    Just saw a replay of ht7 on Twitter. It’s shows exactly why we’ll struggle with Paco and Kye as a middle order pairing. Kye has the chance to be really hard (but fair) on Hagon in the first lap and shuts off. Paco similar later in the heat. No disrespect to Sam but he shouldn’t be living with either of them at the moment yet he only lost second on the line. 

    Sam needs to learn that he can't keep to the outside line all the time. As exciting as it was to see it live, he needed to just cutback to the inside on the final lap imo.

    Neither set the world alight did they, scoring 3 and 0 respectively.

    Weather permitting, this Wednesday Pirates take on the Monarchs in the K.o.c cup quarter final 1st Leg.

    Due to rain offs this is only our second meeting of the season since the big home win over Oxford on Good-Friday.

    Looking at both teams 1-7 I feel that  Poole have the edge.

    Edinburgh have Josh Picketing back leading the team backed up by Justin Sedgmen, a good top two. Kye Thomsom being the third heat leader. I feel that Poole have a stronger top three with Richard, Ben and Tom.

    The Monarchs have Paco Castagna and Lasse Fredriksen as second strings and the Pirates have Zach Cook and Tobias Thomsen.

    If Tobias has a good meeting to back up  Zach than hopefully they Wiil out point the two Monarchs.

    This leaves the reserve pairings.

    Sam Hagon and Max Perry  for Poole against Connor Coles and Max James for the Monarchs.

    Personally I think Sam has the beating of both of them and Max Perry should at least see off Max James.

    Home win for Poole not sure by how many points but enough for us to take up to Armadale for the second leg.

    Thoughts?

     

     

     

     

     

    Tobias scored a decent 11 points in Denmark today so should be on it on Wednesday. 53-37 I reckon

    Dubious choice of guest,rr would have been better not committed enough for me,we all know zach is better than that probably on strict orders from Poole promotion imo 

     

    A strong performance by the Glads. Not sure that using a 2nd string to guest at 1 was the best idea but then again using r/r at Scunthorpe didn't exactly work either!

    Worrall would be left as a HL then, Need to find a way to get Worrall at second string.

    Bringing Riss in for Lampart would've left the engine room looking like this going by GSA's (2. Z. Cook......3. Worrall.......4. Brennan with Riss at 6)

    But Klindt for Lampart leaves it looking like this (2. Brennan.....3. Klindt.....4. Worrall with Z. Cook at 6)

    On current form it shouldn't be too long before Zach is a Prem heat leader!:t:

    So nothing has changed??????????????????????????????

    I think any potential issue is with the newly awaited BCP Council 'Local Plan' which is currently in the 'public consultation' stage!

    The plan takes each council ward-by-ward and shows the Poole stadium site within the Poole Town Centre ward as a 'potential area for development'.  This is no different to previous plans under the old Poole Council, and has no current planning applications attached to the site, despite part of the site (railway sidings and Stadium lorry park area) previously being suggested for housing, whilst retaining the stadium itself..

    Generally the Council has said it does not want to lose any sports/leisure facilities, (it is currently working with Poole Town FC to source a new facility!) but nevertheless has targets for new houses/accommodation to be met over the next 15 years or so. 

    Personally, I wouldn't see the Stadium site as a 'priority' area for development by the Council as there are several other sites identified across the whole B'mth/Christchurch/Poole area which I would see of higher priority. BUT  a planning application could be submitted and fully funded by any third party partner ('cos the Council don't have the money!). It would be at that time that any protests and objections from speedway fans and anyone else against such developments would become necessary.

    The housing development market isn't that buoyant at the moment so I guess its WATCH THIS SPACE for the time being..............!

    In any case, it would likely be several years for any similar circumstances to come about, so as long as the rental of the stadium for speedway is kept at a reasonable level then I see Poole Speedway continuing for a good while yet. (Just my personal opinion!)

    Track was superb against Oxford. The extra banking on the first and second bends opened up new racing lines which Oxford couldn’t handle. 

    A shame it was off last night. No speedway for me until 15th May v Workington due to holidays. :neutral:

    At least I can purchase the Poole stream which is excellent value for money and recommend for opposition fans who can’t make it live.

    Poole v Plymouth rearranged for Weds May 1st!

    (ps. Also rumoured that Oxford v Poole rearranged for Weds 8th May - not confirmed as yet, but being mentioned at Oxford on Thurs!!)

    Haven't posted this year and thought I'd start with a positive. With only a few weeks into the season I have purchased two Birmingham's an Oxford a Berwick and a Peter Craven memorial along with the BSN season pass that Santa got me and I have to say the quality has been outstanding. The commentary and camera work have been fantastic, Rory is an excellent addition to the BSN crew. 

    From a few years back when you were paying "bob" 12 quid for an iPhone stream and shocking audio it has improved ten fold, long may it continue as long as my bank balance can afford it I'll be getting as many as I can.

    Additionally it saves me from watching the regular weekly crap of love island, celebrity jungle crap and married at first sight.

     

    They are all still available on 'catch-up'!!!:t::rofl::party:
