  1. Poole and Leicester meant to be back up here this month for Jubilee Final. Or are Glasgow not wanting to run their leg.
  2. Starke stopped that he could have cleared. Message to Starke. Poole are going to be in the final. Ref trying to make up for his early blunders. Awarded.
  3. Starke broke the tapes with his equipment. Rules are clear. Ref ignored rules. 21points now needed.
  4. Starke benefitted from his first attempt. Bailey looks like a top GP rider here and the opposite elsewhere!
  5. Penalised Poole again with Starke wrecking the tapes and all four back. Ref should have let it go.
  6. There is no risk of 30 points being overhauled. Not going to happen. If the lead was 18 points I would say the same. Not going to happen. The Poole team I riding too well and is solid. It didn’t happen when we were riding mediocre mid season, so why would it happen when we are riding well?
  7. No not bike issues. Just beaten up by riders with more desire and dialled in. As for Tom Brennan, as his career progresses he will certainly improve at Poole. I remember a young Chris Harris struggling for several seasons to get a grip of Wimborne Road and always flattering to deceive. Today, when in the right mood and with his bikes working, he can be untouchable.
  8. I think if a final is to be rerun, then the riders should start in a staggered order. The rider leading should start 5 metres in front if second who starts 5 metres in front of third. A rerun rarely sees the same rider order coming off the second bend. The leading rider in the first running often loses out. Unfair.
  9. We will win or keep it close. 60-30 is far too big a gap to blow. We have to come all the way up there for the Jubilee meeting as well in the next few weeks. Let’s hope the weather holds out. Glasgow have the makings of a very good team and next year, if they build well, could well be title winners. Cook has had issues. Hopefully they are sorted. Brennan is definitely one for the future. As is Ben Basso if they can keep him. Bailey? Great at home, poor away. Hume? Great lad and I would have kept him in the Poole lineup no doubt. Nicol. Not convinced. Incoming Pickering? I am hearing the Championship points limit will be lower next season so Pirates will not have the luxury of three top riders at heat leader. Danny Ford said the Poole team would need changes because of this but he wanted to keep the nucleus of the team. Expect the Cooks, Lawson, King or Worrall.
  10. Good news as Sunday is far better weather and it doesn’t clash with the big match of Swindon v Northampton.
  11. So it’s likely to be off again? A 3pm start to clash with the footy isn’t the wisest of moves. Sunday? Looking better.
