Pirates could have had 60 but gave Adam Roynon his full quota and didn’t use Lawson and Worrall in heat 15. It was all over in the first 3 heats and it was a very one sided meeting played out in front of a small crowd. Lots of Pirate fans made the trip to cheer on the boys, some getting very nicely pickled. Next up the matter of a trophy on Friday night.

Come and find me on the first/second bend with the Poole fans, unless I see you first. Will be with my young daughter who has never been to a speedway meeting away from Poole.

As expected Danny King guesting. Good guest and perfect cover for Morris.

Not when I have a 3 and a half hour journey home. Who have Brum got in for Morris?

Well done to Anders Rowe. Best rider there by the proverbial mile but missed the gate in the final but still got through to second. Bailey with his ex-home track advantage stole it but it was a good meeting.

What about back to London in future. West Ham’s London Stadium would be perfect.

There’s no collywobbles to be had about this meeting. We can all watch the stream on BSN. Champions will not be in doubt but Poole will hopefully not just go through the motions to get 30 points. Think they will want to win on the night. Forecast shows a small risk of a few light shower in the afternoon. Shouldn’t put the meeting in doubt.

Start time?

Reruns never give the same result. Well done Dan Bewley!

At least had decency to apologise.

Do or die move. Nasty and ridiculous.

This current series is extremely week compared to every other year the GP has been run. Past it riders hanging on, some making their way, and none with any consistency other than Zmarzlik who has been given n easy ride by every other rider in the competition. Weak and pathetic.

You think Nicki Pedersen would have left a hole? Crump, Rickrdson? Gollob? Hancock?

Absolutely. Very poor tonight. Did the pass then left a gaping hole. Block Zmarzlik! He wouldn’t have passed if Lambert had been tougher. All too easy for the pole. Others need to be tougher!

Or leaving a bloody hole. Poor from Lambert. Ruthless? Limp wristed more like!

But if Lambert was there on the inside, Zmarzlik can’t ride through him. Instead left a bike size hole. Pathetic!

Sick of all the room others given to Zmarzlik. What the actual Eff was Lambert doing not closing the door? Can’t make it any easier for the pole!

Not close since Poole have been in the Championship. Nothing to do with injuries. Poole have always built better teams. More thought required to properly challenge for the title.

That we would win a couple of years ago Brian and we were soundly beaten. Nothing is guaranteed!

Nice of him to throw is money at an Aussie when there’s young Brits desperate for any help. As I always suspected, the tattoo is proof enough.

Two Brits look good and nice racing styles. Woffinden there supporting the Aussie kids.

Thanks. I will check out the engineering works as don’t want to be hemmed in at the stadium.

Thanks will take a look. What’s at Star City? Got daughter with me who likes shopping! Can we park at One stop for speedway?

Looking forward to coming up for this one. Can we still park at the One Stop? If not, where? I am in Birmingham all day. Is there any place actually worth visiting in the area? Struggling to think of anything. As for the meeting, I am guessing a guest for Morris. But whoever Brum get in shouldn’t really make much of a difference and I can only see a Pirates win here. Would be disappointing if we didn’t. Quite a few Poole fans making the trip up, and heard there’s a small coachload coming as well. The weather looks set fair.
