There is passing at Poole, not much as Redcar, Glasgow or Scunny. But there is. Actually Ben Barker showed how it was with Plymouth. TJ passed when quarter of a lap behind after first half lap. Quite a few passes are happening on the 4th bend whether it be round the outside or a cutback (Ben Cook good at the cutback).

Well there will definitely be some passing this time then! He was good at Poole last season tbf (a lot of guest bookings as well) not sure what is so different this year. Although he is the only person so far I have seen go into the air fence on the practice laps after the parade! Still not sure how he managed that unless something got jammed.

Barker would have been top performer from memory. Maybe I am being a bit harsh. He has got 5 and 6 for Plymouth at number 3. Now one of those rides will be a H13. So can't see him getting more than 5 imo. Plus since then he has been sacked by Plymouth and not done much for Birmingham so far. ?

He trying to do the scoreboard pressure thing that Scott Mitchell always talks about! Although Starke at 5 is pretty funny. Bet the reserve finishes ahead of him.

Like... Don't you dare even think about bringing your own food in.. Although Christina Turnball brings her cakes in for the Poole fans who sit in the front of the refs box in case she makes a controversial decision, so if a ref is allowed...

Haha. I like the Saints shirt but a bit controversial with some Saints fans! He is very welcome to support Poole, he'll have a team in the playoffs that way

Sure I read somewhere it is on 27th.

Looks like Dougy and Sam are on a joint holiday. It's a tough life

Oh, wish I was there to have seen that! Esp considering where the refs box is

1st of never

How obvious did you make it though? I don't think the food outlets have anything to do with the management, so maybe not bothered about fans bringing their own food. Not like they search anyone's bag or anything when they go in.

Half 6 til 7pm? Sure they say everyone has to leave the pits at 7pm.

I'll take another draw like last season and Glasgow fans get an extra race. See I think of everyone

Oh I forgot about that one! I was thinking of interviews when he was a Poole rider in 2022.

Hmm, I have also stood at the start line at Eastie (only once mind you) and whatever gates Eastie were on in each race, extra 'prep' went on there.

Any betting Sheffield try to run it on a Weds when Zach, Steve and Sam wouldn't be available! Though Poole don't have a meeting on 30th August atm, not sure about Oxford.

King spoke about it, was just a fly away comment like Lawson's the other day, last season on either a Pirate cast episode or the GB podcast. Can't remember exactly which one as listen/watch both fairly regularly. Edit - have a strange feeling it was after Glasgow visited then too lol

We will see I guess but they will proritise the playoffs first at that time of year. November here we come again!

Bit ironic then as the other day Scunny and Redcar fans said they can ride on whatever day they want.

Wolves saying in press release it is a holiday. I thought it was to do with WC week before I read it. 'There’s no facility available for Ryan Douglas or Steve Worrall though who are simply on holiday.'

Okay, let's take Steve for example. He rode for his Polish team today and apparently he is riding for Poole on Weds as that was always down in the fixture list. So a 2 day holiday, which unless it is at home both days would be travelling. Dougy more understandable as he not riding again til Friday. Or maybe not, he could still have a 3 day holiday after riding for Wolves on Mon! I'm prob bring mean but they do have Nov, Dec,Jan, Feb to have any holidays!!

If they can't be bothered to race, why should fans be bothered to attend? Will affect Sheffield the most, can only see the die hard Sheffield fans attending now. So they will lose money for sure imo.

Riding for Polish team today but can't ride for Wolves tomorrow? So just a two day holiday then!

Okay, so 2 day holiday then as I see he rode in Polish league today

Umm so Steve can't ride for Wolves on Monday cos he is on holiday, so is he riding in this or not? @Skidder1
