Dickie Head Posted Sunday at 07:35 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:35 AM I see Shovvy still thinks Dan Gilkes is available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted Sunday at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:39 PM On his past history against the Pirates, If Ablitt gets 5 points home, or away that will be awesome😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted yesterday at 09:27 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:27 AM I think Poole will hit the 60+ mark with Pickering scoring 50% of Scunthorpe’s points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASpeedwayfan Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago 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.

I haven’t dug through the averages but they’ve got so much room to strengthen, could they entice a Worrall back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clubs are certainly more ruthless than others & will make changes to strengthen an already strong team! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Eck Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I don’t think even with being the only club utilising the “returning rider” rule for the “not been away” Ablitt, Scunthorpe lack enough riders who will improve their averages to ever be more than a bottom two team. I know we all have to be thankful for teams that survive but even the loyal Scorpion supporters must be frustrated at their team performances. As, clearly, is their manager if his comments at Redcar last year are anything to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably a number 5 away from competing with anyone and everyone. I hope they find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
