Lol! Steve Worrall is a third heat leader. You are making out he would have scored double figures on Wednesday. 6-7 points, possibly 8 but that should easily be covered. Cook and Fricke are better than Worrall, so thats 2 of the 4 heats likely to bring in more points than he would have scored. Starke, if used in the correct heat, would cover. What Bewley scores might take back the gains made from the Cook and Fricke rides. Belle Vue are not worse off with Worrall out. Now if they use a guest in say, Charles Wright, that might alter things. As for going on holiday, yes I am off to Bassano del Grappa on the 26th for a week. Looking forward to it already.

Leicester v Poole SGB Premiership A. 9/4/18

Good sensible decision if very disappointing. Saves a lot of Poole fans a wasted journey. Pirates might get our season underway some time in May, at this rate. -
Lol! Fricke hates the place? Have you asked him? An u21 world champion. He should breeze around Wimborne Road. No excuses. Only a few weeks ago you were singing the praises of Tungate when he won the Aussie title. An Aussie champ should breeze around Wimborne Road. No excuses. Starke knows Wimborne Road like the back of his hand. Bewley is no slouch at Wimborne Road. Belle Vue are not affected by the loss of their third heat leader. It’s not as though they are missing Cook or Fricke. They have riders who can easily cover for their third heat leader, who you are making out would have got double figures!

Leicester are favourites for tomorrow. Do you seriously think Poole will go through the league unbeaten? If so you rate the team higher than I. -
Well this time we might actually be able to start our season! Forecast for Wednesday is dry with sunny periods. The track has had extra time to bed it so it should be all systems go against Belle Vue. A very tough fixture to start our season and looking forward to it very much. POOLE 1. Brady Kurtz 8.08 2. Josh Grajczonek 7.34 3. Kacper Woryna 4.65 4. Linus Sundstrom 7.22 5. Peter Kildemand 6. James Shanes 2.88 7. Mateusz Szczepaniak 4.54 BELLE VUE 1. Craig Cook 8.45 2. Rohan Tungate 6.18 3. R/R? 4. Paul Starke 5. Max Fricke 7.39 6. Dan Bewley 4.71 7. Jye Etheridge 3.89 The order of the Belle Vue team might be wrong. A tough opener but I fancy Pirates to open our home campaign with a win. The missing Worrall can be covered well by Fricke, Tungate, Starke and Bewley. Thoughts?

Forecast has gone bad. Not looking very good for this to go ahead. Rain tomorrow during the day light and patchy with heavy rain sweeping in during the evening. -
Bad crash for Doyle in heat one. High sided and hooked up cartwheeling with his bike. Looked like he knocked himself out and landed on his shoulder. Taken by ambulance to hospital. All the very best to Doyley.

My error. But I am sure Swindon fans will also be concerned as will all speedway fans.
