Confirmed. Let’s end all the mug slinging now & those who have tracks to watch speedway at appreciate it. the better the riders in the league the better the standard will be. I can’t believe people were actually moaning.

Whilst I see the point you’re making with the dust I would give them some grace as it’s only the second meeting on the track. It’ll take a while to bed in. They did dump plenty of water on it, could argue not enough but I think you have to give them some leeway with that.

Enjoyed the meeting however if I had one teeny, tiny criticism it would be the lack of info on delays. The red lights was on a couple of times when riders were at the tapes & no info was forthcoming from the com box or presenter (until the the 2mins went back on) Think Oxford will do okay going forward.

Looking forward to this, haven't seen a league match since we (Swindon) put our licence ''on hold', I have been to Poland, the British Final (Adam's win) & GB's SON Gold since so not entirely without a speedway fix'. I'm not interested who wins but am looking forward to the racing which by the looks of it was decent last week.

Isn't Belle Vue's first meeting next Monday? What is going on?

In fairness to Miedzak, he was signed to be the number 1 (no options available) & in his first meeting crashed on the pits bend at the time slicing his fingers away. When he came back at Leicester he was shot to pieces from memory.

Scrap that, looks like he has signed in Denmark

I’m sure the Polish chap works for 11 sports in Poland so will be in the “know”:

I’m told they only lease the stadium & Then sublease it to Poole Speedway.

What the hell has gone on as I’ve just seen this tweeted by someone in the greyhound community BREAKING NEWS POOLE STADIUM CLOSED! Not the news I wanted to bring to you this evening. Hopefully there is a few avenues we can try to go down, but a meeting was held this evening which has resulted in the closure of the stadium. More news to follow...

Just to put some meat on the bone with all of this chat. My understanding is that Sweden, Denmark & GB have blocked their riders signing in Poland “IF” they have jobs in their respective countries. Now can these contract be broken, I guess if there’s no guarantee of a start date in these countries then I guess it’s possible. Riders have until next week to commit to Poland & Poland only. Will have to stay in Poland for 5 months.

Hasn’t Nicholls said he will only race at Kent at the moment due to off the track stuff

Wilson-Dean has pulled out of Somerset’s team it’s just been announced. His shoulder still isn’t right. Been told to rest for 6 months. “Zealand Grand Prix championship. May explained, "Bradders contacted me today and broke the news that he has been advised by his specialist to fully rest the shoulder for up to six months. He told me that although he had been riding locally back at home he wasn't pain free and whilst he dearly wants to continue riding he has to take into account the experts opinion and I fully recognise that for the sake of his own health he has to take heed of the situation. A gruelling season is only going to make the pain worse and would undoubtedly have consequences in his long-term health."

Swindon vs Leszno details later this week - Home match could be 18th March which would be pretty good.

Very true. Even if Boro do sign NKI unfortunately I think you'll struggle. Too many inconsistent riders in that 1-7

What's happened to Bech & Nicholls being the final two? I thought NKI said in the star the other week that Britain wasn't really an option.....

I’m putting 2 & 2 together with Josh working for Monster. It could be someone completely left field but where’s he’s put the “heads gone” emoji it leaves me to believe it’s someone decent.

A monster sponsored rider will be it.

I think all teams should have them. Just baffled why they weren’t used for the past two seasons that’s all.

Perhaps I should have clarified what I mean. For two season Poole haven’t used race suits in the top league with national media (tv) coverage....BT sports etc. Swindon have used race suits for as long as I can remember & last season were able to incorporate the main sponsor as a colour, for what I understand it was a great success for said sponsor. Team suits also make the sport look more professional (although I understand some won’t agree). Swindon also have auctioned off the team suits at the end of the season. What I don’t understand is what Poole have decided after two years to bring team suits back When the national media coverage isn’t as great.

So Poole drop down a level with less media coverage & bring back race suits. The mind boggles.

Planning permission granted by the council. Now over to the developers!

If you wanna give it the big one the how about putting your money where your mouth is....£100 bet that Swindon finish above Pboro. I’ll give you my personal details if you’ve got the balls.

Imagine being that sad.....idiot.
