Still think Pirates would have won but certainly could have been a lot closer. Sounds like a decent meeting, Poole are very strong at home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair play to the Bearz though. They kept Poole honest early on. Edited August 16, 2023 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Well that was a very good nights entertainment. Had the lot. Some brilliant passing by our boys, lots of very close and aggressive riding, spills where everyone walked away and a superb interview with Darcy Ward during the interval and more intimately at the press conference afterwards. The winning margin would have been wider but for Ben Cook losing a chain when we’ll clear, and the ref allowing Redcar some outrageous rollers which he let go. A very big crowd again were well entertained. Next up Edinburgh on Sunday afternoon at 5pm. Pirates go top of the league tonight. On another note, with Steve Worrall riding Cardiff, it gives perhaps Ben Cook a run out at the pairs at Oxford the night before?

Thank goodness I'm back in my grandstand seat on Sunday and the rest of the season. Having said that, there were some first timers amongst the sponsors guests - adults and teenagers- who so thoroughly enjoyed the evening they are paying to come back Sunday v Edinburgh. Job done!

It was very interesting to see Joe’s dad offering the meeting sponsors an opportunity to sit on Joe’s bike for photos, even moving it out of the pit bay to make it easier for snaps. Then joining the recovery team for Kyle Newman’s bike after the heat 10 crash and finally having what looked like a serious chat with Matt Ford towards the end of the meeting. All coincidences of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All coincidences of course. Well see what happens. Think he will be fine at Poole after a few meetings. Hasn't ridden it before tonight this season. Last time would have been playoff final last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roynon is stronger than Joe T, so either use guests till he is back or sign Joe on a temporary contract, but I wouldn't drop Roynon unless his season was over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
