Any day when they are not missing riders!!! That's why they've turned down several fixtures over the past 7 weeks

Danny King and Richard Lawson to guest for Plymouth on Tuesday???( question not statement).

Spot on imo.

He was the ref at the rained off British final

Justin Sedgeman. To be fair I have no issue with Steve's exclusion for 2 minutes BUT it should never have been brought back in the first place.

Watching the BSN stream and there is light drizzle but a strong wind seems to be blowing it through quickly. My only other observation at the moment is 'where is the crowd' ???

Glasgow are scheduled at plymouth on Tuesday.

So has Morris been officially diagnosed with concussion as well as his lower back injury? His BSN interview when he said he was not fit to race said his head was 'spinning'!!

Is it off yet?! Whats the rain-off rearrangement date?

That's the BSPL way of ensuring teams don't have 3 strong heat leaders.

Considering Ruml lodges with Nicol I'd have thought he was the obvious choice?

The usual track work after heats 4, 8 and 12.

So is Ostergaard back for Sunday? The Speedway Star Glasgow report seems to think so.....?

Says the so-called Brummies fan getting his vitriol in on every thread he can!!

At least Poole don't have Danes fencing/blocking their own guest team mates eg Flint!! Or failing to turn up after 'aggravating his injury' no doubt whilst doing commentary for Danish TV!!!? Still at least it saved Plymouth the air fares!!! Suck it up Buttercup!

That won't be enough for some teams - or riders!! I thought some clubs have a 'minimum number of home fixtures ' written into their rental agreements with their landlords?!

To be fair it was the mid-meeting team talk (ar$e-kicking) that stung the Pirates into their second half blitz. In all honesty I've not seen the Pirates quite so dominant against a top team (Lions 3 heat leaders all had higher GSAs than Poole's top 3). The Cook brothers really turned it on big style - especially Ben who was really quick all night. But credit to the full 1-7 and to the Lions for their first 5 heats or so. So Redcar in the final and Pirates have beaten them home and away this season already - even with Riss!

Lions kept it close to heat 6 until Ben Cook catching Howarth on the line in the race of the night. Then BOOM the Pirates went into over drive.

Cant disagree with any of that except to say that both Cooks shared the sponsors Rider of the night award. Can't wait to see Ben Cook v Basso in heat 1 next week.

The Cup holders get preference!! ;-)

Two many Cooks spoil the Lions broth

10 minutes to go. Decent crowd. Good atmosphere. Christina Turnbull referee. COYP

Danny King still doesn't!!

So I can't believe this one has slipped through the net?! Both teams line up in their full 1-7s, with Lions just making a change to the riding order for Dan at 4 and Connor at 2. Last time the Lions came to Wimborne Road in early June they won by 4 points with Dan Thompson their trump card at reserve top-scoring with 11+2 from 6 rides. Thats not going to happen again plus Pirates are riding in top form at the moment. Its nice and sunny with a warm(ish) breeze on the South Coast today - no rain forecast but will doubtless be colder this evening. I'll go with 49-41 to Poole on the night. Thoughts......?

Yes it really plays on his mind - so much so that he hides away in the speedway office and rarely ventures out!! NOT!!
