Shaleshifter 177 Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) All being well its business as usual next Wednesday for the Pirates after this week's postponement due to stadium staff having to self isolate after the stadium manager testing positive to covid . Hopefully both Ben Cook and New signing Benjamin Basso will be part of the proceedings. Scunthorpe have in their ranks two riders (Adam Ellis and Thomas Jorgensen) who will definitely pose a threat and they both ride Poole well. I believe Josh Mcdonald who is currently riding at reserve was due to join the Pirates last year until Covid-19 brought the season to a halt before a wheel had been turned. It will be interesting to see how he goes. Simon Lambert had a good evening tonight at home to Redcar but I don't recall him doing much at Wimborne Road In the past. Tero Aarnio I can't remember if has ridden at Poole or not and I don't think Jordan Palin has ever ridden here either. I will stick my neck out and I think Poole should win this encounter but everyone needs to be on the pace. Thoughts?

Reading the Scunthorpe programme tonight Godfrey says Jorgensen has commitments in Denmark so have a feeling it will be r/r for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Easy Pirates win. If it’s R/R for Jorgensen it could be Poole v 7 rides Adam Ellis. Edited August 14, 2021 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScunnyDan 335 Posted August 14, 2021 Should be a convincing home win really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he has ridden Poole once before when guesting for someone like KL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucifer sam 3,953 Posted August 14, 2021 Can people pay on the turnstile at Poole. I need to add a new item to the Scunny website, advising them to buy tickets for Plymouth by online in advance, but have Poole gone back to normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted August 14, 2021 Not many guest options available at 6.9 or below. On current form, maybe Starke but who would guest at Poole with, probably, not a decent pay day. Best to give our riders the extra rides & practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trackrat 444 Posted August 14, 2021 So after a cheating covid story hopefully Poole have there full 7 on track and don't have to make up any more stories to abandon in case they lose. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
