Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Well done to Scunthorpe, wanted it more than Poole. Tracks the same for both teams so don’t want to hear the riders moaning about the track. Get on with what’s in front of you. Have a feeling Scunthorpe have this for the taking and a place in the grand final.

Jaizer 2,897 Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Good effort scunny. Always thought strange decision from Poole given my my teams form round WR and their riders preference to Redcar. Still see Poole winning at scunny but what an opportunity for them Edited September 13, 2023 by Jaizer . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You kind of feel its in their hands now, winning both home meetings should be within their capabilities and I'd expect both these sides to win at Armadale.

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted September 13, 2023 This play off lark is enough to p. off the most dedicated of fans. Looking at he results so far you can see the top two teams in the CL not even competing in the p.off final. A completely contrived finish to the season. Still might me the last ever CL p.offs as the CL may no longer exist next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWellBehavedWorrall 306 Posted September 13, 2023 What an effort from Scunthorpe. I’ve just seen the score on the Speedway Updates site. That’s a shocker for Poole. That won’t have been in the script, having finished top of the league and having the pick of the bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,441 Posted September 13, 2023 First of all well done to Scunthorpe who battled all night. I have said it a few times but why in earth did the Poole management chose Scunthorpe over Redcar? Couldn’t believe it when the choice was made nd thought they had seen something that I had missed. Alas no and tonight Pirates have made themselves a mammoth task now to get through to the final. Did they not see Douglas is virtually unbeatable at WR? Again tonight he proved to be the best riser around our track. Almost untouchable. And they had Kemp at reserve who did as expected. Throw in an unfit Zach, and Ben taking a real purler and the risk was there. To be fair Scunthorpe seemed to be wanting it more. Battled all night and were faster out of the traps. Making the track slick today didn’t help. Where was all the dirt from a couple of weeks ago? Full credit to Scunthorpe. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
