Starman2006 2,356 Posted September 5, 2017 Since the history of the playoffs, has a team qualified who has lost 5 on the bounce at home, one with a scoreline of 30-60? Not that I can recall. 5 losses at home usually means bottom of the league. But the resilience of this Poole team has suprised everyone, and the reason they go into the playoffs as the complete underdogs, and the team neutrals will be supporting en masse. Poole Pirates. 'The Peoples Team". You can almost hear the roar, "Come on Pirates", from hundreds of thousands of lounges, parlours, sitting rooms and bars right now. Very good Steve..

Since the history of the play offs has a team that was red hot favourites qualified by limping into 4th place? Not that I can recall. 5 losses at home usually means bottom of the league but Poole ride against a few teams at the right time like Somerset away, and to the surprise of absolute nobody they held on to 4th. They go into the play offs as the complete underdogs due to the promotion getting things badly wrong over the season, and the neutrals will be supporting the other 3 sides en masse. Poole Pirates 'Nobody's team'. You can almost hear the laughter from hundreds and thousands of lounges, parlours, sitting rooms and bars. Just thought I would edit your trolling post with one of my own which I think is more accurate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) I rest my case. Gavan you never disappoint.

EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted September 5, 2017 Gavan, I grew up with Shov. He's a good lad but was always good at winding people up. Sometimes he didn't even know he was doing it. He could be infuriating at times, but at the end of the day, he was a decent bloke. ( despite swapping the Red of Swindon for the blue of Poole when he was around 18 I guess) Despite your rants about him knowing nothing, he knows his speedway inside out. What he does love, is to dangle that little rod of his to see how many tiddlers he can catch. He does it I'm sure out of boredom at times. But over the last year or so, he's finding he's getting more tugs on that rod of his than ever before. Have a little think before you react next time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
