Poole Pirates Vs Plymouth Gladiators 8th September


Recommended Posts

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?

So with Middlo away playing golf in Tenerife, Havvy takes charge of the Pirates for this one. Advantage Gladiators.

Nah, even Havvy can't mess this up!  Be a lot closer than the last time Plymouth were down though. Be the closest meeting we have had since Edinburgh were down.

I have no doubt Poole will win but I hope it’s closer than last time,is havvy really that bad and why?

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.
