Pirates Of Poole

Josh Bates to ride in both meetings this week for Poole.

We should win this, if we fail to I would expect sweeping changes will be made.

We should have taken all points on offer with a weakened opponent but 2 points is better than nothing. Taking nothing from Leicester they battled till the end and got the final heat 5-1.

Klindt has now been purchased from Wolves so becomes a club asset, good move for the future.

Could Lindback be looking for more track time? Confidence shot by the look of it.

Looks like Linus Sundstrum could also be in the shake up going forward.

Welcome to Poole Gregorz Zengota!

What average would Nicki arrive on? Would he get a reduction as he hasn't ridden here for 3 years or more.

Why do we need to replace with a big hitter? See if we can find an 8 point rider and balance the team at 7 keeping Kerr? Just an option. I'm confident Matt will find someone.

Taxi for KK. Well done Swindon, you deserved it!

Hosepipe, spade, shovel, rake and a horse and plough 😂

Wonder how he would have got on if he didn't make the GP's then as Matt confirmed he would have signed.

Do we keep Kerr instead of Jack?

Happy with 2 points! Considering Swindon held an 8 point league, they should have kept that certainly at home. Fought back well in 14&15. Have to say KK's form is shocking, 5 from your number 1 is not good enough. Hans on fire and Doyle solid for Swindon. Think Adam has come back too soon from injury.

Swindon will just edge this 47-43.

Can't see Watt staying much longer!

Well said! I have real concerns at how many meetings KK will be missing this season. Back to Somerset and a good meeting, ended very slick but a great track 👌🏻.

Where has that been published?

Well that was boring! BV deserved to win tonight without a doubt how we won I just don't know. KK poor again for a number 1 with no win in 5 heats! And a caption that can't seem to look for his team mate! Like last week in heat 15 with Brady he pushed Klindt out on bends 1&2 in heat 12. Highlight being Brady and James rode very well. 2 weeks running now the crowd has been poor! That Darcy meeting has done some damage.

Congrats to KL! Well deserved and good to see a young Brit battling through the field.

The obvious choice will be Lewis Kerr to replace Kyle until fully fit.

That's very harsh on the riders dropped! Equipment and suits all sorted I would have thought.

Welcome to Volvo as main sponsors of Poole, great new addition to the 'sponsor family' at Poole.

Why wasn't Jack on the panel last night as advertised?

To bring in the next generation of fans ALL clubs should offer free admission to all under 16's and £5 upto 16-18. All clubs need to wake up and realise the fan base is ageing and not many new young supporters are watching.
