Shaleshifter 177 Posted July 8, 2016 Next Wednesday See's the return of Speedway to Wimborne Road after 6 weeks of no meetings. Completely crazy situation and still outstanding fixtures to be arranged. Lakeside Hammers are the visitors and will be looking for revenge after the extraordinary result from what was a makeshift Pirates team winning at the Arena Essex raceway last week. The Pirates have matches in hand on their rivals but need to pick up wins home and away to make the top 4. The Hammers have riders who go well at Poole especially Richard Lawson,Lewis-Bridger,Andreas-Jonsson,Kim-Nilsson and Lewis-Kerr. No easy contest but a must win for the Pirates.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 8, 2016 Well as we haven't ridden at Wimborne Road for six weeks will the boys still know the fastest way around? Ten point win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,026 Posted July 8, 2016 Lakeside are one of the better teams at gating at Poole. Is a potential banana skin but we should have enough overall to get the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted July 8, 2016 Lakeside are one of the better teams at gating at Poole. Is a potential banana skin but we should have enough overall to get the win. They also need to spot where the holes and bumps are, so they can miss them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simonc 3 Posted July 8, 2016 After 6 weeks of no racing, I would hope and expect that the track has had some serious work done and there should be no issues with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E I Addio 15,845 Posted July 8, 2016 Speedway has gone barmy, B P at reserve. Totally crazy, the BSPA need to sort it this winter.Agreed. All the promoters see is a stronger team. If a foreign rider of Pedersen's calibre can't stay out of reserve he shouldn't be foisted on the fans in the Elite League. A 37- year old has been, well past his sell by date, in a reserve slot intended for the development of young British riders is not what the fans pay to see. It makes a total mockery of the league as a serious competition. The fans are being taken for fools and an increasing number are not standing for it, as falling attendances show. Yes, needs to be sorted in the winter but whether there will be enough fans left by next year to sustain a realistic level of top league racing remains to be seen. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scottyfan 824 Posted July 8, 2016 You would hope so but I wouldn't hold my breathe on it! Did you not go to the last match against Swindon?? Track was totally smooth no holes or bumps whatsoever, even the hole on the first bend was gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
