I agree about the logic - but which clubs have planning permission issues?

I'm not the author of the whisper! It was shared to me just after the Kyle Newman postponement was announced, so not sure if its accurate nor what the ramifications might be?!!! NB. Richard Lawson's Testimonial is scheduled for Sunday 1st September!!

Theres a whisper that all future testimonials will have to be held on Sundays!!!

'Postponed'! New date to be announced!

Much of the TV critique of the first episode in National media was negative about the contestants - although a couple mentioned Mr Bowen as a 'strong outsider'!?

More details about Poole's new Dane - Tobias Thomsen - and his more recent racing in this week's double page spread in the Speedway Star.

Olly Holt has been very supportive throughout with little snippets of support for SOS appearing quite regularly! Today's almost full page in the D.Mail is a great read!

With all the track changes/improvements being made at Plymouth, they will improve the away team's chances as much as the home team - especially in the early weeks of the season.

Agreed! (liked)!

I tried that but still not working for me.

2xpiemen amongst the contestants.......!!

The battle of the 2 Pie men!!

With Rowe and Newman in the 1-5, Zach would have been 3rd heat leader. Yes he could have still ridden at 4 but he would have been as heat leader not 2nd string.

Despite the general negativity on here, thank goodness for the loads of positive comments on particularly Facebook! Haven't checked the other social platforms. It looks a decent solid team and on a 'Track by Terry' they should do well.

Excellent exciting racers. Well done Brum.

Maybe that's why Poole wanted him to start in his 2nd string position from 2023.

Wessex Marine continue as Main Team Sponsors of the Pirates for a 2nd season

At the conclusion of the final round, Poole's Ben Cook was awarded the 'Most Improved Rider of the Year' trophy, based on his results from both his Overseas and his domestic meetings.

Middlo and Havvy continuing as joint team Managers. Havvy will have one more meeting under his responsibility (Worky), whilst Middlo will have one less (Brum)!

Notwithstanding the lower points limit, clubs still have the same stadium and meeting costs, most of which have increased in price, so its understandable that admission prices will increase! Fans will make their own decisions about 'what represents a quality product'! If its felt that the increase is too much then that will be reflected in attendance levels - a factor that I'm sure most Promoters take into account when preparing their revenue/expenditure budgets for each season.

Well done to Ben Cook who was voted 'The most improved rider of the year' award at the Aussie Championship Series!! Awarded by a panel of expert judges - both domestic and overseas

Ah yes the 64 point fixture with Matt Ford as Team Manager!!

The Star is now delivered in a white paper envelope. Mine is delivered by Royal Mail to my block of apartments, and almost always arrives on Thursdays except in BH weeks when it arrives on a Friday. Can't complain at all.

Very impressed with Pearson's performance.

Such a shame that some don't seem to know the difference or choose to attack the poster rather than the post!
