So getting back on track.....with the new June averages now out Poole will have a slightly different riding order at Plymouth. Although its possible Tobias may get his actual average after Wednesday's home meeting v Berwick? If so, I'm not sure when it will become effective.

As long as track prep and weather are similar to last couple of weeks then I can't see the Bandits getting close 54-36

But has he paid the fine though?

58 points from 6 riders! Not bad tonight. Can't understand how IRR was able to be used for Covatti? Clearly not fit to race yet as he inferred in interview - stretched his stitches and couldn't turn the bike easily. Maybe it's Plymouth merely getting the sympathy vote?!

July 4th?! Its a Thursday - been there , done it, don't like it.

What about Saturday? or any other weekends?

I'm sure Poole will do their utmost to further assist Plymouth by delaying the fixture until Covatti is fully fit!!

Local paper (Echo) says Covatti rides at 1 tomorrow for Plymouth - assuming it's not rained off!?

Scorpions??

Any more thoughts?

If the racing is good but home losses become too regular then attendances drop. There were some good races and some processional on Wednesday - a similar mix at most tracks I suggest - and the result/scoreline got excellent regional media coverage with most in the crowd going home happy and looking forward to next week's meeting vs Plymouth.

Why make someone who is not extrovert and chatty and has a complex character, the team captain? Also if home domination makes for 'poor entertainment', why do Poole's larger than most attendances seem more than happy and keep coming back?

I think thats why Plymouth have switched to Saturdays, except for GP weeks!

Agree 100%. Good to get 'Sweet Caroline' back after heat 14 though! Great music choices by SGP DJ Karlito I thought too. Using 'Like a Virgin' after Batch's first win was genius.

For reference there were 11 heat wins of 60.0o secs or quicker, 58.65 in heat 5 by Tom Brennan the fastest. Great track prep by Terry the Track (Happy Birthday BTW Terry).

Wow heat 11 already and still waiting for Worky to turn up!! So poor compared to last night.

Except for his pre-meeting opinion as to what the best gates would be..........!! Otherwise spot on.

Depends on how many rolling starts he (and Batch!) gets away with?! Hope the ref, Mr Carrington is on the ball this evening! After watching the Plymouth/Worky meeting last night, Pirates will need their gating gloves on. 49-41 I reckon.

What is club sponsorship like in Sweden? Is there still good interest and good funding?

Lets hope its a strong ref who keeps a beady eye on any 'rolling starts'!!! Same applies at Wimborne Road on Wednesday.....!

Lets hope Poole DJ Karlito gets back from Warsaw and has time to look out the 'Rawhide' theme music!!

Unhappy at not being contacted for his own comments!!

Zach's average has actually increased so far this season 6.22 to 6.51. I hear that he was particularly unhappy with the Echo article and the 'official' report of his injuries, as rather than 'lower back' and 'abdomen'. it was his wrist that was giving him most pain - which might better explain his lack of gating prowess at Oxford!!

Anyone want to buy a Chateau???

Nice 'Off The Beaten Track' article in this week's SS re Poole's Matt Ford selling his Chateau in France!!
