  1. Starting this one early. There are many Poole fans and fans of other clubs who would very much like to watch this meeting. But the cost of fuel and distance prohibits nearly every fan from coming up to Glasgow. A 918 mile round trip from Poole, taking 10-12 hours each way with breaks for food and rest. How about Glasgow putting on a live stream for this meeting? Even if it’s a single camera. I and many would be happy to pay £12 for the privilege of following the action this way. Pretty sure a few hundred would fork out to watch this battle. What about it Glasgow promotion? As for the meeting, it should be a cracker. Both teams are destined for the playoffs. Glasgow with home advantage should win but Poole are no pushovers as the Tigers know from last season. Thoughts on the chances of a stream? Zero, or can it be suggested? And the meeting itself?
  2. Thought Drew Kemp was Pirates man of the meeting. Had two duffers but battled hard and his pass of Riss was top drawer.
  3. So far so good for Pirates but we led by 8 at heat ten last year and lost by 8. Expecting the fightback to start.
  4. Right out in the dirt already. Track looking good.
  5. Dave Goddard doing comms which is good. Got a great hd picture on my tv. Good crowd there.
  6. Excellent news that Redcar have changed their minds and are now streaming the meeting. I have signed up. But so late I the day. Missed opportunity to promote the stream. If I wasn’t on here I would have not seen the change of mind and missed it.
  7. Result as expected. Track very good but riders not wanting to go out wide when it looked ok to. Eventually they did and found it was good to blast around. Smooth, plenty of dirt and no dust at all. Lawson off colour. Not wanting to do anything in one heat and sat at the back. Not like him at all. Worrall superb. King good. Ben Cook good, Zac less so tonight. Kemp hit and cold. So hesitant in one heat, then blast around the opposition in his next. A confidence issue? Ablitt battled. For Newcastle Howarth was good value but Starke was woeful all night. Think he might have blown his best engine. Rest were hot and cold but Wright did ok. Complin battled all night and had the race of the night with Zac Cook. The meeting lacked tension due to the result never being in doubt. Tougher tests ahead.
  8. Too far for me to go. Been looking for the stream. Have they stopped streaming? Missing out on a good revenue and loads of Poole fans would have taken it along with the four points. Thoughts?
  9. Great news! Now has every chance. Still got drizzle in Parkstone but due to start drying up. Not sure we will have many there but as Dickie head has said above, there is a very good live stream.
  10. Rain due to clear in the next hour or so. Fingers crossed it does and track has held up. Clearly Poole want it on otherwise it would have been called by now.
  11. Been raining for a couple of hours but due to clear up later. Fingers crossed. If it’s on there could be some fast times tonight.
  12. I think they will make the playoffs. Are they the new Exeter with huge home advantage?
  13. Thought production was as good as Eurosport to be honest and the commentator very good. BSN very good value. Plus every round of Premier pairs added.
  14. Not sure who the main commentator is on BSN but he’s very good and supported by Rosco it’s probably the best team I have heard this season.
  15. One things for sure. Starke isn’t going to score the same as Harris last week!
  16. Forecast looking dodgy. A few hours of rain due tomorrow afternoon before clearing away by 6pm. Hopefully not too heavy.
  17. Looking at the Oxford team, Jack Thomas is a doppelgänger for Troy Batchelor!
