Poole Pirates Vs Scunthorpe Scorpions 18th August


Recommended Posts

Surely the all conquering Poole Pirates hit 70 pts like some predicted , all 3 of there heat leaders must have got maximums as expected . The opposition had a 6 pt guest riding at number 1 , a guest reserve and rider replacement for there 2nd heat leader   . Oh how Poole fans think there going to waltz this league  , we’ll take it from me once they have to use all 7 riders from Friday they will find it tougher as there guest riders for there lower end riders have been very good . Really hope  the Pirates septet fail in the conclusion to the season

As easy as expected but thank god a couple of the opposition put up a fight. Blown out of the water in the first 5 heats this was all over as a contest. A good crowd turned up and we’re treated at first to an under watered track. This was rectified after heat 4. But the starts were not even with advantage to gate 2 all night. 8 heat wins. From this gate.

For Scunthorpe Nicol was an excellent guest. His first ever visit to Poole but scored a very good 11 from 6 rides. Palin the next highest with 7 from 6. Interesting that the best two scorers were guests.

For Poole King only dropped one point as did Schlein. All riders did well with the exception of Bowtell who won heat 1 but struggled thereafter. The bigger news was the return of Ben Cook who looked rusty in his first two rides but brilliant in his last two as he got dialled in. With Ben Basso joining the team in the number two berth from herein it looks very ominous for the other clubs in the league. For the first time in ages Pirates will be at full strength.

A tough meeting at Redcar on Friday before entertaining Newcastle next Wednesday. Bring it on!

1. Who has predicted 70? Haven't read that anywhere.

2. Not one Poole fan has said we are going to 'waltz' the league.

3. Guests have been good, only thing that is truthful in that post!
