Pirate Rich

Zach is 25 though!

According to the racecard on the BSN website, we have Jason Edwards guesting for Zach at Glasgow on Friday. Anyone know why?

Making my first ever trip to Peterborough tonight, presume there is plenty of on site parking?

I must say that I thought Drew would really kick on this season, hasn't really happened though.

Coming up from Poole for this one, I have my Unipart parking ticket, is the car park easy to find, is it signposted? the directions supplied are a bit vague!

I must say I was surprised at the outburst from the promotion re Basso moving on. I thought it was a given that he would not be back for 2022 considering all the clashes with Danish fixtures. It's one thing to sign halfway through a season, and I was glad he did!, but to commit to a full season would not have worked for him or the club. I for one am grateful for his contribution to Poole's success in 2021 and wish him well for the future.

Well done to all at Oxford and I hope this gives a feeling of optimism to all fans who have lost their track. On a personal note I lived near High Wycombe for most of my life and followed The "Rebels" from 1973, then to White City and back to Oxford again as The "Cheetahs". After their demise I started following the Poole Pirates and after many long journeys to Wimborne Road, did the sensible thing and moved to Poole almost a year ago. I wish all at Oxford well and hope they have a good season (but not too good!) just a bit disappointed to see that they are racing the same night as The Pirates!

Before moving down here we usually stayed at The Antelope, just off the Quay. About a 15 minute walk to the stadium, around £100 per room

It came from Matt Ford on twitter

Ryan Douglas to guest for Rory evidently!

Personally I would like to see the presentation of the riders start earlier and heat 1 start at 7.30. Also as regular track grading seems to be the norm these days do we really need an interval?

It is the speedway! the club logo is displayed on the banner and the information sheets. https://agilitypr.news/Poole-Pirates-Speedway-rev-up-as-new-spo-4524

Has anyone else been to the weekly car shows on Poole Quay? I have been to most of them and the event is sponsored by the Poole Pirates! Firstly I am surprised that the club has money to spare, secondly it seems a bit of a wasted opportunity. All the cars have an information sheet which they can display in their windscreen giving details about the car, at the bottom in fairly small print it says 'sponsored by Poole Pirates' There is also a banner outside the Lord Nelson but no details about where the stadium is, when the next fixture is or indeed anything about speedway! Surely if we are to be involved then someone from the club should be at least handing out leaflets to the hundreds of holidaymakers that are wandering about?

Just to bring a few positives to the forum, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting (apart from all the restrictions). When I looked at our team I thought maybe Ben Cook could be the weak link, just shows what I know! Danyon Hume looked a lot better than his zero score would suggest and I was impressed that Zane Keleher took the opportunity to practice after the meeting. Everybody I think will improve as they get used to the track. And how good did the track look? I haven't seen it as smooth as that for a while! Also, even though I am an old 'un, It was great to hear some music that wasn't from 50 years ago!

At 12.10pm the website is still saying a minimum of two tickets, I thought single tickets were available from midday, anyone else having this problem?
