Looked at flights to Bournemouth - they only fly from Edinburgh on a Thursday and Sunday. Could have caught that new train service down to London. Meant to be £30 return. Then Waterloo to Poole, every 30 mins, takes 2 hours 20. Train station 4 mins walk to stadium. Plenty of b&bs. Or fly down tomorrow for a mini break, returning on Thursday.

Interesting. No not for Glasgow or Edinburgh. Just Poole. We have to go Edinburgh, back to Poole, then a few days later all the way to Glasgow, then back to Poole. Big carbon footprint and knackered riders. Edited October 23, 2021 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not actually my point which was that in reference to your original post, for the League playoff final two leg tie only Poole have to travel up and down but somehow Glasgow don't need to travel up and down, and similarly for the ko cup final only Poole have to travel up and down but somehow Edinburgh don't need to travel up and down. Interesting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles of golden beaches, resteraunts, second biggest natural harbour in the world, Jurassic coast on our doorstep. And the biggest speedway club in the country. What’s not to like?

Interesting. Well even a simpleton could work out that Poole have to do it twice while the other clubs only have to do it once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted October 23, 2021 Need a better performance tonight than we did last night. As we’ll need around a 12 point lead imo if we want to have a chance of silverware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted October 23, 2021 Good luck to the Pirates today. With Middlo and several riders travelling up yesterday, it should be a good close meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
