Just as well he can't be used in away meetings this month!!! I guess it'll be Howarth or Pickering guesting at Poole the next day?!

Plymouth can still use Bomber to guest at 1 at home (8.39 +5%)

Danny King changed bikes after his first races so I hope he sticks with them and sends the other (new?) one back to the tuner!!!

If you see his interview on PirateCast.Live he is fully fit. It was his machinery that took the biggest hit when he crashed against Edinburgh. Just as much of a concern is that both Cooks didn't exactly cover themselves with glory last season when Poole and Plymouth visited Scunny.

Didn't think you could re-sign a rider once he'd gone?!

He's in the team according to the Poole website preview. Havvy as Poole Team Manager.

Thats not what was said on TV before the rain came and delayed everything.

....even if the foreseeable future might only be another 2-3 seasons........?!

Maybe he's not earning even when he is riding??

Quite a few Poole Town FC fans were saying they wanted to go back to their 'spiritual home' on their unofficial fans forum!! I'm really interested in learning where exactly in Poole there is a large enough site to develop a 'football, leisure, educational and recreational' complex, if as stated its not at Poole Stadium???

The Premiership League fixtures didn't start til May!!!

Anders Rowe was selling his van last week!!! And Proctor is carrying injuries which make it too painful to race.

The Crump effect!!!!

With no home fixture this week tune in to PirateCast.live on You tube when Drew Kemp is the special guest on Wednesday 15th June at 7pm. Get your questions for Drew ready to go LIVE in the chat room.

Which is exactly what Middlo, Matt and Danny Ford and Danny King(Capt) said .....on the night!

Yes I've read that but still don't understand it. If he's injured then he can't ride so can hardly be withholding his services? Unless he can't produce a medical certificate?! To be honest be a reasonable replacement for Kennett at Plymouth.

I don't get the 'withholding his services' bit as his article in the S.Star makes it clear he is still carrying an injury and is unable to race for anyone.

Its no different to last season at this time. Will Leicester still be as strong when the Thompson twins swap places? All ifs, buts and maybe's at the moment. btw Steve Worrall seems to be coping well enough after visiting his 'specialist' in France......

Yeah and Steve didn't miss any Poole meetings either.

Poole's current team average is 2.52 points above the 42.00 team building limit. Nathan is a long term prospect and if replaced (he won't be imo) then what other 2 point rider would do better. Changing more than one rider at the same time would mean Poole would have to lose at least 2.52 points - best to stick with imo. Poole and Plymouth are the only 2 clubs using a 2 pointer at number 7. All other clubs have 4 or 5 point reserves so its a difficult challenge for any 2 pointer new to the Championship. Drew is not currently fully fit and probably lost a bit of confidence in recent weeks compared to his earlier season scores, BUT Poole only lost by 4 points so its not a major problem as long as they can get the starts back to earlier standards.

The score was the same in any case!

Carrying injuries certainly doesn't help either his confidence or his actual racing. He does seem to like to stick to the inside rather than risk the outside lines, but that may be just down to the confidence thing. Drew is the guest on next Wednesday's (June 15) edition of PirateCastLive at 7pm (as the Pirates don't have a meeting) so maybe chat to him about any issues....!

Woah whats happened to the original thread? Last night I gave my congrats to the Lions for a deserved win and I switch on this morning and its all gone!

I guess that when Joe Thompson drops back to reserve for July (he looked well off the pace last night) and Dan goes into the 1-5 there may be some different results

With no Starke and Danny King struggling with bike issues and lack of speed, I reckon Ippo might struggle....?!
