Poole Pirates Vs Swindon Robins 07/09/15 (rearanged Fixture)

@nedpayne_echo: Concern for Poole Pirates asset Darcy Ward after Poland crash http://t.co/Hc6FHyFKQY http://t.co/0Fbn50aB5t

 

Very concerning news with regards to Ward

 

Surely with no Magic, Ward, Middlo and now no Holder, this fixture should be postponed.

Can imagine if news is bad after operation the riders won't be in the right mind set anyway

In some ways I was hoping for our first meeting back to be against Swindon. Maybe I'm just being a soppy old git, but Darcy has a special connection to both our clubs and it would've been nice to have our supporters come together.

 

Agree with your sentiments GoFast...

 

I'd like a Poole V Swindon PO Final and for the result to be a draw with no runoff's so both clubs can share in tribute to Darcy.. :t:

 

I am not particularly a fan of his but would love to see him back on a bike as he is the most talented rider I have ever seen..

 

He has done a brilliant job for the Robins and for that I thank him and I would love to see him achieve all that he can in the sport... :t:

 

Get well soon Darcy... :t::t:

Tonight could be a rehersal for the playoff final with the Pirates clear in first position. Not taking anything away from our rivals.

The results tonight will determine who Poole will select to face in the semi finals with Belle Vue still in the mix the Pirates dont have a good track record against the Aces in 2015. Hopefully all will be sorted after tonights meetings.

I thought the same.

I don't think Swindon are as strong now with Kildemand instead of Ward and also with Zengi as a heat leader instead of second string.

If Hans hadn't fell then bees would have only lost at the abbey by 4 and that was with King, Howarth & JK missing. They would have all scored more than the replacements did.

I think Poole could beat Swindon at the Abbey and then on their last visit to Poole they were thrashed. Swindon also have the weakest reserve pairing on paper.

 

Coventry are unpredictable at the moment. Been strong all year but recently had a dip. Harris is finding great form and Hans seems to be scoring better. Howarth knows Pooles track well. We have the reserve most likely to challenge Newman from the draft. However a lot will depend on what happens with JK replacement.

Coventry & Poole ride each other's tracks well.

 

Belle Vue seems to be a track Poole struggle on a bit, although I think Poole would do enough at home. However there's a question mark over Zagar now.

 

Hard to tell who will face who

Swindon will be looking to get something tonight.

Prediction 58-32

I personally hope that the play-off teams aren't confirmed until after Wednesday's meetings!! :wink:

 

MF seems in no particular rush to choose the semi-final opponents - until all teams' 1-7s are confirmed!!!!

 

ps I hope I can get closer to the right result than I did v KL - so here goes 48-42 (unless both teams agree a 43-43 draw!) DW#43
