Shaleshifter Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 (edited) After a successful mini northern tour the Pirates take on the Comets at home on Wednesday after a 3 week break from a home meeting. After a 12 point win at Workington we should win this and also pick up the bonus point although you can't take anything for granted. Last year we struggled to win at home against them. Thoughts?

Bitza Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 (edited) Well it should be great to get back to live racing at Wimborne Road, I'm really looking forward to it. I might even have a celebratory hot dog. Harrison is a fair guest to have so am confident he'll make his contribution. The Pirates are more than capable of winning this one, but could do without poor reffing decisions and mechanicals. Let's Just have a night of great racing. PS I'll give the hotdog a miss, I Just like the idea. Edited July 21 by Bitza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Cluff stepped in last minute at Worky, so probably giving him another chance to earn a few shillings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 (edited) If anyone still questioning Bowes injury, he has said it is 2 fractured vertebrae and 2 bulging discs. Looks like he has more xrays done, assuming in Australia? Edited July 22 by LisaColette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Just got back. Other than Jeppersen who battled throughout, Workington were pretty awful. Good crowd in tonight but men against boys. Track on the slick side and regularly watered but dusty later in the meeting. Race of the night heat 15 with Jeppersen leading and a Lawson trying to get through up the inside. Start of lap four switched to the outside and went all the way around. Great ballsy riding to bring the house down. Nice to meet Neila before the meeting. He predicted a drubbing and that’s what was given. Safe journey back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
