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.?

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.
