Steve Shovlar Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 So we win two trophies this year instead of three. Let’s face it we will win this cup unless something unexpected and dramatic happens. Only 4 points to make up. Yet we treat this season as a failure. Scunthorpe on the other hand were saying before the start of today’s meeting that it was their biggest meeting in years. That’s the difference between what we expect as Poole fans and the reality of other clubs. And that’s meant with no disrespect to the Scorpions who assembled a very good side this year. Of course you are going to get thick morons jumping in trying to mock Poole for not winning every single trophy going, but no club has been anywhere as successful as our fine club in the 21st century. And we all know next year we will do it again, and again Poole will be the team to beat. Another huge crowd expected at Wimborne Road on Wednesday. Douglas will continue his love affair with the Wimborne Road circuit and will be difficult to beat. Kemp will try his best but I don’t believe he will repeat his last visit. Allen and Palm-Toft will battle but we do have the beating of them. Pirates battled for every point today and rode exceptionally well. But for trying to team ride on 5-1’s twice and getting picked off, we could have drawn the meeting. Let’s hope for fair weather, and another trophy in the cabinet. Bring it on!

LisaColette Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 I really hope the Poole riders aren't as complacent as you and FB. Not going to be as easy as you make out. Scunny have scored the most at Poole this season. Bet Simon Lambert is at no2 again lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Current forecast for Wednesday is diabolical. Heavy rain all day. Rest of week not great either. A week today for the second leg? https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcn8db1mu#?date=2023-10-18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Not that I am being argumentative but it does say 'light rain'. But we even need that to stop by start time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Forecast hasn’t improved and it currently looks like Wednesday is going to be a washout. No dry days until the weekend, with Sunday the best bet. As. Wednesday gets closer the forecast will increase in accuracy so tomorrow will give a much more accurate and clearer picture.

Hopefully tomorrow but forecasts have been wrong before. Danny has been very good at giving riders and fans good notice to save on wasted journeys. It’s not like Wednesday is looking dodgy with what time the rain is coming in as it’s forecast for all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Heard a rumour that Tomorrow the promotion are making a decision about the second leg. I just hope it’s not going to be Saturday as many fans will be at Vitality for the Wolves match and would already have purchased tickets. Saturday night ok if 7.30 to give enough time to get across to the stadium. But would struggle to do it with a 6pm start time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Any truth in the rumour if 2nd leg not completed by end of the month then first leg result stands and Scorpions win K O Cup? 3 dates apparently agreed this months, with first one on Wed looking a potential wash out???

I can't see Saturday being an option with the difficulty of getting stadium staff - many of whom have other work on a Saturday, including at the Vitality?!
