    Wish we could……….lol

    A few Pirates’ fans maybe changing their minds about not initially wanting Tom in the side?

    Think it was just based on previous performances  (same happened when Lawson came) although more banking on the track now, which I'm sure him and Hagon appreciate!

    Ace was also a bullet if going to go there. But I wouldn't be too confident in us winning anywhere this season. Brother Steve's early season form for Birmingham not been good either. I'd bite your hand off for 4th if was offered!

    Oh yes, Ace too!

    Well you are not having Tom back ;). I just wonder when riders have to change teams that is forced on them, they take a couple of months to settle. Didn't Masters say going to Oxford felt different to what he thought but halfway through last season onwards he felt comfortable in the team.

    Can’t see them being susceptible to home defeats this season…..

    I agree with ragdoll, think Berwick will be very good at home this year. But that's the point of a forum, differing views.

    Glasgow should win there tbh with Complin and Flint in their team! But Berwick will be lots better at home than previous seasons, so can't see too many doing it. 

    Edit - oh and Harris!! lol

    Again, as I said last year, the only clips you see on here is when Poole gate & go or they make passes. I can't remember any races of Ryan Douglas or the KOC v Scunthorpe last year. :nono:

    There must be SOME races when the opposition pass Poole riders? B)

    Yeah, they are on the stream. If you want watch others pass Poole riders you have to pay for it :D

    Tobias T said to me before the meeting he had parcelled up the neg feedback hos signjng had brought over tge winter and was going to show what he can do. Was far mire accomplished than expected. Sam Hagon take a bow. Superb debut. 
     

    Special mention to Killeen who tried all night and battled hard for his points. 

    Hope he took note someone from BSN was slating him during the winter as well.

    I'd be surprised if it goes ahead with the rain today and some showers possibly in the morning tomorrow!

    Oxford are going to be up there this year, I fancy them to run Poole very close at the least in this one. 

    Yeah expect it to be within 6 points either way if it goes ahead especially as we had to lose 7 points from last season and Oxford pretty much the same! Any sort of win I would be happy with.

    Haven't got going yet? Its meeting number 2 for god sake. You really do bring it on yourself with your thick comments.

    Birmingham doing well fair play and a big crowd in sounds good. Hopefully hold on for a win.

    Yeah exactly my point, thanks. So perfect time to have a meeting against them! Duh. Try reading before attacking, but I know that is asking a lot!! :blink:

    Some good points made. To reply to @Skidder1 & @Fromafar I realise admission it's not only decided by the amount of points riders score. But if Oxford have weakened (assuming Killeen will be on a lower payrate than Kerr was) that's a saving on last year. Weaker riders must be cheaper, otherwise the Prem, Champ & NL would have the same costs (extreme example I know). So my suggestion would be, if you pay 6 riders the same but replacing a heat leader witb a reserve, should help offset any cost increases?

    To reply to @allthegearbutnaeidea & @Toady I totally get your point, but while you make a fair point about fans expecting promoters to absorb their increased costs. I could turn it around & say why do promoters expect fans to absorb the increased costs?

    As @Bagpuss suggests there will always be a price that some find acceptable and others don't. It could be going from £19 to £20 maybe not. If all the fans turn up, then it's a good decision. If they get fans picking & choosing matches more due to price increases, could go against them.

    Most Championship clubs were charging £20 last season, whereas Poole was £19. So am surprised there is a debate about it (we are just catching up!) Maybe they need the extra pound from everyone to cover costs more.

    They said publicly that season tickets have been going really well, so maybe not that much picking and choosing!

    Seems to be a lot of individuals. So be interesting to see how they get on especially with team riding. Hopefully Darcy has emphasised it to Tate as he was always really good at that from a young age.

    7 years in jail could change a person everybody deserves a second chance and Pretty sure Mark Courtney got released for drug offences and the next month he was riding for Glasgow 

    Not when mugging an elderly lady at knife point he doesn't. Have to be absolutely crazy to put him anywhere speedway again imo. Although if he does sign for Plymouth when they are at Poole, the Police station is near the entrance to the stadium, so he won't have far to go if he does anything!

    Well, I think he's very big and very clever :D

    After all, we're all talking about him (again) and that's what he wants. How many of you can remember what everybody else had to say?

    I must admit though I do like Jack Holder's style more, he's got the cheeky arrogance, with his finger waving and all that, just a little less X rated. 

    Exactly! If anyone wants to annoy Tai, just ignore everything he says, he'd hate that! Just don't let him wind you up.

    So hard to predict, Oxford team didn’t get a real feel for the track with the rain against brum but I don’t think many of the Sheffield team will have been Oxford before?  
     

    going for a narrow home win 46-44

    Only the HLs haven't. The rest would have been to Oxford last couple of years in the Championship. The Holder's have watched it at Oxford though when helping Zach occasionally in 2022.
