    2. Stevie Worrall 

    3. Richard Lawson 

    4. Danny King

    5. Dan Bewley 

    6. Ben Cook

    Factually incorrect. Another sweeping falsehood about Poole.

    I'm sure my fellow Pirates cud name more examples than this one I have.....

    2018 Premiership play off final Poole vs King's Lynn. Poole were home for the 1st leg & away for the 2nd leg. Made no difference coz we still won.

    Check yer facts before u speak & making yerself look like a sagging sausage roll.

    :party:

    2013 Play off final Poole home in first leg, Then Birmingham away in the second leg.

    Gate 4 was a graveyard. Danyon continues his good form as does Ulle but no other positives. Berwick beat Oxford ending the Cheetahs play off hopes and Plymouth fail to take anything from Birmingham. Second place still possible for us. Have we ever won at Poole? 

    Birmingham v Plymouth was a Championship Jubilee League meeting not a Championship League meeting.

    Just got in and wish I had stayed at home and watched the stream instead. 

    Pirates were on a 5-1 in heat 1 when Zac lost a chain and from then on it was a hard night at the office. Plymouth ran off several 4-2’s, only for Pirates to reply with three of their own to level at 21-21. But then the tractors came out and removed all the dirt from the track and piled it up on the center green on the back straight. It made the meeting into first out of the second bend and although Pirates occasionally gated, very poor decisions coming out of the second bend allowed the Plymouth riders through and the races were over by the third bend. Unless you were Chris Harris who put in his usual shift against Poole and was outstanding, blasting inside and outside and unstoppable. Only he could do this.

    Poor decision making and not being hard enough made the meeting a bore (unless Harris was in a heat) as it was follow the leader. But take nothing away from the Plymouth team who knew where to put their bikes coming off the second bend to win tonight easily. 

    I doubt any team will win at Plymouth for the remainder of this season. You know it’s a track with plenty of home advantage when you see riders like Bowtell beat top championship riders like Steve Worrall with ease. (No disrespect aimed at Bowtell) 

    A fair result, no qualms about it. In the scheme of things it means little as neither Leicester or Glasgow will get anything there either. Well done to Plymouth. Nice to have a chat with Lewi before the meeting. 
     

    Leicester have already lost there 60 - 30.

    Confused by the Poole statement on their website that Ben Cooke got injured while guesting for Plymouth at Redcar and this held him back for the rest of the season as the only guest for that meeting was Hume.

    He got hurt guesting for Redcar v Newcastle on the 23rd July at Redcar.

    He scored 2*3 F/X = 5+1…Hope that helps.

    Poole website has it wrong :t:

    It does make me laugh when some cov fans come on here moaning about Poole fans and the club and cheating,  think they should think back to when a certain polish rider missed a meeting so he could stay at reserve for the play offs.  With the club stating he was injured the FACT WAS HE WASN'T so who was cheating then?. 

     

    It wasn’t just one meeting though….it was a lot more so he didn’t get a new average and go up in the team!!!

    I think we are talking about different track alterations. Poole Town left after the 94-95 football season and the track changes I'm referring to were done in time for the 1996 speedway season and were possible because there was no longer a need for a football pitch on the grass infield meaning the white line was taken in. 

    That’s when they moved the track back to where it was originally and the dog track was reinstated but they made it wider by bringing the bends in as there was no football anymore. Which is how it still is now.:t:

    The speedway track was changed considerably in 1995/96 IIRC, I went a couple of times in the early nineties and while it was a fast and spectacular track it was very narrow with little room, its much wider now. I assume the football club vacating allowed the changes to happen.

    It was mid way through the 1990 season….The Track was moved out to where the dog track is/was because the football pitch had to be widened as Poole Town had gone up a league and the pitch had to be wider to meet the league requirements.

    It was all done in a week or just over too. :t:

    Matt first mentioned this rent issue in the meeting vs Brum on August BH Mon and now we are in Dec, so slightly worrying how long it is taking. But maybe he is just standing his ground more than other people would? A poster earlier did mention that it is a case of crossing the t's and dotting the i's. Hope that is correct!

    The meeting v Birmingham was on the Sunday before the Bank Holiday….It was the only meeting I was able to attend this year :t:
