He did ride for us a few years ago but his form hasn't been great lately in either league but I understand your misgivings about Etheridge who didn't score many last night either but has been better recently, personally I would have thought the most reliable option would be Ruml who rides the Poole track well and has never let anyone down when guesting. It is a tricky one as Danyon was going very well and will be missed.

And Craig Cook came third in the British Final so can't say his inactivity has done him much harm.

I would have thought Etheridge or Ruml would have been better as Starke hasn't been at his best lately.

I doubt that would happen, even if he's recovered it would be a massive after being out so long.

Just don't see that myself, I think Leicester have better riders overall and they will bounce back. This team did top the league table, one bad result doesn't mean that they are a terrible team now.

Because Poole fans responded to others.

Poole fans have only responded to others. Back to the topic, I disagree I think Leicester will be back to form over the two legs and win comfortably.

So what fencing incident involved Edinburgh or Leicester riders?

So you are again talking about two riders who have no relevance on a Edinburgh v Leicester thread.

Poole posters have only commented on this thread in response to others.

This is an Edinburgh v Leicester thread and some see the need to bring up the MPT /Lawson racing incident that happened weeks ago.

Because the Poole haters involve us on every thread.

Last night aside, Leicester have had a very good season, Joe Thompson was in the main body of the team earlier in the season so he must have had a better average than Dan, Dan had a very bad night last night at Poole too considering how well he rode at reserve when Leicester won at Poole earlier in the season.

Yes but until last night you could argue we had a better team last season apart from the the Cooks who were awful at Leicester last season. They have improved alot. Incredible performance from Ben.

Can’t see thay happening myself but playoffs are more important.

Yes but that is exactly why they didn't pick us!

I don't think Glasgow will fold like Leicester did, Glasgow will be a lot tougher and Leicester will have to be better against Edinburgh.

There will be 3 Cooks in the playoffs!

Great result, certainly didn't expect that especially as Leicester had their full team.

You seem to know a lot about it, I don't know anything about him running to any Management Committee. You certainly seem to have a grudge against Danny, don't know what he has done wrong personally.

When you look at the teams it seems obvious that there won't be much between them overall, Danny King had a poor night last time Leicester were at Wimborne Road too, obvious weak links are Ablitt and Joe Thompson so Zach will have to be somewhere near his best, I believe the turning point at Leicester was Kemp and Zach getting a 5-1 in heat 14. This meeting could go either way but I think and hope we can edge it overall.

He laughs it off mostly as we all do when asked, most fans don't hate only the select few on here.

Well no one likes to be hated or even disliked but we can't help how people feel about us, the damage was done years ago, nothing to do with Danny but he has had to carry the burden.

Hume is at reserve now so they have to use a guest for him if he isn't fit.

Ablitt has struggled all season but we all knew he would, maybe Connor Coles would have been a better option but Nathan does pick up the odd point and has improved. Kemp is frustrating as he clearly has ability as shown in heat 14 last night and in heat 14 at Leicester but why he has to wait until heat 14 for a decent ride I don't know. Zach got a reasonable score at Leicester, a track he hasn't scored well at in the past,he has been better lately in general so don't see him as a worry.
