I await the dirge from Poole supporters😁😁😁 The ERW is a mad track to watch racing.😂 I don’t know if it’s the same live, but watching on BSN, it doesn’t look like the riders ever go straight; it’s like a big circle. The starts are mad too. It’s like the bikes pull the riders towards the first bend, with gates one or two inevitably hitting the front. Gate four has no chance. Is that just me? This isn’t a criticism; I enjoy meetings at Scunthorpe. Plenty of actions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t a criticism; I enjoy meetings at Scunthorpe. Plenty of actions. I think they've done some work on Gate 4, I haven't been across the Humber for around 2 years now but when I did go. The guy off Gate 4 especially early on in the meeting usually to about Heat 7 whoever they were would win off gate 4 it used to be a massive advantage.

scunny1 Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Last match Scorpions v Tigers. 2 winners from gate1, 5 winners from gate2, 4 winners from gate 3 and 3 winners from gate4. Don't know what gate positions were in heat 15, but all in all there is a spread of wins across all gates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Scunny will do well to record a win at home. They will be well beaten at Wimborne Road. once again pole got the 2 best youngsters in British speedway. No brainer that both billy cairns and coop rushden-racing would score well above their assessed averages. With the veterans Lawson and Kerr and new Aussie kid cook really should have cleaned up ALL the trophies . They messed up in the kocup, pairs . should add the poff trophy, before their team split up heading for Poland in 2027 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I await the dirge from Poole supporters😁😁😁 Well here you go. It’s a bit of a fallacy that the Poole track doesn’t provide passing. The problem is Poole as a team are normally far too good at home for the opposition. Pirates gate and not many opposition riders can pass them. There are exceptions. Pickering, Masters and Charles Wright have proved it’s possible to come from the back but lesser riders just don’t have the pace or ability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, Berwick track could be similarly criticised in the Plymouth semi but the reality was that their riders were just better, riding the optimum lines, leading to limited overtaking etc, is the kinda criticism Wimborne Road gets after EVERY Pirates win ( have to point out these comments are from a very predictable dullard few).

Steve Shovlar Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 The weather for tomorrow is going to be dry. Any rain about is going to be to the west of the country so safe for Pirate fans to travel the 5 hours north. As it’s on a Friday we are aiming to leave Poole about 11am to have a stop on the way up and get there in plenty of time. Last time I went to Scunthorpe was a horrible wet night and we were well beaten. Hoping it will be a good meeting with plenty of great racing with both teams giving their all. Pirates to a rider will need to be right up for it and I am sure they will be. Really looking forward to it. Up the Pirates! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Scunny, this season’s surprise outfit, upset the reigning champions? With new averages in operation and assuming both teams are at full strength, I think we could see two home wins with the Pirates taking an aggregate win. WORK.

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 All the best to the Scorpions and the Pirates tonight. Hopefully I’ll manage a break from sending Cami Brown strongly worded emails to watch some of the action on BSN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
