Darcy Ward will be well pleased at the performances of his 3 mates - Douglas, Ben and Zach Cook! Fairly sure that Douglas was in one of the several Poole line-up options during the winter until Lawson unexpectedly became available.

Usually big queues at all the entrances! Every week and longer queues in the holidays with all the holiday makers and depending on the standard of the opposition.

Arrive in the car park around 5-30/5.45. Gates open 6.30 so join that queue around 6.20 pm after having a snack/drink in the car, sometimes use the bar and facilities, catch up with the promoter and then I sit in an area of reserved seating so have the chance to catch up with other regulars, read the programme and make any changes to the racecard. I attend with my son, his mate and my granddaughter plus occasionally one other, depending on workshifts etc.

So fit to ride then?! As he told a former employer!!

Has anyone actually spoken to Eddie? Text, tweet, insta, email,message perhaps?

Enjoying the camera work on the stream. Shame about all the re-runs and a big shame about the commentary, especially Danny someone (I think) who clearly suffers from biased verbal diarrhoea. Sometimes less is more!! COYP.

Am I right in thinking Jubilee meeting scores don't affect riders' green sheet averages?

Isn't he out for upto 5 weeks?

EE bah gum!!

I do love a bit of b&b in the West Country!! PS. Stream purchased.

I didn't say it was an error, I said it was a masterstroke,

If riders start looking at club websites Richard Lawson may well refuse future guest requests from Plymouth!!

Crikey this thread has taken a turn for the verse or should that be wurst?

...and yet they continue to attract some of the better regular attendances in British speedway.

Yes with the expected Hawkins masterstroke of pairing Doyle with Batchelor rather than King??!!

Masters would probably pick up some sort of ban if he missed this evening having missed Saturday at Leicester but rode in Poland yesterday scoring 4 points.?

Its on their website now that they won't be confirming until Tuesday morning to give all the injuries maximum recovery time BUT the do have great guests lined up!!

I'll probably be buying the stream but will wait till the Plymouth 1-7 is announced on Tuesday morning!!

I share your pain - my 10 year old grandson is the same - but I can always give him back!!

A bit of parental guidance required there I feel!!!

So I'll start this thread as the Pirates website has already posted their preview. Poole expect to line up at full strength with their usual 1-7 and are wondering what reception the team in general and Richard Lawson in particular will get? No team or guest news from the Gladiators yet as I assume there are still doubts over MPT as well as Hans (last night's Premiership withdrawal!), and as well as the ongoing Kennett absence 'facility'. I hope the vandalism that took place at the Coliseum on Wednesday doesn't affect Plymouth's ability to host the fixture....? As I understand it a large water bowser was destroyed, just when its likely to be needed on the 'hottest day of the year so far'! Thoughts?

Still does - if he knows what the ref is like!!! Unfortunately with the inconsistencies amongst referees, some will let it go and some will put the red lights on if there is a clear advantage.

Very sorry to hear of all the damage and vandalism at the Coliseum last night while the team were at Birmingham. Seems to be an ongoing problem by some idiots.

All very well considering changes, but where will the replacements come from??

Marketing and selling a 'once a year' gp ( even with attendances falling!) is an entirely different proposition to weekly team speedway for 6/7 months of the year. As far as your scattergun approach to 99% of the populous is concerned any marketing expert would laugh all the way to the bank.
