Welcome on board the Pirate Ship Joe Thompson A youngster I have seen develop alongside his brother Dan at Leicester. Let's all get behind Joe because he has had his confidence issues and now is the time we need all 7 Pirates riding collectively at their best. Will miss Adam and hope he has a speedy recovery. C'mon the boyzzzzz!

C'MON THE MONARCHS!

I'll be traveling down again on Sunday for this one & looking forward to a Pirates victory over an Edinburgh team that av hopefully beaten Oxford a couple of days before. Me thinks it's a 54-36 victory for the Pirates but with 3 Cooks on display there may well be the occasional spicy moment! C'mon the Boyzzzzz

Joe didn't look confident on the bike last night, hope Adam is back for the play offs as he is the best number 7 out there.

We're gonna win the league We're gonna win the league And now u better believe us We're gonna win the league

Top of the League Warming up nicely C'mon the Boyzzzzz

They not bearing up!

The Bears will lose their necessities & the Pirates to win 51-39

After tonight we go TOP of the League if we get 50 or more! Up the speedway league we go!

I've brought the garden gate with me just to see if anyone can make a better gate than me! I'd better watch out for Lawson & Worrall coz I understand that they are good with a saw!

C'MON THE BOYZZZZZ

Excellent, looking forward to seeing Darcy. Thought we'd missed our chance to welcome him after the rain off where he was due to appear.

Lisa, we should play this liddle tune....... https://youtu.be/9-PAb8vcQ3Q

In London Victoria enroute to the Pirate Ship time for a Costa flat white, and I don't need to even ask for it now as they recognise my Poole colours All looking good for a great night of racing on the South Coast where it's sun sea & speedway And c'mon Joe Thompson, like to see you score 4 or 5 points for the Pirates. All the Pirates are so good at passing not their fault the opponents aren't! C'mon the Boyzzzzz

What a load of Tosh!

Pirates to dominate from the off in this one with a 51-39 victory NID And to note........I was the first one to get out of our yard gate this morning but my start was called back because I forgot my keys!

We Didi it Boyzzzzz! Yes Yes Yes! Who do you think you are kidding Mr Godfrey if you think we're on the run! An amazing win for the Pirates who keep battling on & never give up....... C'MON THE BOYZZZZZ And what a fantastic effort by young guest Sam Hagon who also spoke well about what it's like to be a Pirate, play it again Sam........ "Poole is an amazing club and it is always good to be asked to guest for them. I did a lot better tonight than I did the last time I was here and I enjoyed it out there. I have to say speedway is a lot easier if you can make a start and I just couldn’t make one but I kept chasing and when I found a bit of fresh air then it felt good. I feel that I am making progress throughout the season and I have noticed that when I am up against much harder riders it brings me on that bit more. It's been a good couple of days for me. I got a heat thirteen and fifteen appearance in the Premiership last night and then tonight I've been part of a winning Poole side." Extract from the Poole website

Poole talent spotted Nathan Ablitt a good upcoming British talent and kept with him all last season despite his lack of ability at Championship level with it being his debut season. They gave the kid an amazing opportunity and he is now starting to benefit from the experience. He will no doubt be back in Pirates colours again some day soon

Avin a Costa flat white in London Victoria on my return from WINborne Road Give me a few portakabin's & a new speedway venue.......I'll settle for that in the current climate. Workington are certainly putting together a fine venue from what was there before so maybe Mr Lawson should set the blueprint of how to do it properly.

I smacked his wrist already

If you watch anything on TV it's never as good as being there. The atmosphere at WINborne Road last night was second to none! And I'll second that!

Edinburgh

Another fantastic win by the Pirates this time over table topping Cheetahs. The win was NID but the bonus point......what a valiant effort by the Boyzzzzz being 16pts up on 4 occasions only to av it snatched away in a last heat decider. Poor old Ben in heat 9 with an ef when leading Nicholls & Masters turned out to be a crucial blow when it came to the bonus point. Luck came our way though with Nicholls early engine troubles. Special mention to Nathan Ablitt.......well done lad you are on the way after your apprenticeship last season as a Pirate. The confidence in your riding is there for all to see and you took a well deserved lap of honour after heat 2. You've come a long way and you will go a lot further in your career. C'mon the Boyzzzzz

And we're sh*t hot at it! But like everyone else has told.yers Roynon is injured.

Steve u naughty chap! 5-1 to Pirates in heat 2 NID! Ablitt could well strengthen Pirates at reserve given Adam's recent performance, 3 retirement's in one meeting is inexcusable. Give it large for Nathan! Get well soon Adam as I'm sure u will get back to performing well
