Well Poole would probably get Scott Nicholls for the home meeting?!

Surely many of the 'new' houses were there when the Robins were still racing?! And what are the on site cranes doing today??

Despite the potential for a huge wage bill I would think Danny Ford will be grateful for some income for the first time in 3 weeks after the Riders Championship and Middlo's testimonial on successive Wednesdays?

Danny was sat with Garry May last Wednesday looking for possible guest options. Some were unavailable some wanted more than Plymouth were prepared to pay. Some had simply made other arrangements as their season had finished.

Doesn't Ben Trigger have a knee ligament injury?

That's correct although someone suggested Basso had a puncture in heat 15?

Actually the latest one for Poole tomorrow suggests only a couple of showers. But a lot will depend on how torrential any overnight rain is. Obviously Poole's location has to be aware of high tides etc but it's looking promising at the moment.;-)

That wasn't meant as a wind up. Danny Ford and Garry May suggested a list of some 12 or so potential guests for the Gladiators most of whom had been tried already or had made other end if season arrangements or simply didnt want to do it!! It was Garry who said it may only be NDL riders that could/would fill the gaps. Any delay in announcing the lineup is probably to keep the attendance buoyant.

Best to check and see which NDL riders aren't racing elsewhere.....!!

As far as the Jubilee league fixtures are concerned, Poole Promoter Danny Ford has stated the plan is to schedule all 3 fixtures within a 7-10 day window!!!

Clearly the postponement announcement didn't reach all supporters then?! Hope the 'queue' doesn't get too drenched!!

He couldn't guest for Poole in the away leg.

You would think that with the Fire brigade turning up when the hay was burning they could turn up again and pump the excess water off?

Sensible decision especially with the possibility that Starke might also have been missing? He'll be sore in the morning.

Confirmed for Sunday 18th September with Eurosport covering from 3pm.

Is it off yet? If the 1st leg is off due to the weather then you can expect the 2nd leg to be postponed too, with thunderstorms forecast today, tomorrow and throughout the week..

The situations at Poole and Swindon are different! GI Own the Swindon site but only lease the Poole site from BCP Council. Btw don't greyhounds always take a Winter break in January??

Hopefully they'll have Scotty Mitchell doing commentary again!!

Somebody said the SCB hearing is on Thursday 8th September!!

To be fair Gav hardly ever knows what he is talking about?!!

So still no confirmation of Tuesdays line ups anywhere?

Garry May seemed to enjoy himself!

Surely every club has to nominate an 'off race nite' in case of rain offs or soft tracks. What is Plymouth's? Poole have Fridays but could in theory run any night if the stadium could get the staff in the Security, hospitality and stewarding areas. Unfortunately when greyhound racing stopped most of the stadium staff were laid off and many found work elsewhere especially at weekends.

Well that limits the Plymouth guest options a bit further!!

OMG (apologies to anyone who has just returned from Sunday morning worship), but I've just turned off my laptop and turned it back on again.......and Yes its still there... the Pirate hater GAVAN has called me a 'decent poster' !! OMG (apologies again) and I thought I had him on 'ignore'!
