Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 31, 2018 The final league meeting of the season next Wednesday before the playoffs, and we welcome Wolverhampton to Wimborne Road. A chance for the boys to put the disaster at Kings Lynn behind them and get a decent win. Hopefully Stuart Dickson is back from his holidays to get the track just how the boys like it. I can’t see further than a Pirates win of around 52-38ish. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g13webb 4,254 Posted September 1, 2018 Bearing in mind this result is not important, and the so-called Poole's plan to reduce their averages, I can only see an easy win for WOLVES, lets say 35 -55.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant understand why you think that Kings Lynn away isnt important so Poole didnt try , yet you expect them to win easily at home? Poole picking and choosing what matches to try in lol Surely the Poole boys wont want to try to hard and get injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have been told by numerous Poole fans on here that they were not bothered at Lynn as they were assured their play off place. If they have been told to take it easy by either Ford or MIddlo then thats a disgusting way to repay the Poole fans who had made the effort to travel. What really happened was that Poole were totally thumped by a much better side. If the Poole reserves dont fire the team doesnt win simple as that. For this match i expect Poole to win by at least 15.................assuming they are trying of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole picking and choosing what matches to try in lol Surely the Poole boys wont want to try to hard and get injured. It is true the Kings Lynn meeting was always going to have little bearing on our final league position, I wouldn't say we should beat Wolves at home without trying too hard. I doubt we missed the gate in the early races on purpose but the track was quite deep by all accounts so difficult to pass in the early heats so once we missed the gate no much point in trying too hard. I don't see how you can say to riders go like the wind in one race then say make sure you come last in this one. I know there have been meetings in the past where we have been accused of match average manipulation but I don't believe that was the case at Kings Lynn but the fact that Klindt wasn't shows a lack of desire to really go for it. Kings Lynn no doubt were really up for it and fully deserved their victory but I would be very surprised if history repeated itself at Kings Lynn or our home match against Kings Lynn where we won by a similar scoreline.

INCOGNITO 357 Posted September 1, 2018 Wolves could string a bit of a suprise hear with a point gained too late as Wolves will be much better using a guest in their final few meetings and hope to finish higher than sixth of seven, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trackrat 440 Posted September 2, 2018 With meaningless meetings & Worralls slow engines I'm expecting a Wolves win. . . Unless they were all grasping excuses by the cheats fans of course. Can any Poole fan just clear up whether this meeting is meaningless, testing engines, different track man, hole in the track, wet/dry weather, high tide, tired riders....to avoid any excuses before this match happens. Don't expect any answers. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
