jbell1995 114 Posted September 4, 2022 For anyone who needs more concrete proof of the torrential rain the city is currently receiving: https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/heavy-rain-flash-floods-hit-7545827 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,329 Posted September 4, 2022 Plymouth will be looking to put together a strong national league select team together for the second leg at Wimborne Road as that will be the only available riders. All in the best interests of British speedway but not very good for getting a big attendance with a huge wage bill for that fixture, poole could well hit 70pts. Completely hollow victory but unfortunately that's how it's looking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t imagine advanced ticket sales are strong. Could just be tumbleweed on the terraces to witness the Mighty Pirates hand out the beating… Pirate Pride! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucky the meeting isn’t taking place tonight then. Plenty of time for track to dry. ‘The excuses coming from Devon will take some beating! One would think they don’t want to ride!

It’s not Poole’s fault that Plymouth have had all these injuries and self inflicted bans. Are we meant to go into the meetings giving Plymouth a 20 point headstart to even things up? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not Plymouth’s fault either,mind you Lawson did have a hand in putting mpt through the fence when we beat you at Wimborne Road. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) I am not falling for that one. The touted Plymouth lineup for Tuesday looks stronger than if they had no injuries. Edited September 4, 2022 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your lot came to ours, with no, Worrall, King, Lawson and minus a Cook. On the only night, many potential guests were unavailable, I’m not sure I’d be too excited about it. Or too proud of my promotion if they’d forced it to be that way. But, we’re all different… Hope you enjoy your night. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
