Brady got 10 points at Somerset in the May KOC fixture when Doyley only got 8+1.

To be honest I was quite impressed with him when he guested for Poole against the Robins in August. Did his job at reserve and looked very competitive.

Chris's situation is mentioned in a good article in the SS this week as well as on the Speedwaygp website. Still lacking some nitty gritty detail but thats fine.

Good to see 2 Somerset riders get the 'losing at home' vibe, with Bomber doing his thing away from home!!

What has Belle Vue got to do with 'Poole 2019'?

Any signs that the 'new' greyhound track is being marked out as well?

Sounds as though JD's injury is his hip! Garry May said afterwards that he will be fit for monday - but then nobody would expect him to say anything else at this stage?!

Large box of tissues for Gavan, anyone?! The article states that there is another commercial project that has seriously interested Matt Ford (Shame its not buying into Ipswich, just to picture Gavan's reaction!!) so now it will come down to whether another businessman (men) matches MF's valuation of the club - together with some security of tenure over the stadium development.

Whatever the shape/size, at least its something positive for Swindon fans for 2019 and beyond. Good to hear.

Good interview with Luke Becker by Speedway Portal on the Poole website during his visit to Wimborne Road last Wednesday with Gordon Pairman. As well as all the help and support from Greg Hancock along the way, he is also staying with Magic Janowski in Poland so is getting the benefit of good advice from great people with Poole connections. Hopefully his visa issues which stopped him from joining Edinburgh this season will be overcome for 2019

Hardly think Kurtz is 'crap' in Poland?! 5 points as a second string yesterday in a winning side when riding with the likes of Emil, Hampel, Piotr Pawlicki, Smektala and Kolodziej is not bad. He beat Woffinden and Emil in heat 1 and was up against the likes of Janowski, Milik, Fricke and Drabik in his other rides!!

None of the Poles were affordable despite positive discussions with Dudek, Pawlicki and at least one other. Thats why the plan B became Brady at 1 with the hope that Holder hit form straight away and takes over the Number 1 spot from the first or second set of averages. All water under the bridge now as we know what happened. Still Bomber at 1 for the second leg at home will make for an interesting scenario.

Crikey a Stoke fan trying to tell a Poole fan about track prep!!! Remind me, how many meetings did Stoke have to call off this season because their track was unraceable?

5 of the current Poole side are Poole assets plus the Holders, so Poole will have first choice on whether to use them. Harris and Worrall being the exceptions. Not sure why all this talk of 2019 already when nobody knows the rules and regs yet - plenty of time come Nivember.

Herbie and Gordon are good mates so there may be some influence there?

So the 'plan' finally reaches fruition (hopefully not too late) with Bomber taking over the number 1 spot from October 1st - the semifinal 2nd leg! and the opportunity to mix-up the riding order. Yes I know the argument that Bomber isn't a number 1 anymore, but thats not the point. He will do as good a job if not better than Brady whilst taking the pressure off Brady's shoulders. If we can just manage to keep it tight on 17th then who knows. As for having weaker reserves with Richie and Freddy - give me paid 19 every week and that'll do me. ps. Good to see some more dirt on the track last night.

Its only Brady that needs to lower his. With Bomber scoring 12 or15 points will do nicely.

Thats what can happen when your mum doesn't dress you properly!!

He's not living at Rosco's anymore is he?!!

Yep I was working 30 years ago but not now. Its like Morecambe and Wise a few years back when asked what they would be if they weren't comedians, Eric replied 'Mike & Bernie Winters.!!

....and did the club break even?

Just because you might be 'potless', doesn't mean you can continually p!$$ in/on ours!!

So with 2019 signings being made already it would seem Master Bates has an inkling of what the 2019 format should/will be?!

Just to be clear the 'Magnificent 7' was nothing to do with this season's team. It was part of the 70th Anniversary celebration where fans could nominate their top 7 Poole riders from the different decades. A commemorative shirt/ poster etc was commissioned and was on sale (might still be) as part of this year's Poole merchandise. I've been meaning to correct this for several months but some forumers keep disappearing on holiday!! Apologies Rebels and Stars fans for this being on your meeting thread! Hope you get a decent meeting this evening. Hopefully Nicolai will get through it unscathed - so no targeting him, Rebels!!

What are physic powers btw.?
