Can't see Antonio doing more travelling with another addition to his young family this week!! Although I do hear there may well be a 'surprise' signing in the offing!! (I might have to revisit my earlier team suggestions) :-)

According to Damien's comments on the Sheffield website and in the Speedway Star, Sheffield will be going all out for Promotion to the top tier!!

FB I think what you meant to say is Klindt won't be long in the 1-5 with Woryna starting at reserve?! (Apologies if I've read that wrong?!)

Sounds as though the E&S has repeated the story from the Speedway Star quoting Gary Patchett.

Absolutely Blueboy your last line could be true. Of course if it is true about Poole now owning his contract, then MF would have to give permission for any other clubs to negotiate with him - and he would only do that if he had no intention to use him in the Poole side. I would imagine if any announcement is going to be made it can now be done after the end of Swindon's fixtures. To be fair Adam was only released by Poole due to his high average - its usually just a numbers game!! I agree and have argued that very point on another forum but some fans on the other forum seem to be of the opinion that it could/should go to 45 points??!!

Starry, unless Chris gets a reduced ban on appeal then he will not be available to race for any UK team til April 13th earliest and even that assumes he has no visa issues which some have suggested. (I don't know whether he does or doesn't?) Official meetings will be scheduled to take place prior to that as the 70th Anniversary meeting is scheduled for 23 March and Easter falls end March/early April and Matt would not want to miss out on the bumper Good Friday payday!! Just to clarify I only added the averages to what Brandon Bob had posted previously and added Klindt into the mix as MF had previously said he would like to fit Nicolai in again. As for the Ellis rumour (very strong rumour amongst sponsors) JTS previously said he knew nothing about it and at the time Adam was racing abroad, That's a bit different to 'categorically stating there's nothing doing' ?! As I said at the time fathers don't always know what is happening with their sons?! The info amongst sponsors was that Poole had purchased Ellis' contract from Lakeside. I've no reason to doubt that info as the sponsors were discussing the possibility of 2018 sponsorship - in addition to those Poole companies that already sponsor Adam viz a viz his Swindon kevlars in the final on BT last night. Sometimes 2 and 2 actually do add up to 4. Maybe its the 'teenage moods' again.

What I think is even worse than the should he/shouldn't he debate is the timing of the press release!! Simply Woffy and his PR team (Pearson) trying to steal the publicity away from the actual meeting!! Some would say very clever PR - others would say its diabolical excuse just to give NP the opportunity to get Woffy mentioned on TV - again!!!

Well done to the Robins. A deserved win in a teriffic final. You have to feel a little sadness for Wolves for whom injuries/guests simply came at the wrong time. I wonder if this rule might get changed again for 2018?! Anyway a play-off final with the top two teams over the season - everything is rosy in the Premiership - isn't it?!! lol

So Kurtz 8.08 Woryna 4.65 Ellis 5.56 Shanes 2.95 Klindt 5.78 uses 27.02 of the available points, leaving around 15 to 18 points depending on the final points limit (42-45)?! Room for a couple of decent heat leaders!!

Huge queues reported at Monmore. Hope its a great night.

I get BTSport on Virgin Media. Both meetings are on their programme schedule for 19.30hours on Monday and Wednesday on BT Sport 1.

I'm told that an appeal is in the pipeline but not sure how that might go?! Whether he was able to attend the original hearing is irrelevant as it was held very quickly after the offence and he may not have even been in the country at the time?! Not defending his actions by any means but if I was in his corner he may have a case over the length of the 'ban' which seems somewhat arbitrary and punitive (or as some have said downright vindictive!!). I mean why 9 months? Why not a year? Why not 6 months or a fine or any other penalty? Unless there is something written down in an ACU/SCB rule book (not BSPA) that states the penalties for certain offences?!

....and not just the Polish market!!!! :wink:

Why? are you not going to speedway then??

The optimism is always there, having reached the play-off semis this time around we aim to be back for higher things again next year. I'm sure the Aces will be aiming high too having also missed out in the past 2 years.

Cheers for that arnieg I confess I'm close to losing the will to live as far as checking the rules again!!

As a non-Twitter user (or should that be a Twitter non-user?) whats being said and by whom? Although I agree no further official announcements should be made til all the SGBP fixtures are complete!!

You'ld better check with Jonny the Spud if he knows anything about it - yet?!

Lets not forget Poole used an asset rather than a guest in last year's play-offs and we all know how that went!! lol Anyway moving on - I'm now supporting Swindon in the final as I said I would when (not if) they beat Poole, but a serious question - Does the 8 day guest rule not apply to reserves eg Liam Carr?

How much did it cost an adult to get into Ipswich last night??

Isn't there a rule that prevents a promoter/owner from running more than one club in the same division/league?!

So Wolves have selected Bomber as the best guest option (No disrespect to Rebels, Stars or Lions but the guest had to come from Rye!), but I don't understand why they didn't go for KK??!! ;-) ;-) Meanwhile, another injured rider declares him self fit to race for Swindon - Adam Ellis!!

best wishes to Freddie for a speedy recovery. If it is concussion ie a 9 day absence, does that mean he misses Torun GP?? In the meantime, what chance KK guesting for Freddie in the final? lol

As far as Lambert is concerned I'm not sure he would be a good fit at Poole?! Its not just about his scores its the effect in the pits - he's not the best of 'team players', or so it seems!!

That's not a new story though is it? its just repeating what was in last week's Speedway Star. Not riding in the Championship because of offers already on the table in Poland and Sweden and due to sit down with Buster after the AGM (although not sure why he has to wait til then as Buster should know what is being proposed already!?)
