Interestingly the Poole team average tonight was just over 41 with Dougie's average and Swindon slightly over 43. And what was the score after H14, when everyone had 4 rides? 41-43!!

Get well soon Terry

He was sooooo good. He definitely has the Chris Harris style of racing in the dirt and never give up! Seriously if anyone needs a 2 pointer at Poole he's your guy! Yeah, he seemed to be enjoying himself..said the Poole track is the best it's been for a while (thanks to the rain I think!) Rew said he wanted to concentrate on Poland rather than ride Champ, which is fair enough. Me too! Was hoping he was going to make the gate and he did in second attempt as in the first attempt of the race he completely missed it. Half a lap away from a race win at Poole. That was probably the best challenge meeting I have seen in a long time! Scoreline back and forth, good racing (thanks to the rain - more grip than usual!) and riders completely going for it every race. Just watching the racing you would not have thought it was a challenge meeting!

What would Doyle's average be if you converted it though. The three heatleaders are similar to the Oxford strength. Rowe and Bowtell are second strings for their normal teams anyway. So top 5 is decent imo. The reserves are the same ones they used at Oxford. Track could be best of the season at Poole with natural watering, we will see!

If neutral, should be in-between Poole and Leicester so equal distance for fans to attend, so that would mean Oxford.

Seems to be a lot of localised showers around the area but only due til 4 according to forecast So if get passed that should be okay. Ideal situation for track covers as forecast dry from 5pm onwards.

Okay, so Scott might be flying over on Thursday for TV work.

Forecast not too bad on met office. Maybe a heavy-ish shower at 4pm. But other than that looks okay. Is there a GP this weekend?

Yeah, Redcar announced it yesterday on their Instagram. Although not sure Poole SM has said about the change yet. Definitely haven't on their twitter. Prob too busy promoting the Swindon meeting atm.

Ah okay. So if they are ill they are suspended from everything in UK? I wasn't sure if it was just within that league! But thinking about it would be a bit silly!

Well we will soon find out as we are at Plymouth on Friday.

Also he might still be ill.

Drew is doing well in Poland.

Is being ill still a 7 day suspension? Edit - feel bad for the track man today. 50% chance of light showers between 11 and 4 according to the met office. Do you water, don't you water? Now it has thunder at 3pm. But they said that about yesterday and there was nothing!

You said he should bring it up pre season but even if he did, he's not at the AGM so I fail to see what difference it makes!

I didn't think TM's went to the AGM. So if he wanted a rule changed he would have to bring it up with Dan or Matt Ford first?

Redcar Vs Poole is now on Sat 20th due to streaming schedules!

Summers and Wells have retired, so would have to be Ruml!

What about Tom Brennan? Wasn't he originally from the Swindon area? Or if Brady or Jack Holder are in the area put them in the Poole team and move Steve Worrall over as he did ride for Swindon. Did KK ever ride for Swindon? He might be an option. Ellis is definitely riding in Denmark, Hans put the team line up on his Instagram and is in the same team as Adam. Or Batch if you can get him a bike to borrow and a mechanic. That is all my ideas. Though they prob sorted a replacement by now anyways!

Ellis and Vissing ride in Denmark on Weds I think so depends whether they are doing that. Really don't want Charles Wright to have any practice with BSN SF coming up! Musielak would be a good one as no other time would we see him at Poole, so could put more fans through the gate.

Howarth? Just for Lewy lol. Though Kyle might be fed up of riding at Poole atm!

Good point! Or the 'whatever trophy.' Give @Bellers101 a nudge though, they seem to have fallen asleep

I would say Swindon should be built to a 45 limit to take away home advantage. But 2 and 4 are current Poole rider and 2021 Poole rider so I wouldn't say they are weak.
