It reassures our deep lying insecurities Blobby. Leave us be.

Also, I’d draw as little attention to myself as possible if I were you, given the standard of chips at Armadale.

Is this Poole team actually too good? Might as well award them the trophy now to be honest

Lets be honest as soon as they got them two youngsters in at 6 and 7 barring injuries it was game over, normally to get one rider who can add four points to his starting average should win you the league let alone two. Throw in Lawson who is one of the top three riders in the league, Zach Cook who is to good now for the championship by far, Kerr who is capable of getting anywhere between 3 and 15 on a standard night, Newman who has ridden above expectations and being blessed in not having Bowes available which has strengthened them.

Any team who got them two lads at reserve, so long as the promoter had even a tad bit of ambition was going to win the league baring injuries it's just as well they didn't get Beau Bailey for Bowes in the end as that would have been another possible 8 point rider coming in on 4 starting average.

Well done Pirates. I think it’s safe to say they can start engraving ‘POOLE’ on to the KO Cup, BSN Series and Championship trophies now.

An embarrassing night for us. Good to see Harris back in amongst the point, as I’ve found myself saying after every most meetings: “what chance do you have when”… your two-times and reigning British U21 champion doesn’t score a single point from five rides, Howarth can’t exceed the number on his race suit in points, etc.

What’s the solution? It’s outright underperformance.

Nail on the head Cairn's, Rushden and Scott are the three best English youngsters by a country mile, Hagon has probably found his level alternating between reserve and second string but the other three so long as properly handled should be core England squad members for many years to come once they hit early - mid twenties. All at some point should also all be potential gp riders.

Sorry but you are right, if it wasn't for Harris and Flint it would have given embarrassment a whole new meaning. Hagon is I think worse now than when he was a Pirate, there has to be a better rider available. The play-offs seem a long shot for the Tigers this year.

Well done Poole, apart from Bomber Glasgow look poor. Can’t really make changes as would need to release a HL, think they will struggle to make the playoffs this year.

We don’t look poor we are poor, but everything will be alright once Cami gives us all his appraisal on how unlucky we were but at least the racing was fantastic.

Obviously there was no truth in the fantastic racing part of my sentence.

6pm and 31c in Poole. 🥵

And some still don’t believe there’s such a thing as Global warming. As temperature records break every year. 

Obviously the climate is changing as it has done for centuries, it's just another cycle of the world.

... and all put together within the same 40 point team building limit

Vinnie good entertainment if a little low on talent, I wish him all the best he does give it his all.

Not quite, Cairns will not add 4 points to his starting average.  It was always going to be vital to keep Kerr, far more reliable than Rowe, Newman is much better than expected, could or maybe should have kept Gilkes for Bowes but the jury is still out on that one.

Who are the best supported Team in the Championship and turning in a profit though.Poole can’t help it  if the majority of away riders can’t suss the track over a number of years.

Yes true and the majority went home happy, always good to beat Glasgow however poor they are at the moment. Luke Harrison was not a terrible guest, Flint did ok and Harris was good but overall not a good team, they will have to get Mario on his bike he uses abroad.

Between them they're not a long way off. Cooper's average will be 6.17 when effective, and Cairns is averaging 6.59 this season, albeit the official average will lag behind given he came in half way through last season. How many young riders have come in to the Championship and done that in recent times?
