Pirates Of Poole

Where is Joe Thompson in the Champ?

A 2.00 pointer, look to the future and get a young up a coming British Rider. Shame Hagon on a 2.00 has now been snapped up, proved it tonight at reserve. Why don’t the club go all out for Ashton Boughen signature when he turns 16? I’m all for giving Adam a chance, but his form has been poor the last 6 weeks. If there is a better young British option out there, that’s going to score the same 3-4 points a meeting and become an asset why not?

Adams form is a concern and his 2 engine failures are unacceptable. Boys need to dig deep.

So looking to the future, who is getting the signature of Ashton Boughen for next season?

I presume Poole will have Worrall and Rowe missing for the home match against Birmingham on the 26th?

Him slotting in would certainly make us stronger in my own opinion.

This will be a real test to see where we are as a team against Glasgow, let’s hope we keep it close and bring the trophy back to Wimborne road. Will need Worrall & Lawson on it from the start to have any chance.

Would guess the Poole management are keeping tabs on Tate and also Rew if an opportunity pops up and schedule allows.

Well done Oxford you wanted it more than some of our riders! I said on Friday at Redcar, we are going to get found out when we start riding against Glasgow/Oxford as we have been carrying too many riders at times during the last month. I’m sure people won’t agree, but still think we are at least 1 maybe 2 changes away from potentially winning the league again. This current team I think will fall just short when it matters. We shall come back fighting!

First ever visit to Redcar last night. Fantastic track and fans, very welcoming. Good meeting. Only question I had was heat 14 not having Kyle in for Adam. Kyles previous ride showed he was on the pace and got the set up. Thank fully though Adam took the 1 point. Prep probably not great for Adam who arrived at the track a lot later than the rest of the team who were already out on the track walk. Great win for the pirates. Special mention to Lawson who was brilliant all night.

Great performance from the engine room of the team yet again. Cooks and Newman absolutely riding above there current averages. Concern for Lawson and his injury surely it would make sense for him to take some time off as currently a shadow of the rider last year. Worrall again is a concern but on the plus side, the way it’s going he will be at reserve maybe.

Lawson is certainly carrying an injury and it shows, but a great team effort again and the Cooks and reserves come to our rescue. Steve’s home form is a massive concern, can’t beat any away teams heat leaders consistently all season. Hope he can get it sorted otherwise our luck will run out when riders making up for him have an off night.

Where is Anders today?

Hoping Steve can get going as can’t seem to get any consistency with his scores. Certainly when up against teams big hitters he can’t do it currently. The way it’s going Lawson will be at 1 and Ben at 5 with Steve at 3 at some point. I know averages don’t count currently but fingers crossed he can get himself sorted.

Yes, not looking ideal at all now.

Thanks Steve for the information, much appreciated. Tickets booked & carpark, hoping for good weather and a Pirates win!!

Just looking to book online tickets and notice it shows an option for ‘Unipart car park’ is this the stadium carpark or one somewhere else?

Any live feeds for this meeting likely?

He will need to hit the ground running otherwise can see changes very early. Hope I’m wrong but think he will struggle in the main part of team. Will drop to reserve but team wise I would hope the main team at the start of season keep the pace and stay in the main body of the team keeping Newman & Roynon at reserve most of season.

Welcome to Poole Anders Rowe!

Still can’t see Danny planning changes in May even before the season has started, that was my point! We have other competitions we would go out of early on.

With the shorter league fixtures we need to hit the ground running otherwise the season will be finished by the end of August! So thoughts of changes in May I would be surprised.

Would be great, but don’t think this will happen.

Welcome to Poole, Adam
