No live stream. Big crowd coming in bunch of Monarch fans decamped next to us. Should be fin!

A shame our new Signing Basso isn’t riding tonight. Forecast is good. Should be a cracker.

Absolutely. He posts the same line all the time. Clearly doesn’t understand a track can be fixed, bumps and holes can VE taken out to produce a very good race track. Agree with Mikebv that it was slicker last week, the first time this season. But no bumps or holes.

Doubt this guy has been to<Poole. Our track is in excellent condition. Fast, smooth and a racers track. No hiding place for riders who fate then hold everyone up. They get picked off.

Wrong yes. But heat 14 stank to be honest. For the Leszno riders to be so tailed off against Zagar was ridiculous. Cracking meeting though. Fricke was excellent as was Pawlicki.

I said right before that heat, Zielona Gora are going to 5-1 Doyle and Kolodziej, in a stichup of Grudziadz. Make no odds to Leszno they are in the playoffs. And Bobs your uncle so it was. Anyone want the lotto numbers? Fricke to win here? Almost!

Superb riding for a youngster to be honest. His battle with Lasse Bjerre and Jensen at 28.45 was excellent and his ride at 32.10 was impressive. Whether he will do well in much tougher company we will have to see but 5 points a meeting is his target. And Poland have noticed him. However he wants to come to the U.K. as it’s a guarenteed berth.

If Zielona Gora lose this they could well up bottom and relegated. Massive meeting for them.

Be surprised if we lose this one. Edinburgh are definately one of the top teams this year but I think the Pirates will be too strong for them at home, unless complacency sets in and the way the team are riding I doubt that will happen. Should be a great contest and another good crowd on Wednesday. Of course it might well turn out to be a very different story on Friday when we are heading all the way up there.

Pirates have just announced the replacement for Keleher at 2 and he will be riding all three meetings this weekend. Welcome to Poole Ben Basso. 20 year old Danish rider. Must admit I know nothing about him but he comes highly recommended by Nicolai Klindt and Freddy Jackobsen. A bit of a baptism of fire for the lad when he sees Edinburgh but I won’t expect too much from him this weekend.

There’s a name I………..have never heard of! But welcome to the club Ben!

Seems ridiculous that there is no rule to bring in a div 1 reserve or similar. I guess it’s to stop a team pretending a rider is injured though.

A nasty wound but healing. Spoke to him last Wednesday and he said hopefully a week or at worse two.

Rain is going to save Gorzow blushes.

Why are Gorzow using a young rider who can hardly turn a bike? There must be other options.

Bewley paying too much respect to Zmarzlik. Needs to be tougher and not cower.

No joking, Give me a day on a bike and I could do as well as that Gorzow reserve. Can’t even complete 4 laps! Worse than useless.

But so what? Zmarzlik fault for cutting off Janowski and riding into his partner. Should be excluded for stopping the race. Just because his chain was damaged is no ones fault but himself.

Justice served. Should have been a 1-5 though.

Outrageous ref decision. Zmarzlik caused the stoppage by crashing into his partner!

Zmarzlik out definately. No doubt.

Hopefully able to continue.

Gary Havelock is managing the team up north, as Middlo has business commitments on weekends.

Well done to Danyon Hume with an excellent paid 10 tonight. Good practice for this time next week.
