BT Sport should be 'champing at the bit' to snap up speedway coverage - after spending £1.2 billion (yes billion) for the Champions League footie rights through to 2021 - including streaming them on You-tube!!

Unfortunate wording in the official press release AORLOV, particularly in the current situation - 'Press day delayed due to lack of stadium availability!!' ??

That's why its taking a little longer - to ensure ALL the loopholes are explorable!! :-) ;-)

Yes. :-)

Middlo hasn't finished the Poole rule book for 2017 yet!! There's another couple of weeks to go yet. :-)

There hasn't - other than someone posting that Bill Glass (Swindon Stadium GM) had been spotted looking at the Oxford site! No way of knowing if that's true or not unless you happen to be Bill Glass!! If I've understood the Oxford Mail story correctly, it is a consortium of fans and business men who are in talks with the Council about forming a 'Social Enterprise' to bring back Speedway and Greyhounds. I may be wrong but I believe a 'Social Enterprise' has to be run on a sound business footing (ie with an acceptable and approved Business Plan) but can also be a 'not-for-profit' or 'charitable' trust set-up.

I'm sure having a big screen will attract many more new fans - happy to pay their £17/£18 to watch every heat twice!! Can't see a downside at all really. ;-)

With yesterday's Oxford Mail article that there is a group seeking to set up a 'Social Enterprise' with Oxford Council for Speedway and Greyhounds to return to Oxford Stadium, then I guess its no surprise to learn that Bill Glass might be looking at the Oxford facility, no matter what may happen at Blunsdon in the future!!

I disagree with that if its a regular (Sunday) Polish fixture. If its a rearranged Polish fixture clashing with a midweek British meeting then yes - no facility. I'm still not sure how it will effect the younger Holder (Jack) with his Peterboro/Poole contracts and his Torun deal alongside his brother?! (I did hear a whisper that Panthers management were refusing to sign the required paperwork to release him!!)

So Kenny Bjerre says had had a choice between Coventry or Poole for this coming season. It was 50/50 but he chose Coventry because it was closer to his UK home! Phew!! Hope he gets fixed up somewhere............?!

Yeah a load of old Red Bull!!

Update in today's Oxford Mail which sounds a lot more positive!!! Forming a 'Social Enterprise' with Oxford Council to bring back speedway and greyhounds (and presumably anything else that the facility could cope with)?! Rumours from the Swindon thread that Stadia UK's greyhound stadium manager Bill Glass has been spotted looking at the Oxford facilities??!!

So how does it work with Nigel and Kelvin on Sky Sports and the GPs for BSI on BT Sport?!

The commentators are 'freelance' so will undoubtedly be available to whoever wants them!!? So will it be You-tube, Amazon or Netflix? ;-)

Is he helping to repair the pits wall?? lol ;-)

According to his article in the Star which has been written since Sunday - its not Bjerre!!!

P&P day put back to 29th March due to loss of the Bees meetings.

Rules were published yesterday 1st March on www.scbgb.co.uk

42 points confirmed in the SCB rules and regs - but nothing specific about individual rider averages without a starting team place!!! (All open to BSPA assessment I guess?!) ;-)

One potential advantage with BT Sports is their closer ties with BBC Sport!!!!? You never know....................

Machin returns!!

Whether there will be any Sky meetings will have little to do with Swindon - or any other club!!!!!

Great progress on the track but seems as though Storm Doris did some damage to stands and pits areas.

Got it in one Gav!!

Refunds already announced by the Pirates management to all season voucher holders. Money back to be given either at P&P day or on the first meeting (not D.Ward meeting!) I've looked at various definition sources on Google as well as the definition within this forum's rules & regs, and I believe I've got you 'spot-on'!!
