Shaleshifter Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 (edited) It's been a few years since the Comets last visited Wimborne Road. I believe it may have been the bspa cup? Someone will correct me. This looks to be an entertaining meeting and Workington have surprised the critics so far with some decent results. Looking forward to seeing Tate Zischke make his debut at Poole, he looks a decent signing and also does Antti Vuolas if he is fit Craig Cook and Troy Batchelor have had good and not so good meetings at Wimborne Road and Claus Vissing also. This leaves the reserves pairing of Celina Liebmann and Sam McGuirk both making their debuts at Poole. Poole must not expect an easy ride against the Comets it could be a tough encounter. Sticking my neck out I think we will win but by how many I am unsure. Thoughts? Edited May 12 by Shaleshifter Spelling errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa-colette Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 (edited) You mean the cup in 2003 where if you were in the top league you put out a Champ level team? I can't remember what that was called either lol. Wasn't that what we first bought Lindback over for, half way through the season? Anyway... Craig Cook is always good at Poole whatever is happening. Same with Batch most of the time. I would be surprised if either of them got below 11. Be interesting to see how Tate does and how many secrets about the track Darcy has told him!! Sure he has mentioned the cutback on bends 1 and 2 if you don't make the gate. Vissing you would expect to be good for 6-8 points. The others is anyone's guess, depends how quickly they get the set up right and if they like the track I suppose. These next two home meetings a massive banana skins, be interesting to see how it pans out. Edit - prediction 48-42.

lisa-colette Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Wonder if they are still going to boo Craig Cook on parade? I get why they do it but he hasn't done anything questionable at Poole for at least 6 years now, so maybe time to stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway fans never forget Anything Cookie was getting some stick yesterday and look how it affected his score Hopefully the same happens today but the home team are lot stronger than yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
