Ok so it has been  recognised there are some issues.

Let's hope they can find and sort what it is. An on form Drew like the one who started he season is a big plus at reserve, especially when Nathan is finding his feet.

Fortunately its still very early season so plenty of time to hopefully put right.

I honestly don't think he will have a problem, in his next away match, (Redcar). He always goes well there and I would expect him to probably have 7 rides.

Poole have chosen a team where their top 3 could be number ones in most other Championship teams. A big gamble with the pressure put on your other 4 riders to up their game/averages. 

Your top 3 are unlikely to improve so to be successful it's the other 4 that have to improve!............ No pressure then.

Tbh if the top 3 all get 10 then the other 4 only need 16 for a win, so 4 each. But seeing as Nathan's average is 2, if he gets that, the other 3 just need to get 5 each. I don't think that is too much pressure. They are all capable of it and tbh they prob target to get more than that each meeting anyway!

No pressure at all.

We did the Double last year in the same position.

This year we will do the Treble plus the Riders' Championship coz we are the Pirates, simples.

Forecast looking dodgy. A few hours of rain due tomorrow afternoon before clearing away by 6pm. Hopefully not too heavy.

On met office website says heavy shower at 3pm, with light rain between 12-2pm. So as long as the heavy shower isn't around too long should be okay.

Bit of a catch 22, either earlier decision coz of the distance for Newcastle or later decision due to the forecast.

Either way let's hope it's all systems go for a Pirates Win :t:

Can only see a 60+ home win unless the weather saves Newcastle.
