That would have been some race, Allen slowing to allow Sedgmen past, so Sedgmen then slows to allow Allen back into 3rd, Douglas spots this & allows Worrall to pass lol!

One of the few bright lights at Peterborough this season so hopefully the progress continues. But 16 one week followed by 4/5 the next, is better than 4/5 every week (which is more consistent).

Essex 67 Posted May 25, 2023 3 hours ago, lisa-colette said: Thought Rob Godfrey's comments tonight were quite interesting. Saying he begged Drew Kemp to come to Scunny and also that Poole tried to sign Kemp when Jack Thomas got injured and he said no to that too. Also sounded like if Rowe wasn't at Poole they would have tried to sign him and also mentioned 'other pieces of a jigsaw'. So am assuming more changes after 28 days are up? Said Tom Brennan wouldn't return his calls about guesting tonight. Well if we get an 8 point win after everyone riding just okay, then not too worrying imo. Was out tonight so couldn't watch the stream and well done to Scunthorpe for pushing the pirates all the way not such a cakewalk some thought it would be but if Tom Brennan allegedly didn't answer his phone maybe he didn't want to drive to Poole and earn a few quid ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted May 25, 2023 In an 'underwhelming' meeting - aside from the imperious Douglas - all Pirates scored solidly if not to the usual double figures for most. Track conditions certainly didn't help after a few hot dry sunny days. Moving on......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simonc 3 Posted May 25, 2023 I do think we need some consistency in the track preparation, we have no real home advantage at the moment as it seems to be different every week. The usual outside line was totally missing last night. Both Ben and Zach looked to have the speed to pass but the lines were just not there to let them pull off the moves. Not sure if our regular track man is back yet or if it is a combination of a few things and maybe need some fresh track material again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would have though Tom and Glasgow would want the practice as he isn't great at Poole. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hagonshocker 1,956 Posted May 25, 2023 Does anyone know the two Poole 'fans' that constantly bang on about Steve Worrall on Twitter? Holy s**t it's constant...last year it was picking Ablett , gets me that despite all the constant success Pirates have they are never satisfied!! Probably clear up this year too but I imagine they won't notice being too busy slagging Worrall off 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonds85 700 Posted May 25, 2023 I really don't understand all of this hate for Steve? Aye, he might not be going through a good patch at the minute but he's still a hell of a rider on his day, he has experience on all of the tracks, he's the captain and who the hell else are ya gonna bring in on that average who will do better? He's doing good for Wolverhampton and this is probably the lowest his form has been for years in the Championship... He'll come good and start riding like the Steve of last year again I'm sure of it... Poole has an incredibly strong side right the way through the 1-7 so I don't think they should worry too much about his slight lack of form as of late. From his days at Newcastle he was one of the leagues best and I was gutted to see him leave, I would have had him as my number 1 every single time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have had debates with both especially over the Ablitt comments last season as I am not comfortable with anyone under the age of 23ish getting comments like that on SM, unless it is constructive. But I have decided to just let it go now, they are allowed their opinion and one of them goes to a hell of a lot of away meetings, he loves it at Glasgow. 6 minutes ago, Diamonds85 said: I really don't understand all of this hate for Steve?

Most of the people on here saying last night we should have kept Danny aren't Poole fans though. I know FB has been vocal over the winter about he thinks it is the wrong decision but his is definitely not hate, just prefers Danny I think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,035 Posted May 25, 2023 I assume you mean these two @hagonshocker . I just roll my eyes at it now. I think most Poole fans do as well, we are well used to it! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
