Pinny 2,536 Posted October 11, 2023 Glasgow signing Tarasenko on a 5.00 has been a huge factor as well as Harris being unbeatable. I have no preference to either team and it was a masterstroke signing from Glasgow getting him, but whoever is responsible for writing the rule allowing Tarasenko to drop down on a 5.00 needs to be looked at. That said, not good enough from Pooles top two either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He scored 6 tonight from his programmed rides … and 9 from 5 in the home leg….. that’s not a 9 average performance The Poole mafia will say it was and Edinburgh fans but in the final Pooles top riders haven’t shown up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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? Not reverse psychology at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to be thinking of a certain American signing for a club a while back to win the title.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, congratulations to Glasgow. Indeed.....it was Glasgow 181 Oxford 179 over the four legs. And all four matches were crackers....don't thinking there was a spanking amongst them. But alas Glasgow did edge it, and they've gone on to win the title. Congratulations Glasgow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted October 11, 2023 Massive congratulations to Glasgow what a performance over the 2 legs, well deserved. They turned up and wanted it, sadly we didn’t show much of that spirit tonight apart from Ben Cook. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
