Fantastic wot ur doing to get there, that's hardcore support I'll be down for the 2nd leg, all booked in. This is goin to be a truly amazing finale to the season. C'mon the Pirates Where will you be in the stadium because I know your local track is Leicester, I have been there a few times and I don't think we have ever met although I have met Steve there on a couple of occasions.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted November 1, 2021 What an absolute utter pain that this meeting coincides with COP26. Half the cities tourist sites are shut. A large area is cordoned off from the general public, and everywhere will be packed out making for a not very pleasurable experience. Might get to film a protest riot or something though. I suppose the best way to get to the stadium is by train to Ashfield, which is quite regular. Return gets us in at 10.25 meaning a rush to the bus station or a curry if one is still open for customers at 10.30. Mr Singhs closes at 10.30pm. Chaakoo Indian cafe is open until midnight and is central. We can take a taxi from there to the airport for allegedly £17. Will the taxis be allowed to hike their prices? Not officially but Sods law they will. All we need now is a cracking meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure George Square will be the hub for all the protests, might be few Ned's having a go at them, usually a good laugh. There's loads of buses might be more regular depending what roads are closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully we will have a cracking meeting, COP26 is a pain in the ass for everyone , even those of us that live outside Glasgow ( I am a mile away from the airport) I sit in centre stand under referee box, will say hello if I see you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For us I think all going to depend if nowak can score in the away leg. Looked like an NL wobbler both away matches he's raced so far Ashfield has a lot more banking on the bends than Poole. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too right, bend 2 is awesome for drive! Thing is tho I'm gonna change me nickname for it unless I use it as irony.... The Waves of Wimborne Road..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted November 1, 2021 Any confirmed news on whether Jack Thomas is still guesting for Poole - after some on here reckoned his November average no longer allows him to (despite no average for him appearing on the updated BSPL website)?

Zach lodging at Middlo's along with brother Ben means he's been as much a part of the Poole team as riding for Plymouth with the added advantage that he has also partnered Ben Basso at reserve several times already.
