I thought Neil Machin and Dave Darcy were Leicester's official co-promoters after the owner's ban?! They are still listed as such! Has something happened to change that?
-
Is that Lemo, the Poole asset?! What's wrong with the Jack Holder signing, which Chris4gillian says is 100% correct?!
-
Maybe one of the conditions is for the Bees to get a strong team for 2017 - as per Horton's statement today!! ;-)

Oh well at least we know what the weather is going to be like on 8th October!! ;-) -
Not so!! Under the new Allardyce regime England are looking at a 'friendly on September 1st - the rearranged date for Poole v Belle Vue. Unlike the planned Poole v Leicester meeting on June 20th which didn't go ahead due to an England clash, the September 1st meeting should be one of the meetings of the season with a good crowd whatever.

It was virtually an EL team that won the 4s!! ;-) Why would the 'top' riders want to get involved in a weekend of 'away' meetings?
-
We're talking mainly about home fixtures - you know that's where clubs take the majority of their income from - not away meetings!! If Poole had no away meetings it was because the home club did not want to risk a lesser crowd and reduced income than would normally be the case for a Poole visit, if there was a clash with the Euros!! As I've said before, something similar is likely to happen every other season (in the even numbered years) when there is either a Football World Cup, Euro Championship, Olympic Games in the same time zone etc etc.

I don't see Kerr as a good example of Stars 'long term planning'. Where is Kerr riding again?

Lakeside V Swindon - 22 July

I thought Lewis Kerr had quit Team Revolution or was it lewis Bridger you were talking about? -
Its about running a business and having a robust business plan. No point in also running NL if it doesn't at least break even!! As for training schools, its a little difficult when you haven't got full access to your own stadium facilities and anyway investing in assets and getting them trained up in competitive action at other clubs is much better planning - both financially and future team-building wise. All power to those clubs that can and do provide training facilities. Also to Neil Vatcher (part of the Poole family ) for all his work with the younger Brits. Long may it continue.

Coventry V Belle Vue 22/07/2016

Bates and Harris were informed before last night's meeting that they weren't in the TEAM GB 1-5. Maybe that affected their performances worse than Nicholls and Worrall. -
Poole Pirates Vs Coventry Bees 20/7/16 Elite B
SteveLyric2 replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I've said before, Horton only signed him to spite MF as Woryna was lined up as Poole's no.8. Kacper's heart has always been at Poole due to the family connections with Poole, but felt he was ready for a full season which Poole weren't able to guarantee this year. He has a skull & crossbones logo on all is kit except his Bees kevlars which Horton wouldn't allow. However he ends this season its not the last you'll see of him in the UK leagues. -

Just as well Team GB got a pass straight to the final then!!!!!! -
Poole Pirates Vs Coventry Bees 20/7/16 Elite B
SteveLyric2 replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I wonder what Bates was like on his first visit to EL tracks?! -
I asked that very same question on Wednesday at Poole. MF said that 16th September was the official cut-off. There has been some debate as to whether the first leg of the Play-off semi-finals could take place as early as Monday 19th - but its doubtful subject to which teams are involved as they wouldn't have enough time to promote it. So subject to SKY I would guess the earliest the play-off semis would start would be Weds 21st and Monday 26th or Monday 26th and Weds 28th followed by the Final legs the week after.

Having said that, Lakeside can always wait til around 2.30 ish before protesting!! -
Isn't it a bit strange that neither the SCB secretary, the SCB referee nor the duty member of the BSPA MC could quote the rule that Poole had supposedly broken. The article explains that Poole knew they had no facility so initially tried to book Jake Allen as cover for Ellis (PL 6 pointer). This was refused as it was claimed the replacement had to be a BRIT if it was replacing an EDR - but the rule states that should only apply if a facility HAD been granted. Hence Wright being booked as a qualifying Brit EDR replacement. Poole were not advised about Wright until 2.41 pm on the day - too late to get Jake Allen down - who should have been able to guest in the first place as there was nothing in the rules that contradicted that - as agreed by 3 officials, none of whom could show the rule that didn't allow it!!
