One of the worst away teams I saw at Scunthorpe this year. Gave in without a fight. The likes of Berwick, Birmingham, Redcar, Glasgow and Eastbourne all put up a much better fight. Edinburgh were only better than Kent and Newcastle. The cup is already decided. Better to get in the play-off final while the weather looks alright.

Novak and his clashes are going to be interesting. Think Glasgow’s strength in-depth is blighted by inconsistency, for me Jensen needs to be more consistent,Poole certainly have the advantage in heat leader strength and Basso looks a prospect.

It would make a great deal of sense to switch over the two meetings at Poole, as the second leg of the cup is a "dead rubber" (Pirates can't lose from a 5-point advantage, given Edinburgh are a poor away team) and if that got rained off on Friday, it wouldn't be as potentially problematic, given the poor weather scheduled also for next Saturday and Sunday. Get the play-off final in Wednesday while it's possible. Been saying they should swap them for about a week now! Playoffs should always come before KOC. Time for forecast for Friday to change yet.

MMX Events 101 Posted October 24, 2021 There is a travelodge next to the bus station that is handy for the Stadium. Definitely worth a try 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have judged on that one performance. We were poor in 2 play off matches at Ashfield too but scored points at many away tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What would you call Scunthorpes in that case? Edited October 24, 2021 by Mr Blobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted October 24, 2021 Or Poole could run Wednesday & Thursday if weather is bad for Friday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Thursday is Glasgow’s back up day if Tuesday gets called off, and Poole will want to try and keep the 2nd leg at Poole for as long as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 24, 2021 Forecast for Poole on Fridays isn’t bad. Risk of a few afternoon showers and a dry evening. Long way off yet though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
