Well done Leicester, be interesting to see if an 8 point lead is enough. Could still go either way! Why we still seem to struggle after H12 away from home I'll never know. What happens after H12 but before H13??!

Makes our home meeting tasty:t:

Just got back to Poole at 11.30 so we’ll done for getting the meeting on in good time.

better than average meeting at Leicester with some passing, albeit 6 inches from the fence, or if you are Andersen up the inside. A good crowd and plenty of Poole fans made the trip.

Well done to Ben Cook for a very good score on his first ever visit. Very impressive.

As usual Pirates flop at the end of away meetings and this time have given up an 8 point lead. After being on the wrong end of a 5-1 in heat 13 when in 1 and 3, heat 15 saw Poole chose 1 and 3 again against the same two Leicester riders! Why on Earth give them the same gates and almost the same result as 2 heats earlier? Made no sense to me and 2 and 4 were the better gates. Worral off 2 and King off 4 would have been better. Did the riders want 1 and 3?

So nicely poised. 8 points to make up and no tacs allowed. Think it’s advantage Poole in a couple of weeks time.

I hope Ben Basso hasn't got concussion from his crash in Denmark on Wednesday. He not only banged his ribs but his head also. Concussion means a 9 day absence from racing these days I believe?!

I understand that Basso has a non Speedway related illness and as no medical note was provided he now is suspended for 7 days

There seems to be conflicting reports. Anyone I speak to that is connected to the club says he got injured in Denmark. The updater from speedway updates said he was ill.
