Mike0310 660 Posted September 23, 2023 I’m no Poole fan but regardless of what people think of the fords and middleditch they always get there team building right every season the top division need teams like Poole in it Poole do not need the top division so. Credit where credit is due and if they win it again it’s up to all our teams to beat them and at the moment we are all found wanting. So no grumbling from me if they reach the top step again they obviously deserve it. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinmauger 584 Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Concensus in our wee group was "Poole blown it shouda never picked Scunny, who after drawing at Poole will likely win by 5-6 and so make final", but thought Poole deserved to win. As already said baffling Scunny TM deployed Ablitt (who scored 0 at that point) for Palm Tree in ht11 and not put PT off 15m: "you can do this at least beat Thompson, maybe chase down Lawson but try to take Kemp through also", maybe a 3-3 or 2-4, instead 1-5 to Poole. Maybe Palm Toft wasn't up for it, but he's a full race tryer who wouldn't have given given up, thought Thompson rode well all nite anyway, not like the rider who'd struggled at Scunny earlier in the season. Overall, not my teams so not overly-fussed on the result, but it's speedway, saw some good racing and so I still enjoyed it. Shame about Havvy's mum...

Wasn't for the want of trying. Wonder if Poole riders got told about Simon Lambert saying they sunk the pirates ship? Anyway the weather could send Scunny through yet. See what happens at Edinburgh today. Edited September 23, 2023 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are you talking about? Do you really think that Poole will not race Edinburgh,home or away. Although the weather forecast shows a 60% chance of a heavy shower on Wednesday at 4pm then at 7pm 40% of a light shower but no other mention of rain the rest of the day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,354 Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Forcast on Weds is for a bit of rain between 1600 - 1900. But im sure the boys who do the track will keep an eye on the forcast . Anyway back to last night. Anders out for 9 days manadatory as everybody now knows, after being literally shoved off his bike, and we wish him well . Meanwhile 6 man Pirates steam on. Anybody seen Trackprat ? No, perhaps hes gone for a long walk of a short pier, bless Edited September 23, 2023 by Starman2006 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I the only one that listens to the commentary lol. Cut off date for groups is end of Sept. So if gets called off Weds and can't do it by next Saturday then away team gets the points. But hopefully weather will be okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it did rain off on Wednesday, as long as we win at Edinburgh on Friday, it will be fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They av always done so in the past and when an actual qualification place is at stake I'm sure they will do the same again. I seem to remember standing on the terraces in November for the past 2 seasons! Edited September 23, 2023 by lbw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes so if Edinburgh away is rained off we get the points and if its not rained off we still should get the points so no worries . 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if both Edinburgh fixtures (home and away) are rained off will there be a virtual super heat to decide on the aggregate point(s)?

What a load of nonsense it is, if it is rained of Wednesday, it should be a point each. If ever there was a time for track covers, this is it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
