After the surprising, but brilliant win at Glasgow on Friday this Wednesday the Redcar Bears arrive at Wimborne Road. Over the last 2 seasons this has been a tough encounter with not much between the teams at the end of 15 heats. Charles Wright, Eric Riss and Jason Edwards who all have had good meetings at Poole and then add in ex Pirate Danny King it could be a close encounter. Where I think Poole are stronger is at no2, Tobias against Jake-Mullford and I believe that we may have a slight advantage at reserve. Will depend on what Jody Scott scores don't think Ace Pijper will do much. The reserves could be the key. Thoughts?

Firstly, I am surprised that no Tigers fans have started a thred for this meeting. This is the first of two back to back meetings for the Pirates on their northern tour. I did both meetings last year and was lucky enough to see two victory's. Glasgow are riding high after Wednesdays win at Oxford and will be confident of continuing thier winning ways. I hope that Poole can put up a fight and keep it close but, we are not as strong as last season. Thoughts?

After Good-Fridays washout against Oxford, the arrival of Plymouth becomes the first meeting of the season. The Gladiators arrive at Wimborne Road in the Bsn series with several new faces in thier line-up including Nicolai Klindt, Lasse Fredriksen and Mitchel Cluff. Having lost at home to Oxford in the Bsn they could well be fired up to do well. Poole will do well not to underestimate them but I expect us to to overcome the challenge. Thoughts?

Pointless

I'm sorry but your post is ridiculous to say the least. Concentrate on your own club a little more than posting on threads with the Pirates .

Give it a rest. Every post you put up on the forum recently is eithet anti Poole or slagging off Vinnie Foord. There are people posting on here that need to get a life.

Your post sums up why so called Speedway fans will never be taken seriously. There's no fact in any of your statement. Just smacks of anti Poole and mouthing off in general.

Then why were they not excluded? It's a final so you expect hard riding and that applies to both teams. Your Oxford bias is clear to see in your posts. Up the Pirates.

Don't need to watch it. Killen was not taken out by Foord. Scott Nicholls was rolling at the start so it was called back. Ben Cook did not take out Ashton Boughen. Your post is complete nonsense apart from the Vinnie Foord and Jody Scott incident which Vinnie was at fault. Plus your stupid comment saying the ref was a homer. It's Poole not Poodle.

Grow up.

We all know you are anti Poole. Love to prove your theory wrong. Come on the Pirates.

Whose being negative? I think that if the weather does turn out to be bad tomorrow then Oxford Speedway should make a early decision.

Commiserations to the Comets. They have been a credit to the sport this season. Injuries certainly haven't helped them especially losing Tate early on in the year. I hope to see us lock horns next season and I definitely will be Coming up to the Gt Tyres arena at Northside next season. Well done to the Pirates.

You might think you can but the Pirates are coming to win. Up the Pirates.🤗

We're coming to get you Neil.😛

The play-offs for the Championship start this coming Wednesday when the Pirates take on the Comets for a place in the final. The other semi final on the sane evening sees the Oxford Cheetahs take on the Scunthorpe Scorpions . The Pirates have had the upper hand in all but one encounter with the Comets this season but that counts for nothing in the play-offs. Workington will require 3 guests to cover for their injured riders over both meetings and Poole will need a guest at reserve and possible rider replacement if not fit for Sam Hagon. Hope to get a good lead to take up to Northside next Saturday. Thoughts?

Hi Lisa, you maybe right but it's on the night where anything can happen. Poole to win hopefully with an Improved performance after last week.

They would be good options for the Comets however,just because they both scored double figures,does not mean that they will again.

After last weeks disappointing but not unexpected defeat in the league to Oxford the Pirates are back in action this coming Wednesday against the Comets in the Bsn. Last time the Comets visited in the league they were crushed 61-29. Not expecting the same result this time around and at this present time I don't know the 1-7 of the Comets. Poole need to bounce back from the two defeats in the league and set about building a good lead to take up to Northside next weekend. Thoughts?

This coming Wednesday the Pirates take on the Oxford Cheetahs in the search for league points. The Cheetahs have a powerful top two of Sam Masters and ex Pirate Scott Nicholls who both are good value to watch home and away. Especially strong around Wimborne road. The Cheetahs third heat leader being Ashton Boughen who guested for Poole on their recent northern tour. The second strings being Cameron Heeps and Jordan Jenkins and at reserve Luke killen and Jordy Scott. The Pirates having suffered their first defeat in the league last night at Scunthorpe will need to bounce back and pick up the points and also hopefully the bonus point also. My concern at the moment is the loss of form in young Sam Hagon and also that of Tobias Tomsen, who I think is still not recovered from his ankle injury and not fully fit. Reserves help to win meetings and he should be winning heat 2 at the very least. The other concern is the injury to Vinnie Foord and if he is out for the season than that will be a sad loss. We are still top of the league and a win on Wednesday will help to consolidate that. Thoughts?

After two brilliant performances away at Glasgow and Workington at the weekend it's destination Wimborne Road this Wednesday when the Glasgow Tigers come to town. Not sure who the Tigers are using as a guest for Stevie Worrall but it should be an entertaining meeting with a certain mr Harris in action. Expecting a comfortable home win but you can't take anything for granted. Thoughts?

There will be quite a few of us doing both meetings. Looking forward to the 4 days in the beautiful Lake District. I am staying in Keswick.

I am coming up Neil. Doing Glasgow on the Friday and Workington on Saturday. Will be good to catch up..

This coming Wednesday sees the recently arranged 1st Leg of the k.o.c between the Pirates and the Scorpions. The Scorpions being the current cup holders,defeating the Pirates over 2 legs in last seasons final. Can we get revenge? The Scorpions have several riders who go well around Wimborne road, including Jake Allen, Simon Lambert and Michael Palm Toft and Kyle Howarth. Connor Mountain has had good and bad meetings at Poole and they have also ex Pirate Nathan Ablitt. Not sure if Luke Harrison has ridden at Poole or not. We will need to be on our A game for the full 15 heats to take a decent lead up to the Eddie Wright Raceway whenever the 2nd Leg is arranged. Thoughts?

I think that the rain that has fallen 24 hours before the first meeting got down into the base of the track. I also think that there was more clay content in the track on Good Friday producing a lot of grip for overtaking.
