Magic Janowski has done his collarbone whilst motocrossing at a training camp in Italy. He has already had the operation back in Poland and is expecting to resume his pre-season training regime in 2 weeks.

A great bit of promotion from Mick Horton. Something other clubs could learn from - and I never thought I'd ever be saying that!!? ;-)

Maybe tracks should simply use the 'startgate' idea as in horse or greyhound racing?! 4 gates keeping the riders seperate and a mechanical hare to start them off. It wouldn't then be in the referee's hands to stop it. Riders could then try to anticipate the hare to get a jump start as part of their 'skillset', if they thought it possible.

That was based upon similar track shape as Cardiff!!

One of the reasons there is no 'standardised' pricing policy is because every club has a different cost/revenue base as well as having very different connurbations, catchment areas and demographics!! What works for one club may not work for another.

Good to read Kyle Newman's assessment of the team and its 2017 aspirations in the local paper today.

Although prompting some debate on the Poole forum, as someone has mentioned, what I also don't understand is what is the relevance of the article in the local paper? Lets hope it doesn't deter too many more people from supporting - including possible sponsors!! Incidentally it seems Poole's admission charges are staying the same as in 2016. At least they are not increasing to £18 like some....

One would think that a sport that 'goes left' so many times in every meeting, would suit the BBC down to the ground!!! ;-)

I know that (as i was asked if I wanted to sponsor it!!) but MF asked me not to say anything until it was officially announced. 'AJ is King' had asked previously if there was likely to be a meeting that date when he was around Poole on holiday!!

British U21 Final confirmed for Weds 26th April at Poole.

Wasn't it described as very similar to Cardiff??!

So the noise level of any commentary - or music for that matter - would need to be greater than the noise generated by the bikes. That would surely go down well with any track 'neighbours'?! Can't those fans in the stadium actually see what is happening? Commentators can often get it wrong despite them watching exactly the same action as the fans - you only have to watch some of the recordings - dvds etc!!

Theres nothing like penalising fans from seeing top riders then!!? ;-)

First one I've missed for ages but had to give Kyle, Keith, Nick, Starman et al a chance!!

Not sure which 'new' sponsors you refer to? They've all been on the list for a while. Expect to see a 'main' sponsor announced at some point!

I thought the new owners were already released on the Companies House website!!

Last week's Speedway Star carried an article that he couldn't carry on forever (he and Mike Golding only thought they'd be doing 5 years or so when they took over in '99) and was starting to 'wind down'. No timescale given and not picked up by the local media either - which I find a little surprising!!

New main sponsors at least - more than certain other clubs have got at the moment!!! :-)

We're all going to get a new poster - which will probably mean little to the audience it will try to attract!!!!

Is that true? If so when was the new rule introduced?

March 29th Poole v Wolves Elite Shield 2nd leg so despite what the Panthers press release says about Holder v Holder I can't see that happening for a 'friendly' that has only just been announced?!

Happy Birthday to Aces Team Manager Mark Lemon. Hope he enjoys Geneva!!!!!!!

Bridger moved to Manchester due to his personal circumstances.

I'm on a secret mission to increase the Star's readership!! The story doesn't appear to have made it to their online version 'Speedway Extra'. The headline is 'Winding down......'!!

What?! No mention of the MF article on page 2!!!!!!
