We have Basso no worries, the cup is ours. Zaine Kennedy is not that good at his own track let alone at Poole! He may have got 5 and 4 points but he had 6/7 rides!

Yeah not a good guest but hopefully we won't need him to be.

They could have looked at the forecast and had it today.

So I suppose as it is a cup meeting play off rules don't apply.

Thomas had a good meeting there last time and maybe Zach doesn't fancy the long drive

Not it matters too much as it seems Stefan scores at Glasgow aren't too good and Zach has been good at home plus Basso is a terrific rider to have at reserve. Jack Thomas seems to have good days and bad days, hope he has a good day.

You wouldn't expect him to beat Bailey on a regular basis so I expect he will only have 3 rides. We have the amazing Basso.

I wouldn't worry yourself about Paul, we have been the best team all season and Middlo will make sure everyone is fired up and ready to win.

You need it supporting Edinburgh!!

There's me thinking that the people in Scotland were nice, not everyone it seems!!

Probably drove along the A35 not everyone wants to live in a big city.

No not a middle aged man thing, I am not like that and I'm well past middle age!!

Doesn't make Lisa's comment wrong, it is any kind of predudice but racist language and racist behaviour is a big part of why they take the knee.

You can't imagine how much he hated us winning Saturday against Leicester

Bit pathetic calling Poole fans Paul fans

That comment says more about you than Poole fans!

I was pessimistic too especially with Rorys shoulder injury and Harris guesting but I didn't envisage the performance of Hume or Basso.

Ah bless.

Yes It is a shame Eurosport do not cover the Championship playoffs, I am sure it would make great TV.

Thanks for the congratulations, we were just better than Leicester last night.

Neither Cooks were any help in the away leg and in my opinion reasonable to think Harris would perform better in the away leg judging by his Premiership Grand Final performances, I don't know why he was below par last night ashe usually performs well at Leicester, I also thought Peterborough would struggle without Hans. but Craig Cook did well. Rory apparently aggravated a shoulder injury in the home leg but you wouldn't have noticed last night, he was flying.

More dirt would have helped Harris but considering how he rode for Peterborough he was poor.

I was one of the Pirates that went to this meeting, wasn't many of us but we were noisy!  I didn't expect this result, I thought we would struggle but I wasn't banking on the amazing Hume, Danyon was fantastic, best I have seen him ride and deserved heat 15. I spent all evening chatting with his dad which was a bonus, lovely guy and very interesting. Rory looked as fast as I seen him this season, one race he was nearly half a lap in front. Both Cooks struggled but that didn't matter because Basso was also excellent with a never give up attitude which cost him when he was excluded in one race but he also took a rider in the last bend in another race. Worrall and King were also very good. Heat 9 should not have been all 4 back because Douglas fell on his own but it didn't matter. Poole were always in control and apart from Douglas Leicester were really not firing on all cylinders. Harris looked slow too and although he won an awarded race he didn't show the fighting spirit he showed the other night on a track he usually rides well. Captain Howarth and Morris showed spirit but very few riders in this league could have coped with Rorys speed and that was the foundation of this result in my opinion.

I take your point and I agree although we would have won by a bigger margin in this meeting had Hume been at reserve. I will be a very happy Pirate if he is back next season.
