Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 23, 2023 Two well balanced teams though i know nothing about butcher. Leicester looking a bit stronger and Harris loves the Poole track. Will pirates lift our second trophy of the season? Should be a good night of racing weather permitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poole keith 911 Posted October 23, 2023 Please let's not try and build this into something it definitely isn't,it's an end of season challenge nothing more.probably 80% of fans I spoke with on sat thought it was meaningless, unfortunately there are a few regular posters on here whose posts are totally unrepresentative of the majority of poole fans.Weve had a good season and am very confident that a super competitive team will be assembled for next season (cooks would be top of shopping list of every other team in the league) 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Poole keith,restored my faith in humanity, agree it's meaningless and you will see a completely different bomber than when he was riding for his team in a meaningful match,8 doubt he will even get double figures but then again he is a racer. Poole riders probably on cash incentives in a desperate effort to get them to put in a performance. Poole will still be a strong team next season with 3 hleaders in Lawson and the 2 cooks with hagon and Perry at 6and 7,who are probably the best 2pters available atm.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 23, 2023 PooleKeith, you might not be arsed to support the final, but many still do. If you are not bothered so be it, but it’s the final of a competition that was run with all teams involved and is rightly going to be run to its conclusion, albeit late. Most slagging it off have no interest other than to put the boot in, while their teams packed up for the season in some cases many weeks ago. Poole are still running with big crowds attending. Be sure many do not share your view and another big crowd will be present on Wednesday, weather permitting, in the hope of seeing Pirates lift our second trophy of the season. Only then should we go into the winter and start discussing who will or will not ride for Poole in 2024. It says something when Poole fans feel disappointed this year, when in truth we have made every team final available. It shows the level we expect and hold ourselves to.

Hopefully he will be back for us next season. Loads of potential there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
