Let's see if he gets any Championship guest (injury) bookings elsewhere? He'll likely be at Poole for one meeting this season anyway.

I was told today - from a very reliable source- that Sonny Springer's father did not want him to do Championship this year!!

Trips off the tongue nicely....!😃 Who would have thought a former rider would sponsor a senior side??

Matt Marson finished with a 6.20 NDL average with Belle Vue last season, equivalent to the likes of Foord and Vale and more than 0.5 higher than Springer. Danny Ford 'more than happy' with the Poole line up! (BBC Radio Solent 22.01.25)😀

You surely don't expect EVERY post on here to be 100% accurate. Opinions simply aren't like that.🤣🤣

Maybe a 25 year old can travel to 12 meetings under his own steam rather than a 16year old having to rely on family members who may not be geared up for midweek commitments? Just a thought.......

What??????

....but having to travel way up north for away meetings and midweek home meetings! Leicester's ndl/ndt meetings will be at weekends, as will be the case for the majority of ndl/ndt riders under consideration.

...fair and done in the past, not all about self interest....exactly!!😇

That's quite an accusation Lewy with absolutely nothing to justify it!! Everyone on any board of directors has the ability to influence decisions/policy, otherwise why agree to be on it? You might just as well leave it to a dictator....!😝

John Campbell is now on the BSPL Directors Board (replacing Danny Ford) so surely he will have influence to dictate the Monarch's 1-7 riding order?!

Local Echo is reporting that a contract has been offered to prospective no 7 who is working out all the logistics with his father and family.

It's still Matt's club though and he's in daily contact with Danny during the season as well as sorting out all the rider contracts. He was also very involved in the successful 'Save Coventry' appeal hearing as potential promoter/co-promoter of speedway which he stated would return at Championship level. Anyway changing the subject, the Poole R.E.F. are holding a quiz night on Weds 15th Jan at Broadstone Royal British Legion Club. Special guests will be William Cairns and his father who are travelling down from Aylesbury.

Wow. Its all got a bit deep hasn't it?! Judging by Poole's trophy cabinet it looks very much like the ambition is still to win every competition Poole are in - whether it be Matt's or Danny's ambition? Or both?! As well as to make a profit. Trophy-winning teams, very decent sponsorship and continued strong attendances on your chosen preferred racenight are a great business model. So why change it......?

Starting on Wednesday 16th?? Don't think so........!!!

Thank you Mr Morris!!!

Those people saying it would have been a big crowd are assuming normal admission prices. Wrong!!! Imo adult tickets would have to be around £25-£30 to cover costs. And then what effect might that have on normal attendances when money is tight?

Tigers fans breathing easier now that Poole have not taken up the ko cup invitation. Back to the really important issues of how to smuggle their own food and drinks into Owlerton!!🤣

No Poole v Sheffield ko cup fixtures now so Pirate fixtures can start at Easter as planned.

Pirates DECLINE Premiership ko cup invitation!!!

Don't understand your 'front page' reference. Sport is usually on back page and inside! My winking emoji was referring to today's AFCB injury and player recall news which will surely be the main local sports story.

Especially after today's injury news!!

Will has been training with Hancock stateside. There are some Instagram reels......! Ps. I gather there has been a change to the original No.7 target, but all sorted now. I'm sure the announcement will be made to get the maximum local media coverage ie, when AFC Bournemouth are not the main sports story!!😉

Deal done - no panic!

Depends on what night?and which other Poole riders would be riding for the Prem teams?😉
