Poole Pirates Vs Edinburgh Monarchs K.o.c quarter final 1st leg 24/4


Recommended Posts

Well great effort from the boys. Coles and Thomson still a concern. 
 

if you offered me 9 points before the meeting I think we would’ve bitten your hand off. Really should be 8 due to complete incompetence from the ref. However still in it and very manageable.

Kinda evened out with Paco being allowed back in H15 imo when went down on his own and Poole on a 5-1 at the time. 

Edinburgh were good tonight, never gave up and kept battling away. Keeps second leg alive which can only be a good thing. 

Edit - also Max James winning a race first time out at Poole is impressive, well done to him.

Anyone into conspiracy theories might think the stadium people don't want speedway to continue?!;) stadium electrics. Hmmmm!?

As for the Ref's decision to continue with no red lights, all the red flag staff were fully briefed as to the temporary arrangements using the 'rider exclusion lights'.

Where's all the Poole gobs today. Should be fined for that shambles. Can't even get the basics right. No money being spent. The end is nigh.

What you going to do with yourself when we're gone, probably back to your day job :icon_smile_clown::icon_smile_clown:

Just saw a replay of ht7 on Twitter. It’s shows exactly why we’ll struggle with Paco and Kye as a middle order pairing. Kye has the chance to be really hard (but fair) on Hagon in the first lap and shuts off. Paco similar later in the heat. No disrespect to Sam but he shouldn’t be living with either of them at the moment yet he only lost second on the line.

Sam needs to learn that he can't keep to the outside line all the time. As exciting as it was to see it live, he needed to just cutback to the inside on the final lap imo.

Have a massive party of course :icon_smile_clown:

Ridiculous comment, surely nobody wants any club closing, we need more clubs not less. Had a great rivalry with Coventry but I never wanted to see them close. Just because we have pulled a few strokes in the past  doesnt mean everybody will be happy if we closed.

Don't think you should be mentioning the word 'circus' after last night.

Give it a rest dinlo, in the 50 + years i have been going, that's the first time I've ever seen that happen, may have had problems with the starting gate on the odd occasion, but not the red lights as well

He'll get there. I remember Ablitt going through the same lesson. That move in second half of a meeting would probably work tbf, just not that early on.
