With the new 'kerb stones' already in place. At least this should shut up all the 'it'll never happen' protagonists.

P&P details on the club website.

An app could well be funded by advertisers/sponsors in a similar way to the matchday programme. Apart from fans through the turnstyles, some clubs only get additional income from sponsorship and advertising. But I don't believe that a speedway app (or apps) is too far away. Watch this space.

I thought Ged had announced he was on his way last season due to the horrendous travelling each week taking its toll. That was before any change of heart and/or interest from Buster.

No idea. But maybe MF didn't have any idea that Brummies wanted to buy him?! 'Every little helps' or so I was told!!

Not as if Poole could use him this season as he's committed to Brummies and Swindon!! Good bit of business for a few bob into the coffers.

Not got my SS yet (Postie is a bit late today!) but the article on speedwaygp.com confirms NKI is racing in Poland, Sweden and Denmark. Also confirms he still lives in UK!!.

Why did the Panthers press release announcement name Tungate as No.1 then?

Sponsors colour - no problem.

It was reported after the AGM that the priority for Premiership clubs was for all of them to operate within their own sensible budget and to at least have a 'break-even' budget ie not paying out 'silly' money to too many top riders - even assuming there were several that wanted to ride UK?!

I'm sure our new IT-friendly co-promoters will have this in hand. Stream it straight to the website and social media platforms - its not rocket science.. There will always be some fans who are more interested in Poole rather than Weymouth (and vice-versa) as much as there will be some fans who can't/won't stay for either the press conference or the 6 SDL heats. I'm sure its similar at most tracks.

Poole to be the home of Weymouth Wildcats for 6 SDL meetings in 2019. The six 6-heat meetings will take place on 6 Thursdays (yet to be advised) after the respective Pirates SGBP meetings.

Weymouth Wildcats to race at Wimborne Road Poole in 2019. Meetings will take place on Thursdays after the Pirates SGBP meeting on dates still to be advised. On those selected dates, the Pirates will forego any interval, so that the Wildcats can follow on immeadiately the Poole meeting ends, More details to follow......

Not wrong - but not in quite such a big way as in the past. I still have my permanent seat in the sponsors area of the main stand. I don't agree that disabled should get free parking anywhere as long as there is provision for 'disabled-only' parking. At Poole the carpark (and all the refreshment options) are run by and for the benefit of the stadium owners - Stadia UK. Poole Speedway get no income from these sources which is why sponsorship/advertising and paying customers through turnstiles is so important there.

Unfortunately I do have to park there as I'm not able to walk very far these days, hence I get there quite early in order to guarantee a space.

Think yourselves lucky to only have to pay £1 to park on site. At some its been £2.50 for a while - none of which goes to the speedway club!!

Not sure! If he was, He certainly flew back to UK before Middlo as I've spoken with him since!!

Next rider announcement tomorrow Friday morning!!

Dale Allitt stating in the SS this week that they have been 'teasing an exciting end to their team-building plans!!' ? ps. In a separate story 'Ford salutes chairman Chapman'! Poole's Matt Ford applauds Buster's investment in 3 Premiership clubs, insisting 'he knows how to make businesses work'! "I take my hat off to Buster. Buster has invested in a business he believes will work. He's a sharp cookie. He knows how to make businesses work and he has done that at Kings Lynn". ...."Perhaps he senses we are on the verge of something better. He's no fool and I'm happy that he's playing the part he is."

SCB Regs are usually made public for the1st March each year. Promoters, riders, officials will have had advance notice of any major changes.

Ricky to ride solo at Leicester in the Ben Fund meeting!

Brando, Middlo, Lemmo and all the Holders were in attendance plus many many more.

Good racing, good promotion and a winning team will retain/attract more fans!! ps. PoP I hope your financial link up with NK proves a fruitful one.

Not having team kevlars in 2018 didn't stop Poole becoming Champions did it?! Its not as if Poole were the only SGBP team not to have them either!

Apologies if I've missed this, but any truth in the rumour that Buster's home had a fire whilst he was away?! As for the TJ story in the Star this week - it was primarily about the help he received from the club during 2018. It stated he was 'still hopeful' of a team place.
