So just signed back in to the forum and can't believe the amount of utter tosh thats appeared in the past few hours. Jeez.

Zach Cook makes sense. he's best buddies with Jack Holder!

First Poole rider announcements in early December!! Source: Bournemouth Echo 'Middlo's 25 trophies' story today.

Agree.

Nicki Pedersen?

The latest (and last so far except for any Eastbourne adjustments) is issue 23 dated 29th October and effective 1/11/21. Although this doesn't have any actual averages for the Rising Star riders - merely listing where in their teams 1-7 they fit!! Obviously for 2022 any British riders will also have the 2.5% reduction for team building.

Gorzow have signed 7 u24 riders including Anders.

I stand corrected but haven't seen it confirmed anywhere officially.

OK then his average must be between 5.00 and 5.31 less 2.5% as all his qualifying scores were completed by 23rd September. which means his average is still over 5.00.

I'm sure its the Prem that is not so sure about him!!

I don't see how that can be accurate with only 3 further qualifying KO Cup scores after the 23rd September cut-off for October averages (BSPL Issue 23)? Play-off scores don't count towards the CMA unless thats changed. Of course if 4,88 is the true average that bodes well for Danyon staying at Poole.

His average was higher than Basso's 5 and less than Cook's 5.31. I believe it was around 5.16 so for 2022 would be around 5.03 (5.16 less 2.5%)

Good to see BWD's return making the national sports pages today!

Good to see Oxford's return has made a couple of the national 'red tops' sports pages!

Why would club promoters (ie the BSPL) vote for something that 'obviously isn't really working'? If as is often claimed, they only have 'self-interest' at heart then surely it follows that they must - in the main - be relatively happy with finances, attendances and the status quo?!

Thats for 6 riders!

Not sure that all your rider averages will be correct as BSPL are yet to produce the final 2021 listing, with all Eastbourne fixture scores being deducted or increased?

What? No Danyon Hume?

Kevin Boothby is now the stadium 'owner' with a ten-year lease to re-open the stadium and make it a fully operational, 24/7 Leisure and Sports facility. He is a greyhound track owner at Henlow(?) and one other. Also had involvement at Towcester racecourse - but not sure what the situation there is now?

If they are sensible they will study their end-of-season finances with a fine tooth comb before deciding to go Premiership in 2023!!

Its his busiest time of the year coming up in December, isn't it??

Honest question - is it confirmed that Fricke is returning to UK/Belle Vue racing?

Had a superb evening with fellow Poole sponsors, friends, volunteers, Promoters, Team Manager and 2 riders at the local curry house last night! No news to be announced yet - other than confirmation that on paper the preferred 1-7 for 2022 had now changed twice!!!

The 'traditional' AGM has always been 2-3 days. This year its only to be a 'one-day' rubber-stamping exercise of what has been already agreed over the Zoom meetings and to give Brummies more time. Most company AGM's have a very strict agenda and are usually over and done with in a couple of hours at most!

Its the greyhound guy that has bought the stadium including the speedway!!
