A formality

Wouldn't surprise me if Poole won both legs of tie

[Dickie Head]

I see Shovvy still thinks Dan Gilkes is available.

Have to say the Scorpions on paper look like one of the weakest teams in the Championship this year imo. Pressure on Pickering to max out every match, with limited support. 

While the Pirates have already had a couple of meets to blow Away the winter cobwebs. Cairnes seems to have come on since last season, and Kyle looks like becoming a real asset. 

It's Poole for both legs for me. 

[scunny1]

On his past history against the Pirates, If Ablitt gets 5 points home, or away that will be awesome😁

[Whitelinehugger]

I feel a hammering coming on.

[TheWellBehavedWorrall]

I think Poole will hit the 60+ mark with Pickering scoring 50% of Scunthorpe’s points.

Can only see a Poole win. But hopefully Scunthorpe put up a fight and we see some good racing. 
 

Do we expect the scorpions to make some early changes? With Pickering average coming down and them having points to play with now?

So Scunny have an extra 1.66 to play with. What change(s) can you foresee?

Rob Godfrey tends to stick with his old faithfuls

I expect a routine fairly easy win tonight but this is speedway and what you expect doesnt always happen. Picko will score plenty and Simon Lambert has had good meetings at Poole but cant really see it being too tricky especially with local boy Kyle Newman going so well, he should be kept in my opinion.
