Steve Shovlar Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Hagen and Perry got better with every lap though we mustn’t expect too much from them. Tobias looked more confident than I expected and seems to think he will do a good job. Soon find out against opposition riders who know the Poole track very well. Roll on Friday night and let’s hope it’s a good entertaining opening meeting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 (edited) I've already attended the Peter Craven Memorial & Oxford vs Sheffield meetings but this is where the 2024 season starts! After a season of travelling down on the good old National Express it's back on the train, strikes allowing. After watching p&p I'm really up for Pirates vs Cheetahs BSN, can't wait. Welcome to the Pirates newcomers in Brennan,Thomsen, Perry & Hagon. I'm sure you will do us proud. Let's hope the rain holds off enough to get us off to a winning start. C'mon the Pirates!

Bagpuss Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Oxford are going to be up there this year, I fancy them to run Poole very close at the least in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we have four new riders, there won’t be a better opportunity for Oxford to get a result before the boys are dialled in. Riding a few laps at P&P is not the same as racing in a meeting so we have vulnerability for this one. Pretty sure once the new four have got used to the track we will be a force.

LisaColette Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I'd be surprised if it goes ahead with the rain today and some showers possibly in the morning tomorrow! 1 hour ago, Bagpuss said: Oxford are going to be up there this year, I fancy them to run Poole very close at the least in this one. Yeah expect it to be within 6 points either way if it goes ahead especially as we had to lose 7 points from last season and Oxford pretty much the same! Any sort of win I would be happy with.

szkocjasid Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Both teams could be considered to have a long tail, but Poole have a strong top 4, Oxford a strong top 2, so can't see the Cheetahs getting too close. 2 home wins, but Poole to get the bonus point.

It just depends now on how much more overnight stuff falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Few showers about tomorrow but nothing like today. Dont think there’s much risk of it being called off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technik Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Looking at the teams & the fact that Poole have a much changed line up I believe Oxford could upset the apple cart & come away with a narrow victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Trains running on time, in fact early intro St.Pancras . Left Waterloo half hour a go to arrive Pirate Land 1313. I've watched Max Perry's progression in the sport since seeing him on a 125cc at Rye House in 2018. Juniors raced before the live TV meeting vs Pirates. Then seen Max ride for the Lion Cubs and I was so surprised when they released him in the winter He's certainly one to watch, to the Max!

Steve Shovlar Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Hope you get a clear run to Poole LBW. No trains running between Bournemouth and Brockenhurst due to signal issues. My daughter wants to go to from Weymouth to Pokesdown but is scrambling around trying to work out bus services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably use a 'passenger replacement service' or use a 'guest' service ie a bus!! NB> TRACK UPDATE AT 1PM.- Bright, sunny and breezy at Wimborne Road. Meeting definitely ON. Designated turnstiles opening 30 mins early at 6pm for Pre-booked ticket holders and Season Ticket collections.
