I know Garry well enough to correctly spell his name!

Thats ok then. I was just suggesting a couple of 7+ point riders that Garry might go for.....

Don't worry you'll have the likes of Sedgy and Batch looking for a place!

The council and the football club have both recently said that returning to Poole Stadium is NOT an option and are seeking a new football stadium elsewhere ( which of course may be a smokescreen). The new council will shortly be publishing its new Local Plan for public consultation in January 2024. The 'old' council's previous plan had the stadium site mapped out as one of several areas 'for development' without specifying for what? Although most people would assume housing?! So I guess its a 'wait and see'!

Because Poole had invested a lot of time and money and paperwork in bringing him over on the basis of a 2-year arrangement, which Basso decided wasn't practical after the first season due primarily Wednesday fixture clashes (despite Poole agreeing to minimise clashes by changing racedays in certain weeks) - plus Basso was tapped up during the play-offs!!

Wherever pays the better money! Simples.

His gating is not that bad - its just staying on around the first turn!!

The recent planning application to close it and turn it into a 'senior persons community village' was unanimously rejected due to many local objections. Not sure of any other issues, although equally not sure how regularly the Banger racing takes place or if there is a limit on the number of racedays?

Maybe Osborne should look at taking over the Ringwood (Matchams) Raceway and turning that into a full Motorsports venue, especially as the current Matchams Raceway Owner and Promoter, Craig Robinson, is part of the Swindon Motorsports consortium!?

I am aware.

Michael West and/or Tate Zischke would surely have weekend fixture issues with Poland, assuming they've now done their 'apprenticeship' over there?

That would assume the Council would offer the lease again, and if they do offer it, what the operating/development criteria might be?

What? No place for Wolves rider of the season, Z.Cook?

Excellent colour scheme!!

Several jungle drums are suggesting Tom Brennan!! If true, that would keep Zach Cook at 2nd string (assuming he and Lawson are still in!?) but wouldn't leave that many points for the final 3!

Well theres a surprise!!

Danny Ford on local radio today saying initial rider plans have changed in last couple of weeks due to 'unexpected rider availability'! Fans should be excited with the revised 1-7. Announcements to be drip-fed to maximise media coverage over the next couple of months. (PS. Full interview with Adam Roynon in the local Echo today and online. Front page/Back page and Full inside sports page - can't complain about that!)

I think both Drymls have retired.

Assuming Cook is going to the Comets, his article in the SS this week is certainly a positive one!

,,,,,and its only Premiership clubs.

Don't you have any friends to meet up with?

I won't bother to message Lewy - he'll almost certainly read it on here!

So the 'good old days' that we keep hearing about, weren't so good after all?

Good luck for when the Euros '24 and Paris Olympics start!!

Crikey, how long ago did New Cross close? And did they go bust or were they forced out of there stadium?
