Shaleshifter Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 On Wednesday its the penultimate home meeting of the season in the championship for the Pirates as they take on the Oxford Cheetahs at Wimborne Road. The Piratess having drawn at Cowley two weeks ago just need to win to pick up the bonus point. Hopefully both teams will be at full strength or though it looks like Eric RIss will probably be absent with R/R in Operation. Thoughts?

Don't think r/r is possible, and it would have to be a 'no facility' [i.e. 75%] guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will there be the full Pirate 1-7 on track in the only fixture on Wednesday? If Kyle isn't fully fit there is quite the choice of possible guests.

Catalan Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Kyle is confident of a track return 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Looking forward to a good tussle. Pirates to run out winners but Masters always puts up a fight and Killeen is no slouch. 51-39ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 So a full Pirates 1-7 and an Oxford 7 with Cluff at 3. With a drop of rain forecast for Tuesday p.m. it should be another decent meeting with the winners also getting the aggregate bonus point.

Neila Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Hosepipe ban in Dorset now 🤔 but by the amount of dust in the stadium every Wednesday must have been a Hosepipe ban for weeks 😜🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to Mitch but he’s a number 7 on a 3.00 average replacing a heat leader. I’ll save my £22 this week I think as this will easily be another 60 points for the Pirates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll save my £22 this week I think as this will easily be another 60 points for the Pirates I'll argue he's better than that, got a 3.94 average from number 6, but agree there must be better guest options out there. Eddie Kennett perhaps? From a financial point of view, a heavy away loss means less points money to pay out & it won't hurt their next home crowd, as there's only Charges meetings left. Not saying i'd agree with that tactic (if that was the plan), but could understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
