turnip knowz his onions!

Rules? Wot are rules? When we av the Ford's who needs rules?

Can't they make the graphics bigger? And sorry Sam, me thinks he's never been up to the TV stuff as the nerves always show. Simon Stead, Olly Allen would be good alternatives. Josh Pickering is a natural & Jason Crump .

Hope the weather is better down there than up ere in Derbyshire.......Rain is all around me everywhere I go......Wet Wet Wet ! Hope u don't end up in Wethers-poons!

Being a Pirate I could cut a deal for the Diamonds on sum Polyfilla to use on that rut/hole in the base of the track!

Adam Ellis may come in handy

Bit of a catch 22, either earlier decision coz of the distance for Newcastle or later decision due to the forecast. Either way let's hope it's all systems go for a Pirates Win

No pressure at all. We did the Double last year in the same position. This year we will do the Treble plus the Riders' Championship coz we are the Pirates, simples.

Poole Pirates are the best Ben!

To the Dad's Army tune.... Who do you think you are kidding Mr Lyon if you think you gonna win the league again?!

Just as Josh called it on the TV

Well done Witches

Blowing yer big end? Ahhhhhh that's better

Funny enough the surgeon said that to my doctor when I went in for brain surgery!

Health & Safety........just a thought Before tracks are allowed to start each season the base of the track should be inspected by an appropriate licensed official. Just like a car having a mot. And like a mot, any necessary work to be carried out before it is issued a certificate to show it is fit for purpose. This will come at a cost but doesn't everything involved with health and safety e.g. air fences. I don't know wot inspections are actually made with the track other than it's surface before a meeting starts. Maybe they need to use Tatum's dirtometer and a scanner that archeologist's use!

Whilst I try to appreciate the hours put in behind the scenes to get meetings on whether that be the track work, medical cover, programmes, getting volunteers in, getting the paperwork done, getting guests etc etc etc........ At the end of the day if the show isn't right on the night for those that pay to watch, especially new or floating supporters, they are less likely to return again. I say this about any entertainment venue, you can't expect people to understand wot goes on behind the scenes too try to get things right, after all they don't pay for that!!! They only pay for things to be right on the night. I speak from experience of helping to organise speedway social evenings. Simples

Diamonds may be cut but Pirates are cut throat!

Well he wasn't successful coz I got s face full of it in the next heat!

I stand on bend one and you could clearly see the 'dip' going into that bend (on the inside of the track) from the start of the meeting. A track guy pointed to this area when Dickson was driving the tractor. Dip remained.

Wasn't a great advert for speedway at Leicester with the track issues & in some races you could tell riders were riding round rather than racing. Ironically the fastest times ever were being produced around there. After heat 2 tractor came out after nearly every heat.
