I thought we rode brilliantly at Somerset. I was one of the many Poole fans there who thought before the meeting that we could be spanked, but Middlo shows us yet again why he is the best in the business by rallying his team to put in a superb performance. I spoke to Middlo briefly before the meeting and he said he will give the mother of all track talks and that’s what he did, with the help of Gary May and his “we are gonna smash ‘em” comment. Gary was even saying before the meeting he wanted a 20 point lead over the tannoy. What more incentive could our lot want? It’s not over yet of course. But we now have the chance to get through to the final, and with it further glory. We are still underdogs to win the championship but our odds are slowly coming down. Roll on next Monday. Should be one hell of a meeting.

Should imagine most of the rules are known by now.

Matt Ford had no need to lie. He is known for saying it as it is so why would he not say he is swapping out Sundstrom for Harris? Spanner was axed for Jakobsen. Truth is Linus had turned it around and was scoring well. But he wanted out, whether it was his form or not happy with the travelling for renumeration, who knows. Matt said at the time he was disappointed with Sundstroms decision.

Anyway back to the thread. It’s going to be extremely tough for the boys to keep it close enough tomorrow night. Let’s hope the track is properly prepared for a change to give both teams a chance to race. If it is we could be in for a treat. If it’s like the last time we visited then Somerset will probably do enough tomorrow to make the second leg a formality. Loads of Poole fans making the trip up to cheers on the mighty Pirates. Weather looks OK. Fingers crossed for a great meeting that will be talked about for the racing rather than anything else.

I have been to the new NSS about half a dozen times now and nothing touches it in the UK for facilities and track.

Of course they can’t say anything else. If this had been Poole we would be on page 46 by now. Obvious what has happened.
