According to today's SS, Brandon Estates are challenging whether all the fixtures and fittings are indeed Sandhu's to remove - maliciously or otherwise?!

Anyone spot Rosco in his Pirates shirt on Facebook and Twitter??!! Ha ha

Its never good to post bullrubbish when you can be found out so easily!!

This is all a power struggle with Sandhu taking his toys away because he doesn't like the terms of the new Horton lease with Brandon Estates effective 1st January (even though his spokesman has inferred differently). Brandon Estates feel they've been kicked in the teeth because of the damage done in removing the fixtures and fittings. If the insurers/police find that anything was done maliciously then I would think the terms of any lease from 1st Jan - be it for Speedway and/or especially stocks - will be worded somewhat more strongly than originally verbally agreed. If I was in Mick Horton's shoes I wouldn't be issuing any statements either - at least not without Brandon Estates agreement and probably not til after Jan 1st.

So the BSPA members ie the promoters are often criticised for not having a plan and for thinking too much about the now rather than 2-3-4 years hence?! As soon as one (MF) openly states he is planning for the future, its suddenly all wrong!! If anything its the fans that are only mainly concerned about the coming season!

Rob Lyon is running Kings Lynn (read their press release back in November) so Buster can 'assume control' of the Leicester promotion!!

Maybe but Ellis isn't an asset and Kyle has been named as a future Pirates captain by MF!! Which is why favouring riders that spend the whole season UK-based is part of the longer term plan!!

Maybe the poster isn't who he says he is??! Of course Buster's heart will always be at KL - he owns the stadium!!!! Well done to him for all his BSPA efforts though!!

If people bother to read the full announcement then they'll know some of the reasons why Brady over Kacper!! With the leagues currently going for a lower level whilst continuing to save costs, MF is continuing his longer term planning to bring through Jack, Brady and Kyle for the future, whilst at the same time hopefully building a team that will compete in 2017.

Same as my Kelly Brook calendar - and I'm not sharing that!! (waits for someone else to put up the pics!!)

Apparantly the final signing (BK) is to be announced tomorrow Wednesday according to someone visiting the Poole Merch shop in the Town Centre today. It was due to be today but local darts champ Scott Mitchell took the back page.

I didn't think I needed to emphasise that bit!!

Who on earth - apart from a relatively small fan base - knows what SGB is?? And even with that small fanbase - why is it even relevant that they should know what it means? Its SPEEDWAY with specialist MOTORCYCLES that needs to be communicated!! I'm no designer but its not rocket science is it?! The BSPA are 'control freaks' who despite quoting transparency and fan involvement, simply don't want to go with something that wasn't 'their initial idea'!! Its like going into a lap dancing club and being told you only have 3 dancers to choose from - apparently!! :-)

His lips will be sealed!!! :-)

Spot on post SS!!

Why don't you delete your earlier post?!

Hopefully it'll be Tuesday as (the unofficial) Piratecast have their Facebook Live programme from 1930hrs tomorrow!! (PS> Nice mention in the SS last week too!!)

I gather Tenerife is nice at this time of year!! :-)

At the moment ie during the whole of December, surely everything is at a bit of an impasse as neither Coventry Racing Club nor Coventry Speedway have any rights over stadium access until January 1st - assuming leases are signed etc. Presumably Brandon Estates will not allow Sandhu's people in to 'restore the fixtures and fittings' until they are satisfied that things weren't done with any malice?! Mick Horton is presumably also in 'no mans land' until Jan 1st and is right not to give any statement which may be taken by some to enflame the situation. I hope its a Happy New Year for Speedway fans.

No question of Holder's quality - his average alone demonstrates that. But your comments about KK and Hans being 'moody', seem to indicate that Holder isn't and doesn't have any 'off' days?! I hope you and he and Poole have a great season.

Aren't they sealed engines so should not need any tuning/servicing?!

I think its fair to say that if the averages hadn't been 'factored' (I think thats the right word?!), Chris would have been included in Poole's 1-7 as usual and not looked anywhere else.

As SS has said Chris Holder remains a firm favourite with the majority of Poole fans and will be welcomed back at some point - even when KL visit in 2017 - but he does have the propensity to disappoint some people with some of his 'ill-judged' comments on occasions. This may not come across to many fans but is perhaps more obvious to those closer to him eg sponsors, officials etc. Lets hope that Buster is able to provide a track that is correctly prepared for him as well as the other 6 riders.

Well done Davey Watt at winning the Queensland championships yesterday. Looks like he has sorted his 'demons' and is on the way back to some decent form. I'll be following his Aussie Championships with interest.

To be honest its mainly only affecting the top Danes. NKI and Kildemand being the 2 most high profile riders.
