Most teams when they are away in playoffs say no more than 8-10 points, but Worky are happy with 14? Never heard any team say that before, not even in the Prem. Interesting that Flint is a lot better at Poole when not riding for Glasgow! Five points more and way better than Vissing. I would say Tate be getting 8-10 points at Poole on a third visit (especially if he stayed at no2 - not sure if they would have moved him to 3 or 4) so lost out there and never know what Craig Cook is going to do at Poole so on a bad night pretty equal with Kerr. Edit - would have been better for my heart having a 28 point lead but no good for a neutral or Worky fan, so also means we shouldn't get complacent 🤞 Edited September 11 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have every right to be happy with 14 considering the two clatterings they've already had at Poole this year! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Decent lead and enough imo. Workington battled but Pirates top end too strong. Would have been 16 but for Zach trying to get past in heat 14. Onto Workington Saturday. Didn’t Pickering ride there last Saturday so is not available? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picko can guest again for a number 1 the 8 day rule does not apply, so get 2 more good guests, pray for engine troubles for Poole and anything can happen UTC 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard on the grapevine that the three guests for Workington are Bewley , Harris and Wright. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not going to keep happening though. Just think teams need to aim for under 10 to have a good chance and sometimes seen teams with 4-6 point leads go through, so 14 will be hard work but not impossible.

Marksman Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Good effort considering we hardly had a race win! Only 2, packed the 2nd places well with 12 of them. Well done to Starkey and Flint, great effort from all 6 riders to be fair. FYI, the 8 day rule doesn’t count for play off meetings not just the Number 1 position. A new rule for 2024 I believe. I’d expect Pickering and Thompson to cover for Cookie and Tate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Fair play to Workington for keeping the score closer than many may have thought. Pirates though came away with 2 maximum men in Lawson 15(5) & Ben 13+2(5) and a 14 point lead which going on previous visits to Northside should be more than enough. C'mon the Boyzzzz ☠️ 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelodge bit pricey. Dunno, will see in a couple of days because the weather keeps changing it's mind. Edited September 11 by lbw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
