Though I missed a few last season through health issues. Yourself? I ardently support the Pirates but I am not blinkered and if I don’t like something I will say it. We only missed one match, and if you look in the championship winning photo you will see us at Glasgow, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t think I know you. I have been home and away for the last 40 years. Surprised we haven’t crossed paths. But like I said, last season I have had health issues which have restricted my travels. Next season I will hopefully get away a bit more.

You say that but Poole fans get told all the time about posting on non Poole threads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted yesterday at 08:41 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:41 PM Grown adults arguing about the topic of discussion.😂 Anyway, for the sake of satisfying the topic police, I think Fraser Bowes could be a great signing. Is the plan for Cairns to start at reserve? If so, that’ll be huge for the Pirates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan was always for him to start the season at reserve, be interesting to see if he can get into the main body 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Poole need Zach Cook to save the day because the side looks a little weak at the moment. Gilkes can never stay fit hence why he's always on bargin averages, Kerr is declining and has no improvement left in him and Bowes isn't that good tbh.

Bit dramatic I think, Lawson was the best rider in the league last year, and certainly can do that again, Kerr improved as the year went on, if he picks up where he left off his average will certainly go up. Cairns has potential to be one of the best reserves in the league, so does the rumoured other reserve for the pirates. I can’t comment on Bowes other than he looked lightning quick in a few of his races round Poole last year. Gilkes will relish riding with Lawson and if he stays fit he could hit a GSA of 5. If Zach signs he will probably be the best number 5 in the league, so Poole would have the Best 1 and 5 and potentially the best reserves. And then 3 riders I expect averages to go up Edited 4 hours ago by ASpeedwayfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole always needed Zach back so very good news he will be. You can't say Gilkes will never stay fit, he has been unlucky with injuries and has had many but you can't say he will never stay fit. As for Kerr he now has a low average considering his ability so I expect an increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be great to bring this post up when Osborne has his way with Poole. You really are a first class w@nchor aren't you.
