And if you donate you are giving your money to 'anonymous Poole fan' - for all we know that could be 'lucifersam' and he's planning to give all your Poole pennies to Luke and Jody. Luke and jody have got well over 3k donated by Oxford fans foord is barely over £400 from Poole fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday is a better forecast (if stadium is available - have no idea about any potential football clashes either!) Bournemouth v Arsenal at 5.30pm. I will be there as will be many regular Pirate fans. Edited October 13 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 Not a great weather forecast for Poole on Wednesday. Always a risk with these early winter meetings. As for the result , think Winnie Fooord won it last week by taking out 2 Oxford riders. Seems he has literally KO'd Killeen out of the KO Cup. 😞 So a hollow Poole victory is on the cards ...assuming they can find a dry Wednesday befor the end of October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TapesRup Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Terrible choice of guest replacements for Killeen Scott and Roynon. Poole will walk both legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that result is probably even more of a foregone conclusion than the KO Cup final. Give it a miss, for your own sanity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott is not in the named 7 so there is no reason to find a guest for him. And while there are alternatives I struggle to see any that are significantly better - please enlighten me.

I find it hard to not believe there are not better choices out there. I know we are short of top class riders but surely not reserves also are we.

If Poole let Oxford use a rider up to 5, Poole win by 20 on aggregate instead of 30, but would probably make for better racing over the 2 legs. Can't happen but can only see a very one sided final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the junior riders have either sold/ packed away their equipment for 2024, and taken up thier winter jobs. Doubt a ride at Wimborne Road to be knocked off by Foord is a very attractive early winter fixture ? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be so Steve Lyric2 - but with clubs finishing their official fixtures some time in September.... they aren't going to have to accept a gust booking whether or not they "are in contract"..... whatever that means in the murky world of speedway.
