Danny King. How about Stefan Nielsen? Don't think Adam Ellis can be fitted in at Brum now they've signed Bomber?

So which heat leaders from any of the Championship clubs would you clasify as 'no good'?!

Yeah but a new board of Directors that could well be much more Rathbone-friendly!!!

As I posted on the other thread assuming Newcastle run then it's 16 home league fixtures plus KO Cup against different opposition. More fixtures more variety Wednesday race nights (except when away at Kent Somerset and Brum). What's not to like?

More variety and more fixtures. 16 home league meetings assuming Newcastle are in plus KO Cup. 41 point limit. Bring it on.

I'm sure the period of grace given to Newcastle is so that a change of ownership can be undertaken (Ged Rathbone??) and for that to be acceptable to bspa.

They can't bring All the.news and reaction until the agm is finished!!

I would think that any proposed 'new' team to a league would want to know the full rules and regs before committing!!

Probably not as I think we're looking to surprise all the Championship sides!! (Joking.) Seriously it'll be one of the questions to Danny Ford at next Wednesday's fans quiz night.

£1600 rental? That's quite reasonable compared to some. I know of at least one that is almost double that. NB how much to sponsor a meeting? Just interested.

Yeah the Supporters Cup with fans nominating the later heats really worked well this season. 'Let's all vote for the oppositions weakest riders'!!? Brought hundreds of extra fans in that did- Not!! I've said before why keep promoting speedway as a 'family sport' ? We've been doing that for years and nothing positive has happened anywhere consistently. Let's promote the danger excitement feuds handbags - a bit of 'Boyce v Gollob' at Hackney. The tv audiences will.lap it up.

All these suggested changes to race formats are just as likely see more traditional punters leave and will do nothing to attract new ones whether on Eurosport, netflix or You-tube!!!

That 2 seasons in the Premiership almost bankrupted the club. You should try reading the Star - there's lots of factual info in there.

As a matter of interest Where would you suggest those NL riders who want to improve progress to?

You clearly haven't read Garry May's comments in the Star!!

Crikey Somerset were only in the top tier for 2 seasons weren't they? And almost bankrupted themselves in so doing!!

When the rumour of going SGBC first started amongst some of the sponsors during the season Nicolai Klindt asked if it was true as he was on a 2 year contract? AT THAT TIME the answer was no we're staying SGBP. MF made various enquiries of other promoters including Len Silver of the likely cost savings and then put it to the fans. Incidentally MF's chateau is due to be featured on Escape to the Chateau next year.

Nothing to correct. Just to clarify Matt tried to sell the club when the Sky deal stopped but no takers. As for the chateau it's not just him it's a partnership of a few investors. And you're right there has been some unexpected additional costs but thats the French for you. Still on track to take first paying guests at Christmas. He puts regular updates on Facebook.

Doyley carried his rotator cuff injury for far too long when he was at Poole as well as being in the shadow of a couple of other superb riders. His form and will to win really only started once he had the op. The other key thing was meeting Emily and settling down!!

Go on you know you want to!!

Fan responses, more meetings and all remaining sponsors and advertisers in favour of sticking with Poole in the Championship. That was enough to convince Matt to take the step. You seem quite anti in many of yourposts why are you not convinced?

Why are you so concerned about what Poole are doing in 2020? You just can't keep away can you?

Yeah but the Fans voted for Championship racing with more Southern derby meetings with Rebels and Eagles.

It's my own post. I couldn't get hold of Matt as he was taking yet another pleading phone call from Terry!

Oops think I touched a nerve there. Such language from Wiltshire! Tut tut
