Oh great! Let's p!$$ off the best thing to happen to British Speedway recently - British Speedway Network, by dropping their competition!!!!??

It's just Poole as the Championship winners who are invited. The winners of Poole v Sheffield are against Brum or Leicester in the next round, so unless Zach is signed by Brum again (doubtful!) then shouldn't be an issue. But let's not get ahead of ourselves....its an extra home fixture.

So the 7 Prem clubs invite the 2024 Championship winners into the ko cup 1st round rather than have 3 meetings and a bye! What's not to like.......?

Poole not going back up. Danny Ford quoted in the local press last weekend.

Lawson is a Poole rider. Simply get Cook and Brennan back as the nucleus against Sheffield.

Good to see Bates and Ford working well together. (Are they both still on the Executive Board?)😉

Anything to shore up the Prem Cup!!😂

Should be good if Ben and Tom can be included against Sheffield.

All Poole fixtures are 'juicy'. It'll be good if Poole can use the majority of their 2024 Championship winning team.

Poole helping out the Prem Cup!!!

Drawn against Sheffield in Prem ko cup first round and against Plymouth in Championship ko cup (surprise,surprise)!!

To be fair he has beaten several here and there.

Everything fine in Wayne's World -'We're not worthy, We're not worthy!'🤪😇🤣

Most riders are shocked when they arrive at Plymouth!!🤣🤣 (......awaits Lewy reply....!)😜

And just as important - sponsors!!

They might not want to go Premiership??!!

Have you heard of making your own sandwiches and taking a flask or similar?

More a case of maintaining 7 clubs in the Prem I guess. Surely his brief is to make the Prem look more 'professional' for TV?!

They had to run Premiership because the greyhound stadium leaseholders would only let speedway run on Mondays. Morris/BSPL gave them some sort of incentive to run in Prem rather than not at all as BSPL wouldn't let them run Championship on Mondays.

Don't know why this is on the Poole '25 thread. Poole riders always do the 'celebratory' lap with wheelies, donuts, burnouts, waving to the fans etc etc.😇

Kerr rumoured elsewhere much further south!!

Did you mean Ipswich keep King AND Ellis?!

They don't though!

The Cooks stay with Middlo. The Holders don't.

He didn't do too badly with Janowski did he?
