I'd be more concerned on why a guest for Cook whose chosen to ride in Poland over the club he captains personally!!

Something very strange going on me thinks.

Probably Poland flexing their muscles again

Not sure why it is such an issue when Klindt already did the same for Plymouth. Which I questioned at the time and was told as Poland have priority, having a guest is fine.

When someone's questioning facilities for genuinely injured riders feel it's pertinent to the conversation to explain the dubiety of Poole's guest. Didn't agree with that either, a0.75 facility should be all that's allowed imo

Because our reserves are weakest in the league. R/R for Dan all top 4 can take a ride I believe. 

Edwards big upgrade on Cook on ashfield form 

What’s your weak reserves got to do with RR being at 3 instead of 2.

Jason Edwards replaces Zach Cook at 3. Anders at 5. Rich Lawson as Capt.

Glasgow have Barker replacing Boughen!!! R/r for Thompson

Even without Thompson & the hardly equal guest replacements, Poole will find it very tough. Our best bet is the weather to intervene but even then, it will be difficult.

Barker is definitely an improvement over Boughen, only needs to score a point

Yes Barker is a good upgrade for Boughen and Edwards is a upgrade on Zach in his current form for Poole. R/R should work for DT for Glasgow, we do have the better reserves and Starke rode for Glasgow last season so that should be a plus. Overall expecting an easy home win.

Not a choice, Polish fixtures take priority on Fridays so as soon as his Polish club called him in that’s that annoyingly.

Because Cami the team manager knows what he's doing (never thought I'd say that). r/r at 2 means Chris Harris in heat 8 - waste of your top riders' extra ride coming against a reserve & second string imo

How's it a waste? It should (virtually) guarantee 3pts so at worse a 3-3 and if the Glasgow reserve can beat the oppo reserve it should be a 4-2, rather that a "weaker" rider as R/R and potentially losing the heat? (IMO).

Thompson underwent surgery in Bangladesh this week . His wrist is now full of titanium so I’m hearing. On route home he fell out the back of the tuk tuk and sprained his other wrist so I’m told .

You'd expect barker to be able to do the same surely though? Rather try and 5-1 in heat 3 than a 3-3 in heat 8

I, stupidly, thought (wrongly!!!) R/R was at #2, rather that the #3 that they've gone with!!!

What time does the Lewi Kerr character assassination post usually happen at.

Just so as I can get the popcorn on my way home.

Thanks in advance.

It varies depending on what number he rides at and which races he's in!!😄

Misread the question, thought she'd said r/r for boughen and not for Thompson..no need to get your nickers in a twist 

Wow your sensitive,just stating the situation.

on another note I think if we come out of tonight with a 4-6pt defeat we’ve done well.

I respond in the manner that I'm questioned 😁.

Be tighter than what some Poole fans have been saying. Barker could go either way really and an injury to one of top 4 would kill us. Few showers around as well could make track conditions bit different to what they have been

As I understand it, Bringing in a Guest for THOMPSON,means R/R for Boughen.

Boughen rides would only allow 1 rider with an average above Boughen and the other 3 rides taken by Tigers Reserves

Having a Guest for Boughen means all Tigers , 1 - 5, Can take an extra ride for Thompson, as he tops the averages.
