Pirates Of Poole

How when his GSA has finished at 6.74? Which includes all September meetings. The issue has come about because the cut off was 25th September when his ‘official average ‘ for team building is 6.74 for 2019 so that was looked at when making the decision. Ellis will score more than NKI at Poole, he performs very badly at Poole but KL will miss his scores in the return as can’t see Adam scoring the same.

How have the rules changed to help Poole? Kurtz 6.75 replaced by Morris 6.74!

Let’s make one thing very clear with people using facts and figures - up to 27th September Nick Morris average is 6.74 - Brady is 6.75 this is confirmed on the Swindon speedway site!

Ellis to ride for NKI at Poole

He has taken a nasty knock to the head today, I would be very surprised if NKI rides tomorrow.

Morris is a good option Toby would have been the best option but within the averages Nick is the next best option. Ellis at Kings Lynn is a bit of a concern if he is at 5, but my guess is Josh will go to 5 and Adam will ride at 3 or 4.

Sounds to me like Ipswich are now seriously looking to move up along with Sheffield.

One of the meetings I understand with another rider in the other due to the +5% home allowance on averages.

Which he has rightly taken. Awaiting the club to announce the 2 riders they will be using Monday & Wednesday in place of Brady.

Thanks very bad timing for Somerset.

Why where is he?

The NSS is a standout easily the best track & stadium in the UK hands down! No other track or stadium comes near in the UK at present.

I really can’t call this, it’s either going to be like the last tv meeting against both sides where Poole struggled to get there set up with a similar score or Poole could pull off a shock. Either way I will be there to cheer the boys on!

We will see Steve

Since 2000 which I would call the modern era Poole have been the most successful club with Coventry not far behind. But Belle Vue remain the ‘most successful’ of all time currently even though they have have failed to win a league title for 25 years. Anyway back to Poole 2019 - Top 4 of Chris Holder, Jack Holder, Chris Harris & Brady Kurtz.

Think it could be closer than people think, Swindon always up their game when we are in town. 4 points either way for me, will depend if Nick is fit to ride and of course all Poole riders come through the morning meeting with no issues.

Will be Mark Riss

Absolute disgrace to call that off. The track was wetter prior to heat 1 with the hose pipe watering! I was amazed and shocked when they called it off with not even an attempt to grade. Something isn’t right here at all. Never seen a end to a meeting like that, fans booing & all the riders walked over which was strange, where was Nigel? No interviews, nothing! Really poor. I’m the mug because I come back week every week. Bloke next to me with his daughter made it clear he won’t be, said this happened at the last meeting he came too and said he won’t be coming back again as felt he was being short changed! The BSPA wonder why the sport is dying in this country.

Chris cannot ride here for any team! He does not have the correct visa in place!

Chris does not have a visa, it’s all rumours.

If Josh does not ride for Poole tomorrow, regardless if he is on a Polish License it makes a joke of the decision made at the AGM. UK top flight is Monday & Wednesday and this was agreed to avoid clashes with Poland. Monday is Poland’s off night, so Josh should be at Leicester, if he isn’t then a 28 day ban should be put in place for with holding his services. He hasn’t ridden much in Poland this year, so surely staying loyal to UK is better for him. All the messing about at the start with not using him, now they are desperate as they are behind on fixtures and need the points to climb up the table.

Poland know the deal, Monday & Wednesday is UK. I would be amazing if Josh isn’t at Leicester and Matt will hold his ground.

Good point but again like some many times this season, we work so hard and lead the whole meeting and throw it away at the end. So frustrating, still think we are 1 rider short of the winning formula.

Any idea how long Doyley will be out for?

7.03 Tai’s average.
