Does that mean everyone was 'hot' on the heels of Poole all season?

From what I'm hearing you may have another south coast club to visit in 2027 as well.

Havvy said he had a badly gashed right hand but I think the medics were a bit more concerned about his neck!

So no dust or slick track but a wet, heavy track leading to crashes and processional riding. Match abandoned at 33-39. Monarchs unbeaten home record goes up in smoke too.

So both teams at full strength with no guests. Whats the weather forecast locally? Poole Co-Promoter Danny Ford calling for a professional performance from the Pirates, so I guess the initial target will be 34 points by heat 10. Lets hope BSN have sorted their issues from last night........!!

That televised British final of 16 of the best British riders actually had 13 that were in Championship teams!

Do you mean Championship?

Not forgetting a promoter who was famous (notorious??) for preparing the track for his home riders!!

🤣🤣 What price a 10-team Championship in 2027?😉

Matt Ford stepped away from the BSPL Board when he moved to France to renovate the chateau. Danny Ford took his place but notified his intention to resign at the end of the 2025 season and eventually resigned at the delayed AGM in January 2026.(It was taking up too much of his time when he was newly married, planning to start a family, and as the youngest promoter at the time was doubtlessly not being listened to!!!) The BSPL board now is mainly Premiership promoters, Bates, Lemon, Lyon ( + Morris) plus Godfrey and Campbell. Matt Ford did have a spell as Chair of the old BSPA back in the day.

The 2 Kids Crew races seemed very well supported. Kids (and some adults) in amongst the terraces, clamouring for photos with Pirate Lee - all there watching another Pirates win as well. A 50/50 draw worth £230 (I think thats the most this season?) to the winner. Whats not to like!!!!

All this talk about Mr Coleman on the Poole 2027 topic?? WTF?? In the meantime who is up for an away trip to Eastbourne in 2027 in a proper South Coast derby?😉😉😇

So Worky finally complete their season - so early for many! - and say goodbye to their "Mr Motivator" Team Manager, James. Lets hope they can 'soften up' the Bears for next week......😂

So it was 52-38 in the league meeting when Poole had Sam Hagon (3+2) guesting at reserve. and Edinburgh's Mitchell Cluff scored 14 from 7. Lets go for 54-36 tonight.
