Shaleshifter Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 The play-offs for the Championship start this coming Wednesday when the Pirates take on the Comets for a place in the final. The other semi final on the sane evening sees the Oxford Cheetahs take on the Scunthorpe Scorpions . The Pirates have had the upper hand in all but one encounter with the Comets this season but that counts for nothing in the play-offs. Workington will require 3 guests to cover for their injured riders over both meetings and Poole will need a guest at reserve and possible rider replacement if not fit for Sam Hagon. Hope to get a good lead to take up to Northside next Saturday. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I use is saying a little bit of rain through night and a few showers through the day should be okay hopefully 🤞🏼 tends to be the most reliable one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I've done wot I shouldn't of done by posting a weather forecast as I can understand promoters not wanting folk to do that. Whoops, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame Comets ☄️ come into the play offs needing 3 guests. Can only see Kerr, Edwards & Flint making minimal impact at WINborne Road. Good bunch of supporters up at Workington. Oh, the weather now seems to be fine for Saturday. No more weather reports from me. I'm not Michael Fish! 😀 Edited September 10 by lbw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not Michael Fish! 😀 Just have to hope Workington can get the best possible guests for Saturday, to at least give us half a chance if recent visits to Poole are anything to go by... Hopefully Josh Pickering and Dan Tnompson (if allowed given he rode last week) will fancy some more laps around Northside. Drew Kemp maybe too.

Yes the fact the van is in Germany is why I said it's very unlikely I don't think they are expecting the van to be repaired until tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
