Shanes' terms were agreed months ago - just waiting for the Poles to withdraw their digit so progress on the other signing could be made.

Expect the official announcements this week as AFC Bournemouth have no game so better coverage in the local media!! Also expect Josh G to be skipper if CH doesn't want it?!

Whats not to like? A top 5 with 4 x 7+ pointers including 2 of last season's Number 1s and a current SGP rider, plus a Pole who took the Polish league by storm in 2017 and who has always wanted to ride for Poole. A 2nd Pole plus last season's number 7 both of whom can and will improve their averages!!

Linus is a Poole asset so why wouldn't he be in discussion with Poole? He was first choice to replace the injured KK early last season but couldn't make the fixtures work for him, hence Poole getting Zengota instead!!

Quite happy with that starting line-up for 2018, now that its out in the open!! Still need Gorzow's OK for Sundstrom but should be fine. The first month/6 weeks will be interesting to see how they all do - with riders already agreed to step in if necessary!!

Poole asset NKI announced for Poole's 70th Anniversary meeting on 23rd March!!

and Iversen too!!!

https://speedwayekstraliga.pl/spolka-ekstraliga/regulaminy/ This is a link to the Polish Extraleague Riders 2018 Professional Speedway Contract, duly translated by Google. Although open to misunderstanding, to me Clause 7.4 makes provision for a rider to race in a 4th league!!!?

Finally!!!!

Poole didn't 'push for Mondays/Wednesdays' - they only suggested it when 2 of the 3 Championship Thursday tracks threatened to pull out and not to run!!! Tail wagging the dog yet again in British speedway.

Lack of stadium availability on Tuesdays for clubs that share facilities.

Poole are at home on Good Friday!!!

Don't you just love fixed race nights??!!

It can vary depending who the opposition is, whether there is TV and what sort of hospitality the sponsor may want. It also depends on what the sponsor may want in return?! I'm sure if you give the office a call, MF would be happy to outline the options.

Very pleased tonight. Deal done with MF. Only 4 meetings left available to sponsor and guess what I've got - last season's champions in August!!

Best thread since sliced bread!!!

If it went to a tribunal then all sides would have to agree to abide with the decision or face the Association/Bureau/ACU penalty!!

Aah you should have bought the loaf!! I could have sent you a box of matches.....!!

I do but holiday already booked and paid for as I always try to grab a week away before the team fixtures begin!! I suppose I could buy a table for friends and family in my absence, but I'm not that flush at the moment having paid for 3 season passes, a sponsored meeting and a few other bits and pieces as usual!!

Club would have its Promoter licence suspended and be fined if an agreed tribunal transfer fee is not paid!

Must be a Poole/Swindon thing!!!

If there's a real problem with Sam's injury, I'm sure Piotr Pawlicki would be here like a shot on his reassessed 7+ point average!!

Speedway riders have to have a lot of bottle to race at full gas at a young age. Morris got his bottle when he was much younger!!

Not only did they object but 2 of the clubs even threatened not to run if they had to lose their Thursday race day!!

I'm not sure that anyone else would want to loan him in future years so a sale now might well be better business - especially as MF has already publicly stated he may well sell a couple of assets to help 'balance his books' from last year!!
