So you are pitching the level at somewhere between current NL and mid-SGBC level.? and expecting adults to pay £15?

2003; 2004; 2008; 2011; 2013; 2014; 2015; 2018.

It didn't work for Torun did it?

Some people may recall that MF stated in the Winter 2018/19 off season that if Chris and Jack Holder wanted to ride together at any track other than Poole then that club would have to buy them rather than loan them. Whilst the feeling may be a little different now regarding Jack, I would think its still very much the view about CH.

£100 a point? Are you serious?

According to Tuesday's local Echo article "Middlo secured his 8th title last season and the club have already started their planning for title number 9 in 2020".

Thought it was 8 but its easy to lose track I admit.

Nobody has mentioned the FIM 'Rev Limiters' rule recently that is due to come in next season as far as I know. Or has that been shelved?

If I've understood your post correctly, the 'nail on the head' comment is 'weekly recorded match coverage', ie not live?! Is that right as I only go back to 1987 with Mervyn, Pete, and Alan Hodder.

I do lurve an ironic post!!

He wouldn't be number 1 on his 7.16 average anyway!!

Really not sure what this has to do with the topic?

I believe that is correct.

I believe that is one of the biggest marketing mistakes the sport has made!! Nowadays how many leisure/entertainment/sporting activities do whole families do together - especially families with teenagers - where often the venue facilities don't support anything of the kind?!

Its 'Arnie' Middlo that is quoted in the local Echo today, He does say WE are already putting the 2020 team together , so 'We'll be back'!!.

Middle of the month.

I'm with Virgin Media and get all the Eurosport and BT channels in HD unlike several of the SKY Sports channels.

which is why I said 'if its worth anything these days'!! However as long as Nic's financial demands for 2020 aren't too much then he will be at Poole again. (ps. His was the last deal to be agreed for 2019 - probably because there were no Prem places left up for grabs!!)

But I thought the Polish League hierarchy were beginning to realise that their ultra dominance of European (World?) speedway is doing nothing to assist the sport in those other countries, so they are looking to further develop relationships with the British leagues eg Buster Chapman and the IOW?! - through potential sponsorship on the back of the Eurosport deal. Its no good being the ultra-best if riders aren't coming through from other countries to supplement their team line-ups.

Bjerre will possibly be a swap with Kurtz? Both Poole assets so who knows?

If its worth anything these days - Klindt is on a 2-year contract anyway!! As for the meeting on 9th, KL have already confirmed that MPT and TJ will be missing due to their injuries. and as its a Wednesday if Somerset have a meeting that would mean 2 things - 1. Bomber can't guest. 2. Poole will be without Covatti.

Poole will definitely run next year. With the anticipated extra monies available if the Eurosport deal is confirmed at the AGM. I understand the club is no longer proactively up for sale - although if a buyer with a good offer comes along - like with any other club - then anything is possible. Carpet Cleaning had a business blip mid-season but things have improved since, hence their logo reappearing on the website and matchday programmes. I understand that discussions for main team sponsor are already underway - maybe not with Carpet Cleaning - so Matt will probably take more of a 'hands-off' approach from France whilst son Danny and fellow co-promoter Tilley(with a year's experience under their belts) will continue to take the lead. Middlo has been promised his testimonial by Matt at the start of next season so............!! I am already looking forward to the 2020 Premiership Shield meetings between Poole and whoever!!

Careful what you say about Hans, Steve or you'll be accused of not liking him or having something against him!!! However I do agree that neither Hans or Scott are the way forward.

But do you really find it interesting when its repeated over and over? Very strange.

As I said, I will be there as I am every home meeting, having fun with fellow sponsors and fans. I thought you stuck only to the International section these days?! Shame you didn't keep it up.
