Bowtell guests for Anders; Sam Hagon guests for Adam.

Spot on post. Thank you!

I think this could be a 'banana skin' for the Pirates with 2 reserve guests required. Douglas virtually unbeatable at home! MPT back if fully fit could also make a difference. Interesting match up.

Pretty fair result all things considered. Both sides had some misfortune and some good performances. Track was in good shape according to the riders. Shamexaboutvthe bonus point but there it is. I doubt Pirates will lose by 14 away again. Oxford may well finish top but in this season's format I don't think it's too relevant as nobody will want to have Poole in their 3-team group.

If it is ftg against the likes of Masters, Kerr and Nicholls then Poole will once again deserve the win!, the atmosphere will be electric and the large crowd will undoubtedly be thoroughly entertained!

I guess it'll depend on how long it takes 3 small breaks to his shoulder blade to heal? When he's riding its his machinery that is letting him down rather than any rider mistakes!!

Another iffy weather forecast for Friday!!?

Track looks in super condition after this morning's track prep!!

Both Richie Worrall and Leon Flint have given their views/explanations on the facebook page. Richie went into some detail about how things were on his practice laps - barely rideable and NOT raceable - plus he gave an idea of what his own costs were for the postponement. Leon said similar and also that the majority decision not to race was made by riders of both teams. (Ben Barker also explained on BSN about the track surface being very 'sandy' down to the base which makes it very soft when any rain). Riders weren't happy for Barker to do the practice laps as they thought he would simply support his uncle, Mark Phillips to get it on! The hope was that after morning rain the track would dry out naturally till late afternoon before trying to pack it down then. For me, what was far worse for the fans in attendance and those watching BSN, was that it was all played out in full view of everyone who had been admitted and those viewing the stream, some 30-45 minutes AFTER the scheduled start time!!

OK I'll bite. What are Poole supposed to do when Adam has a busted shoulder blade? Replacing a 3.67 reserve with a 2.13 guest, yes certainly 'at it again'!!

Might be for Rowe?!

Barker wanted to ride and was saying all the right things for his uncle, Mark Phillips.

I blame BSN. They started it!!

Yes

The Plymouth track team is Mr Phillips, the promoter.

Nothing to do with high tides? Everything to do with no track prep til 6pm, according to BSN who were there from 12 noon ish! Anyway moving on. BSN viewers will enjoy a top notch meeting tomorrow. A spit more of rain due overnight but the track will be fine for Pirates v Cheetahs! Might even get a Super heat?!

Harrald

Just going on what the commentators said!!

Hands up all those who checked Google Translate?

Very similar to Belle Vue last night then with the atmosphere to match!!

As has been said many times over - if you want to make a small fortune out of speedway, you have to start with a large one!!

What does Buster actually have to sell at Peterborough after 31st October? Alternatively what would any new potential buyer have to buy?

I thought the NSS was always great racing with top riders and loads of passing?! I'm trying hard not to nod off.

GSAs list him as 7.03

He does like a trophy or two though!!
