lbw 869 Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) Looking at the table 1sr PIRATES raced 2 PTS 5..........2nd Scunthorpe raced 3 PTS 3 My calculation is PIRATES WIN the group with a home win over Edinburgh even if Scunthorpe win at Edinburgh. That will put us on 7 and Scunthorpe on 6 WITHOUT the need to win at Edinburgh! Hope Anders is back soon and not too badly hurt.

Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted September 22, 2023 I really didn’t expect that at all, I thought a Scunthorpe win by 6-8 tonight if they rode like they did at Poole! Heat one was the wrong decision and Mountain should have gone but then Allen’s engine going while on a 5-1 worked back in our favour. Well done to the Pirates! Hope Anders is ok, if his season is now done can we sign a replacement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oxford please so we can all go. No other reason. Glasgow too far to attend. Should be a classic battle between those two to get to the final. Wednesdays weather forecast looking a bit iffy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google has 90% chance of rain. But 5 days away so prob change 5/6 times before then! Better hope it's on, or do next Sat otherwise Edinburgh get the points apparently!

He was knocked off, hit the ground at speed, slid a long way then hit the fence awkwardly at speed. Didn’t get up and was placed in the ambulance. Danny Ford indicated to BSN it was his wrist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 617 Posted September 22, 2023 Congrats to poole the better team won. I thought Joe Thompson was the real match winner for Poole, didn't see him scoring paid 10. The track was on the slick side due to the rain around, times tended to be around a second slower than normal, probably didn't help Scunny. Some strange descions from godfrey why was kemp not in heat 8 instead of Ablitt? Why didn't Palm toft go of 15m, surely a better option than Ablitt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the track walk Lambert said the track looked fantastic and that Godfrey had spent some money on new shale. Not sure why Kemp didn’t get heat 8 but he was poor tonight and a shadow of the rider he was at Poole last Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
