I reckon the best we can hope for is to make double figures!!!
We might not like what Poole have done with their team.... but at least they faced their problems head on and did something about it..... and with a reported 40% reduction in attendances!
As far as i know Bridger is riding, Mcgowan comes in as a guest for norris and its r/r for Drymal, a guest for are 2nd reserve is as of yet not confirmed
IF Lewis is ok to ride..... IF we've got Travis in for Floppy and he rides like he did at Ippo last night.... IF we get a decent 2nd reserve (Poole are weak at 6 & 7).... IF we take advantage of the R/R for Lukas with (I believe) everyone able to take a ride....
We could make more of a contest of it than I first thought, and maybe they can reclaim the title of "Eagles"
Who the number 7 is and whether Poole's "poor" heat leaders have had a miraculous upturn in form will be the important factors. _________________ click here for the latest front page news
If we are to have any chance of even getting the 1 point we need everyone to stand up and be counted? I think its about time Mr Watt showed the form we expect from a No.1. Lets hope tonight is the night?
On other matters rider replacement for Dryml might work as I assume it means that Bridger, Woodward and McGowan can all take one of his rides and his away form has been pretty up and down this year?
Reserve is a worry. Let's hope we can at least get someone in who is half decent?
We are also all probably assuming that Lewis is fit? If he pulls out half way through the meeting it could be a very messy final score?
We also need Woodward to try and stay on his bike for 5 rides and Kling to avoid the tapes at the start!
Finally, as for McGowan he was a good guest last time out and I don't think anyone can doubt his commitment ? Anyway if the management consider that 6 points from 5 rides from Lyons at Belle Vue is a good effort he hasn't got much to beat For someone who has riden at Belle Vue for much of his career I would would have thought 8 or 9 points would been the minimum we might expect??
Davey - 8+1 from 6 rides
Travis - 11+1 from 5 rides - fabulous guest performance
Lewis - 14 from 6 rides
Cameron 5 from 5 rides
Ricki - 8+3 from 5 rides
James 0 from 3 rides
And just as a matter of interest both Pedersen and Andersen scored 13 from 6 rides for Poole.
Well what a surprise, to be honest most of us I think thought we would lose. Well done to all the boys, especially Travis McGowan. what a guest he has turned out to be. Just shows what they can do. Poole must have thought they had the points for tonights meeting, especially as we had so many injuries. Well done to ALL the team. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad

Unbelieveable. Pirates supporters must be sick of the Eagles. Just imagine what the result would have been with Simon riding instead of James Holder! Travis McGowan made the difference. Lewis performed like a Number 1 especially winning Heat 13 which has been a problem away from home.
Also I don't think Lukas could have matched the R/R score of 9 points. I hope Simon is fit for Saturday and we can do the same to the Bees whatever team they bring to Arlington.
GET IN THERE!!! Its like beating the aussies at cricket when we beat Poole for me and now doing it on a regular basis ,im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy,well done to all the boys,lewis seems to love it there(thank god he didnt go there!! in the close season) and riding with an injury as well,and cam came good when the chips were down again and won heat 14 with ricky. Travis done a trem job and davey weighed in with valueable points.Sorry i shoudnt hate any team but i just love it when we beat Poole!!! suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupa dooooooooooopa
Well, after 2 dire away performances where we thought we would at least pick up 1 point from each meeting, we toddle off for a day trip to the West Country without much hope,..........................and stuff'em
What a funny old sport
Brilliant form from a black and blue Lewis.
Excellent guest Travis, big thank you.
Steady from Davey.
Yet another decent score from Ricki.
Cameron, produced the goods just at the right time.
James, the experience will do him good.
Management must also be praised for an inspirational choice of guest, so all round a very good nights work.
Now, let's build on it and send Pratt, Sandhu and that demented lunatic Trump, who seems to be on a one man mission to turn the sport into a complete joke, packing on Saturday.
