We weren't to bad away from home,best in the league actually.Having said that we have had two humiliating defeats down there and i don't fancy our chances this time,but i do live in hope to keep it closer than the last two defeats.

Think Buster should only give them a bonus if they win it.Gives that little bit more incentive to give 110% and not just a 100%.

If previous scores don't mean a lot, how can you say we have the best reserve in MPT. Imo the one with the highest average over the season will be the better rider. Who knows it maybe MPT, but at the moment it is Worrall

Personally I think Worrall is the strongest at reserve, his average in both leagues also suggest this. People have just looked at how MPT went at Belle Vue and automatically think he is in awesome form.He is a bt patchy at home and very much away from home.Your reserves should definitely outscore ours at your place, hope not though

Having not been on for a few days, I thought I had looked in on a Punch and Judy script.You can see why Poole threads always get so many pages. Keep it up Shovlar and Gavan. Anyway looking forward to our trip down to Whingebourne Rdfirst time in a long while. Hope it's a good competitive match and hoping Lynn can keep it closer than last time to make the 2nd leg interesting

Blimey, didn't realise he had gone so low

Isn't Kurtz 2nd in your averages?

See you at Poole then.

Somerset definitely had the bad luck when Holder had to withdraw. Personally feel he is already a better rider than Kurtz and could have had plenty of rides last night, this swung it massively into Poole's favour. Plus I would like to any team being able to use a guest in all positions this would then stop races with only 3 riders. Having a number 8 doesn't cover one of your top riders.

Is there any speedway fans in Alcudia at the moment?If so get down to the Foxes Arms and they will show it providing they get enough people there.Just trying to drum up support so I get to see it too.Good luck to Lynn tonight hopefully get to see the match on telly and if we get through I will be home in time for the final

Think some people are going over the top a bit on the Allitt,Lambert,Etheridge spat.So what no blows were landed.Some people saying attacked,physical violence,blimey worse things go on in pre-school.A bit of passion is what is needed in the sport and sometimes it ends in a little bit of handbags.Think the worse bit was Summers how he pushed Allitt,but even that made me chuckle a bit.Passion,pride and adrenalin what a combination.

And Poole had quite a few too.Just two less than Lynn though. Anyway good luck to Lynn on Monday,can't be there as going away for a few days.But will be back for the final if we make it.

Incidentally where were Lynn in the league in July,3rd from bottom i think.

He would score less than Toft

Much rather see R.Lambert at reserve

Well i did say about the Belle Vue fan that had drunk to much and was quite aggressive,and i agreed with someone about him calling Proctor a cheat.The reason i put this is because it is all true,sorry if that has upset you

What an earth are you going on about

Blimey that didn't take to long with a hook,maggot and a float,thanks Shovvyhence the toungue in cheek smiley

Formality for the Pirates,the Poole riders know by now where all the potholes,ruts and oil patches are,that are set to catch the away riders out

I would think you would find ticket prices are increased for any final in any sport.

I've heard similar things to this.I think £20 is reasonable,but £25 totally unreasonable.

Just finished catching up with this thread after a very late night.Couple of diversions back from Manchester last night and dropping friends off i managed to get into bed at 3-30am. First of all not the best match seen at the NSS,but i'm sure most fans would still like to see this track as their home track.It was great to see us pulling off a win from being 10 points down.I was just hoping when we were 10 down that we could pull it back a bit and keep it closer for the 2nd leg.But to get an 18pt swing in our favour in just 8 hts i think was quite incredible,especially as Fricke was in 4 of those races. As regards the plank,he wasn't nice at all was he.Think he had too many beers and probably the one smoking weed which you could smell quite clearly wafting our way.He seemed quite an aggressive person too and said some unpleasant things about the Lynn fans.But as you said it was only the one person and you get them everywhere.He actually left before ht 15.A Belle Vue fan we chatted to actually said the plank hardly ever goes and when he does he is always the same. Got to agree re all the Aces fans bar one were good fun,and you could chat with any of them.And are in the same opinion as me,anyone bar Poole. On the Etheridge,Jorgensen battle.Imo Jorgensen did ride him hard but fair but the red mist seemed to be building up in Etheridge's goggles and after the race the fracas didn't start at the pits,it started on the 3rd,4th bend where Etheridge seemed to approach Jorgensen and went shoulder to shoulder or as near as damn it.This is when things started to boil over imo.Gets people talking though doesn't it,think that benefits speedway in the long run a bit of argy bargy on the track/pits.

Yes,that is the terracing on the back straight.I would think that is where we will be standing,that is another 5 of us.

Will have to make sure we get a spot early then,thanks for the info.
