Surely Garry May will realise the Poole riders think that the inside line will be the place, thus then changing the track to make the outside more favourable? As i said, and i wont say it again, our boys will not miss a trick this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the answer is yes then where has it gone wrong in only finishing 4th. Could it be that all is not well in the Poole camp. Certainly a season of underachieving thus far. " I think Swindon, Wolves and Leicester would like to underachieve on the same scale! 4th???? Last time I looked Poole had 44 points and Belle Vue 40 points. Even if Belle Vue were to win at Swindon and get all 4 points, they would have to win by 41 points to get into 3rd place above Poole on race points!!!, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt it, worked last time and gives their riders a massive advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Seems there is some passing tonight. JD withdrawn after a fall. Hope it's just a slight knock. Edited September 12, 2018 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,617 Posted September 13, 2018 Sounds as though JD's injury is his hip! Garry May said afterwards that he will be fit for monday - but then nobody would expect him to say anything else at this stage?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirates Of Poole 759 Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) I really can’t call this, it’s either going to be like the last tv meeting against both sides where Poole struggled to get there set up with a similar score or Poole could pull off a shock. Either way I will be there to cheer the boys on! Edited September 13, 2018 by Pirates Of Poole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willstaxi 280 Posted September 13, 2018 Poole have run every year since 1948 the only year they did not compete in a league was 1957 , even then they run a series of open meetings including two National League matches under the name of Rayliegh Pirates 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray c 2,299 Posted September 13, 2018 I think we got to keep it close and keep it to eight points to win the second leg and that will be tight exciting though !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way I will be there to cheer the boys on! Tricky one. But speedway riders have been walking tracks since time began, well almost Kurtz knows the track. Must of walked it many times. He should know where the grip is going to be. If theres nothing on the outside, maybe retard the timing a tad or up the main jet to make the bike a bit flatter to grip of off the start ? If it's gate and go. Edited September 13, 2018 by Bald Bloke spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted September 14, 2018 Brady has to perform if we are to stand a chance. Been very poor on his last couple of visits to OTA. Can't call it on aggregate. Could come down to an exclusion or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,055 Posted September 14, 2018 It could come down to weak links and both teams have possible weaknesses, Somerset have Covatti and Summers, Poole have Worrall and Kurtz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it comes down to the aformentioned 4 i would rather have Worrell and Brady any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
