Richard's should have been in 2023 but held over due to Worrall's.

There must have been a sizeable financial carrot offered to Brummies by Phil Morris! I know Brummies had little choice - either Prem on Mondays or don't run at all - and PM was mentioning all sorts of financial benefits when presenting his case at the 'Save Coventry' inquiry hearing recently!

I would have expected some sort of comment from the club on their website rather than simply putting up the BSPL AGM statement!?

Why should having 2 NDL riders mean less entertainment? Losing Ryan Douglas is certainly a big loss as he is a guarantee of big points but whoever the new 1-7 are can still provide entertaining racing - and that applies to any club.

Fixture planning in 2024 with 3 teams will be a nightmare with Olympics and Euro '24 also taking place!!

They will be easy to find, just look for the Spires!

Only 4 teams to make the play offs in 2024.

Kyle Newman gets a Testimonial - presumably at Poole?!

BSPL website Premiership and Championship club logo pages being updated atm. So expect some sort of announcement soon...........

Well if Oxford are riding in 2 leagues - as has been rumoured - then I hope they re-name one of the teams!! Scott Nicholls confirms he is only riding in Championship in 2024.

Clubs should operate at a level that is financially sustainable and build a team that meets that criteria!

Currently,except for occasional TV stipulations, and in recent seasons AFCB have held their midweek matches on Tuesdays to avoid clashing with Pirates Wednesday meetings. Hopefully the new American owners will continue with this arrangement as a good number of locals support both clubs!

Day 2 update - Tea and biscuits replaced by coffee and churros!

Plus they attract fans and sponsorship from areas well away from Poole (20, 30, 40 miles away) despite there being other professional sports in those areas!!

I believe the plan is for the AGM/Conference to go to Friday lunchtime.

But Dickie Bird has retired!!

...getting a last minute flight to Tenerife, I imagine!!

Quick - someone tell Lewy his evening's viewing enjoyment is well and truly sorted!!

A bar/restaurant/stand specifically for the greyhound/gambling fans!

After years of holding the AGM/Conference in UK (usually Rugby), who wouldn't want a change? Good luck to them all.

I think GS550 has a severe case of the Boxalls!!

He's Chief Executive of a section of BSP Ltd., so Yes!

It's probably where most of the main decisions will have been made!!

Said it before - Uk-based riders are more cost effective.

That was probably partially my fault. I was abroad and picked up on a conversation and simply got my weeks wrong. I blame the sun and booze!!
