Pirates Of Poole

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.

Wouldn’t be at the expensive of Brady if Matt did decide to go down that route! Very unlikely after last season but the option is there.

Maybe Matt will look at KK to return for the remainder of the season

Lucky Poole signed Harris up as think he would have been a shoe in for Rosco. Nicholls possible with 3 changes.

I do think Linus has been improving and will offer more at home now. For me Bomber in.

Still missing a mature head in the pits, after tonight harsh I know but I would be looking to bring Harris in for Worrell.

He fell and came out for lost last ride but retired. Hope he is ok!

We would have to lose Ritchie, Josh and Nico to get them in. Top 5 of Kurtz, Nicholls, Harris, Woryna & Sundstrom

I would expect to see one change soon but can't see Nicholls or Bomber due to the fact the Rye won't release their riders in time for the cut off.

What can I say! Kurtz and Josh rubbish and how JG has kept his team place is shocking, people keep saying he will come good! Haven't seen it all season. Wooden spoon I think

Can't see any top riders coming! Simply none of them want to come to the UK.

I don't think so!

The magnificent 7 is actually Rickardsson, Loram, Ward, Holder, Middleditch, Simmons and Boyce just so you know!

Very isolated, Poole is being hit heavy with rain, 6 miles out nothing at all all day!

I'm very sure we will come out of this rut we are currently in, expect to see some new faces from the end of May to freshen things up. Remember we only need to make the top 4 in the playoffs! We then all start from zero. No panic yet, not a good enough start but I have faith.
