Shaleshifter 177 Posted July 18, 2021 On Wednesday the Pirates take on the Gladiators in the 2nd leg of the koc. With a 8 point lead from the first leg I expect Poole to finish the job at Wimborne Road. The main threat will come from Bjarne Pedersen and Jason Crump and I am sure that Zane Keleher will have a point to prove. Thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted July 19, 2021 Will we have a new rider or a NDL option? Importantly the stadium is open to all again with no restrictions on attendance. Cash-only on the gate or the usual advance online option. Gates open at the original time of 1830 hours. For regulars, unfortunately last week's torrential flooding has virtually destroyed the Champs Bar and function space so this area WILL BE CLOSED for several weeks. However, the various snack bars are all open as is the downstairs bar in the glass (west) grandstand. Also new merchandise is on sale in the club shop. Patrons are asked to wear a face mask if they are wandering around the stadium or in the bars/toilets etc. As long as our 3 heat leaders come through their Premiership commitments on Monday evening then it should be a reasonable home win despite Jason and Bjarne.

Skidder1 7,637 Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Should be a good crowd then.......! Although the forecasted temperature of 33 degrees tomorrow may keep some away. It'll be interesting to see how the track copes as its been very different in each of the previous 2 home meetings.

Fell early on and can only imagine hurt his ribs again as it wasn’t particularly heavy from what I saw, he can’t catch a break atm ey! Yeah after the performance he put in the other night at Poole he would be a fantastic guest if Crump is still hurting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
