Poole win by 18 Its quite clear Poole are winning matches due to their reserve strength and Somerset seem to be the only team who have reserves that can match Poole ....big loss and an easy Poole win now. we've missed all those statistics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daz9100 270 Posted August 26, 2018 From today's Poole preview Quote The Pirates begin the action facing a Somerset side that has been hit by enforced changes. Richard Lawson has been ruled out through illness, a non-speedway injury that necessitates a 7-day side-lining, whilst Bradley Wilson-Dean is serving a 9-day stand down under medical regulations after crashing last Thursday at Ipswich. That incident came less than 24 hours after Jake Allen escaped an horrific crash that involved himself, Josh Auty and Richard Lawson at Somerset last Wednesday. It was remarkable to see all riders walk away from the incident that took out no fewer than four airbags, Allen though suffering elbow tissue damage and a bang to the kidneys, so misses Monday's 12:30pm start at Wimborne Road. The full-strength Pirates are ready to pounce on the Rebels after the current leaders deposed them last Monday and a Poole win would move them back above Somerset in the table. The visitors have booked Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen and Tero Aarnio to operate at reserve for them whilst cover for Lawson is still being evaluated. http://www.poolepirates.co/news/2016-08-26_pirates-bank-holiday-action.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted August 26, 2018 If Rebels go r/r for Lawson then everyone bar Doyley could take an extra ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Those two guest reserves are better than Allen and BWD, looking at their championship scores. As for greebo missing, he rarely does much at Poole so Somerset could yet again benefit. Edit Skidder just beat me to it. The track is getting one hell of a watering today. Might need the track staff in when it stops to pump all the water off and give it a chance to dry overnight. Edited August 26, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But should you or anybody else making the trip tomorrow it is advisable to get there early if you want a prime seat in the Grandstand, and a parking place in the car park.
