That looks busier than the pictures on BSN.

Hasn't Jack gone back to Oz already? He didn't ride for Sheffield on Wednesday. Hopefully Chris and/or Brady will travel up with Middlo.

And Ben had a few practice Laps beforehand!!!

I don't particularly see it as a problem but its the principle of not allowing riders who have never ridden the track a chance of a few laps which they wouldn't need or expect if it was at Leicester!!

Whatever is proposed and agreed by clubs at the start of the season is fine.

Naughty! if it was at Leicester, Poole wouldn't expect practice as theyve all ridden there before and you take your chances. All Leicester riders have ridden the KL track before so already hold an advantage over Poole who have 3 riders who have never ridden there.

At least the Cooks and Ablitt have ridden the Leicester track but not KL. Don't see how that's fair at all to allow Leicester practice when they have all ridden the track previously. I guess the official protest to SCB will be going in?!

It'll give Poole a chance to show Leicester what a mistake they are making!!!!!!

I wouldn't think Oxford would want all the hassle as they prepare for their big end of season celebrations at the stadium on Saturday!!? Not withstanding any restriction on capacity numbers able to attend?

Well let's hope it doesn't come to that and Poole are able to celebrate their 'underachievement' again.

Kyle gets married this month and has a young family so can't see him committing to so much travelling.

Of course Poole would prefer it to be at Leicester but it isn't so have to make the best of what's arranged - as do Leicester.

They are not 'official' are they??

Cost?!

Zach Cook intimated similar in the Piratecast interview yesterday.

As long as the clubs have the correct ones and promoters aren't arithmetically challenged eh?

The Poole coaches were not cancelled by the coach company they were cancelled by the club when the date changed again and the Friday date was announced as many fans could not travel on a work day. You are correct in stating the club have taken a financial hit as they have had to pay the coach cancellation fees.

Matt Ford was back on the board until his move abroad. I was thinking more Danny Ford and Chris Louis to formulate the changes. I have no experience of the Bates other than the Lions and Tigers this season!

So the same 5 then?

There will be change!! (And doubtless many more moans on BSF).

Nobody is saying the current situation is not a complete 'balls up' - fact. But imo opinion it does absolutely nothing for the sport to continually talk it down at seemingly every opportunity no matter what thread is being duscussed. Yes we all know the situation the sport finds itself in and we can all point fingers of blame. Yes I'm a Poole fan and have been for many years (also Swindon for a few years when sponsoring a rider!) and prefer to see positives in the sport wherever possible. If that comes across as arrogant to some then apologies. Whatever people think of Poole Speedway it's a well run successful business on and off track which i will continue to 'big up' at every opportunity, with a new young promoter that with others will bring new ideas to the top table with positivity about the way forward for the sport as a whole. It may not please some but managing change never does please everyone - especially those with a glass half empty outlook. Sermon over. Have a nice day. COYP. Hopefully my flight back to UK tomorrow gets me home in time for BSN which I've already paid for.

Why don't you stick to your beloved BV threads instead of casting your negative caustic and derogatory comments everywhere else!!

Presumably Leicester aren't short of a few bob as they are wanting to go Premiership on an off race night next season?!

Nibble nibble

Chris Holder still has his home in Dorset so it would be no surprise to see him race here again. He's stated as such. He's in the Poole pits with Jack and Brady on a regular basis. He's bound to get his average reduced as He's not in GPs and hasn't raced here for several years.
