By using his British passport I would think. All those wishing to apologise to Starman can you please form an orderly queue

That one could come back and bite you in the bum!

How is he a Poole asset?

IMO a year ban with 6 months suspended would suffice. He's already lost a substantial sum of money in lost earnings and has lost his GP place for 2 seasons (unless he gets a wildcard for 2016).

A 6 month ban would end 28/2/15 as it would start from the date that he was suspended.

As I read it a club can only protect one asset, so clubs have to choose wether to protect their round 1 or round 2 drafts you can't protect both.

One of the most professional riders ever to grace these shores. I wish him well and hope to see him one more time at Poole for a farewell meeting when he finally hangs up his kevlars.

The Re Run stall had them on sale last night at Poole.

Left England, played for Hamburg and got European player of the year. Another example of a professional sportsman going abroad for more money and also improving?

Of course the promotion could pay them a decent mileage allowance.

At the track and they've had some showers but it's all set to go as nothing else forecast

Met office says light rain until 3pm then ok

Overcast but dry

Overcast. Had text from track saying it's looking good.

I would suggest that the age that the Poles, Danes and Swedes start they are no more or less talented than our guys. The difference is the training set up and stadium availability so therefore track time.

Appreciate that the riders and ref deserve their plaudits for their efforts tonight, but spare a thought for Gerald Richter and his crew. They have all worked so hard during this week. Without their Stirling efforts this meeting would probably not have reached a conclusion. So well done guys, so often the unsung heroes and so often the first to be blamed.

Spoke too soon.

No more rain since this morning. Dark sky though. Fingers crossed.

No. Heavy shower about an hr ago. Stopped now though.

Old git trying to use modern texty thingys. Think I'll stick to my carrier pigeon in future.

Oh how I laughed (rofl)

Just out of interest, what would your plan have been?

So instead of your usual smug put down , why don't you explain to him why, he might be new to the sport?
