I do think they've scheduled the fixtures well too, always on the go and never any huge gaps in the fixtures for them, unlike a lot of the opposition, glasgows lack of meetings has been ridiculous I have never known Poole have a long gap between meetings. Think three weeks once a few seasons ago with a gap then rainoff. Never, ever 7 weeks. Club isn’t run like that. No meeting this week though with Redcar in the K O Cup next on the 12th Oct. Guessing following week for the final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike0310 660 Posted October 2, 2022 I have to agree with a previous poster Poole are a juggernaut at the moment nigh on unstoppable love them or loath them you have to admire them and I wish my team could be a successful as them well done Poole fair play to you. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope the Finals are a bit closer. Tigers were beaten before they started tonight anyway - maybe some Allied taxis will be required before next year ? Really thought they would have done a lot better than that though. Poor show over both legs hard to take for fans. We have no excuses we didn’t perform, and Poole did, out of this year's team I would keep Danyon, Tom, and Ben but I don’t think Basso will be back. Connor needs a season away ok at home but not great away. Build around Hume and Brennan and take it from there. Edited October 2, 2022 by Gazc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Havvy said first two heat decisions fired Pirates up to win tonight. Thought Ben and Zach Cook were both excellent. Zach’s pass of Craig Cook was brilliant and both rode great. Drew improved as the meeting went on. Other top three all did their job. Glasgow unlucky to be missing Hume and Ostergaard, though the latter was a choice I believe. The difference between the teams was Stark(E) Pun intended. The Poole team just wanted it more and it showed from the 1st heat to the 30th. Favourites for the title and league toppers Leicester will have to be on their best form to win the title. Obviously they are more than capable and the final should be an absolute thriller. Poole on 19th with Leicester on the 22nd? Bring it on! Hope not. Bournemouth are at home to Southampton on the 19th. Might affect the attendance going head to head with the south coast derby. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completing all your fixtures at the beginning of August and then trying to be competitive in the Play Offs in late September is almost impossible. One wonders if Leicester will be in a similar boat for the final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re Presentations, guess they have to get donne b4 cry baby Brennan gets his van loaded again and leaves his team mates to it. Wouldn't be surprised if they flogged him to BV. You docile prick the bike hit him full on ffs give your head a wobble 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see how they can have it later than 19th as I am sure the weather is likely to intervene! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also Leicester have been riding in ko cup against us, so had more recent meetings than Glasgow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We know the sports not what is what but teams basically stopping mid august and then starting again in October is just crazy. It needs sorting via the promoters before next season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why not run the Play Offs in August? No break after the league fixtures and more likely to be in good weather with potentially better crowds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be far too sensible, but we live and hope they can hopefully resolve the unenforced break we had this season.
