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!

Unexpected I guess.!!

Some over confidence from Poole fans in some places

49-41 in the league meeting where Rowe got 6 + 1 and Scunthorpe got 8 from Clegg and Mountain

45-45 in the play offs where Rowe again got 6 + 1 but Scunthorpe got 15 from Kemp and Mountain with Lambert and Palm Toft having poor nights

R/R for Rowe makes Poole weaker but they can use Tac Sub in the up i believe

I doubt Douglas and Kemp will get 30 again but Douglas in 12 races at Poole has got 35 out of 36 points

A lot depends on how Lambert and Palm Toft go if they can get 12 or 13 between them then this will be close

Douglas 15 maybe from 6

Mountain 3

Lambert 6

Allen 7

Palm Toft 5

Kemp 7

Ablitt 1

Thats 44 and broken down like that looks possible

Poole are favourites without question but this could be close

 

 

Wasn’t far out 

To many cocky Poole fans but as pointed out Scunthorpe drew earlier in the season 

I said if Lambert and Palm Toft got 12 or 13 or would be close and they got 15 

I got Allen and Mountain the wrong way round and Kemp got slightly more
