Hopefully Freddie Lindgren can guest on Wednesday - if not then I would think Cook, Morris or Bjerre would come into consideration -, then plenty of time to sort any longer term options out til Poole's next meeting on 29th.

Can't remember the last time Pirates lost consecutive home league meetings so with the weather forecast suggesting a warm dry day and therefore a slick, dusty track, I'm going for a 49-41 Pirates win.

Its been very quiet on the Adam Ellis front!! Any updates?

Re Kerr covering for Newman - it is a MINIMUM 28 day deal!! Kerr first rode on 5th April. I don't think it really matters whether Lewis or Kyle rides on Wednesday 10th as Poole's next meeting is not til 29th!! Having said that I think it would be better for Kyle to return in a home meeting!!

I think KK will ride on Wednesday - there's no real (dis)advantage one way or another as I doubt any potential replacement could be agreed and available in time. Wednesday (10/05) is Poole's last home meeting for almost 4 weeks and KK won't have done his 4H/4A meetings to reduce his average until late June - even if he stays.

There is no way Poole will keep both Kyle and Louis!! BTW, haven't seen it anywhere else so a Poole v Swindon thread seems appropriate - Happy Birthday Darcy!!

Exclusive interview with Davey Watt in Thursday's (4/05) Bournemouth Echo. Interview was given on Monday at Poole where Davey was in the restaurant.

Why not ring or email the office - the contact details are on the website!!

Just to throw other names into the mix (as I'd hate to see this thread end) - how about Miedzinski, Zengota or Smolinski??

Greg Hancock??!

Did my eyes deceive me but did only Middlo and 5 of the Poole team do the track walk last night??!

Just got back in from that Pirates debacle. Well done to the Robins - I've already congratulated Rosco personally - they adapted to the track conditions far far better than Poole and also brought their gating gloves. Poole were dire in the first half of the meeting, when the damage was done, including giving KK the T/r in heat 6 but the Pirates then came back and won the final 8 heats 30 - 18, as the track dried out. Same track for both teams so again -WELL DONE SWINDON ROBINS!!

Its fine and sunny at the moment (approx 5 miles east of the stadium) there have been some showers but the latest weather charts show the big swirl of rain off the south/south west coast has gone further south than first predicted. Still the chance of a slight shower later but all good at the moment.

Its been quite heavy rain overnight but seems to have dried and cleared first thing this morning. Keep a watch on the weather and all forecasts people!!

The problem being that the 'top 2' haven't been scoring like the top 2 have they?!

The Torun score is more to do with the performance of Walasek and the 2 reserves - 4 points between them so far!!!

Its under Poole Tourism!!

I think speedway racing is the dogs bollox - compared to watching the dogs bollox chasing a hare for a couple of laps!!

Isn't it just as easy to post the link to the press release rather than repeat the whole thing using bandwidth etc?!

Bearing in mind the 1.4 factor was introduced to try to have all riders on an equivalent 2016 Premier League average, so the new SCBP and SCBC would be closer together in abilities, then I think every current rider's 'real' average after 4Home/4Away meetings should be what it is for both leagues. eg if Tungate finishes on 4.00 then that should be the average whether he moves to another SCBP team or to the SCBC.

According to the Rye House website they've had a new delivery of shale for Monday!!! Maybe Gerald can 'borrow' some when he makes his way back to Poole in the week?!

Does anyone know if the current Swindon stadium runs at a profit with just greyhounds and anything else non-speedway?! Just asking.

Starkey's not the only rider scoring well in the SGBC but not doing so well in the SGBP!!

Surely if Rebals are going to get a new number 1 then they should act while Tungate's Average is still 9.03. When it drops to 4. something, why would the 1.4 factor be applied if he got a chance in the SGBChampionship??

Should keep the dust down on Sunday then!!! Those greyhounds can cause a helluva breeze as they whiz round!! lol
