Poole Pirates Vs Edinburgh Monarchs K.o.c quarter final 1st leg 24/4
Shaleshifter posted a topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Weather permitting, this Wednesday Pirates take on the Monarchs in the K.o.c cup quarter9 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? -
Poole Pirates Vs Oxford Cheetahs BSN Good Friday
Shaleshifter posted a topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
A week today (weather Permitting) the Pirates open their season with the visit of the Oxford Cheetahs . Looking forward to seeing Max Perry and Sam Hagon and hope it doesn't take long for them to get dialled in around Wimborne Road. With the Poole team my only real concern is Tobias Thomson but will give him time to see if he can perform at championship level. Hopefully we can start off with a win although Oxford will be no pushovers with Sam Masters and Scott Nicholls in their team. Thoughts. -
Poole v Edinburgh Weds 27/09/23
Shaleshifter replied to Skidder1's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
This thread appears to redundant. Anyway weather permitting, we will get the business done on Wednesday and make the playoff final. Not sure who Edinburgh are using to replace Craig Cook. I guess it might be Justin Sedgeman. -
22.09.2023 - Playoff SF, Scunny vs Poole
Shaleshifter replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
What are you talking about? Do you really think that Poole will not race Edinburgh,home or away. Although the weather forecast shows a 60% chance of a heavy shower on Wednesday at 4pm then at 7pm 40% of a light shower but no other mention of rain the rest of the day. -

Poole v Edinburgh. 20/8/23 Championship 5pm.
Shaleshifter replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I hope that was said with tongue firmly in cheek. Must be a wind up. Lol. -
This Wednesday the Pirates take on the Bears who are making their second visit of the season to Wimborne Road. This time league points are at stake. The Bears do possess riders who can ride Wimborne Road and score consistently like Charles Wright and Eric Riss on thier day. You can also include ex captain of Poole Danny King as well as former Pirate Danyon Hume to that list. If the meeting is half as good as the encounter back in June at the Media-Prime Arena where Poole came away with the points after winning a super heat shootout then it will be a entertaining night for all. Thoughts ?

Poole Pirates Vs Birmingham Brummies 26th July
Shaleshifter posted a topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The Pirates welcome the Brummies to Wimborne Road on Wednesday looking to carry on from last weeks win at Perry Barr. Not sure who is guesting now for Nick Morris due to Rory Schlein being out injured. Would expect a comfortable home win but Berwick put up a fight last week especially early on in the meeting. Thoughts? -
Poole Pirates Vs Glasgow Tigers Bsn Final 1st Leg 5th July
Shaleshifter posted a topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
After Friday's first leg wash out up in Glasgow, the Pirates will now stage the first leg of the final. The Tigers are in good form and include track specialist Chris Harris who has been a thorn in the Pirates side on more than one occasion. Tom Brennan had a good meeting at Wimborne Road at Steve Worrals testimonial add in ex Pirate Benjamin Basso and you have a strong top three. I feel that the Second strings and reserves of both sides could be the difference in determining the outcome of the meeting. This is where I think the Pirates will be stronger. Thoughts? -
Redcar Bears Vs Poole Pirates Championship 16th June
Shaleshifter posted a topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Making my way up to Teeside on Friday with a early start taking in the North Yorkshire moors and Whitby on route to the South- Tees motor sport park. Redcar will be a tough meeting for the Pirates on Friday. Revenge will definitely be on thier minds after loosing at home in the second leg of the knockout cup recently. The individual battles, between heat-leaders, second strings and reserves should ensure some great racing. Hoping for a Pirates win but it will be tough to come away with a victory. Thoughts? -
Plymouth Gladiators Vs Poole Pirates Championship 6/6 23
Shaleshifter posted a topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Coming down to the Coluesium for this fixture. Always a tricky venue to come away with any points. The Gladiators have replaced Paul Starke with Ben Morley who will definitely score points at home and will make it tougher for the away teams. The Pirates,will all need to be firing on the night if we have any chance of success on Tuesday. Thoughts? -
Oxford Vs Poole Jubilee Cup &Return 2nd-3rd August
Shaleshifter posted a topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
After the Pirates demolition of a very under strength and injury hit Birmingham; all roads head to Sandy Lane on Tuesday where the first of two nights of speedway action begin. Poole are favourites to progress through to the final of the Renamed Jubilee Cup. The Cheetahs will be tough opposition especially at home so expect a tough encounter. Thoughts? -

Poole Pirates vs Glasgow Tigers 13th July.
Shaleshifter posted a topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
On Wednesday the Pirates take on The Tigers with Glasgow currently sitting in second place in the league. They are 4 points ahead with a meeting in hand. On current form they will be favourites to come away with the points. With ex Pirates Benjamin Basso and Danyon Hume in their team and the likes of Craig Cook, Tom Brennan,Broc Nicol ,Conner Mountain and Urich Ostergaard they will be a huge test for Poole. Pirates have a practice lined up tomorrow to try and get their setup 's right for Wedneday evenings meeting. Thoughts? -
Poole Pirates Vs Berwick Bandits 29/6/22
Shaleshifter replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Having started this thread here are my thoughts on tonights meeting. Firstly , what a rider Chris Bomber Harris is 17 + 1 and untouchable. Also a special mention for Leon Flint a real star in the making. First three rides and unbeaten. Also a good debut from Jonas Knudson. If all the Bandits had been on form than Poole would have lost at home agsin. Fortress Wimborne Road is no more. Since the track has been smoothed out there is no longer any home track advantage. Why oh why do the riders want it slick with only the 1 racing line out wide. We brought new shale with more clay content in it and now the riders have asked for the extra dirt to be taken off. Poole need to decide quickly what to do regarding track prep as all the away teams are coming without any fear and making us look very ordinary.
