No fault of either club just a series of poor decisions and organising has made this meaningless, this situation should never be allowed to happen again. Hopefully it wont... Especially as they have nearly 70 years to plan it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates will need to replace Thompson who’s in the U19 at Brum so maybe Complin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Looking forward to this. Should have taken place last year but ran out of time with the final fiasco at Leicester. Should be a cracking fixture and just because Glasgow pulled out due to lack of funds means little. While other teams shut shop weeks ago Poole continue to ride every week which is great. Hope Leicester put out s competitive team and the racing is as good as last week. Harris likely I should think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to say it doesn't take much to beat Poole at the moment! Will I have to eat my words? All will be revealed in due course!

Steve Shovlar Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Two well balanced teams though i know nothing about butcher. Leicester looking a bit stronger and Harris loves the Poole track. Will pirates lift our second trophy of the season? Should be a good night of racing weather permitting.

poole keith Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Please let's not try and build this into something it definitely isn't,it's an end of season challenge nothing more.probably 80% of fans I spoke with on sat thought it was meaningless, unfortunately there are a few regular posters on here whose posts are totally unrepresentative of the majority of poole fans.Weve had a good season and am very confident that a super competitive team will be assembled for next season (cooks would be top of shopping list of every other team in the league) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Poole keith,restored my faith in humanity, agree it's meaningless and you will see a completely different bomber than when he was riding for his team in a meaningful match,8 doubt he will even get double figures but then again he is a racer. Poole riders probably on cash incentives in a desperate effort to get them to put in a performance. Poole will still be a strong team next season with 3 hleaders in Lawson and the 2 cooks with hagon and Perry at 6and 7,who are probably the best 2pters available atm.

Steve Shovlar Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 PooleKeith, you might not be arsed to support the final, but many still do. If you are not bothered so be it, but it’s the final of a competition that was run with all teams involved and is rightly going to be run to its conclusion, albeit late. Most slagging it off have no interest other than to put the boot in, while their teams packed up for the season in some cases many weeks ago. Poole are still running with big crowds attending. Be sure many do not share your view and another big crowd will be present on Wednesday, weather permitting, in the hope of seeing Pirates lift our second trophy of the season. Only then should we go into the winter and start discussing who will or will not ride for Poole in 2024. It says something when Poole fans feel disappointed this year, when in truth we have made every team final available. It shows the level we expect and hold ourselves to.

Two nasty falls on Saturday and he probably should have sat the remainder of the season out. Hopefully he will be back for us next season. Loads of potential there.

HGould Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 I must get down the Clinic. I've spent all day reading this thread wondering whats all the fuss about a challenge match for a cup sponsored by a kids iced drink they suck. So it's not the Jubbley Cup, no free iced drinks then Doh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
