Poole will clean up even with Bowes in the team. Cooper and Will are only getting better and with Lawson and Cook you also have one of the strongest top 2 in the league. Kerr is also having an excellent season and Newman is very solid. This Poole side can carry a weak link.

If the Redcar reserves turn up and ride like Glasgow’s did this will be difficult for Oxford. Oxford are so weak without Riss and will need a performance from Rowe if they are to win.

You can do that but how many spectators won’t bother with the speedway and just watch the football at home or in the pub?

World Cup fixtures were already known before the speedway fixtures were released, it’s bloody crazy to run this meeting. Big reason why the most successful club in the championship aren’t running tonight and are having a week off.

Ridiculous decision to run a meeting tonight, think you are spot on with the small gathering analogy. Meeting should never have been allocated to run this day.

The referee should be banned for that decision.

Was excellent, also really enjoying the Sportbike class.

Unipart is still in use.

Eddie Kennett in for Riss for 28 days.

I expect the pairs being held at Poole will get a much bigger crowd then if it was being held at the NSS so it’s a sensible business decision.

Unipart, agreement has been reached to allow parking again.

It was in the CLRC in which he was a late call up for, think he had 6 points from his first 3 rides. He was never the same rider in the playoffs after that. He was in a bit of a purple patch at the time, big score at Glasgow, top scored for the opposition in Richard Lawson’s testimonial and only dropped 1 point in two legs against Redcar in the KO cup. Got injured for Team GB against the USA at the start of the 2025 season and then it all went wrong at Kings Lynn and Glasgow as he looked shot of confidence.

Impressive, the lad has talent.

Excellent statement from the club tonight, all good news around the future of the team, car parking and Erik Riss.

Very rare a motorcycle racer will be out for 3 months with a broken collarbone. Moto GP racers have ridden the same weekend they have done the break. Would be surprised if he’s out for more than 6 weeks if it’s a straight break with no complications
