If they gate, we may get close, but I'd still expect Poole by 10-12 tomorrow and by 20+ at Wimborne. Not sure about that. Though bet Leon is hoping it isn't the same ref as when Berwick came down! Summer's is pretty good at Poole even if he doesn't gate, 9 times out of 10 he makes the Poole riders work for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the year that Micky Dyer put almost 4 points onto his average. Never seen again after that season. Mikkel Bech and Rasmus Jenson were in the Devils line up.

Leon has had good meetings at Poole and he seems on good form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally good for double figures. Prob would have got that for Berwick too if it wasn't for the ref's harsh decision. Although maybe we shouldn't rely on all 4 back all the time! IDK.

A bit harsh but he does rely on his gating which he is good at.Seen him enough to say that.Wouldn’t say he gives up but not prolific passer.

Think Plymouth can win tomorrow night by 6-8 points if they ride to their potential. I am pleased that Plymouth have a team to compete on Wednesday. Flint rode very well earlier this season and scored a sackful. Summers is very very good if he gates. Hans blows hot and cold. Certainly closer than some expect but Poole should, if they ride to their capabilities, qualify for the semi against Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 If it is on I think it will be close, Ben Cook was at reserve last time we were there I think and I feel we are probably stronger with Ben at reserve but Zach should be able to get 6-8 points. If it's a damp track it could be all about gating but hopefully be a good meeting for the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like South West / South are in for a big dollop of rain today and tomorrow but nice and dry and sunny most other places. According to Plymouth website track was perfect yesterday and dry and they have put some covers on parts of the track. Be good for both Teams to get it over and done with and move on.

Mike0310 Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 No one and I mean no one can complain about what Plymouth have done covers on the track the track in perfect condition before they went down obviously they will have to be lifted at some point this afternoon but the promotion have tried there damn hardest to get this on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 So the track was perfect yesterday, covers were put down, and we had a little rain this morning which is now clearing away. Plymouth are so so desperate to get the second leg they call the meeting off when the rest of the day is forecast dry. Are they that inept at getting a race track in rideable order? Pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in East Devon where it's been raining pretty much all morning and forecast to continue for the rest of the day. But don't let the facts get in the way of your hysteria! As if any club would call off a meeting, at considerable financial loss, just to get the second leg at home, especially when it's a foregone conclusion over 2 legs in any case.

No doubt it will mysteriously and against all predictions piss it down in Poole again then tomorrow at 6pm with hundreds stood outside the Gates. Forecast I'm looking at for Devon looks awful all day - especially this afternoon and evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
