But too far for me at the moment in my condition. Klindt is a major loss. Danny King can blow hot and cold but knows the place well enough. We do well with our own 1-7 but not as well with guests. Hoping that will change tomorrow. And there we have it ‘Poole weaker with guests’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,093 Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) We have good guests best available Klindt doesn't get 12 every time, King is probably more consistent at the Showground and there isn't many if any better on under NBJ's average than Berge but the problem will be Nicholls who is in good form at the moment. We are so unlucky Peterborough have strengthened just before our visit and now Swindon have just before we meet them.

It’s a round of the Danish Championship that’s been rearranged (akin to our British Finals), not a league match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If King gets more than 12 you may have a point but I would have more faith in NBJ scoring well than Berge . Edited May 23, 2019 by foreverblue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gasser90 229 Posted May 23, 2019 I see Bates tweeted yesterday that he had been practicing at Leicester and going really well. Then blew and engine on his last outing. Just what you need on the eve of your return to prem racing. I hope he has a quick engine on his spare bike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you had seen Berge Vs NBJ at the showground over the past few seasons you would see that you maybe wrong on this one. I remember one meeting where Berge was unbeatable.

Problem being that at the EoES in 2019 if you're not in the mix after 30 yards then you're giving a 100% in 4th and staying there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gasser90 229 Posted May 23, 2019 The racing at pboro is half as exciting as it used to be. I hope I’m wrong but I think Bates might struggle in the same way Ben Barker did purely because the racing line is round the inside. Riders that go out searching for grip near the fence end up going backwards. It’s gate and go at the minute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
