Wednesday 7th September - play off - Poole v Plymouth


Recommended Posts

I’ve sat back and observed what’s been said on this thread and similar things sad on the one for last night and it’s a shame really. Both clubs have had excellent season but there’s so much animosity.

I didn’t comment on the Gladiators side tonight because I just wanted all the riders to get back safe. I was relieved that we were even able to get 6 riders let alone their ability! It’s a shame tonight’s meeting is now off. I know there were quite a few Gladiator’s who were either already in Poole or well on their way there. These things happen unfortunately and I hope they all get home safely, same goes for the Pirate fans who are travelling around in that horrible weather.

Time to rest up and get ready for next Tuesday, sadly I’ll be missing it due to an already arranged prior engagement at Argyle v Oxford United although, the seven day forecast leaves a lot to be desired once again. Let’s see what the weekend brings us.

Complete disregard for the supporters, early call off was a no brainer if you looked at the forecast, to focused on beating a depleted Plymouth team. Arrogance personified definitely his fathers son. Hope it's cost the club a few quid aswell. Karma is a wonderful thing,nearly as good as hindsight. I can't stop smiling. :rofl:

Be careful what you say on the barker situation as you certainly do not no the facts what your saying is slanderous and I hope Ben reads it and after tomorrow’s appeal I hope he gets on to you  about your post and if he is not aware I’m sure plenty of people will make him aware good luck serious error of judgement on the post .

Have edited as I certainly didn't mean to cause any offence.  Was just a thoughtless turn of phrase, so apologies to all especially Ben.

They are going against the football? Weather forecast on the met office site is just for light showers. So should be okay at the moment. So just got to wait for news on guests and whether Barker will be riding?

I thought it desperately had to be run tonight as Poole had no spare dates..... oh no they have one next Wednesday 

I guess they were planning to play Leicester in the KOC semi final next Wednesday but the play offs take priority

Yeah so next Tuesday is likely to be a 12,000+ crowd at the Football but I’d still be confident if the weather holds out there’ll be a good crowd at the Colosseum just sadly I won’t be there :(

Hans should be back, Nicholls will be utilised I’d imagine then it all depends on the barker situation, find out tomorrow I guess

After tonight’s fiasco and Poole’s desperation to run I would imagine the price of staying at fords chateau might be going up to pay for the wasted expenses incurred by all.including the stadium rent. That is tongue in cheek by the way.

Can't find any record of Leon guesting for Plymouth away to Poole this year at all, maybe you could elaborate?

Apologies,I was responding to the Post that Poole and Ply mouth are too far for Northern riders.Flint guested for Redcar at Plymouth last week.( I though he was guesting for Plymouth)
