  1. I would be suprised if Leicester leave Poole with any points. But you never know. Although we lost it at the death tonight we are looking pretty good, with three home meetings in hand. Going to be a hot week so lets see how the track staff deal with conditions.
  2. Josh was never going to trouble Iversen and Lambert in heat 15.
  3. Was happy with a point before and said we needed an 8 point lead before heat 13. No big guns just a solid team. Trouble is when we come up against big hitters. A win on Wednesday will possibly stick us in the playoff places so not all bad. We are picking up lots of bonus points away from home and are far stronger now at home. It’s looking good.
  4. Heat 13 and 15 are our nemisis. Same tonight. Needed 8 point lead into heat 13 and only had 4.
  5. As when I go along with Poole, the Swindon boys have their bikes setup to rocket out of the starts.
  6. They could water fom 6 am unil 2 to get water into the base. Utter dire rubbish worse than last week.
  7. It would have been a ten hour round trip if I had gone. No thanks in 30 c heat.
  8. Didn’t think it would be possible to outdo the Leicester V Poole meeting from last week, but Swindon v Leicester is already in front with racing diabolical. Track is massively underwatered. Poole v BV was also raced in similar temps but we didn’t see any dust all night.
  9. If a team is on the losing end of a 5-1 and one of the riders falls, the other rider should start from 15 metres in the rerun. Simon Stead should know this and been on the phone to the ref. Mind you the ref could be the same geezer from Cardiff on Saturday.
  10. Thought the intro mediocre. Inside the stadium we didn’t have the faintest idea where the riders actually were around the stadium. Needed darkness with a single spotlight. Still it was better than the intro a few years back when the riders came out in a stretch limousine to a confused crowd, then got out one at a time. Now that really was crap!
  11. Whats with the moans? Kids dont go to school Saturdays or Sundays so no problems there. The excuse it will be too cold is an imbecilic comment. Septembers can be balmy and Julys wet. Not much difference. As for football, as someone else has pointed out, the GP is a one off. Crowd could be bigger than normal.
  12. With Pirates strength in depth we are vunerable in 13 and 15 against Iversen and Lambert. A point would be very good. Anything else a bonus. Saw that Lambert has only been beaten twice at home all season. Big achievement.
