No Poole v Sheffield ko cup fixtures now so Pirate fixtures can start at Easter as planned.

Pirates DECLINE Premiership ko cup invitation!!!

Don't understand your 'front page' reference. Sport is usually on back page and inside! My winking emoji was referring to today's AFCB injury and player recall news which will surely be the main local sports story.

Especially after today's injury news!!

Will has been training with Hancock stateside. There are some Instagram reels......! Ps. I gather there has been a change to the original No.7 target, but all sorted now. I'm sure the announcement will be made to get the maximum local media coverage ie, when AFC Bournemouth are not the main sports story!!😉

Deal done - no panic!

Depends on what night?and which other Poole riders would be riding for the Prem teams?😉

Ironic😄 So a Poole fan on a Poole thread can't ask a question as part of the discussion? What's your excuse?

Where has it been stated that only 2 riders are to be replaced? I must have missed it!?

Not sure any 'new fan' would need any negative explanation from any existing fan? 7 Prem teams plus the Championship Champions - They would surely just be happy and content with 4 cup quarterfinals. As for Poole not wanting Premiership, they've been there, lost money, can't race on their traditional Weds race night and still get healthy Championship attendances with 30% less cost! It's a no brainer a d has been well documented.

Assuming Poole have actually accepted the invitation from the Premiership clubs? How about Laguta or Lindgren and Lambert or Madsen at 6 and 7??😉

The points money made him a little cross.

A good signing for the Gladiators and I hope Nic is fully fit and recovered from his 2024 injuries. He'll also need to get his set-ups sorted between Kings Lynn and Plymouth!

'Wayne Rooney in career change shock!'🤣 "With me and Barker at 1 and 5, nobody will get past us in heats 13 and 15 at the Coliseum", reports the Plymouth Herald.🤣

Nobody has said you are hiding, although most wish you would. I guess you must be grateful your surname isn't Kerr - or maybe you've changed it?!

Not sure yet but as 3 of those aren't registered on here I guess your stalking will need to improve a bit Wayne! But you are correct, this is a Poole thread so no surprise to find you on it.......again!

Have Plymouth named their final riders yet?

2.96

I am far from being in the know all the time, but most people with even a modicum of intelligence can make an educated or informed guess. In any case does it really matter that much whether the temporary final rider is this 2 pointer rather than that 2 pointer? It's a 'temporary signing' for goodness sake.......even if the Promotion makes a late change!!

I don't understand why everyone seems so interested in who the temporary number 7 may be. Knowing its going to be one of the weaker 2 pointers, ie one who can't get a full time Championship place elsewhere, is surely sufficient for the time being. Merry Christmas.😁

Tate Zischke withdraws from big meeting in Oz, due to not having recovered from his injuries earlier this year!

Plus the additional problem of getting stadium staff in 'cos they all have other all-year-round weekend jobs in hospitality and security etc!!

Exactly!!

What day of the week are Chargers home meetings?

After your promoter's comments today I think your time would be better spent trying to drum up local interest in your team/club/riders to 'increase attendance to a decent level like when Poole visit'!! (His comment not mine).
