Saw an interview with cooper from p+p for a barely 16 year old he came across very well, good luck to the kid, looking forward to watching him at a few places 😀 but won't be cheering for the pilots 😜

Hi Neil. Guess what I won't be cheering for Comets either. 😀

Hi all, looking for a bit of advice. I’m coming down for Poole v Scunthorpe next week and was planning to park at the stadium. What time do you usually need to arrive to get a space? And if it’s full, what’s the best alternative - town centre parking and walk over?

Assuming it’s back to 7:30 start. 6pm I’m sure you’d get a space, and worst case scenario you’d be directed into the school car park, I usually get there closer to 7 and have never not been able to park in the main car park or school.

Assuming the Poole management would already have a plan for Zach tomorrow, is it R/R or is there a guest to come in?

R/R

Also there are plenty of residential side roads off Wimborne Road to park down.

Thank you both, thats great info and really reassuring, not been to Poole for well over a decade and will have my little one with me so it's good to know we should be able to park at or near the stadium. Really looking forward to it and hopefully we'll see a Pirates win :)

They changed their minds then? 

"On Easter Saturday, the Pirates will head to the Coliseum without skipper Zach Cook,due to a Polish commitment. The Pirates will operate rider replacement."

 

Is poole not a commitment??,first saturday of the season and 2 teams have riders missing time for someone to make a stand stay home or go !

I would imagine a decent guest became available because of postponement elsewhere. Batch my guess or JE

I usually get there around 5.45 ( gates open 6.30) and there are usually plenty of spaces. The car park is used during the day for public parking including hospital day workers. If an overflow is needed the school next door is made available. The stadium charge £3.50 cash on entry on speedway nights. Enjoy.

Would rather have used r/r. Is Edwards a track specialist?

He is an ok guest, maybe they have gone with r/r because Lawson had a crash and we need a bit of back up. I doubt it is a favourite track of Edwards though and will likely struggle if he doesnt gate.

He scored 6 from 4 rides there last year riding at 3. But the Plymouth team on that day was horrendous. Littered with guests. 
He’s done a good job guessing for us in the past, Sedgman would’ve been my choice with his meeting PP. 
I don’t think 4 points will be enough but hoping for a surprise

This is a 3 team league so losing the aggregate point isnt the end of the world at this stage.
