My daughter and I are heading to Arsenal on Saturday to see Cherries win. Not an Arsenal fan but support English clubs in European matches.

Certainly is down when Poole clash with Bournemouth. There are many fans that go to both. Champions league next Wednesday. A shame there’s a clash which could have been avoided.

A shame Poole were not riding against Oxford this week. Yes I know Oxford are riding v Plymouth on Wednesday, but next Wednesday clashes with the PSG v Arsenal match in the Champions league. Might have been an idea to ride on a Friday or Sunday as it’s a holiday weekend?

Different companies. Some in-house like Redcar, Berwick and Edinburgh. Poole is streamed by Andy who also films at Plymouth and I think Oxford. Varying quality from multi cams to a single cam, but to watch Pirates at Edinburgh for £12.99 is a bargain compared to travelling. Just wish Glasgow would enter the 21st century. Highly frustrating they are the only club to still be in the dark ages.

Click on where is says “live stream started”. I am not using it tonight but it’s normally very reliable, and the stream is available to watch afterwards.

Nasty crash. Wright holding his arm. Collarbone? Footrest of Kildemand gone into Brennans chain.

It’s on speedwayRUS on telegram right now.

Peter Schroek. ‘We are just as good as them.” Er no. You most definitely are not.😂

Magic was second in the world a little while ago. But his star has dimmed. Boughen. Gate and is a rocketship. But if he sees a rider alongside him the throttle is shut off straight away, then throttles off going into every bend.

Probably a large TNT audience tonight but oh boy this is a dreadful advert for the sport. Seems the Oxford team are very weak overall. Kildemand was past his best 5 seasons ago. Janowski clearly on the way down from his peak. Tungate seems disinterested.

They know when they sign for Pirates it’s 100% effort. If riders fail to do their job, they know what will happen. Always been that way since Matt took over the club 25 years ago.

This is really bad. Sparce crowd, dire “racing” with Oxford appalling.

Tom had proved himself throughout the season. Kerr hasn’t proved himself and looks right off where he needs to be. When he was announced I was disappointed. Just feel his best days are behind him. Want to be proved wrong. Tonight felt like my opinion was about right. Let’s see how he does in the next few meetings.

Well you can blame it on gate one, as it caused us problems when it mattered, but a second heatleader scoring 2 points is ridiculous. You can blame Matt Marson but that would be harsh. The rest more or less did their jobs, Rowe and Cook affected at the end by gate one. Plymouth just did their job and deserved it.

Thought it was an issue my end. Had to keep refreshing it.

2,0,0,0. I think he was the problem.

I guess I will get some grief from Gary tomorrow when I see him at Vitality. 😀 No doubt Plymouth benefitted from Barkers withdrawal but really Pirates should never have lost that. Heat 14 was so important and we had Zack on gate one. No way he was going to be able to out gate either Plymouth rider but what was a disaster was that Starke was in third and we needed Zack there. Race was lost after a lap. Rowe did everything in heat 15 to pass Thompson but he was such a disadvantage off the start he just couldn’t make up the ground. In the scheme of things not a complete disaster as we just need to beat Oxford at home to progress.

Think Plymouth were better without Ben. Thompson and Bowtell revelling in the starts.

Kerr a disgrace tonight. Not acceptable as the second heat leader. Well done Plymouth. We had gate 1 in the last two heats and had no chance around Plymouth. Rowe was off gate one in heat 15 and tried everything but without a chance. Kerr needs to be read the riot act. Had all winter to prepare and rides like a dog.

Long delay. Staff having trouble fixing fence.

Nasty one for Barker. Went wide, hit fence and bike and Ben flew over top. Walking to pits holding his wrist.

Watching the stream. See the price has gone up, but cheaper than a 6 hour round trip. Looking forward to it and should be closer than Wednesday. Plymouth definitely stronger in the reserve berths.

Ok thanks.
