Bech will be missing for at least a week!!

...still waiting..........!

Update: I note on twitter/facebook that Kacper has picked up a new sponsor in Poole so looks like he will be staying.

Isn't Piotr injured??

Dak North is looking for extra meetings!!

There were a few whispers going around last night after Kacper's celebratory laps that it could have been his farewell?! I hope not. If it is Kacper to be replaced then MF has 5.15 to play with from August 1st. His programme notes - as with his BBC interview - suggest that IF he is to make a change then 'there are options open to us - those options are riders not currently in the EL but ones which would excite our supporters'!? If its Dak that is to miss out then we have 6.04 to play with......!

Hardly just a few dozen. The queues were out to the main road at one point. Biggest crowd at Poole since the last big crowd! PS a good night for the SRBF collection too!

What a great meeting that was!! Fastest heat times of the season again! Poole looking very strong - even Dak who had bike problems in his first 3 heats was not far off the pace. No-one could live with Holder and Janowski. Well done too Agent Ward, the first part of your 2015 mission is complete. We will see you in 3 weeks for part 2. (Just for the conspiracy theorists!) Terrific atmosphere and only one (very) poor refereeing decision - in heat 8 by Tony Steele.

Hit the nail on the head there C4G. Where Darcy or Chris or Magic ride next year will be down to what the team building rules are and where the riders themselves want to ride - UK or not?!. Swindon at the moment (or from 1st August at least) have a similar problem especially if the 'only 2 over 7 points rule' is retained? If Swindon attempt to manipulate Batch's end of season average, then that may not do their play-off chances any good!! As far as Poole are concerned, as Matt's preferred starting option for this season was Darcy and Magic then I don't see his mind changing much for 2016!!

He was $#it hot - so maybe there was some of that Polish sausage left in them!!

Jon Cook has said 'in excess of 2000'! Very pleased he was too!

No quibble there - Poole and Darcy! Will probably have a beer with Rosco too.

So I guess Rosco will try to get Hans again for Morris? The reserve is anyone's guess. With Davey not 100% and Zengota flying - this could be very close.

Just as a matter of interest, last Saturday Poole's Matt Ford was on BBC Radio Solent's Sports show for over an hour. During the discussion he mentioned that there was a promoter 'actively pursuing' the Oxford licence, with a view to reintroducing speedway sooner rather than later!!

Anyone got Mr Trumps' number??!!!

I've told everyone before - Havvy and Middlo have it all agreed!!

wooooossshhhh!!

I hear the BSPA may do away with the rule of only 2 x 7+ pointers for the 2016 team building - in the interest of strengthening the EL!!!?

Just as well theres no Swindon meeting that Thursday!!

Including the T/R?!

He did blow an engine and had a fall in Poland yesterday whilst scoring 8 points.

Sky have started their live Monday Night footie games by then!!

What do you mean IF he wants to return?!

The top riders don't want more UK fixtures - unless there is a limit put on team places in Poland and Sweden!! Squads of some sort or other (even shared No 1's) has to come at some point.

Excellent post - 100% agree. ps. re KK's 'slump' - does anyone really know whats going on with him? Is he refusing to do interviews? It would make a good article for the Star to run. Love him or loathe him I'm sure most fans would like to know.
