Gavan Posted Wednesday at 10:36 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:36 AM Just now, therefused said: have you seen ritchings or starke ride this year out of interest? No I haven’t All I can go on is points scored If one of my reserves was scoring 4 or 5 most meetings and the other was getting mainly 1 or 2 then I would keep the one who was scoring most If in the next few weeks Ritchings scores better than Starke then that’s a different argument If one had to go today for Cairns then that has to be Ritchings As of yet I’ve not read one Poole fan tell me why I’m wrong but as usual just get the usual responses 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starke has been disappointing dropping silly points and looking off the pace Ritchings has been getting better every single meeting, you’d expect Starke to win tonight but I don’t think he will. Hopefully he proves me wrong as I would like to see one of the current pirates or Vinnie win it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetracer Posted Wednesday at 12:11 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:11 PM Will the result be based on just the 20 heats, or will there be a final for the top 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secsy1 Posted Wednesday at 12:52 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:52 PM (edited) With tonight's meeting being advertised as:- Harbour Masters Championship (National League Riders Development Individual) Then why is Paul Starke replacing William Cairns? We Know William is injured, but which National League team Does Paul Starke represent?

Sings4Speedway Posted Wednesday at 01:41 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:41 PM Its also just clever PR. Obviously the original line up was competitive but also set so that Cairns would likely win or at least feature strongly. Now including Starke is an opportunity for him to prove he is better than anyone who might be after his place...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Rich Posted Wednesday at 03:47 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 03:47 PM According to the racecard on the BSN website, we have Jason Edwards guesting for Zach at Glasgow on Friday. Anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why? No, haven't seen any team news. Sure it isn't a typo? If it is accurate, fair play to Jason as Redcar are at Plymouth the day after! Edit - Barker at 2 for Glasgow also. Do well to get to 40! Edited Wednesday at 04:59 PM by LisaColette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Luke Mcdiarmid (not sure if I spelt that right!) isn't riding for Oxford either on Friday, neither is Luke Killeen, so maybe some sort of qualifier going on somewhere?

Gavan Posted Wednesday at 08:30 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 08:30 PM Feel sorry for any Poole fans that went tonight …. As soon as Cairns pulled out and was replaced by Starke it was obvious Starke would win this with ease best rider in the field on his home track …. I fully expect Rushen to go on to have a better career than Starke though If Cairns had have rode then the winner could not have been predicted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally 20 heats run in under 2 hours. Only 3 d/qs or slide-offs. Only 4 points separating the top 5 finishers. Well done to all and both current Pirates on the podium.

Steve Shovlar Posted Wednesday at 08:54 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 08:54 PM Starke decent tonight. Not up against much and only led for half a lap in his last before he blasted around Ben Morley. Pick of the rest was Vinnie Ford who got a very warm reception, and Richings who battled well. They all met in heat 14 and Starke just gated and rode away from any threat. No idea where Cook is on Friday. But with Barker guesting for Boughen we have no chance and will do well to get to 40 points. Fancy our chances better on Saturday at Workington.

Surely with the meeting being such a success,it wouldn't unreasonable to expect Poole to do More meetings to help young British talent instead of 1 token meeting a season could easily run a nl team and have few more matches at home. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
