Shaleshifter Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I can't start this thread without a mention about Bob Cole After hearing the sad news today of the passing away of Bob on Saturday it does make you think about life and how precious life is. The meeting on Wednesday is quite poignant as I know Bob was based down in Devon for a number of years very close to Plymouth and the Speedway. He was still going down to the Coluesium on Tuesday evening's on a regular basis although still a committed Pirates supporter. Anyway the show must still go on but it will be a sad evening when i Iook behind me and see his empty seat. The other thing making it a little sad is if fit it will be Bjarne Pedersen's last ever meeting at Wimborne Road before he retires. Let's hope for a great evening's racing and 3 points for the Pirates. Thoughts?

Pirates Of Poole Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Not sure who is guesting at number 6 for Poole, but would guess it’s Zach Cook. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine. Plymouth can get a guest in then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Shame Birmingham ride on Weds as Jack Thomas would have been the ideal guest. Looking at the averages and if I have read them correctly: Bickley, Rowe, Kemp, Bailey, Morley, Kennedy and Josh Mcdonald. I excluded Plymouth, Birmingham and Redcar as they are also riding.

SteveLyric2 Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 So we've used Kyle Bickley at 2 previously so for me its a no brainer to use him at 6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he does live at the complete other end of the country, and so may not want to do a 14 odd hour round trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Head Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 So with Middlo away playing golf in Tenerife, Havvy takes charge of the Pirates for this one. Advantage Gladiators. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely closer than last time! Havvy just not as tactically aware as other managers. But at home it should be fine. No one should need to be taken out of a ride. I think it shows up more in away meetings as some riders will be good and some might have an off night. He wouldn't necessarily bring a reserve out if a top 5 rider was struggling a bit. But he was better last away meeting he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he has highest average unless it's Bjarne. See if he pulls out of the Plymouth Individual tomorrow or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Ben Barker gets a run out, seems close to the club and has basically signed for them next season already... Nice to see a Diamond riding in an actually competitive team too... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
