Fair play to him as Steve had a comfortable lead for 2 and a half laps. Last night was my first visit to Wimborne Road for 2 years and the track was much, much better than the last time I went. Josh was riding on the edge of the dirt and pulling out big strides, proving it's not a one line track and that passing is possible. A few getting caught out going too far into the deep stuff though. Although the scoreline was a bit one sided, Josh, Kye, & Paco gave it a good go, so it wasn't the bore fest that the scoreline suggests. More Sunday fixtures please!

I'd say it allows his team to be stronger (gets extra matches). For riders on 4-6 point averages, I can totally see how it would help them get a team spot the following season. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this and the D.Mail article are all part of the evidence, if needed, to support the Pirates future with the Council when the stadium availability comes into real focus!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Monarchs on a guaranteed minimum so just need to take it easy and let Poole have to dig deep to pay the Poole team. Bonus points back in the averages calculations for next season so can't even fiddle the averages. So it's a win/win for nearly all of us even if we get hammered.

Also, as this seasons rolling average has gone back up from 10 to 20, & in the Championship, there is only a maximum of 16 league meetings this year, ALL meetings should count. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
