Sure all good things come to an end, ask Man city tonight.., eventually, but you have to make the most of them while its there. And while Matt Neil and Gordon are at the helm , it wont be anytime soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 17 hours ago, Pirates Of Poole said: How have half the Poole team ridden more than Martin when your clearly state the track has been 'altered' it will be new for the whole Poole team! That's a very good point. And it's evident then that Leicester have no home track advantage as was previously mentioned. 16 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: Stevebrum is doing a Gavan. When Leicester win, which is more than likely, both will come on here and say Poole chocked. Not at all, your point that Leicester have home advantage is complete nonsense. A new reshaped track disproves your theory. 12 hours ago, Starman2006 said: Read Stevethelion's post mate. he has it right. We all agree then that Leicester have no home track advantage as it's a new reshaped track. Poole to win with comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I think Leicester will win, but Poole will sneak a losing bonus point, perhaps 48-42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Probably as good as time as ever, for any team to be pitched against Poole. Once they are dialled in, it would be a formality. Still think this will be a walk in the park, with the result secured by heat 13. Poole are that strong. 40-50 at least..,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 This team could potentially do what Ipswich did in 1998, who of course had the sports first proper ringer in Tomasz Gollob. Can't see anybody getting anywhere near Poole at WR and its going to take a very, very good side on top of their game to stop them winning away matches. Certainly shouldn't be a reflection on any team how they fare against the Pirates and a much better gauge will be their other matches as the rest of the league looks pretty evenly matched. 39-51.

g13webb Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Such is the strength of this Poole side, it has ridiculed the league as a competition. In there blinded wisdom of allowing out of date averages, the BSPA has all but destroyed the equality a league needs to be respectable. My plan for the coming season is to accept Poole's dominance and forget about them. In my mind the competition is about the remaining 7 teams. These are all of a similar standard where the results will be based on the racing seen on the track and not some out of date ruling that only provides loopholes for those looking to pull a fast one.. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 If on i think it will be a very close home win it will be very interesting to see how this Poole team beds in.On the forum there seems to be two lines of thought on how the Pirates will fare this year 1/ some feel there are question marks in the team 2/ Poole will steamroller everybody not so sure myself they will be an exciting team to watch.I think if they bring Smektala in in June would he be a 5 ? that would seal it for the Pirates a real talent it would be great to see him ride over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it looks like its all gone Pete Tong yet again. Met office shows light rain late afternoon getting heavier as the evening progresses.

All clubs have the same chance to sign riders as any other clubs if they chose not to do so for whatever reason that’s up to them it’s not Poole fault that rider want to ride for them surely? ask any young footballers that doesn’t want to play for Man United for instance. I’m perhaps missing something but are Poole really that much stronger than the rest of the league ? as for someone saying they could do an Ipswich what they did in 98 I’d be amazed if they did - yes Poole have a good side as they do most years I’d expect nothing less . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
