I think the face masks is like the shops situation, they kind want you to wear one but it isn't a rule any more. Definitely can pay on the gate, the club have put on twitter that you can. Poole Pirates Speedway (@poolespeedway) / Twitter Thanks Lisa... Need to update their website then... A BIG selling point is PATG and No Masks anymore I would think to many. ..

Well, what I did was look at the crowd photos from last home meeting and didn't look like people were wearing face masks! I'd prob take one just in case as some people can get a bit anxious if you are not wearing one. But as I say I don't think it's a 'rule' anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of speedway fans currently within a couple of hours travel I would think that may fancy a trip that they wouldn't take if at home several hundred miles away... Personally don't use twitter but do use official websites as they should always be up to date and accurate... Looking at quite a few websites some appear a fair few weeks out of date... Making our way over this afternoon and looking forward to a good night's entertainment... Come on you Pirons, or is it Liates....? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas is really good at Poole or has been when we were in top league, Morris is good at Poole, ditto for Hans and Kyle a former rider should be good for 7 points or so. If we are going to win I'd say 4-6 points. Actually say whoever wins it will be within 6 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get yourself on Twitter for up to the minute information, not just from the clubs but also the riders who can often give you a better idea of whether a match is going to be on and what the line-ups are going to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just got back. Great to see things looking like normal. Good crowd, great atmosphere and a Dominant Pirates win over the favourites for the league title. Don’t somehow think Leicester wil be choosing us if they finish top and have the choice. (Should we make top 4) A 40 mile an hour wind all day did it’s best to ruin the track surface but the track staff put plenty of water down to keep the dust away until the final couple of races. Poole heat leaders far too dominant and the only heat advantage for the lions was in heat 14 when Neilsen fell on bend two, gifting a 2-4. Other than that it was damage limitation all the way but in truth Leicester were no threat and never close to challenging for a losers point. For Poole Schlein was excellent. Kemp took a surprise heat win. Worrall was excellent until heat 15 when missing the start in slick, dry conditions. Neilsen was solid and dropped 2 points with a silly fall. King was excellent and had a couple of very tough battles with Hans. Rider of the night. Wright did much better than yesterday. Hume battled but had a fall in his last by the starting gate trying to make a pass with his bike somersaulting over the finish line. Got up a bit sore but bike a bit bent. For Leicester Hans came alive and the bit between his teeth in the second half of the meeting. Dan Thompson didn’t really do much. Neither did Nick Morris to be honest. Not close to winning a race. Gated in one and S Glenn went past him on the back straight like he was standing still. Howarth battled and gated in heat 14 to win it. Douglas gated and was Gone or missed it and ran two lasts. Kennedy did ok but was a bit wobbly. Hard coming in mid season. Joe Thompson found it too much for the lad. Better days ahead I am sure. Well done to the handful of Lions fans who made the trip down to Wimborne Road. I hope they enjoyed the meeting even though they lost. On another not the music after each race is much improved and gets the crowd going. Keep it up. Danny Ford said after the meeting there should be an announcement on the number two in the next week or so, but they are not going to say who it is until it’s all a definite and the rider can take his place. No idea who it is. Next stop is Scunthorpe on Friday. A very tough fixture for the depleted Pirates but they will give it their best shot. Pirates remain in 6th place, one point behind Leicester with 3 meetings in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopite92 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 A good win for the Pirates, with some sharp starting in heats 1-5 building up an advantage the Lions couldn’t claw back. Hopefully Hume is ok after his back flip in heat 12. Good to see Nielsen get up unscathed after hitting the bump/hole on bend 1 in heat 14.
