TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted October 10, 2023 Hopefully this goes ahead on Wednesday as I’m getting my nails done on Thursday night. Who knows what will happen? Based on previous encounters at Wimborne Road, I think it would be wise to assume Glasgow will have zero reliance on Complin or Pijper, so it’s all on Harris, Basso, Tarasenko and Brennan to acquire at least 39 points between them. When was the last time a team won the league with a 16 year-old in the side from the start of the season? I know he’s 17 now, but Pijper seeing-out the full season is an incredible achievement, especially if they win the league. A bit of research has shown that a certain Tai Woffinden did it in 2007 with Rye House. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At most tracks I'd fancy them, but they've not been so great at Poole. Exciting lead for the neutrals, but Poole will be wishing it was less, Glasgow be wishing it was more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They really should have put this out of sight considering the start we made. Door slightly ajar, hopefully we can bang it wide open on Weds. Not going to be easy though. 12 minutes ago, topaz325 said: I can see Sheffield err. I mean Poole winning this ..... As I said to a Sheffield fan last night, we are not at the Sheffield level of comebacks and Glasgow second strings have better form than the Ipswich ones!

Gavan 5,050 Posted October 10, 2023 11 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: So Glasgow come down to Wimborne Road with a huge 14 point lead. Pirates fans can almost give out a sigh of relief that it’s not 22-24 points, as it was looking to be heading that way after heat 8. But like the champions they are, Poole rallied well and actually won the second half of the meeting by a couple of points. But make no mistake, 14 points is a huge lead and defendable. If Pirates don’t start on the front foot it could all be over by heat 11. But there is a chance. Glasgow are clear favourites and who can stop Bomber in the form he showed tonight? He rides Poole well and if he is backed up by Tarasenko and Basso it will be enough. We need all the boys to be on their best form straight from heat 1, like Glasgow were tonight. Can Pirates pull off Mission Impossible: Back From The Dead? Here is the childish troll again .........what a sad life to get your thrills out of trolling a speedway forum Anyways on to the meeting Poole huge favourites and will be a choke if they dont manage this The track will be ultra slick so no passing which is Pooles right as the home team......why make the track for Bomber and Basso real racers when you have gating tarts like Worrall and Lawson who in 2 meetings against Glasgow have only once been beaten by an opposing rider at home Lawson and Worrall should get 26 or 27 between them and Ben Cook only been beat twice so 9 from him is 36 of the points required Pooles reserves should get 11 minimum as Glasgows reserves are horrific at Poole so thats 47 leaves Zach and r/r to get 6 Id expect Poole to be in front on aggregate by heat 11 at the latest .........4-2 in heat 1......5-1 in heat 2...4-2 in heat 3 and then 4-2 in heat 4...........17-7 and a stroll from there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) I love the attempted reverse psychology on this forum and it’s coming from both parties here. You better hope neither sets of riders visits this place for inspiration because all they’ll find is their own fans writing them off.

Jaizer 2,864 Posted October 10, 2023 Lee I'm sure had couple decent meetings at Poole in 2022. His last meeting I believe had blown his new engine in first heat or night before. I don't think 5/6 points should be beyond him tomorrow. Top 4 average 8 and we could go close. Brennan key for me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted October 10, 2023 If Harris, Brennan, Vissing, Complin and Pijper, plus Richie Escobar as a guest, can score 37 points at Poole in August, then a Glasgow side including Basso and Tarasenko can win the meeting. I’m genuinely buzzing to watch this tomorrow night, but I just hope some people are exaggerating how poor Wimborne Road can be. It’s the grand final; people want to be entertained, like last night.
