Newman and Bowes would have been the reserve pairing from 1st July!

February 29th?🤣

Bowes out for the season due to a 3-6 month recovery period from a 'bulging disc'!! Pirates have til their next meeting on 15th July (assuming England aren't in the World Cup semi final that day) to source a suitable replacement.

Ah yes I knew he raced elsewhere but couldn't remember for whom.

Poole were in the Prem last time THJ rode in 2019. He had a Prem average of 4.18. I reckon he could do a reasonable Championship reserve job, depending what his gsa was reduced to?!

So it's confirmed Jenkins in, Fredriksen out, Battye back.

Racing for Leszno today may help....

Nurse! Nurse, quick the medication's wearing off .....!!

It's so nice of the nurse to allow you to stay up late tonight in Kent! Time to go bye byes now though.

The irony is strong in this one!!

Are you saying you know the reason? Or there is NO reason for him missing the home meeting?

So Poole's visits in the past 2 seasons have seen a win and a loss, both by 2 points. The same tonight would suit the Pirates but with it being Cook's least favourite track and Rushen never having seen the place before, it'll be a real challenge.

Credit to Fraser who has given a full explanation of his injuries on facebook. In addition to the punctured lung, ribs and back injuries that were diagnosed initially he has attempted to come back still in some pain with an undiagnosed slipped disc which was missed originally.

Why would a newcomer to the sport be interested/bothered, unless the 'explainer' was being negative??

Well Jordan Jenkins who guests for Cairns on Friday, must be nearing the end of his cover for Berwick's Battye. His average would fit (as would Fredericksen) if the Fords make a change before next Wednesday

Let's hope Richard is over the injury that kept him out of last night's Danish meeting!?😇😇

I heard not, but arrangements may have changed. I think he's intending to go to next Weds Oxford meeting if my info is correct, at the time of posting. (Thats an invitation for Lewy to jump in - not that he needs any invite!!)

In the return leg on Saturday it seems we don't have Will so Simon Lambert guests!!

So the July 1st GSAs are out with both Will Cairns and Cooper Rushen in the 1-5. It'll be interesting to see the new riding order.....! Will it be a straight swap between Cairns and Bowes at 2?

Launch of a 'fan share-scheme'??

Fraser Bowes is back at 2 partnering Bomber. I hope he is fit/rested enough to turn the bike effectively. I reckon it'll be close over 2 legs, especially with Glasgow away in between .

Because there is a cut off date for cup matches - I know Worky don't have those sort of fixtures to worry about anymore. Who are the other 'multiple' riders missing other than the 2 already named?

It's a cup fixture which wasn't on the original fixture list when Danish contracts were agreed.

Another question is will Berwick be missing PK due to Danish fixtures?

The info was 100% correct based on the original fixture list.so give it a rest Lewy - it's been ever boring on every Poole thread for weeks now.
