Dont think there is one.

Why haven't Lynn come on out and said that Poole fans should send their tickets in for an £8 refund and Rye fans a little more? The Lynn promotion should be pro-active on this, not leave things and hope fans just won't bother. They just bring it on themselves.

Then Rosco should name him in the TeamGB lineup. If he refuses to accept riding for TeamGB he loses any benefit of being a plastic Brit.

Then clearly you have nothing to fear on Monday, right? It's going to be a stroll in the park for Swindon, right? Anything less than a ten point Swindon win would be classed as underperforming, right? Clearly you expect Doyle, Morris and the Pole to go through the meeting unbeaten, right? There's no pressure on Poole. I for one am feeling none at all where normally the worry and expectation would be palpable. I should imagine it's the same for most Poole fans as well. Whereas Swindon fans are expecting, no, demanding that their team brush aside this so called very weak and poor Pirates side who only just scraped into the playoffs in heat 15 of their last meeting of the regular season. Anything other than a Swindon win on Monday would be a shock, right?

Dave, perhaps you could give us an insight of what your Tuesday is like on commentary day? Research you do, The studio, staff around you etc?

Really looking forward to Monday. Being the underdogs takes the pressure completely away. Remember a couple of years ago when we were the favourites and the pressure was intense. This time around there isn't any at all and the lads can go into the meeting with no expectations or weight on their shoulders. Will the burden be too much for this Swindon team who have been thumped quite heavily twice in a row? And in the last meeting Wolves took their foot off the gas. All pressure will be on the Robins. Pirates can go for it free from the extra strain of what being favourites means. Lets send those Swindon fans back to Wiltshire worrying about how they are going to pull back a decent Poole lead.

Nah. Dangle my legs but land safely. In the finals with any luck!

Its the vario. The higher the beep the better the lift. Here's a better video. Ringstead Bay in Dorset near Weymouth, three weeks ago. Anyone who wishes to join me is welcome. It's great fun.

Was flying there last Saturday.

Yep. But after the playoffs, not that we are likely to be in the final.

Every thread bogged down with the same old crap from the same people. Getting to the stage that this forums dead.

Enough already! Pages of crap already on this thread. Jesus wept.

Knock? Seemed ok at Monmore. Would be r/r anyway if a top 5 rider is out.

True enough I was just playing devils advocate.

Would Kyle take the booking? If he does, and scores well Helping to knock Poole out, he will certainly be less popular with the Poole faithfull. Alternatively, he could be out to seek retribution and this would be an ideal opportunity. Personally if asked, I hope he turns it down. Not worth any ill feeling towards him over just one payday.

Well I may as well start this one up as everyone else seems shy to do so. Swindon come to Wimborne Road next Monday for the first leg of the playoff semi finals. Live on BT Sports. Swindon have had a record breaking season which saw them string an unbeaten run together which lasted over half the season, sweeping all before them. They have finished top of the league and chose Poole as their easiest route in going through to the final. Some of the Swindon fans can't wait to know how big a lead they will be taking back to the second leg at Blunsdon, such is their confidence. Others have said they are looking forward to smashing Poole in both legs. So do Poole have no chance at all? Will Swindon dominate proceedings at Poole so that the second leg is just a formality? Thoughts?

As a quirk of nature, when days get shorter, due to the axis on the earth we lose light at night slightly faster by a minute than getting light in the mornings.

Llung moaning about his exclusion is ridiculous. He knocked MJJ off, pure and simple. There is not a ref in the workd who would have seen it Llungs way.

Well done to Smederna! Against the odds in this meeting. The weathers played a big part.

A 3-3 will do it. Smederna are 5 up.

Llung has to go. Desperate move there. Shame conditions have played such a big part this evening.

I rest my case. Gavan you never disappoint. Clearly you didn't "get" that my original post was tongue firmly in cheek with no need for a response. Others "got it" but clearly it sailed way over you head.

Wow. I back Coventry and say I hope Brandon Estates never get planning permission for houses and you take it as some type insult? Weird.
