Hans may be back at his parent club with his main sponsor?

I think the reduction in Championship meetings has made him rethink his Premiership commitment.

He has to get the relevant visa first!!!

One less home league meeting due to one less club. Same ko Cup and mini league fixtures. Plus a couple of challenges maybe? It's still possible to have a fortnightly habit especially those Wednesday tracks who will be away on some Wednesdays.

Maybe they thought attendances would drop as people might not be able to afford more meetings, especially with extra financial pressures from April 2023?

Nothing so far announced but may be a SCB decision rather than BSPL?

...but he can't reach his pocket cos of his damaged arm!

What the heck has Sandbanks beach got to do with anything?

Not sure why you are taking that attitude, Poole were one of the movers towards 2 home/2 away!!!

so a 6.97 and a 4.00 rider then?

Howarth on 8,66 is rumoured.

Clearly the 'rubber stamp' ran out of ink so couldn't be ratified.

I think that with the economic pressures on everyone, a minimum home meeting schedule of 12 (in Poole's case) is more than acceptable. Of course if progress is made to the play-offs (top 6 again; out of 9 this time) as well as the KO Cup and Trophy meetings then it looks good. Start at Easter with some sort of Bank Holiday Trophy meeting or similar then 4 months (allowing for any rain-offs)to get the competitive meetings in before the cut-off. Perfectly sensible planning imo.

The promoters know! Give Gazza a bell!

At least 12 guaranteed home meetings for Poole before any play offs etc. Start at Easter through August and then the serious stuff!

What was the meeting on Monday?

So it's back to one home one away plus aggregate bonus point! Play offs still top six but split into 2 play off mini leagues of 3 each selected by the top 2.

You could have both Cook Brothers at reserve. Both good mates with Jack Holder makes for good team spirit.

I thought the emojis would show I was joking?!

No point really. Lewy would have a guest!!

Only if its on a Wednesday neutral track!!

We all thought you had applied?! CV not up to it??

Maybe the 4 Prem clubs with decent race tracks are objecting to yet another that has problems with prep? Maybe its 'Lets all gang up on the Bates'?

or if the Prem was on Wednesdays?!

I hope Danny Ford's not has his arm twisted?!!! In the best interest of the sport of course!!
