Poole Pirates Speedway Website (Official) (poole-speedway.com)

The Wessex Marine Pirates will need to be on their 'A' games when they travel to Teesside on Saturday, defending a small, but valuable, six point lead as they seek to secure a place in the BSN Final.
 

It is a meeting that promises a great deal with the Steve Worrall and Richard Lawson both accomplished scorers around the ECCO Arena and both Pirate reserves Kyle Newman and Adam Roynon having had spells there last season.

Poole boss Danny Ford admitted to being "relieved" that the his charges were able to secure the advantage saying "we always knew it was going to be tough. One look at their side and it was clear they were going to make things as difficult as they could, but our lads dug in really deep at the end and we will now go to theirs with the plan of taking the tie to them. Just as they had riders who enjoy riding our track so we have a side that shouldn't have too many fears about riding there and this has all the making of a being an epic conclusion to the semi-final. We want to be in that final, you need to be there to have a chance of picking up the trophy and we love doing that at Poole so I have no doubt that our lads will give it their all as they seek to finish the job."

Once again the Pirates will be operating rider replacement for Anders Rowe, as he misses Saturday's trip due to a clash with his FIM SGP2 qualifier, whilst the Bears have booked a guest in place of their number one Erik Riss, with another top ECCO Arena performer Lewis Kerr being called up, whilst the Pirates will also have a further personnel change, with  locally based, former world champion and club captain Gary Havelock taking on the team manager duties for this Northern based fixture.

The successful side from Saturday's meeting will face the winners of the other semi-final which concludes on Friday night, when Glasgow, holding a twelve point lead from the first leg, stage their home fixture against Scunthorpe.

Saturday's teams:
Redcar - 1 Lewis Kerr (Guest) 2 Danyon Hume 3 Charles Wright (Capt) 4 Connor Bailey 5 Danny King 6 Jason Edwards 7 Jake Mulford Team manager Gavin Parr
Poole - 1 Steve Worrall (Capt) 2 Rider Replacement 3 Ben Cook 4 Zach Cook 5 Richard Lawson 6 Kyle Newman 7 Adam Roynon Team manager Gary Havelock

Good night for Poole riders in the Prem, Ben and Steve got 9, Zach 7 and Richard 14+1. So, good form going into Saturday can only help.

I nearly did Wright's but completely forgot that Kerr is riding on Saturday! 

[rearingtogo]

This is set up to be a cracker of a meeting

That's because there not Poole riders

This is tough to call, could be a superheat

[Bagpuss]

I think it will be a two point win either way and consequently Poole will go through, just.

Not a replay? (I don't know, which is why I ask).

I'm 99.999% certain all draws, wether in the night or on aggregate lead to a superheat.

They got rid of KO Cup replays a few years back due to too many fixtures, there's no reason for that these days though! (Yes I know this isn't a cup match)

Poole scored 48 and 50 on their last 2 visits to Redcar, so still are favourites to go through.

If the Bears can win on the night that’ll be a good result.

For me. The Cook brother's are the key to our fate. Both scored double figures in the cup meeting last year. Edwards had a shocker in that meeting, as did serial big scorer at Redcar. Kemp. The whole team need to perform. Mulford needs to score his first home points.

Not putting pressure  on Mulford then eh? He’s a 2 point average rider and up against two former Bears and veterans for goodness sake and that’s just in heat 2!
It’s down to ALL the Bears and the guest being on top form , from heat one, something which is not a regular occurrence at home but they are capable of it. Poole ride Redcar as well , if not better , than their own track so it’s going to be a very tough one for the Bears.

Why is me stating that Mulford scoring, putting pressure on him. He won heat 4 at Birmingham, beat Roynon on Wednesday. He needs to start scoring at his home track. That is not being critical.

Those scores are with Danny in our team so might be slightly different. Although Lawson and Zach have guested a few times at Redcar this season, so that will help.

But with Zach being on Charles' latest list of 'riders I have a problem with..' could be extra interesting!

To be fair I don’t think he’s a new addition as he had a “disagreement” with him at Plymouth in 2021 I seem to remember.

Every team would be better with a Charles Wright in it in my opinion, proper racer and always gives 100%.

Agree but discussing BV Vs Wolves....

Wright is a clown. Could’ve got himself and cook hurt there. Bordering on dangerous the way he rides at times almost desperation.

Didn’t see the incident so can’t comment apart from saying that someone calling themselves Mr Blobby calling someone else a clown seems quite ironic.
