Steve Shovlar Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 With Pirates now up to second in the league after our win at Newcastle yesterday, we move on to Wednesday and the visit of Redcar to Wimborne Road. Weather looks settled and warm and it might be the chance to see Poole go top of the league, depending on the Kent v Glasgow meeting tomorrow. Rumour has it we will see the return of big hitting reserve Ben Cook after his leg injury. Poole. Schlien Guest Worrall Neilsen King Cook tbc Hume. Redcar ? Should be 3 points but no complacency.

SteveLyric2 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Poole's choice of guest at number 2 is even more restricted now. It can't be Bickley again as he guested last Wednesday. Kemp's average has now gone above 3.75, so it looks like it'll have to be a 'Rising Star'?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Kent would love to have another crack at Glasgow with their improved team but that match took place a few weeks ago sadly - Tomorrow’s visitors are Edinburgh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poole keith Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 pretty sure when they shut the greyhounds they only retained two full time staff at the stadium dave phoebe deputy manager and a lady in the office (plus part timers in the car park)damm sure those duties could be covered easily also damm sure stadia uk wouldnt make any effort to help speedway,horrible firm run by horrible people 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray c Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) perhaps a little consideration for those who tested positive with covid or is that to much to ask. ps its only a speedway meeting which can be run at a later date Edited August 9, 2021 by ray c 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Presumably the Stadia UK Caretaker Manager (Dave) is the official Licensed Premises Supervisor - all large venues holding public events with alcohol must have one - so without him/her on site the stadium cannot operate. Its unusual for a large venue to only have one LPS but as Stadia UK laid off all except a couple of staff then I guess its to be expected.

Mike0310 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Feel sorry for Poole on this one not nice for them and obviously the people who may have this wicked virus but at least it will be re run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
