Well having turned down 4 approaches whilst waiting for whether Poole may use him later on, that only leaves another 2 possibilities!

Not true. Team manager can name his top 4 riders of which 2 can be voted for in heat 14. The other 2 would then be in heat 15. Alternatively he could keep the top 2 for heat 15 and nominate another 4 for the heat 14 vote. (At least thats how it was explained today).

Maybe the rumour that Gomolski was on the way was confusing the wrong Kacper?! It was announced at Poole's P&P today that Kacper WORYNA had turned down 4 approaches from Premiership clubs - the most recent from Peterborough a few days ago!! He will only return if its to Wimborne Road!!

...and thats worked so well at the other clubs hasn't it?! Matt Ford today confirmed that last season saw a substantial increase in the number of (paying?!) young fans!!

Confirmed Clegg replaces Nicholls this evening.

I'd be more than happy if Covatti continues to score 7 points - from reserve. As for the Darcy 'story' - anyone would think he's the only rider to ever have a go about Nicki Pedersen - 'awful rider....average human being'!!?!

All the main club sponsors at Poole are featured on the riders' racesuits/jackets and bikes, as well as any individual rider sponsors - just as they were last season.

He's only posting about Poole riders on a Poole thread. Quite right too imo. Bore off yourself!!

Hardly cheaply attired - all riders will have kevlars (same cost as team ones) but with matching race jackets - as they did last season when winning the title. Maybe if the Stars hadn't nicked Poole's club colours, things may have been different?! BTW all clubs agreed to Buster's request as BSPA Chairman to work to their own budgets to at least break even in 2019, to ensure that there would be a Premiership in 2020. Every club has its own (very different) income and expenditure potential.

New co-promoter Danny Ford explained that there was the chance of a new sponsor set to fund team kevlars but the deal fell through at the last moment - BUT hasn't ruled them out for the future as they are still seeking new sponsors..

why are Poole lucky a week on Monday?

Play-offs - Wolves; Swindon; Poole; Belle Vue. Thanks for turning up and looking smart in your kevlars: - Kings Lynn, Peterborough, Ipswich

Maybe Gomolski remembers being left in the $~it by Buster last season (or was it the season before?)

Hands up all those that have ever purchased something from having seen a bus advert?! As part of a wider and more expansive advertising campaign - maybe but..........?

Poole are sticking with race jackets for the time being - just as they did when winning the title last year. The Promotion have fully explained their reasons behind this decision at last week's fans forum.

Nico is riding for the rebels. Poole will use either Rowe or Atkins.

Poole April 4th from 1.30 for media, sponsors, season ticket holders and invited guests. 3pm riders on track and open (free) for general public

The website suggests that the contractors are appointed and overseen by the Russells - with the dog track alterations being done by a different contractor, presumably appointed by Stadia UK.

Race bibs would be a common design carrying the main sponsor(s) name(s), whether riders had matching kevlars or not! Don't get me wrong I personally prefer team kevlars but once the riders have all their individual sponsors added with different colours and logos, they all look different anyway - not something that happens with race jackets/bibs! So are the Witches club colours no longer Blue/black/white now?

So just to be clear on what you are saying - sponsors will be attracted if the team is all decked out in matching stuff?! Would they still be attracted if the team languishes at the bottom of the league?! No disrespect to Ippo - just asking.......!

Yep, certainly taught Poole a few lessons last season!! Hahahaha

Zagar back for the Peter Craven meeting then!!?

How much extra funding does Basketball get from Sport England or the Lottery or whoever? I love it on TV (I used to play to a reasonable standard) but the major plus is that its indoors with no fears of rain-offs or variable surface conditions. Its one of the reasons that Boxing, Darts and Snooker a la Hearn are so much easier to get right.

Where?

Yes great news on the Swindon website confirming the track work.
