Steve Shovlar Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Pirates welcome Birmingham to Wimborne Road on Wednesday for this Championship encounter. Pirates will welcome the return of Stefan Neilsen, who in my opinion did enough to earn himself a place in the team this season, but such is the way of the sport. Looking at the Brummies, I can’t see anything other than Pirates handing out a bit of a pasting. The loss of Auty doesn’t help, but he has never really done anything of note at Poole. R/R will give Adam Ellis an extra ride, but sorry to say other than that, where’s his support? Vissing might score a few but it will be difficult for the others. Could well be six ride Ellis v Poole here. 62-28ish. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Not travelling down for this one, financial layout sadly not worth it as much as I'm a Pirates fan the opposition won't be competitive at Wimborne Road. Watched Brummies at Leicester, my local track, annihilation is an under statement! Birmingham did av a good following at Leicester tho which was great to see but whether that keeps up remains to be seen. Pirates 63-27 me thinks Edited April 23, 2022 by Turnip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware that they don't show the race result on screen just progressive scores (unless they are going to change that on Weds!). Although whoever is commentating( normally Scott Mitchell) will still say it and sometimes you can hear Nij announcing it in the background!

I should be fine, as used to watching it at other tracks and texting through, can always use Poole Twitter to confirm updates too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Do we know how Drew is? Has he been riding abroad since Weds? As Danny King said he was in a bit of pain after his crash at Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Danny King said he was in a bit of pain after his crash at Oxford. Presumably ok as he's declared in the Pirates line-up for Wednesday. Also he's due to receive £500 (as is Nathan) from the Poole R.E.F. (Riders Equipment Fund)! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on the train to Oxford last week to watch Poole, Coventry & Reading were amongst other stops for the train.......one day I thought it would be great getting off the train again for sum speedway at those venues. Have a great time down at Wimborne Road, superb race track. Edited April 26, 2022 by Turnip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
