Well it is the Easter School holidays so we'll have to wait and see.

I know its already on the Coventry thread but just to confirm Poole v Coventry Challenge on April 19th. Chris Harris to be in place of Kenneth Bjerre.

16.2.5 also states that the Team Building MA's are inclusive of any 'allowances'!! Not sure if Matt Ford has noticed - I'll be with him on Wednesday so I'll ask him! I don't have any issue one way or the other - just to see some consistency.

If it is Fricke that is announced lets hope that 1-7 is approved by the BSPA, according to their Team Building figures..............!!

Brady and KK for Poole in the Pairs on 31st March.

...and you've put Bewley on 4 points - you'll have all the BV faithful complaining!!!!!!

There is still space for a Main Sponsor's name/logo on the new kevlars. Maybe MF will do a draw amongst the existing sponsors on Wednesday (as Swindon have done and as Poole have also done in the past!)?? Yes Wednesday 15th sees the 5th and final REF (Riders Equipment Fund) winter function being a Fans Forum featuring Matt Ford, Neil Vatcher, Christina Turnbull, Brady Kurtz and Jack Holder. Kyle is usually around for these too!! Should be a good night for £4 (members) or £5 (non-members).

Many congratulations to Doyley on his marriage to Emily yesterday!! :-)

...and Sedgmen.

The way speedway is going in Sweden they'll be lucky to have enough teams to make any TV worthwhile - even Eurosport!!

HC did in post #204, which is what Starman picked up on!!

...but it doesn't actually state that anywhere does it? If I've missed it somewhere please provide the link or the rule otherwise its simply supposition!? Does it affect any other rider.....?

At least you have the choice of other local venues with balls!!

Yes I thought that too Woz. Its just a bit strange and confusing that any 2.5% reduction is not applied to the 'Team building' figures ie 4.00 in Bewley's case, that everyone is supposed to be using!?

Rosco 100% refutes that rumour in this week's Star!!

Good article in the Speedy Star confirming the interest in re-opening Oxford and utilising the stadium for Speedway, Greyhounds, Go-Karts plus several indoor activities/clubs inc. boxing, dancing etc etc.

The 2017 rules and regs 16.2.3 state that riders having ridden in the NDL will receive a 2.5% reduction in their MA only AFTER they have achieved their first proper Premiership average. For team building purposes the official BSPA list should be used which has Bewley on 4.00

What average is Smith on? The other 6 add up to 48.04 according to the BSPA Team Building figures?!

I'm sure Sedgy said that in order to have his visa paperwork sorted out by the deadline (Jan 31st I think but maybe Feb 28th?!) he had to have his club sorted out by then as the visa paperwork needed to name the club - otherwise he'd have to return to Oz and miss a whole season.!!

...as long as there is someone to buy??!!

Correct. Doyley had a bit of a strop (when he was nursing his injured shoulder) and said he would never race for Poole again so MF and TR agreed a swap deal - Doyle for Janowski!

It'll be good to see Suzy Perry again!!!! ;-)

Fixture update Wolves v Pirates moved from June 5th to Bank Holiday Monday 29th May!! Should make for a bumper crowd.

Great!!

Nope. All confirmed now. Its 18 meetings including play-offs on BT Sport!!
