All thoughts are with Bjarne now. Back in Denmark with the family. RIP Mrs P. I wonder if Charles Wright will be allowed tonight??

The Aces should romp this one!!

You go sick or plan your holidays in June - I did. Simples!! f its going to be that sort of scoreline, surely there would be a T/R?

What on earth are you going on about?? 4 weeks to go to what? The end of August!! The cut-off date for the completion of league meetings is September 16th. Assuming no more rain-offs Poole have all their home meetings scheduled up to September 7th - with spare dates if necessary. Any outstanding away fixtures are down to the staging clubs to sort out!!

Season tickets already represent a discount!!

Should make it interesting for Mum and Dad Kurtz if they are still over here!!

Its being announced on Wednesday!!

....and as we know JK doesn't like the track or the track curator so it should be an interesting one!! I think it'll be close with Wolves earning at least a point!

Well done to both teams for agreeing so quickly to rearrange on Thursday! I assume both teams will still be at full strength?!

who is statman?

There was some talk about trying to rearrange on Thursday subject to rider availability. No announcement yet though.

I didn't say I didn't rate him. Read my post, I said he would not get my respect as Brit U21 champ until he cleaned up his act!! My opinion of some of Darcy's (and other riders') off track stuff created a similar stance, but Darcy cleaned up his act big time before his tragic accident and since.

Not sure why Bates is even being discussed on a Poole thread?! When the odious, potty-mouthed, selfie toerag grows up a bit then he may earn some respect for being British U.21 champ. For a professional attitude in his racing and off-track approach, Ellis is way out in front - but its only my opinion. ;-)

Heavy rain forecast in Poole too. Maybe they'll switch to Poole's meeting with Wolves on Wednesday which should be a cracker plus Darcy being there too!!

Poole and Leicester agreed to do this meeting on June 20th!! Wolves (being the senior Monday track) had no objections, and then it was realised England were on the TV. Anyone other than bottom club Leicester and MF would probably have taken the risk of a reasonable crowd but instead erred on the side of caution. Some of the regular Wednesday race dates may well have seen no Hans or Bjarne?! Tomorrow's weather forecast looks diabolical as well.

Do Cricket and Tennis have quicker balls than 30 years ago??

So who will replace Brady Kurtz?? 9.22 average from Monday so a number of possibilities?!

I did - but never as a journalist which is what you claimed! Plenty of other senior jobs in a newspaper!! Several hundred paper rounds in the early days - and not just at the Echo!!

Not sure where you get ex-journalist from?? Never was, never have been. I bow to yours and Wikipedia's obviously superior knowledge. The article I referred to was from last September re Lemo's proposed 'Farewell' meeting (rather than testimonial - my bad) which he decided to postpone due to darcy's injury

I must be looking in the wrong place or on the wrong website as I can't find him. any chance of a link?!! How ever I do have an article relating to his testimonial plans which clearly states he' was contracted to Poole for the entirety of his racing career'! Not to worry, eh?!

Just to be clear GI have yet to submit any plans for improving/redeveloping Poole Stadium. These are due to be submitted in September to include an upgraded stadium for only Speedway and Greyhounds but NOT football. The previous plans to re-locate the stadium within the same footprint of the Council-owned site, were submitted by Sandbanks=based property developer, former AFC chairman and (as of today) NOT major shareholder of Poole Town FC - Eddie Mitchell. His plans included bringing back Poole FC alongside the Pirates and the dogs, but crucially also including 500 dwellings (surprise, surprise exactly the number of homes referred to in the Poole Council plan!!) This scheme is NOT happening!! Matt Ford has been involved in discussions with Clarke Osborne and the council to ensure that whatever the improvement plans include - they should not disrupt speedway from taking place. However I think most Pirate fans would like to see a new grandstand plus an upgrade of the 'terracing' on both bends 1-2 and 3-4. We continue to live in hope and with a little trepidation.

Strange that Speedway Star were still referring to Lemo as a Poole asset in an article a few weeks ago?!

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!! ;-)
