Mitch rode a blinder when he was there a couple of weeks ago - 14 points with 4 wins.

Didn't have a lot to beat mind but saw off Kerr, Cairns & the new hero.

 

Well this aged well! Was on for a point at one stage til he fell off. 

It was said there might be guests on both sides on Friday at Glasgow. So full team didn't last long!

Is that honestly the best rider they could get? 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 

So Pirates scored 60 and Cluff got 0, who’d have thought it?

Well I guess lightening don't strike twice, nice 360 spin pity there's no points for stunts mid race.

All the post match commentary was about how great it was having a full team come the pointy end of the season. So much for that, who's not going to be available?

It’s that time of year again when mr Lawson manipulates his average, but when your team mates are that good it’s a bit easier to do, in all seriousness though i think the fords are going to have some big decisions to make in the winter as this team will have to be broken up,as I’ve said before I’m a Plymouth fan but you have to take your hat off to Poole as year after year they get it right, well at home anyway some of the managerial decisions from your team manager in the away meetings are a bit baffling any chance he can manage the team when we come to town next week

Idk, they didn't give names. They just said guests on both sides. So going by process of elimination, can only be Zach and/or Slater. I thought maybe Will was needed in Poland again but he complaining about the long trip up to Glasgow so can't be him.

No, because it is just when we are above the midlands 😉

Glasgow are using Rowe and Grmek to cover for Howarth and Hausl.

Poole use r/r for Cooper Rushen.(Kerr, Cairns, Newman and Lightcap can take r/r rides)
