Steve Shovlar Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 BT’s love affair with the champs continues this Monday with the Pirates visit to Kings Lynn. My guess is the viewing figures are higher when Poole are on TV. We are on a 5 meeting winning streak and showing signs of good confidence. Kings Lynn were dispatched fairly easily last night and will certainly be out for revenge. Poole will be hoping Brady Kurtz is fit to ride and will have to find two guests at reserve to replace Covatti, who will be missed on his current form, and Busk Jakobsen who looks to be suffering from appendicitis and had an aborted return to the team last night. Question marks over Jorgensen for Lynn who pulled out last night for no obvious reason. Certainly not an on track issue. Hopefully a good meeting. We have no real answer to Lambert and Cook and they could get Lynn over the line. Think a point is achievable, possibly more. Pirates have to hit the track running and not allow Lynn to build ip an early lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing really that they are so fond of an unprofessional looking rag bag outfit. Says much about the sports standing though I suppose. Must have been a real eye opener when the smart looking Panthers turned up at Wimborne Road for the win 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uluru Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Three guests and rider-replacement for Pirates? Not a good advertisement for speedway on TV, I'm thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT would show us every week if they could. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Kelvin will hopefully give the track a good look over. And let’s face it when the ruts appear again the camera won’t lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe not. I can put up with Poole so much, but not that much. If your comment had come from a non-Poole supporter it would have carried more weight IMO. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I know for a fact that BT are extremely pleased with all their speedway viewing figures. Hopefully they put some money where their mouth is as the contract negotiations for 2020 and beyond are supposed to be concluded by end August!!! In the meantime on Monday viewers will have to view r/r for Kurtz with Summers Wells and Newman filling the minor places.- or so it is rumoured?!

mickthemuppet Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Wrong match to show on Monday as a much better meeting is Belle Vue v Ipswich and not so many guests (or maybe none) to explain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see Kyle ride for us again but don't suppose he will get many points. Edited July 5, 2019 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 R/R for Jorgensen would be a massive blow so hopefully his shoulder is better by Monday. Will be close, but needs to go our way if we still want to be in the hunt for 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 If the guests are correct we will lose heavily, even Lambo will get points with Newman in the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Belle Vue meeting will be far superior to anything served at King's Lynn regardless of opposition. The only way to make King's Lynn home matches remotely exciting is a few crashes, punch-ups and ranting and raving during interviews. As for racing it's certain FTG racing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
