Poole Pirates Vs Plymouth Gladiators 26th August Championship

[Shaleshifter]

On Wednesdsy the Pirates welcome the Plymouth Gladiators to Wimborne Road for the final league match of the season, before the play offs.

The Gladiators have former Pirate Danny King who always poses a threat add in Ben Barker who is almost always good value around Wimborne Road and is also a threat.

I am hearing that Troy Batchelor is guesting for the injured Scott Nicholls. You just don't know what Troy will do at Poole he can be good but often is disappointing. 

I think that Plymouths weakness is at reserve, Anze Grmek and Ben Whalley will likely struggle and with Daniel Klima no longer at reserve, then I feel Poole should win this fairly comfortably. Joe Thompson is also hit and miss.

Speedway can be unpredictable though so there is no room for complacency.

Thoughts?

You just don't know what Troy will do, period

I'm actually doing a bit of a mini southern tour. Plymouth tomorrow, Poole Wednesday. Hoping for two good meetings. Do you want me to bring a bucket of shale on Wednesday?

Only if it has some clay in it.😀

A win for Plymouth will be to finish the meeting with no injuries, and Lawson not putting anyone through the fence. Result doesn't really matter our  priority is the knockout Cup.🪖

Not sure Messrs Philips and May share your view about the result?

Sure a bucket full more and we'll be nicely topped up, thanks for the kind thought.

That could be a double bonus as I won't be able to see the non racing on that track and I won't be able to see my team putting in a poor performance on a crap track 😜. 2 meetings this weekend gone on better tracks and everyone enjoyed the meeting / performance maybe something in that 🤔😜
