Starke should have been rxc two mibs. Liad of rubbish pretending they named a different rider. We all heard who cami Brown picked. 

The only thing I can think of is that Starke didn’t qualify under the heat 15 rules and that was the only way to get him in the heat? Because you can put a reserve in heat 15  if the originally nominated rider is excluded I think - I’m sure that happened once last year?

Congratulations to Poole much too good for us tonight and last Wednesday.

Another season and sadly it departed with a feeble whimper tonight , sadly when it came to the business end we were simply not good enough.

We certainly like an exclusion even with a 10 point deficit this team would be incapable of overturning that never mind 30 points.

Major rethink on how we build our team for next season.

Would you like the whole Poole team next time, rather than just the two Poole riders? ;) Unless you are moving up of course!

Cook not even bothering his arse coming out for heat 15, get him tae f*ck.

I have a feeling we won’t see Cook at Ashfield next season.

We would have the uncanny knack of turning a good Poole team this year into a poor Glasgow team next year.

There just seems something is not right just now and I can’t put my finger on it.

 

Apologies double quoted my reply.

Hopefully Jubilee Cup will be one off final at a neutral venue as originally planned. 

Oxford would fit the bill if Sheffield can't fit it in. 

Re Presentations, guess they have to get donne b4 cry baby Brennan gets his van loaded again and leaves his team mates to it. 

Wouldn't be surprised if they flogged him to BV. 

Stupid  comment,he’s just been banged on the head with a bike.Get a grip.

Fair play to Poole. Much the better team over the two legs. Hope they win the final.

The match itself was a bit rubbish. Not a lot of racing - probably more in heat 15 than the rest of the meeting. Personally, I think it’s just too late in the year and getting too cold. I live in hope things will be settled earlier next season.

:o

As Danny King has just said, it’s speedway and losing Tom Brennan possibly cost Glasgow a win but Poole were right up for it from the start. Havvy said first two heat decisions fired Pirates up to win tonight.

Thought Ben and Zach Cook were both excellent. Zach’s pass of Craig Cook was brilliant and both rode great. Drew improved as the meeting went on. Other top three all did their job.

Glasgow unlucky to be missing Hume and Ostergaard, though the latter was a choice I believe. 

The difference between the teams was Stark(E) Pun intended. The Poole team just wanted it more and it showed from the 1st heat to the 30th.

Favourites for the title and league toppers Leicester will have to be on their best form to win the title. Obviously they are more than capable and the final should be an absolute thriller. Poole on 19th with Leicester on the 22nd? Bring it on!

Poole are a juggernaut at present, unstoppable and all fit and well. I do think they've scheduled the fixtures well too, always on the go and never any huge gaps in the fixtures for them, unlike a lot of the opposition, glasgows lack of meetings  has been ridiculous

Overall the much anticipated Play-Offs in both leagues have been disappointing this year for various reasons.  Hope the Finals are a bit closer.   Tigers were beaten before they started tonight anyway - maybe some Allied taxis will be required before next year ?    Really thought they would have done a lot better than that though.   Poor show over both legs hard to take for fans.

I have never known Poole have a long gap between meetings. Think three weeks once a few seasons ago with a gap then rainoff. Never, ever 7 weeks. Club isn’t run like that.

No meeting this week though with Redcar in the K O Cup next on the 12th Oct. Guessing following week for the final.

We have no excuses we didn’t perform, and Poole did, out of this year's team I would keep Danyon, Tom, and Ben but I don’t think Basso will be back.

Connor needs a season away ok at home but not great away. Build around Hume and Brennan and take it from there.

Hope not. Bournemouth are at home to Southampton on the 19th. Might affect the attendance going head to head with the south coast derby.

I think this is a massive factor. Completing all your fixtures at the beginning of August and then trying to be competitive in the Play Offs in late September is almost impossible. One wonders if Leicester will be in a similar boat for the final.
