I guess the toss of a coin is similar to the spin of a bottle, when choosing?!

So will the track prep be overseen by Mr Russell on behalf of Sky, allowing Gerald Richter to be at Poole?! ;-)

I assume Mick Horton will be looking to sign up a load of Leicester track specialists for 2017 then?! At least that should keep him away from any Poole assets!!!!! ;-)

Will the new co-owners be introduced on Thursday?? Is M. Bowden the same chap who ran Plymouth a while ago??

I don't share your optimism - we go to Leicester on Monday!!!!!!!!! Glad I shall be away for a week!!

Not sure where you are getting your averages from?? Bjarne still is a 2nd string - as he was at Wolves on Monday, when he rode at 4!! Poole have 'chosen' to operate r/r in the number 2 position, rather than the number 4. That could mean the Holder/Kurtz partnership will be maintained at home!

...and hopefully scoring more than he did in sweden last night!!!!

We didn't have Ellis last year!!! :-)

So Poole choose to go r/r at 2, clearly hoping that Chris Holder's renowned team riding skills will gain us loads of points 42-48. ps HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY!!

Actually the rule states each team should have 1 tier 1 EDR and 1 tier 2 EDR. That was the point of my post above because Poole will be tracking 2xTier 1 EDRs in Auty and Wright.

Wrong again rmc, never mind eh?! Incidentally they are EDRs now rather than FTRs!!

It didn't affect Mark Loram either - but thats another story!!!! So Josh Auty rides at 3 tomorrow, being on the EDR list but with an average lower than Adam's!!?? So Poole have 2 Tier 1 EDRs in the team against Wolves, plus r/r for a 2nd string. Is that covered by the rules? I have an occasional speedway fan coming along tomorrow - occasional due to shift work regretably - I'll do my best to explain this one. I wonder what the rule would be if Poole decided they wanted to permanently replace Adam on his current average?

Wasn't expecting too much from Bjarne's first couple of meetings to be honest (Wolves and Leicester - both away) but he'll do better once he's settled back in. Chris needs to get his act together for the supporters as well as for the management. Oh well onwards and upwards - at least those that reckon Poole are unfairly too strong for the rest of the EL should now be able to back off and enjoy the fact that the EL will have new champions this season!! (ps. for those saddo's that may want to check back on the posts - I did tip Belle Vue at the very start of the season).

BSPA meeting today to discuss the clarification and properly-worded addendum to the rules regarding whether Adam Ellis can be replaced by an 8 point guest or a Tier 2 EDR no hoper at 3 for Wednesday?

You are wrong with that last sentence - Woryna should have been Poole's number 8!!!

A lot of people have been asking that - not just this season either!!

Sky haven't been to Poole yet this season. May 23rd Sky are at Poole to see the Champions-Elect!! and I'm not saying who......!!

Newman out for Wednesday - Charles Wright guests!!

The 'latest' list on the BSPA website is only up to 31.03.16. So the latest list in reality - which has been circulated to all clubs - is just not in the public domain yet! It is a BH for goodness sake!! In any case Newman's EDR average must put him higher in the list than Kerr - or any other EDR for that matter!! With other meetings on today Kerr must be the best option

Chris Harris would probably beat them both!! Whats your point? :-)

Well if today doesn't go ahead for any reason, as some have suggested, then Poole will not get a facility for Bjarne on Wednesday - as he won't have ridden yet!! If it does go ahead then on Wednesday, Bjarne's (6.55) r/r rides can be taken by Chris Holder (7.17); Buzz (6.48) and Kurtz (5.24) x2. (Ellis 8.00; Andersen 7.33 and Newman 7.24 - if fit - would not be eligible for r/r rides). That's based on today's averages not sure if they change again for Wednesday after tonight's scores?! NB. Newman admitted to hospital again so will miss tonight - replaced by Kerr (presumably from the updated EDR list not yet available to the fans?!)

Who do they pay rent to? The people responsible for not completing the stadium on time? Doubt they've parted with a penny in rent yet - and rightly so.

Bjarne missing his home debut in the return on Wednesday!! r/r

If Hans had finished on 9 point average, he would have been happy and Coventry would have held onto him. Poole would then have probably signed KK.

Great result for Debbie and Garry's boys, but I expect it was another of those boring one-sided meetings that 'you don't get in the PL', eh Gav??! Well done the Rebels, terrific result!!
