No you cannot win every meeting and we know that. Lawson is flying and the main reason we kept it close. We dont have any divine right to beat anyone but I still think this team is capable of winning the play offs, certain riders need to be better but come the play offs they will be I am sure and we will still be the team to beat, that does not mean we will win but we have as good a chance as everyone else in the league.

As you rightly say , Stars can not afford to lose at home tomorrow, but I really fear that Sheffield will win. 

Poole didn't win every meeting last season but still won every trophy.😇

Rough translation of a post on twitter from Doyley’s polish team: ”During the Orlen Oil GP of Poland in his 4th start Jason Doyle fell on the track. The initial diagnosis is a hip injury. We do not yet know how serious the injury is or how long the competitor will be out of competition. The entire community of Włókniarz Częstochowa is keeping their fingers crossed for Jason!” https://x.com/ckm_wlokniarz/status/1924025659631767931?s=46   really hope it’s not as bad a looked. All thoughts with him.   

I thought that was what pirates of Poole was saying when he said "no disrespect to Scunthorpe, Edinburgh and Berwick but we are stronger than them and should beat them". You cannot take any team for granted especially on their own track unless you think you are superstars. I was pointing out that as far as I was concerned Scunthorpe had a better record in the BSN series qualifiers than Poole by winning 2 of the 4 matches whereas Poole won 1 and drew 1 of their 4 matches. If you say we have a good chance of winning then that is completely different to saying we "should beat them". You cannot win every meeting you know.

The club says every year that they aim to build competitive teams. I’m not sure what’s wrong with that. Beyond some good natured derby ribbing I wouldn’t say either Scottish side gets too big for their boots as I think you’re implying?
