I don't think I know! Apparently I'm not supposed to think I know! Why don't you check with who you know to see if anything I've said is known or agreed by others. Simples.😇😜 Ps. What do you think you know about Poole 2025, as this is the thread topic?!

Jealousy is such an ugly trait, it can drive you to distraction, when you should really keep your eyes on the road, and your ear to the ground.😜

It's not what you know. It's who you know.😝

Poole staying Championship if Dan Ford's comments to the crowd at yesterday's Lawson Testimonial are anything to go by. I would think Birmingham would prefer Championship but currently they are restricted to Monday racing. And possibly they may not run at all if the dogs move away from Perry Barr. Possibly King's Lynn would prefer Championship after recent seasons experience.

All promoters know what the team building options are and what has been discussed so far. I've heard everything from 36 to 40 points so it'll all come down to the AGM vote. The BSPL/Phil Morris plan for this 2024 season was to create more of a gap between Prem and Champ leagues. Not sure that has actually happened aside from a few 'big name' riders in the Prem - some successful, some clearly not! So will he attempt to make the gap even greater? If so let's hope its by increasing the team limit in the Prem rather than reducing it for Championship teams!! Assuming of course that all clubs can afford the options.

I think they already have them!!!

Which racenight would you prefer? Mondays or Thursdays? Poole are staying Championship in 2025 as announced at Sundays Lawson Contract signing, so who will replace Brummies if the Perry Barr greyhounds move away - as has been stated?! Maybe Oxford will run 2 teams in the Premiership.......................!!🤣

Do you mean Thompson??😁😉

Even assuming the team building points limit stays at 38 points (and that remains in some doubt according to some rumours), Poole will have to lose nearly 9 points off their current team average!! With Lawson already signed on around 9.4 ish (Brit 2.5% reduction), then that leaves a mere 28.5 points left for 6 riders - assuming we stay with 7 rider teams?!!!!

May be maybe not! Either way it doesn't help the team building for start of season.

Pirates simply want a home fixture ASAP as other clubs play catch-up with their rearrangements in League, Cup and BSN.(Poole's last home fixture Weds 21st August - next one Weds 11/09/2024 earliest) Seems like those clubs that get their fixtures done (and won) by the cut-off are the ones that are penalised!! Just saying..........!

(Ps as mentioned elsewhere, Lawson signs his 2025 Pirates contract today.)

Tigers have accepted the 11th September, if its them?! Worky not yet accepted it!! Maybe If it is to be Worky, they will want home first to get a reasonable gate!!!

not forgetting the 250cc youth races...........!

no its plus £2 on usual adult prices. Track and weather looking good!

With the aggregate scores determining the winners from heat 10/11, it was good to see Poole's 3 heat leaders reducing their CMAs/GSAs for October in the latter races.😉😁

Max Perry guests for the injured Alfie Bowtell. R/r at 1? Thoughts....

Ben Trigger guests for Poole at 7. Edwards and Etheridge for Comets

Some changes to the original line-up, not least due to re-arranged Polish meetings. Masters and Rowe now missing. Charles Wright switches to the Poole 1-7 along with Adam Ellis, Bomber, the Cooks, Sam Hagon and Lawson himself. (Ellis subject to clearing his concussion test Thursday) The All-Stars comprise Douglas, Pickering, Batchelor, Nicholls, Craig Cook, Kerr and Dan Thompson. There are also some supporting races Parade at 5pm Gates open 4pm.

Any team news anywhere yet?

Its a surprise................😃

With 4 other teams in action the choice of guest may be limited?!

Well Sam stays at 2 for September so I hope he sorts himself out.

Great result despite the usual Barker attempt to take the opposition out. Hope Tom is ok

The longer they leave it the better the chance of Killeen being fit. Maybe try next Weds 28th? No Championship meetings scheduled for then! It would also be interesting to see if it would affect the rearranged Stars v Aces rearranged Premiership meeting that day?! Who would get priority on a traditional Championship race day!😉
