Eagles v Pirates 22/03/2009Any predictions on this meeting ?Unfortunately I cannot make Sundays so I won't be there. |

| ray |
mothers day is far more important , only have one mother , and doubt if i will see poole every time they visit . my wife is a mother and our son thinks that is important . no problem in sorting out my , and our , priorities . 
|
||||
| ray |
what will be intresting at home meetings will be how many fans take their own seats , and how empty the grandstand will be , not so "grand "last season ",and probably even less this . 
|

I'll be there. I reckon about 48 - 42ish to us. 
I am concerned that we won't win many heats. Holder, Pedersen and Screen will be hard to beat. Lucas and Ricky will need to get us a few points too. 
Hope I am wrong and we thrash them like last time .
|

| ray |
yup , the best things are always worth repeating tweagle . last time was a suprise , but a wonderful one . thought we might win , but to marmelise 'em , fantastic

 Sounds like you'd rather count deck chairs than watch the Speedway, for goodness sake.

don't think i want to know where you park your posterior , me in my niave and tender years , maybe you will try to get to the " bottom " of things , but be careful not to get your bottom too near of certain things !!!

Still not got my head around which rider is at reserve with little Si.
Whichever rider is thrust in to the team I think will struggle. Don't know what their team will look like. Isn't Doyle injured? Narrow win for us. |
||||
| sussexbulldog |
It is Kling at reserve with Gustafsson.
Top three are Watt, Dryml and Norris. Yes Doyle is injured. |
||||
| Bazra |
Just seen that it's r/r for Doyle. Apart from Holder & Pedersen there should be no one really to scare us. | ||||

joe screen , after the way he rode on sunday ?
|
||||
| parker |
Do we still race in the same order as of recent years or is it now down to the Team manager to choose his team racing order because if its the latter could prove interesting | ||||
| sussexbulldog |
Apart from No 1 and the two reserves the 2 to 5 riders can be in any order. This is part of the keep it secret until the day strategy and why you can't print a program in advance with the riding order filled in. Shh!! we will get Ray going again
|

| ray |
in which direction david . just to wind parker up we will have to meet and sit in our chairs together . two orange chairs with two old men sitting in them , that'll start rumours .tell parker about your chair , sure he would love the hear all about bit

Eagles to win 49 - 41.
Poole will be out to gain a bit of revenge following that slip up they made last season when they lost out in another cup match  , so they won't want to do it again
We will have a point to prove to all those armchair experts who have purchased and engraved the "wooden spoon" with our name already; (any suggestions where they can put it  ).
Has all the makings of a decent match, let's hope it is injury free. Already 5 riders are injured, 3 may not ride again this season, and 1 had to be kept in a medically induced coma due to life threatening injuries, and the season is not yet 1 week old 
Kinda puts things in perspective. |

Well done to all the team. especially Simon who rode so well. Also Davey for beating their top two twice. Keep up the good work.
|

Good win by the boys, bit of a concern with Ricky but still early days. Poor crowd despite the good weather though. I doubt this Poole team will be the same one we meet on Good Friday And if Belle Vue 's promoter think they can make the play offs then we will finish above them for sure, looks like the witches for the spoon for me.

Watt: This is what we expect from a number 1
Woodward: Overall happy with cam, your not gonna get much change from racing pedersen then holder in your 1st two heats Bridger:Scored 7 even with having engine problems all afternoon i feel more will come from him in future weeks Dryml: Getting better and better the more he is on the track Kling: Will need to improve to keep his place. Gustafsson: Think his 11 points says it all |

And the away leg?
Simon did great, he seemed to be a bit tired at the end though. Ricky needs to attack the corners like Lukas was, Floppy looked ok but his bikes didn't seem that quick. Cam and Davey did sterling whilst Lewis did well despite bike problems. Screeny looked very good and so did Davidsson despite his fall on the last lap whilst leading and his clash of elbows with Bridger. |
||||
| Tweagle |
We were very solid all round. Ricky is a bit of a worry as stated above, but everyone else did pretty well, even if Lewis and Cam who were a bit out of sorts. 
Massive improvement from Lukas. He made a few half decent gates and was reasonably smooth.
Simon was everything we all know he can be. He's the best reserve in the EL by a country mile. However I suspect he will be in the main body after the first set of averages come out.
No way are we a wooden spoon outfit. We are far too strong right down the order. We won comfortably today with just 6 heat winners.
Anyone going to Lakeside ?. I probably am as its only a 35 minute drive away ?. |

How did Floppy look?? | ||||
| Tweagle |
Floppy was ok. He isn't particularly fast yet but he's steady. He didn't take many risks. Actually he fell as he dived under Bjarne Pedersen in heat 13.
In his 4 heats he faced Pedersen twice Screen and Holder. Since it was only his 2nd meeting back I would guess he must be well ahead of the improvement schedule he set himself.
He will be well worth a middle order slot throughout the season on this showing. A score of 5+1 from 4 rides against the team tipped to be second in the EL this year must be ok imho. |
