Come and find me on the first/second bend with the Poole fans, unless I see you first. Will be with my young daughter who has never been to a speedway meeting away from Poole. 

If she is not very tall I would edge towards the area on bend 1 without a roof.

King riding as a guest makes sense, a Birmingham win helps Redcar's hopes of finishing top!

Redcar have got NO chance of finishing top!

Oxford/Glasgow/Poole are the favourites!

King is riding as a guest because he's the best available option! (being dumped by Poole last season adds a bit of 'spice' ! :D )

Shov....with this in mind...you might want to re-consider your 'viewing' point! :D

I find bend 4 (steps) the best vantage point! albeit a bit 'cozy' at times and sunglasses are needed if the weather is kind!

P.s Forecast looks good for this evening!

Birmingham - 1 Danny King (Guest) 2 Stefan Nielsen 3 Troy Batchelor 4 Paul Starke 5 Justin Sedgmen (Capt) 6 Sam Hagon 7 Alfie Bowtell

Poole - 1 Richard Lawson 2 Anders Rowe 3 Ben Cook 4 Zach Cook  5 Steve Worrall (Capt) 6 Kyle Newman 7 Adam Roynon 

Looking at the line-up. I think I'm right in saying that out of the 14 riders. 9 have ridden for, or are riding for, Leicester, and you've got our manager as well. ;)

I think the spectator viewing is fabulous at Leicester!

If B'ham do fold, I would be tempted to travel and get my fix there!

Don't think  it adds any spice, Danny still loves us.

I bet he loves getting paid,:D more than he loves Poole! 

Danny's a competitor and I'm sure he'll be going all out to beat Lawson and co.

Zach Cook is the pick of the Poole team for me...he looked great when guesting earlier in the season.

OK so I'll stick my neck out a little for this one and suggest it will be a lot easier than many predict!

It will be interesting to see if Hagon can get the better of Adam....Hagon is improving with every outing and he fills me with optimism!

I'd have Bowtell and Newman on level terms.

Rowe/Cook will leave Nielsen/Starke in their wake.

King better than Lawson.

Worral/Batch evens...

Not sure how Ben Cook goes at PB (never seen him), but I do know that he wont have to be that good to beat Sedgemen!

Haha, yeah right! Can I have whatever your drinking please? :D

Ben Cook 13+3 and 8+1 last season. One score was at reserve and other at no4. Sure you can work out which is which!
