I think its more a case of people having weekend jobs in clubs, bars, restaurants etc.

Just a bit liberal with those Poole assets Falcon!!??

Just asking!! He is a 2021 Premiership Final Winner after all!!

....and you never know could be a replacement (6.93) for Rooboy???

Just a thought with this signing - and bearing in mind Bomber's grasstrack/longtrack meetings - , but any likelihood that Berwick will go Premiership in 2022??

As long as the visa situation can be sorted then I reckon there will be at least 3 new Aussie lads to UK racing!!!! NB. with most fans raving about young Mr Hellstrom-Bangs, I see his interview in the Star this week reckons he'll be doing Poland/Sweden/Denmark in 2022, with the aim to do UK in 2-3 years time!!

Depending on the weather forecast next week I suppose Wednesday 27th could always become a double-header? But all things being equal I would think any combination of Fri/Sat/Sun would be chosen for the play-off final legs subject to the availability of Stadium staff at Poole?!

This has been stated many times over - yet nobody has ever tested it!! I wonder why?..........

So how will the Monarchs do riding their 3rd big meeting in as many days? Subject to anything untoward happening in the 2 Glasgow play-off ties, Both teams as expected although Poole have Glasgow's Connor Bailey guesting for Stefan Neilsen at reserve! (presumably saving Zach Cook potentially for the play-offs?!). Thoughts

One big issue was that all riders wanted to get paid at Polish Extraliga rates which simply could not be afforded in every country. Aside from that you also had the problem of Riders in more than one team! Who gets priority etc?

Give 'em a chance - they don't take over the contract til November 1st!!!

So could there be a new signing announcement coming soon - possibly a 'new-to-UK' racing rider? (Apart from last weekend of course!)

No its not Friday. As I said any day/time is subject to having the necessary staffing in any case.

All subject to stadium staffing availability of course!!!! As a matter of interest many fans are also AFC Bournemouth supporters and they are live on Sky at 8pm on Saturday 30th!

This wasn't a moan. I wasn't unhappy or complaining. It was a great effort by Team GB with some memorable photographs.

Ah that explains it!!

You could be right but Saturdays have a lot of competing activities/entertainment so could well affect the attendance?

A speedy recovery for Tai hopefully, but for me it was brilliant to have the group Team GB photographs without tattoos!! (Just a personal view )

Is Hawkins still gonna be there?

Did Leicester's local/regional media (Mercury etc) give it much/any coverage?

So maybe 29th-31st October for the play=off final??!!

More worrying news in this week's Speedway Star about the current state of Swedish Speedway with average attendance in the Elite league down to 1068 (including the play-offs) and even worse in the Allsvenskan league. Report states that the 'expensive top riders' cannot be afforded anymore and big changes will have to be made over the winter!!

Spot on. Exactly what Abi Stevens said.

Aside from the superb racing - congrats to Peterborough and Bjarne in particular - what about the terrific numbers in attendance and atmosphere. This was commented on several times by riders and commentary team alike. I sincerely hope BSPL/Eurosport and any other media partners can use the 2 Final meetings to 'promote' our sport far and wide, as despite all the moaning and negativity on forums like this, there are still superbly entertaining speedway meetings at all levels and on decent tracks happening across the country every week!

So Bomber confirmed as a guest for Hans - no surprise really! Interesting to read that Harris, King and Schlein are among those due in Manchester for the 'Meet the British Champions' and Team GB /Team Australia Q&A sessions before the SoN meeting on Saturday!!
