As the intended sponsor of the Poole v Redcar meeting, as soon as the rearranged date is confirmed, I'll ask Danny Ford to see if the meeting can be streamed - especially for those Redcar fans who have missed out this week. Maybe Redcar could arrange the same next Friday for those Poole fans not able to travel?! (Assuming its not rained off of course)

Same as BT Sports then?!

Witches Vs Tigers

.....and it will depend on the structure of the League(s)?!! -
At least at the end of their last televised meeting, Kelvin, Sam and the female presenter not only mentioned the Championship but also showed the Championship table. Kelvin made the point that many of the Prem riders that they see on Eurosport can also be seen at Championship meetings. So maybe, just maybe we might yet see some Championship racing before the season ends?!

No. Having worked as a senior manager at a large venue with a total capacity of around 10,000, the Licensed Premises Supervisor must be on the premises if the public are admitted in substantial numbers. Its not just a simple case of handing the stadium keys to someone else unless the 'someone else' has also passed the Licensed Premises certification.

Presumably the Stadia UK Caretaker Manager (Dave) is the official Licensed Premises Supervisor - all large venues holding public events with alcohol must have one - so without him/her on site the stadium cannot operate. Its unusual for a large venue to only have one LPS but as Stadia UK laid off all except a couple of staff then I guess its to be expected.

So sad to see this news, R.I.P. Philip Rising

Surely all Championship sides had the same team-building opportunities. With Poole dropping down in order to save money I'm sure they haven't 'outbid' anyone to get their 1-7 (when they do actually have their full 1-7!), bearing in mind initially they were expecting to track Adam Ellis and Josh MacDonald! The closure of Somerset came at exactly the same time for all other clubs to consider those released riders in their respective line-ups.......

If Pirates manage an early lead they need to be ruthless rather than the mid-meeting 'laid-back approach' that seems to have been the case lately. With guests Brennan and Cook, a decent away win is certainly achieveable and would see Pirates go to second place in the Championship with meetings (mainly home) still in hand. I hope its a good crowd for Newcastle today.

Berwick v Poole Saturday 07/08/21 7pm
SteveLyric2 replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Pirates clutching defeat from the jaws of victory again!! Not sure why Hume was not used in heat 12, but hey ho well done to the Bandits for sticking at it. At least a decent away win at Newcastle this afternoon will see Pirates go 2nd in the table - still with meetings in hand. -
Are they still running greyhounds at Blunsdon?
-
At Poole we can't run anything before 3 pm on school days due to the stadium being next to a school and speedway needing to use their car park as 'overflow'. The costs of running training schools or even stand-alone NDL fixtures would need to cover a substantial £four figure cost.

Poole vs Edinburgh 4/8/21
SteveLyric2 replied to LisaColette's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Couldn't agree more Steve. We all said the same as soon as the coin toss was done. IMO Against all the other 'top' teams, given the option Danny should always defer to Heat 15. -
A substantial four figure£ stadium rental for every meeting, no matter what standard/level of racing!!
-
That assumes that all clubs are able to influence their outgoings?!!

Surely not an earlier finish with a double-header on Sunday? -

Big away win. Crump showing some bravado - should know better at his age. -

Very interesting reading the meeting preview on the Monarchs website!! They reckon the Gladiators have Zaine Kennedy in their 1-7?! What the fork?!
