Lawson rides. Hodder in for Scott.

What, like missing Lawson last Sunday????

So I am right in saying Bears can't use Allen on Friday or Sunday due to 8 day rule and/or working on Sunday. Nor Scott on Friday due to concussion?? Am I? Surely Zischke the option for Friday....?

Probably Matt Ford checking out guests in case Lawson still unavailable!!

Poole: Lawson (tbc), Thomsen, Kerr, Cook,Rowe, Starke, Cairns. Redcar: Wright, Mulford, Edwards, Allen(G), King, Ritchings(G), Pijper. Poole are 'hopeful' of Lawson's availability. Poole to take a 10 point lead to the Ecco. Thoughts.

Ah yes. Good point. I'd forgotten that. Thanks.

But, depending on how long Lawson's compassionate leave lasts, Ellis won't be usable next Friday due to the '8-day rule'!

You might need to change your list?!

You can't ask for more than winning home and away. Solid job Pirates. Same again this coming week and next please.😇

All his gear is probably all packed up and on the way back to Oz!

You're forgetting NID - Never In Doubt!

Effectively 11 from 4 as he had 2 machinery failures!!

So why withdraw from the Poole Blue Riband?

In 2024 Zach rode at 4 all season with his brother at 3 and and Tom at 5 and only increased his average from 6.22 to 6.23! This year he's had the extra 'burden' of the captaincy because nobody else wanted it yet still improved his average by over a point. Agree he likes the BV track (who doesn't) but its different machinery, and different set-up for a big track.

Why be keen for a rider to move on when he's put over 1 point on his starting average? OK he's not the most extrovert of captains that's ever been and will still be in the Poole side in 2026 imo. (Maybe he'll improve further with another compatriot Aussie in the side?)

A bit strange as the reason he withdrew from the Blue Riband was because he couldn't get his bikes down to Poole!!

'Blurred Lines' was a track by Robin Thicke!!🤣🤣

Riders just want/need bike time. The Ippo preview says they are aware a few of their riders have other matches elsewhere. Seem OK with that.

Why? Are Poole changing their race night?🤔

Maybe follow his - and others' -progress in the Young Stars meeting this evening!

Yes but having both in one team will be nice!

He's signed for Region Varde in Danish League ( Wednesdays!)

Nobody was laughing at an injury-affected rider. The laughter was aimed at some of the fans comments. Question: if he was injured - which was well documented - why include him in the line-up? Reeks of desperation imo.😇

Wow, confusion and mixed messages at the BSPL!! who would have thought it?! So Poole complete their league fixtures by the original cut-off date and now get 'penalised' by not having their entitled choice of second leg at home in both play-offs and KO Cup!!

So despite Redcar and Poole reaching agreement on dates themselves, someone at BSPL HQ has had a tantrum and thrown their toys out of the pram!!
