No different to Tungate earlier. Said at the time what is the ref on. Guess he evened it out. No Morris tonight. Garrity guests. Somersets to loose

All very easy as expected for Pirates. Somerset no threat this morning. They got a little lucky mid meeting with Morris ef and Hans exclusion. But then Pirates just steppedup a gear and left the rebels for dead. Poole should have had 60. KK would have got a max so Somerset let off a little. Morris dis ok but the ef was a pain. Brady a class above with a last to first in heat 13. Messed up a mac with a completely fluffed start in heat 15. I am sure it will be a lot different tonight with Somerset seeking revenge.

Most Poole fans can see straight through Gavans trolling. If he is banned again it is deserved.

Once a fascility has been granted it will not be withdrawn. Would be a nonsense. Good crowd here this morning. Bad referreeing tungate missed the two mins by 15 seconds andhe was allowed in! Not that it made any difference.

Looking forward to this one should be a good meeting usually is. Adam Ellis had a spin at Eastbourne so might be back for Swindon? Swindon have certainly started well and the fouble over a fancied Rye team certainly was impressive. Goyle has picked ip after a dodgy first couple of weeks and Morris is doing better than expected. The second strings have also chipped in with some good points. Poole without Kerr who is riding at Scunthorpe so r/r for him. Holder, Klindt and Shanes to cover. Think this will be another close meeting between the sides with four points in it either way. Thoughts?

I should think all Poole fans would want KK over Morris today. But if KK was suddenly announced to ride you can bet there would be a few moaning at his inclusion because we are letting down a booked guest, and crying foul because he wasn't in the declared team for these fixtures. Anyway its all pointless as he is not here until Sunday at Swindon.

Weather is good this morning for the first ever league encounter between these two clubs. Should be a good crowd down at the stadium this morning. Poole to win and take the three points is my prediction. Shame that we are not full strength and we will miss KK today, especially tonight in the second meeting though Morris will do his best I am sure. Would have preferred a number one to cover but none available today. We will just have to make do and hope. Lets also hope for 30 heats of good racing and no nasty crashes.

Probably banned again for his abusive posts.

Not arrogance. Knowledge of Morris at Poole compared to KK. Not in the same class at Poole. Normally score 4-6 points a meeting here. An off form KK is worth more than that. KK showed good form at Leicester as well. I hope Morris has a blinder tomorrow. But at the end of the season KK will be near the top of the averages, Morris won't.

No he doesn't. KK would go through the card in both meetings. Somerset don't have a number one capable of beating him. Anyone who says Morris strengthens Poole is clearly lacking knowledge or on a windup. Last week the usuals were saying Poole got lucky against a weaker Leicester. Now without our number one, who is replaced by a third heat leader/second string, we are stronger! We can't win with some people whichever way it is. Up the Pirates!

He would have absolutely to chance of getting to Poole by 11 am. The M3 and A31 will be car parks heading to Dorset tomorrow morning. Same every good Friday. Sensible call to not try it and end up leaving us with r/r.

he is in Poland. Probably nothing in place to get him here for such an early start.

Morris showing decent form compared to King. Not a replacement for KK though.

Writing was on the wall for Watt this time last year. He should be in the second division and is living on borrowed time both here and in Poland. He has been a good servant for British speedway. A shame to hear that he is a pale shadow of the rider to do so well for Poole on numerous occasions.

I hope he is. His replacement King scored a pathetic three points tonight for Ipswich.

Not really the place to bring in a seat. The grandstand will be full but if you are there early you will get a seat. The first and second bends are standing and will be several deep. If you get there early at the front I guess you could put up a seat but you will have people standing closely next to you.

All the forecasts I have seen show it as a dry day in Poole though heavily overcast. Rather that than bright sunshine. You can bet it will be underwatered and slick by heat 7.

Its all been dealt with. No refunds discount was given for the Wolves meeting.

Belle Vue in another class to a very poor Wolves team. This is going to be a slaughter. 60-30 if the Belle Vue riders feel like it.

So what should Poole have done about Andersen then? Ridden r/r for the rest of the season? clue. It didn't work at Monmore when we had no choice.

To be honest it was just a Leicester fan making a dick of himself by doing that.

If its the Brady from last night then it could be a good Friday for Poole fans, as he was sensational.

What did he say?

From what my expectations were pre season, to what we are actually witnessing, couldn't be further apart. I was expecting him to struggle to score a point and be carried by the second reserve. What we have got is an accomplished rider who isn't the greatest of gaters, but with enough finesse on a bike to be able to turn it tightly or let it go. Interestingly he will not be riding any other league this year, as he has a full weekend diary on the continent with grass track and long track commitments. Isn't it great we are able to talk about young Brits coming through? Long may it continue.

A very brave prediction there Starman. You will be the one looking the numpty if you get turned over at their place. And there's every chance that could happen.
