You were last season!😇

Poole have launched a new weekly draw to help fund a new air fence for 2026. Meanwhile the NSS has taken out extra insurance as Vinnie is now in the British Final on Monday. Maybe Lawson and Kerr were merely being cautious...?

The kevlar manufacturers will remember!

Kerr has a medical certificate, after being withdrawn after Wednesday's heat 13 on medical grounds.

It's good to get a bit of form and confidence---ready for the BSN semi final!!😀

Tobias top scores with 13 points in Denmark today!!😀

It would seem he was withdrawn on medical grounds on Wednesday after his 4th ride in heat 13. There are photos of him 'having words' with Jenkins at the end so whether that was something to do with it......? Catalan should know..!

Middlo's interview on this week's Piratecast podcast today tried to explain how the Poole riders arrived with the same set-ups as their other home meeting v Plymouth. Unfortun ately the track prep and weather were totally different and it wasn't til the second half of the meeting that Poole began to claw back the deficit.

Apparently dislocated his knee and dislodged the kneecap. Don't know what ligament/muscle/nerve damage there may be?

I believe there may be stadium cost implications if the meeting goes past a certain time!? Anyway reflecting on last night now I've thawed out, well done to Oxford and especially Masters and McDiarmid, the latter never having seen the track before. Race times especially in the first half of the meeting were very fast, under 60 secs. Poole highlights (only a few!) were Anders in heat 3 and Rocketman in heat 15. Otherwise disappointing from the home side but hey we move on, it's still early days. Hope Gilkes recovers quickly from his kneecap injury. Perfectly understand why the track doctor/paramedic went with him to hospital, hence the delay.

Meeting likely to be abandoned if 2nd ambulance has not reached the track by 9.30pm! Result to be awarded if so.

Nasty fall for Gilkes on final bend.. Ambulance to hospital. Awaiting arrival of County ambulance.

Heeps is 2nd in Oxford's averages(6.61) so anyone can take his r/r rides.

Rich is on 9.21 for May!

The whole team would have to under perform to bring in a 8.55 rider. Poole are already 40.33

Well, if true,then at least it'll stop certain promotions pleading with others to help them put a decent 1-7 together!😃

Maybe the possibility of a wildcard to the GP at Belle Vue isn't that attractive to some?!

It's possibly Richard's way of registering a protest against a transponder fine - if you follow his fb pages.......

Ce'st la vie Steve, ce'st la vie.

Great news for Gladi fans....Cluff has scored a point at Oxford.

Who is Kerr riding for?

Not much interest in this it seems? Maybe the haters aren't up yet? Plymouth have Zaine Kennedy guesting at 6 as Lasse (if fit) is away for Norway. Poole 1-7 as per Wednesday, with a 26 point cushion but going for the win.

Let's also not forget that Poole (39.04) have the lowest team average of all the Championship clubs! Yes even slightly lower than Plymouth (39.09).😉

Track should be well watered after all the overnight rain, plus the chance of a light shower this afternoon. Should be a decent meeting and win for the Pirates.
