There is no way Poole will give up the 2nd leg after last season!

PS.Why would Lawson be in heat 14?

I forgot to add that the second leg will take place on Christmas Eve. Poole, as you said, don’t want to surrender the second leg, but the Allied Vehicles weather machine has caused 19 postponements of the first leg.

Lawson will be out in heat fourteen as a tactical substitute. I also forgot to add that Complin will lap him while smoking a cigar.

Agree with Mr shovellar here. Poole pirates will be very race rusty , and will not be happy in Scottish winter conditions on what will be a very heavy track prepared to suit the Glasgow team. They have an air of complacency about them and were  lucky IMO to even get into the final after nearly losing at home to the scorpions. 

Fancy the Tarasenko Tigers to maul the pirates on aggregate.

The first leg will be at Poole and the second will be Glasgow. We’ve got a weather machine up here, so we’ll force a second leg at home.

I, for one, cannot wait to see Lee Complin perform another erotic sex dance on the back straight, having just lapped Richard Lawson in heat fourteen to secure the title.

Ah yes the weather machine set on wet wetter or wettest .Complins sex dance,not for me but if it floats your boat hey ho! :D.

So Poole will call off their home meeting on Wednesday? Even if it's bone dry? A meeting they've already sold tickets for?

Or will they make Glasgow race in the rain?

Poole are also at a disadvantage in the ‘Best Dressed’ category.

Glasgow’s team kevlars take anyone wearing them to an eight out of ten, minimum. Absolute Vogue.

Meanwhile, Poole are mixing navy and light blue, like they’ve gone; “Hi, Stevie Wonder. Can you design our kevlars?”

Sometimes, I worry that Poole prioritise points over appearance.

Pirates get second leg. Yes next Wednesday will be called off if the first leg hasn’t taken place.

First leg announced for this Friday, 6th October. Forecast is lousy so is it a ploy to get Poole all the way up there on a wasted journey? Pretty sure the travelling Pirates fans will be miffed if it’s called off having wasted some serious cash making the very long trip. Sundays forecast looks a lot better. Guess we will have to just wait and see. Expecting a sodden deep track just like last night if it goes ahead as planned.

Interesting. I would have thought that didn't make sense from a commercial point of view, but we shall see.

By the time the first leg is staged steve will have to come ashore with the catch .

Or if the 1st leg is a big win to Glasgow then he could be off to Rome before the 2nd leg happens.

That would be ridiculous considering we still got KO cup to fit in yet.

Pirates have priority on Joe.

There was a clash a couple of weeks back and Cubs had a guest.
