Firstly,Coventry won't be back,Leicester won't be competitive with thier current team and your view that it would be a blessing on the sport for Poole not to be in the playoffs is pathetic.Obviously you don't like Poole as previous posts by you shows your contempt. I and many others except we are poor this year and don't have a problem if we don't qualify. Dumbing down the league every season has caused this situation and Poland not allowing riders to come over plus a lower points limit has caused a drop in attendances. Conference league clubs can't afford to move up otherwise Birmingham and Eastbourne would be at a higher level.

Weather permitting the Pirates take on the Rebels this coming Wednesday with new signing Edward-Kennett coming in to replace Krzysztof Kasprzak. The signing of Kennett has caused much gloating and mocking from rivals fans,but I am sure Eddie will put in effort and score points that clearly Was missing from Kk. Four home defeat this season is not a good statistic and a change of Fortune is much needed. The Rebels away form has not been brilliant in thier debut top flight season but can't be underestimated. Hoping the Pirates can find some home form and pick up 3 much needed points. Thoughts?

Surprised that this thread has not been started yet. Monday sees the Pirates travel to Monmore Green which has not been a happy hunting ground lately. Poole will have new Signing Timo Lahti making his debut in place of Nicolai klindt who's season is over due to his knee injury. I don't see Poole getting anything out of Monday's meeting but you never know. Paul Starke has hit form at reserve so will be key in the battles with the Wolves reserves. Thoughts?

After suffering their third home defeat this season against the Kings Lynn Stars, the Pirates will be looking to exact revenge on the Robin's who picked up 3-points in the A-fixture. Swindon have shown good form of late with wins against Wolverhampton and Belle-Vue and have riders who go well at Wimborne Road. Not sure whether Jason-Doyle will be fit to return but with David-Bellago,Nick-Morris,Adam-Ellis and new Signing Tobiasz Musielak able to take his rides could make them just as strong. The Pirates may or may not have made a change or two to thier line-out by next week but this is a must win meeting if we are to remain in the top 4 for the playoffs. Thoughts?

After another 2 weeks break in the fixtures partly because of the world team cup;the Pirates return to action with the visit of the Stars to Wimborne Road. Poole should be welcoming back from injury Krzysztof Kasprzak however,not sure whether Nicolai Klindt is fit to continue. The meeting with the Stars of course brings in siberling rivalry with Chris Holders fist return to Poole up against younger brother Jack. Poole need to start winning again after the home defeat against Belle-Vue. Should be a good meeting provided the track has been sorted out and poses some interesting tousles especially between the opposing heat leaders. Hoping for a home win. Thoughts?

Perhaps I overreacted to the wind up from Alexander Orlov's post and he may well have been stirring the pot.I have no problem with losing Gavan, Speedway like any other sport can throw up surprises. If a Poole fan had bragged whether a wind up or not and posted about winning at a rivals track,there would be pages and pages from the keyboard warriors spouting about arrogance. Enough said.

Swindon started the meeting on fire purely down to quick gating.once Poole started to eat up the deficit after heat 8 we only conceded a heat advantage in heat 13.The fact we were almost 15 points behind at heat 7 and still took it to a last heat decider says it all. I don't underestimate Swindon at all but certain Swindon fans on here have the match won before it's been ridden.

What shear and utter arrogance in your post you were lucky to win at Poole in the A fixture. Morris and Doyle top scored with Bellego and Ellis having a good night.Kurtz scored 8 and Holder 7 whilst Kasprzak scored a lowly 6 points. Only takes Doyle or Morris to have a off night and Swindon will crash and burn. Bring it on.

After another week without a home meeting the Pirates return to action to take on the Lions. The Pirates welcome the return of Paul Starke to the Pirates line up. This has not been without controversy with Kyle Newman being axed to bring Starke back in causing mixed feeling's amongst fans. Anyway back to the meeting I won't be underestimating the Lions but expect Poole to win this one comfortably however,not sure if Nicolai Klindt will be fit enough to return and if so what points he will get This could leave us weak at reserve if a guest is needed. Thoughts?

Weather permitting this Friday looking to make the trip up to the National Stadium to see the Pirates race on the best track in the league. The Pirates will be using Josh Bates for the Injured Nicolai Klindt and will be looking for a better showing then the K.o.c meeting back in April. The Aces having lost at Somerset last Friday will be looking to bounce back and defeat the Pirates. Poole have yet to win at Belle Vue and I am not expecting them to triumph but live in hope. Thoughts?

Next Wednesday sees the league leaders visit Wimborne Road which could be a tough encounter for Poole. I have started this topic before the result of tonight's away meeting at Leicester.I am hoping for an away win but taking nothing for granted. The Pirates have not had a meeting at home for a month, so could be a little track rusty with new temp signing Gzergorz Zengota making his home debut. Poole will need to all be at thier best to see off the threat from the Wolves. Thoughts?

Looking forward to the trip to Monmore Green on Monday although not a happy hunting ground of late for the Pirates. With other meetings scheduled for the bank holiday I hope there are not any riders missing? Looking on tonight's updates I see that Jack Holder has been withdrawn from the meeting at Armadale with a knee injury. Hope this not to serious. Back to the meeting Wolves are the form team and at Monmore are virtually unbeatable. Poole will need to be at thier best to get anything from this meeting.

Well next Wednesday sees the visit of the Rockets to Wimborne Road for the first time in 27 years I believe. The Pirates lost up at Hoddesdon by 5 largely thanks to gaining an 8-1 to get back into the meeting and some determined riding in heat 15. Poole will need to get back to winning ways after last week's home defeat to the Swindon Robins. The concern at the moment is the form of Krzysztof Kasprzak who clearly is well of the pace and is a pale shadow of the rider the Pirates fans are used to seeing. Not sure if Kyle Newman will replace Lewis Kerr next week but the whole team need to step up and claim 3 points. Thoughts?

Have to say I was not expecting that result however,just like any sport results are not always forgone conclusion. Well done to Swindon who were far far much sharper and more determined then the Pirates over the first half of the meeting. Poole have been so used to riding a slick track every week that when it is grippy like early on they were left flondering. The gloating from the Robin's fans was to be expected but as has been said it's along season. So making predictions about being in the top 4 is a little premature. The Pirates will bounce back from this defeat so dont write us off just yet.

Ha ha Starman,my stupid Internet connection was running slow at the time of posting so I inadvertently posted twice The art of creating a motorway surface just for Speedway

The weather forecast on the bbc has changed from earlier on and now has heavy rain showers right through to late evening so this could play havoc with any track prep. If the meeting goes ahead I will stick my neck out and go for a Pirates win by 10-12 points. On another note it was good to see Kyle Newman come through last night's fixture at Berwick unscathed.

You may well be right One of Clubs,Kaszprzak can go missing at times and certain tracks and conditions can affect his mindset.Whether it's your season or not remains to be seen. Will be coming up to the National stadium next Friday for the knockout cup match with a certain Mr Shovlar so we will see how both teams fair over the two meetings.

Looking forward to tomorrow night although on a sad note with the news on Kyle's potentially season ending injuries it's put a damper on the season,but the show must go on. I did not go to Monmore but spoke with Steve Shovlar who was there and it appears that some riders have not found thier form yet but let's see if we can pull back those 10 points and claim the first trophy of the season.

Really in your opinion of course as you are not a fan of Poole. My view is that the top 4 could be a combination of Poole,Kings Lynn,Wolves,Rye-House or Belle Vue. My opinion of course and anything can happen during the season injuries can make or break a team if they occur. Anyway good luck to all teams for 2017

Ha ha Bwitcher,very droll just because Shovy got upset with Pk.

What a complete and utter waste of time posting drivel.Childish post from you but if it makes you happy. Put your money where your mouth is and prove that Poole cheated?

Can't help yourself Ouch can you?

Will be making the trip up from Hampshire for this fixture and looking forward to the meeting. Entertainment is always top notch at the Eddie Wright Raceway.

The Pirates take on the Stars next Wednesday incredibly for the first time this season in what will be a tough encounter. Kings Lynn have a solid 1-7 and with the likes of Iversen and Lambert in their ranks will make it an entertaining meeting. The Pirates will looking at nothing less then 3 point's at home and hoping to get a result at the Norfolk Arena on Thursday. Thoughts?
