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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 4, 2023 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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?

TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited October 4, 2023 by TheWellBehavedWorrall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lbw 869 Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) 48 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: 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. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcuvz3bch#?date=2023-10-06 1st LEG IS NOW ON SUNDAY on Glasgow website 6pm start Edited October 4, 2023 by lbw 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or if the 1st leg is a big win to Glasgow then he could be off to Rome before the 2nd leg happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
