All the Glasgow heat leaders have had good nights at Poole, over both meetings i would say they probably just about have the edge but as you say it could go either way, what you can say is they are all going well at the moment. I think it will be two very close meetings and it could come down to the wire.

I fully expect them to win but not by much, Pirates to be in self preservation mode, If Hans wants to do a dirty Nicki, move out of his way!

Teams should take more care of their riders!

Part of me wants us to win just to annoy him!

No one would expect them to make it easy but it would need it to be a very strange meeting for Poole not to get 31 points. Most neutral observers may want a miracle, I hope it is a good meeting with lots of passing and I hope Plymouth make a fight of it although realistically it should be a walk in the park for the Pirates.

Lisa may have more idea on the reasons than you think. Personally I have no idea!

Can't see the overall result depending on that one race result so probably not that important whether King won it or not.

Can’t see a problem getting 31 points myself but you never know.

I think Jye is better than those at the moment, having some good meetings for Belle Vue.

I think Hume would be more of a problem for us at reserve if fit and I think Jye Etheridge would seem to be the best guest if available.

I think one of the reasons can be attributed to the weather, if we had more bad weather, more meetings would have been postponed so more meetings would have to have been ridden in August. The other reason for a lack of meetings for Glasgow is that they got knocked out of the cup.

Not really up to the authorities, surely it is up to the clubs to arrange their fixtures although in Glasgow's case if they rode there final meeting at Plymouth they would have ridden fairly recently.

Ah that's better, calling me a Paul fan again. It was a bit confusing when you used the proper team name, I was worried that you were a bit under the weather. You spelling needs some work too!

Not defensive thinking just how it read, at least you didn't call them Paul riders!

You appear to be inferring all our riders in the British Final are gating tarts then you say Danny King isn't!

Well Cook is back now so only Ulrich and Danyon injured, I think they will have to cope without Ulrich as if he came back it usually takes him a few meetings to get back up to speed but I think they can cover his rides with r/r fairly well, Hume on the other is more difficult and would be a bigger miss in my view unless they can get a good guest.

Personally i feel our heat leaders can compete on a level with the Glasgow heat leaders, Cook is now fit and back on form so that is a plus for Glasgow but unfortunately i think Hume is still injured and that could be a big issue, i believe zach Cook is the best reserve but we also have the worst reserve and our second strings have found form, even Kemp seems to be riding a little better judging by his form at Leicester last night .I think it is too close to call.

I just said that after last night's result we look the team to beat as Leicester in my opinion look the best team prior to last night.

We did very well tonight, fantastic performance to get within 2 points when I thought it would be 8 at least. I wasn't there but looking at updates and 6 points down with only 4 races to go it looked like we going to get thumped but the heat 14 result was amazing considering Kemps recent form and Zachs form at Leicester recently.

I think after tonight's performance we showed we are the team to beat in any competition so I would be disappointed if we didn't win all the trophies on offer.

Great result well done the amazing pirates!!

Both Cooks were poor last time but have had good meetings at Leicester before so there is hope if they can perform as they have lately we have a chance, don't expect any points from Ablitt and Kemp had a good one there last time but has been awful lately, like you I am hoping for 10 or less deficit but I fear it may be more.

That is because his team are getting beat by the bottom club!

Strange Trackrat hasn't commented on our win, i thought he would be the first to congratulate us!!

He messed up at Leicester too, don't trust him in big meetings. Just hope Middlo's retirement is a long way off.
