Anything less than two 50-40 victories and Poole are going to struggle against the good teams. I think to expect Poole to win 50-40 at Somerset is asking a lot early season tbh.They might just scrape an away win.At Poole a ten point win for the Pirates would be a bad result for me.

As i said, if everybody turns up we will win this over two legs on a tight riene. But, we will not be complacent about it. Thats not Neil or Matts way. We all know Gary will have his boys up for this, and we are well aware of that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got the wrong end of the stick; DC2 is a Swindon fan. He’s trying to have a dig at Poole (again, yawn), but in doing so has given Somerset one too.

Ummm, in what world is DC2 a Poole fan??! Definitely not this one, he hates Poole more than Gavan does and is always trolling any Poole thread!

How are Somerset going to hammer us then? No chance of that happening unless there are catastrophic crashes. Poole are a far superior team this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Poole fans are they then? I don't go on about what other teams fans I find arrogant. It's just people who can't debate properly use that as a comeback cos that's all they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I have seen most of the riders from both teams over the last few days. Already mentioned those at Sheffield. Went to Leicester v Somerset last night, should have been Wolves v Poole until it got put back.Difficult to judge on the notorious gate n go track. Doyle: usual self. Got done by Andersen (see footage on BSPA web page). After the race, he almost got t-boned by Newman.Slowing down on the inside, he headed for the pits without looking, rode straight across Kyle, who somehow took avoiding action. Careless move. Missed start in Ht13 and didnt chase for long. Allen, tidy start but faded. Wright solid as ever. Holder one good win, not a lot else. Lawson when he gated looked good, when he didnt, looked very poor. Jeppesen,nothing to speak of, tbh. Wilson-Dean, very aggressive couple of 1st turns, especially shoving Andersen out of the way.Not eay to do, but then faded. Dont underestimate this one! Former Pirates: Andersen was superb, looking really sharp. Newman rode steadily for his points. Unlucky to lose steel shoe as he was looking to split the Rebels pair in Ht12.

Lets hope that the only bit of bad luck Kyle gets this season, he needs a clear injury free season that will help his cause and form no end.

I disagree about Doyle in heat 13 he battled with Vaculik right until the end. The rest I agree with pretty much, adding on to Jeppesen I thought he was on the pace on a track he has never seen. Will be a decent reserve. As you said pretty much a gate and go track (although still an ok meeting tbf) so didn't suit the Rebels. Could struggle at Rye and Wolves this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there an 'incentive' for Somerset fans travelling on the coach to Poole that they get a free programme or something like that?
