With the number 1 spot being crucial in the playoffs, all riders will need to perform 100% or face the playoff league of death come September.

I'm not sure the number 1 spot is as crucial this season.  

As far as Poole are concerned I would suggest they would be confident of the aggregate score over any of the top 5.

So let's just say based on current performance, 

Poole, Oxford, Glasgow, Redcar are top 4, with Scunthorpe and  Birmingham/berwick/Edinburgh pick up the 6th spot.

Who ever finishes in 1st picks the other two teams to go into their playoff league, with the reaming 3 teams going in a league together.

So could be Poole, Scunthorpe and Birmingham

And Glasgow, Oxford and Redcar.

With the winner of each group going to the final.

One of those leagues is going to be an awesome battle, the other maybe not so much.

Think it would have been better for 1st Team to have 1st and 3rd  pick and 2nd Team too have 2nd pick.More even group that way. IMO.

Really looking forward to this one, and more than confident the in-form Bandits can push the Pirates all the way. 
Was meant to be making the journey down but my pal has been off work last couple of days with illness, so will have to settle for the stream!

Good luck Bandits!!

Good positive thoughts again.

And I think anyone with any sense would've chosen the exact same idea.

However the chicken bones didn't land correctly and so this year they've opted for this madness.

I think the most interesting discussion point is likely to be how many times TJ, Flint and former Pirate Schlein can beat current Poole heat leaders Lawson, Worrall and Cook?

That's easy none

Schlein wins heat one!

Must be true then 

He has ridden it enough times to know! I think the first time he would have ridden Poole would have been 2003. So to say it is the best it has been since 2004 is some statement, esp when track record went in 2006! :D

Rory just said Poole track is the best he has seen it since 2004. 'You can race on it..' B)

I will defer judgement until a racer rather than a gater makes that comment …. Certainly racers like Harris and Basso don’t agree

TJ managed to make a pass when he was miles behind at start of one of the races.  But we are talking about this week rather than last week.

Edit - oh look, just seen both Berwick riders make passes in one race.
