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.?

I think Poole have already amply demonstrated that missing Klindt was difficult to replace. Even Kings Lynn using him to guest for NKI tonight think he's capable.

So Nick Morris and Danny Ayres booked as guests for Wolves.

'Enough' is whatever they decide themselves. It wouldn't necessarily mean thats the only competition/league they would operate in? For example, if say 4 teams decided they wanted to operate teams with 'top' riders on a fixed face night (2home/2 away or whatever), then they could also run a 'weaker' team in whatever other league structure is agreed. As long as the 2 seperate competitions are priced attractively and sensibly, then it could provide the best of both worlds for fans - past and present - sponsors/advertisers and some 'top' riders. Try it for a season - if it doesn't work then it doesn't make the current situation any worse. If it works despite all the doom mongers - job done.

If there are enough clubs that wish to run in a top league and are financially secure to do so, why shouldn't they? Especially if their fans and most importantly their sponsors are keen to do so?! I'm not denegrating those fans and clubs that wish to run based on a cheaper financial model and lower standard of riders.

Could be Charles Wright as he rides for both Bates' clubs!!

Yes but MF needs the dosh!!!

I know you meant to put 'steroid spray' mate. 'Steroid spay' could be a whole different procedure Take it easy. See you Wednesday.

Probably Hans.

Somerset and Rye House only came up last season to replace Coventry and Lakeside. Leicester have been in since 2014

What? the score prediction or the guest - or both?

Preceded by another showing of 'True Grit' on BT Sport 3 for those that may not have seen it!

Poole will win this by at least 7 points. I guess Wolves will again use Nick Morris as a guest as they are on Monday?!

Shock, horror - Gavan in post-holiday Poole thread return!

...or 1 or 2 quid in some cases.

So when there was an impasse at the AGM over the Mon/Thurs FRN, with Championship clubs refusing to support what had already been agreed with FIM, what alternative night should have been proposed by MF or any other Premiership promoter for that matter? Poole can run M/W/Th/F with sufficient notice, but the SGBC clubs would not have supported Fridays either (they have enough problems fitting their Friday fixtures in now!!)

Simples - just sign different riders!

Maybe he should have taken one of the 3 other dates that Somerset offered earlier in the season!!!!??

Play-off scores don't count towards GSAs - unless they chnage the rules as they did with the KO Cup?!

Watch and learn!! How many points are Swindon behind Poole?!

BT (as per Sky) want a 'top' league as it looks better in their portfolio of sports for advertising revenue!!

Me too but at my age a short stroke is often enough!!

Richie's had some decent scores as a 2nd string this season - it has to be down to track prep.
