What is the track at Redcar like?? I mean Redcar are 4th in the table so must have a decent home record! Bearing on mind what you two have said i'll go for within 6 points either way

Danyon Hume officially a Sheffield rider now. So only to decide whether to stick with Batch or not, which I think they will?

I see that Sheffield have finally signed Danyon Hume. About bloomin' time!!

Near top of the table clash! Redcar have a strength in depth team, so we will have our work cut out in this one. Benjamin Basso's first meeting, so be interesting to see how he gets on.

Prob too short notice. Broc's 3 last rides were as good as most away no1's tbh. Just needed to get used to the track first. In his second ride he isn't far off getting second.

He's riding at Redcar on Friday, so do calm down.

No it isn't. It's your opinion not fact! He hasn't even ridden here yet. I think Nic Klindt knows more about him than you do

Impressed with Palin, looked very good tonight. Broc also good after first two rides.

1. Who has predicted 70? Haven't read that anywhere. 2. Not one Poole fan has said we are going to 'waltz' the league. 3. Guests have been good, only thing that is truthful in that post!

Yes, I did mention Howarth but thought he might struggle riding at no1 but just checked and he top scored for Leicester at Poole, so might have been a good choice. But does he still live in Manchester and might have been too short notice? All work to the same team average. Scunthorpe have a decent team, just suffering from injuries and a missing rider.

I had a quick look and only Kennett and Kerr (they have both ridden for Poole in the past) that may have been chosen above. But Kennett has had a bad reaction to his covid jab and not sure if Kerr is riding abroad?? So on the face of it Nicol is a pretty decent guest and luckily he agreed as the rest would have been Howarth, Wells, Thomsen etc. Which are okay but would be tough for them at no1 as probably have 5 rides with the r/r as well.

As a rule americans do tend to do well at Poole though! So might be good for 7-8 points.

Unless you were thinking of Luke Becker who got 16+1 at reserve for Wolves at Poole in 2019??!

That would make more sense!

Ah okay. Remember him not coming down to Poole when riding for KL in 2019 a couple of times?? So thought he had a problem with the track!

Can't be. Looked back through 2018 and 2019 on updates and can't find his name! Unless it was away from home!! Maybe it was at Wolves haha.

How come TJ isn't riding, did he get injured?

Was looking forward to the presentation! Hope he isn't too badly hurt. If he isn't riding tomorrow then the best away no1's at Poole have probably been Masters and Nicholls. Also Pickering was good too.

Not good. Hope he's okay. Batch 9+1 at Kent tonight. Was on a max after his 2 first heats. No excuses imo. See what he does Thursday.

Probably! lol But wasn't trying to start an argument, it was a rhoetical question tbh! I remember Tai turned it down when they tried to put him in one of the qualifying rounds when they did that. Was a few years ago. If you keep turning down invites then eventually you stop getting invited! Are you being sexist? Another rheotical question btw.

Okay. If he can score his average then, that would be great!

Typical. Gets invited doesn't want to. Doesn't get invited now does want to. Is he a child??!

No such thing as a wrong opinion though.

Deserves another guest booking after doing so well at Newcastle. He got 4+1 for Plymouth at Poole when riding at reserve. So if he could score similar again that would be good.

Trouble is he is doing well for Kent, so getting zero for Sheffield the other night was strange as the leagues are pretty close together now. I thought it was cos he got sacked.
