Shaleshifter Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 On Wednesday the Pirates welcome the Redcar Bears to Wimborne Road for a first vs 2nd in the league. The Bears have strengthn'd up by signing Lewis kerr and have quite a strong looking top three that includes Charles Wright and Michael-Palm-Toff. Add in Jake Allen as a second string then they do pose a threat. Their only weakness appears to be at reserve and James Sargeant who rides at No 2 in the team Poole will need to at their best to see off the Bears. They will be tough to beat but I would like to think that being at home we should have enough fire power to win. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 6 of their riders know the Poole track only Kingsley who hasn't. I would say Poole by 6-8 or 12 if one of their HL has a below par night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Will Schlein be back? Also will depend who lines up at number 6. Fingers crossed Stefan will make a comeback later this month, we are missing him massively.

LisaColette Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Pretty sure his 10 days will be up by then. Unless he has had any new symptoms and has to do another 10 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Also depends on whether Ben Basso has recovered? He hit his head and ribs quite heavily in Wednesday's Danish Final crash!! We have enough guest options for Number 6 who have decent experience of the Poole track, but I still think it'll be a close one, which unfortunately I shall be viewing from behind the glass in the hospitality area rather than my usual seat in the grandstand.

According to a Leicester fan he's banned for 7 days for a none speedway related illness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 If he'd been suspended then he wouldn't have had the r/r facilty granted last night at Leicester. The club are hopeful he will be ok for Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This rule is still stupid! You will either getting riders riding whilst ill (depending on what it is) or riders will say they are injured instead.

Steve Shovlar Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Basso is not ill. He was injured in Denmark. We really missed him last night as track conditions would have suited him perfectly. Probably a Pirates win should he have ridden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bang your head you can be sick after, so then which does it come under? Not saying that this has happened, but possible for both?

Steve Shovlar Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 How many times does it need saying that he fell in the Danish Playoff Final and hurt himself. The info is online if you wish to look for it. We would have been far better with him riding than not. Even if he had a poor meeting it would be practice incase we meet in the playoffs. Chances are he would have done very well around there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that this has happened, but possible for both? It's all determined by whether it's a "speedway related injury" or not, not really illness. Sick notes are required! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Where did Basso being sick come from? The Leicester announcer? Could have been told Basso isn’t riding because he is not well, after coming off in Denmark. Announced as Basso missing as he is not well. Fingers crossed he is back for Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf they would have got it from the texter, who I am assuming heard it being announced at the stadium. Also another poster said it was announced at the stadium too. Anyway it seems Rory is okay to ride on Weds. So just one or two down. Any news on who is guesting at reserve?
