Is that the we have the fairest track trophy? 😂
 

Certainly ain’t one of the three that was up for grabs. 
 

congrats to the pirates.

Glasgow won the "Entertainment Championship"...

Far more important in a pro sport to win that.  

Like winning the "fair play award" or "the most improved player" in football...

Heartbraking to lose after clawing it back to equal but incredible effort from both teams. 2 equal teams fighting it out over 30 heats and it goes to a golden heat, either team deserved the win but well done to Poole for getting it over the line. Villads engine failure could have been the decider for us but Lawson's and Tobi's exclusions could have easily went the other way so cannot complain.

Track took a few heats to warm up but really picked up towards the end, coincidentally coincided with Bomber starting to miss the gate 🤔

Both captains put in true captains displays tonight as well, great riding from both of them.

Hard to say if it was a mistake keeping Kyle in the golden heat, Dan looked a bit slow in heat 12 and Villads had an engine failure in his final race. Could have used Leon but he rides the exact same line as bomber wants so they might have gotten in each others way.

Hope some of the tension in the stadium made it through on stream, think the fan's heart rates were all higher than the riders.

Commiserations to Glasgow, what a fight they put up and took it the wire. Bomber was on another level tonight apart from heat 16. Well done to the Pirates. The meeting swung in a different direction during the night but Poole are the 2025 league champions. Fourth time in five years.

Success after success for Poole...

You cannot even say they are happy to be a big fish in a small pond, because even the top tier is no more than a puddle in the grand scheme of things with regards to pro sport recognition in this country...

A very astute leadership team, who run it like a business, not a hobby.   

Who consistently deliver what their punters want, which is the only thing that matters in business if you want to make money...

Very biased towards Glasgow tonight. 

Would’ve preferred for them to just show the celebrations, couldn’t believe when they were interviewing Harris, it was geared up all evening for Glasgow tonight dethrone the pirates. It did feel like Poole vs the world this last week. And the Pirates won

[Diablo]

Terrific fight back from Glasgow & just pipped at the line.

Was a good meeting in front of a big crowd but well done the Pirates & over to Redcar to stop the Poole juggernaut.

safe trip back to the few Poole fans who made the long journey.

He makes good pies though...

So, quite naturally, he has the perfect skill set to be an interviewer and commentator in the coverage of a professional sport....

Harris got interviewed because he won the rider of the nite vote, so they present the trophy and do an interview. Then they covered the truck parade and trophy.

Well done pilots gated when it mattered and the track slickened off so bomber struggled to pass. But a fantastic watch speedway was definitely the winner tonight

Yes well done with a crap track that was a disgrace to the sport 

Most of your team didn’t turn up tonight and you got away with it 

Celebrate your win but stop talking Bollox 

Why do you keep answering him, he can't see it, your on ignore 

[Wee Eck]

Has Glasgow now taken over the “best track in Britain” mantle from Belle Vue?

Both prepared by Andy Meredith, both fast and smooth but Glasgow provides closer racing IMO

[Jason.C]

A brilliant meeting for the neutral, a heart pounder for Tigers and Pirates fans. Glasgow did what I expected them to do and started to take control of the meeting until HT 15 when their momentum stopped.  

After seeing Howarth looking so rattled in the pits after finishing last in 15 I thought surely he would be replaced. A 2nd and 3rd repeat in the super heat would have been enough but Cook and Lawson finished in style.

Much has been said about the first leg track conditions, but why on earth would Poole set up the track to suit Glasgow? First look at Ashfield tonight before the meeting was as predicted, outside chopped up and super grippy for Harris. Nobody would have expected anything less. I rarely post these days , but it is always a pleasure to look in every now and then and enjoy reading the displeasure of the Pirates continued success from the anti Poole brigade.

 

Up the Pirates

Agree. It felt BSN were there to crown Glasgow. First thing they did instead of celebrating the victorious team was a dour interview of Harris being disappointed. What about showing the victorious team?

Terrible management by Brown, I was worried but once I heard he was using Howarth in the superheat,  I knew we would win. 

How could he possibly think he deserved a second chance.Flint had just given Zach a very hard time in heat 14 and Dan T had been good until passed by Kerr.

Flint is 100%effort but he very one dimensional in his riding,can’t make an inside pass and just holding on at times with his outside riding.When you see the class of Zack Cook against him in heat 14 it shows ,effortless to hold him off.

@TheWellBehavedWorrall Quiet tonight mate. You were all cannons on Wednesday. Got some passing so I thought you'd be delighted.

Kerr could have won that for Poole there 

Bob on,  the 4-2 Glasgow were on would have won them the meeting.
