You must realise that it is very difficult - if not impossible - to engage with something so significantly small that it can only produce irrelevant carp!!

How about rider availability - for either side?

In my opinion we will only be tempted back to Premiership if we are not restricted to Mondays and Thursdays!! Plus having sufficient sponsorship to cover costs!

Well maybe thoise that saw last week's Chateau DIY programme, the fact that Chris Louis was with Matt Ford in the Chateau could be a clue!!? Done deal!

My initial thought is that its not the k.o.c.1st leg! secondly the Poole website states its either Leicester or Scunthorpe, so as it stands at the moment I guess Wednesday's matchday programme will have a Poole v Leicester race card but with the opportunity to print off a single sheet insert for Poole v Scunny!

Lets hope Hans will be knackered on Wednesday!! Poor old boy having to ride Monday, Tuesday and now Wednesday!!

Danny Ford has already stated that with all the fixtures still left to complete, Poole may run one (probably Bjarne's Farewell?)in the first week of November!. Any club is allowed to ride one meeting per month outside of the usual March-October season. In years gone by thats how the New Year Classic was run and the odd indoor meeting (Brighton/Telford)!!

Finishing top in the Premiership clearly has more benefit than finishing top in the Championship!!

Maybe Jonny the Spud may like to comment?!

Didn't Garry May say publicly that he would build the team for 2022 totally differently to this season!!

So pleased for Bjarne last night. Top man!

So what's the guest situation for Panthers next week? Kerr on Monday but ?? on Thursday?

So as we approach the 'business end' of the season whilst waiting for other clubs to get their fixtures done, now Poole only have number 1 Steve Worrall involved in the Premiership meetings - aside from Rory's farewell meeting on 18th!! With no meeting since September 29th Poole are now holding a full practice session on Tuesday 12th October, before tackling whoever they've chosen on Wednesday!

To be honest the Poles run on whatever night suits them - no matter what they've agreed to prioritise - as well as insisting riders attend for practice on other non-race days. Sweden have been running Tues and Thurs for a few seasons, with Denmark Wednesdays and the occasional Fridays!!

So no Brady Kurtz for the Aces again! Advantage or disadvantage?

Just a thought - as a result of chit chat in the pub with other fans - but could Poole choose Glasgow in the play-off semis? Is that allowed or must they choose from the 2 quarter final winners?

Reading some of the posts on here from supposed speedway/Swindon 'fans', one could easily believe that most want the Robins NOT to return!! Unbelieveable really.

I don't come onto this section much these days, but is there any news on what the Poles are saying/doing about allowing riders to race in other leagues in 2022? Sorry if this has already been announced....?

Well having announced that they (Oxford) intend to race on Fridays - then they won't be replacing Swindon in the Premiership will they?

Panthers v Wolves will be the televised meeting on Thursday - with occasional reports from NSS.

Poole recently had to re-lay their track with shale from the Edinburgh area which had to be mixed with clay to cut down on the amount of dust! I'm sure Trackerman48 can add some expertise.........?

Nope!! (but Poole are one of the clubs that the Prem are trying to tempt back!)

If Premiership clubs had a free choice of race night how many would vote for continuing on Mons/Thurs? Especially if more teams from the Championship are to be tempted up? Thoughts

So Poole take the bull by the horns and announce their next meeting at home is Wednesday 13 th October being the first leg of the semi final against opponents yet to be decided.

According to a couple of facebook posts, Stefan was due at hospital last Thurs/Friday but (ominously?) there has not been any expected update from then!!
