lbw 881 Posted September 14, 2023 I awake in me usual b&b in Bournemouth already sipping a flat white coz I got a Nescafé coffee machine in me room Pirates, a disappointing night at the office sadly to lose a point but fair play to the Scorpions who proved they had a powerful sting in their tail ! Drew, as they did the meeting (well in old money), certainly turned in a rider of the night performance which came back to haunt us. Ben felt the pain of the result more than anyone but the gutsy fighter got up & raced on, who knows how vital his 8pts cud prove to be. Could have been much worse if he was ruled out with injury both this result and going forward. Hope he wakes up today with no broken bones and he feels better soon. Douglas did what Douglas does at the Pirate Ship but at least Lawson lowered his colours in heat 10. Crikey didn't we welcome that one! So let's reflect, things could've been a lot worse but we have 2 points on the board when it was close to being a doughnut & a rider out injured. The Pirates fight on so don't rule us out! C'mon the Boyzzzzz P.s the flat white was very nice 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,903 Posted September 14, 2023 See a lot of talk about the track. Only caught first 5/6 heats but didn't think was anything up with it. Passing in heats 1 and 2, people trying different lines. Did it cut up later on or just go slick/ one line 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
