Being slaughtered out of the gate again.

Come and join foreverblue, myself, shaleshifter and Pirate Nick in the middle of the back straight stand.

Rubbish meeting. All from the gate bar the odd pass. Can fill in your program after a lap. Unless Ellis falls off.

Lovely evening at the Abbey. Crowd slowly coming in. Team of inc Matt Ford did track walk. Need to see a little fight tonight.

Most people took it in the spirit in which it was written.

Perhaps if Belle Vue’s crowds are down on last year they might need some cash. Matt needs to get on the phone and make a decent offer on the youngster. Would come on leaps and bounds riding at Wimborne Road.

Absolutely. Riders need time to adjust. Woryna has already said he is disappointed in his early form but feels inches away from knocking in some big scores.

With the very warm day we have had, it was actually lucky that this meeting wasn’t planned for the afternoon. Would have been almost impossible to keep any moisture in the track and we would have had a dust bowl. With over 100,000 visitors in Bournemouth and Poole today, Pirate fans may have to travel a little early to beat the mountrous traffic jam expected on the A31 later.

Piotr Pawlicki was electric today.

Woryna 3? Think he will do better than that! You are too generous on Kildemand though. Be suprised if he gets double figures.

I hope Brady leaves his Puch Maxi bike in Poland tonight. So slow 2points outgated out ridden by away reserve!

Lol! More chance of Gavan being Middlos love child than that happening.

Who?

It’s a farcical rule and gives massive advantage to certain clubs. Very unfair and unnecessary.

Watching the Polish meetings doesn’t bode well for most of the Poole riders. Kildemand happy for third places and lousy gating. Spanner riding cautiously. Woryna battling but off his best. We need Noddy in the team though it’s starting to look increasingly unlikely.

That doesn’t make the bookies wrong. They will only be wrong if at the end of the season Poole are not champs. Nothing has changed. Poole still favourites. If our odds stretch out I will get a couple of hundred on them.

Starman, really? It was obvious he was talking about Dorset Knobs.

Cook unlucky there. Don’t understand why the ref stopped it. Rybnik track is hard work in trying conditions though passing still possible.

Weakens Belle Vue considerably. Bewley could have had 7 rides now a likely 4. Drodz at reserve will do OK but not the fire power of Bewley.

How have the bookies got it wrong?

Will be coming up for this one. Weather looks set fair so hopefuly a big crowd and lots of Poole fans making the trip up to support the team. I don’t expect us to get anything as the team have started woefully with over half the team off form, not only here but abroad as well. No one could have predicted such a poor start. We need to see Kildemand scoring double figures to back up Brady. But his form in Poland has been abysmal, so a poor score wouldn’t suprise me. Swindon by 8. If we get a point that’s an improvement.

Kildemand scoring 4 at Somerset? Josh not doing his job. Spanner off form. Only Kurtz and Woryna doing their job. Every meeting we lose it in the first few heats. Changes are needed and will happen. Riders know if they don’t perform they won’t be in the team for long.

Very sad to be losing smiler, but the changes are inevitable. More to come once 4h4a. Do fans of other clubs expect Matt Ford to do nothing about our poor start? Poole are the only club in the UK that treat the sport as the Poles do. In it to win it. If a rider is not performing his place in the team is under threat. James is an unfortunate victim of circumstance. Hope he is back at the end of the month.
