Pirates Of Poole

As a Poole fan and who went to the meeting. I sat in the big stand and didn't hearing anything, but that didn't mean this didn't happen, if it did then yes it needs to be dealt with by the club, as people shouting that are not welcome in our sport, this isn't football. We have young family's attending and they don't need be exposed to this. But this needs to be dealt with behind closed doors and not aired in public now after a number of press releases from Glasgow, it only adds to the fire of some and it will cause incitement. Speedway is struggling as it is and does not need further bad press in my opinion! Need to draw a line under this now and the club deal with any supporters caught will be thrown out the stadium going forward. Lets make one thing clear this isn't the Poole club I have supported for 35 years! we welcome all traveling fans to Wimborne Road!

I feel there is another agenda here to keep repeating it over and again in the press. Maybe trying to put off riders who are angling of a move to Poole over Glasgow?! Just a thought. Muddy the water?

It’s slowed up in the Channel now and not due until 9.30. The main bit has just changed direction and headed north which was what we were due, massive shame.

Very good guest!

100% agree! cut off for all league and semi final meetings should be completed by end of August. That gives the whole of September to run the finals with hopefully the weather on your side. Only way to stop it is fine the clubs.

Be interesting to see how the crowd is tomorrow night, not only running against England football team, but even closer the game taking place at Tatnam for Poole town! A number of people cross between both sports, me included as a ST holder at Poole town. Think the crowd will be poor tomorrow night, but the club had no other choice other wise it would have been late September. About time other clubs were heavily fined for not completing their fixtures or next stages in comps in a sensible time frame. Year after year we shall be heading well into October when the weather is poor and it ruins the meetings.

Tobias will probably be at Plymouth in 2026.

Taites currently rolling average is around 5.88! With regards to the Fords I don’t think they will ‘dip in their pockets’ easy option would be to keep Tobias which wouldn’t be a good move.

That will never happen!

3.81 average is a good average to build the team around, throw in Anders, Lawson, Zack (not sure) plus newcomers Bailey, Rushden and Taite Z would be a good base of a solid team.

Well with the final meeting to count towards averages on Wednesday for 2026, it gives us food for thought…. Cairns 3.81 Lawson 9.59 Rowe 7.38 Zach 7.34

Well done to Plymouth last night and especially Ben Barker, fantastic meeting. The inconsistency continues for Poole time and time again and that will be our downfall. Building next years team based on last nights performance we really need to have a clear out, some riders have got stale and need to move on.

I haven't seen Cairns being moaned about from any Poole fans! seems a wind up from other teams supporters! He is 16 and already done an amazing job and he will continue that in 2026 with Poole!

Like i said ‘half the time’ one swallow doesn’t make a summer!

Personally for me I feel it’s time for Zach to move on, he needs a fresh challenge and feel he has got abit stale on the Poole track this year. Been great for us don’t get me wrong, but like Kerr unless he gates he just follows the rider in front on the line for 4 laps half the time instead of trying outside lines etc.

Beau has developed well under the watchful eye of all times Pirates top scorer, Craig Boyce.

Plus Bailey likely a good basis of a team along with Rowe and Lawson. Will need more experience, would love to see Nic back at Poole next year. Klindt

Think no matter what average Will finishes on, plans will be in place. I would guess he will finish on a 4.00 average or near and would slot in nicely at number 6 with a 2.00 pointer at 7.

On the BSPA website. Clearly going through the motions which was clear to see Wednesday, he’s been great for British Speedway but think he has lost fight on the bike and gives up easy, surely a better option could be available now?

With the new GSA out for August and Paul now on a 4.00 - a good time to look around and see if any new 4.00 riders are willing to come over to the UK?

Yep re declare and get a 5 pointer and 4 in.

Think it has another 10 years to run with Gaming?

No, can’t see Poole visiting next Saturday. Hopefully then get sorted asap as now we have a large back log on fixtures and other teams waiting.
