But presumably Boothby makes it pay at that level?

But the Oxford guy has at least 2 other greyhound tracks! Does he not get tv at those as well as at Cowley? If he hasn't got tv then how does he make it pay? Nb Swindon dogs are still fully operational.

What about the greyhound chap who got the Oxford stadium on a ten year lease? Where did those dogs come from?

Didn't they start doing that after the Barker incident last year - albeit briefly!!

Was it not stated earlier that they had no immediate plans to develop PB. Although Council were 'encouraging' them to start sooner?

Are all Polish U.24 riders classed as 'seniors' in the main squad?

Pickering has already said he has to rethink his options for 2024!!

Just as well it probably won't get reported anywhere else then!

Jim Lawrence said in Speedway Star interview at start of 2023 that the rulebook is/was to have a thorough overhaul! We live in hope........

Plus the costs of further testing.

So Richie available to race from early June 2024 then?

The new Polish rules restricting riders at 6&7 in all 3 leagues to just Polish, will restrict some younger Brits,Aussies and other non-Polish riders from team places!/

Many seem to forget that BSPL(not BSPA) as it now is, is made up of all the club owners/promoters as Directors of the Limited Company. (Assume this includes the NDL clubs although not sure?).Each has voting rights on most decisions, especially when significant changes are proposed, with the majority winning the day. The Management Board (currently Godfrey, Ford, Louis and Bates) is elected by the majority to make decisions on issues as they arise during the season - especially decisions on misleading rules. For me the major issue is to sort out the rule book once and for all, rather than adding new rules which impact and confuse existing ones and for which a duty board member can easily make a mistake in a split second decision on a race day. Team building and points limits (or rider averages) are subject to the majority vote.

So sorry to hear of more vandalism damage at the Coliseum in recent days. Ben Trigger has posted pics etc on Facebook. I know we all banter a bit but no club deserves this.

Rumoured to be a Poole target, Tom Brennan signs for Swedish league Indianerna!

I mentioned that a while back when they were only talking Div 2!! Now it's all 3 Polish leagues it may.not be just young Aussies it affects

If there's a similar competition in 2024, any club that withdrew from its fixtures should be automatically banned!

Rosco wasnt silent on the recent Lee Ashby podcast!!

Does Buster own any Peterboro rider assets?

I get where you are coming from, but maybe people need a greater overview of a topic than just one person's post? Context is good!

Thanks. I'd trawled through those regs - admittedly looking for something else - and clearly missed this.

Yes but this whole sub-topic revolves around Kyle's statement today!

So just to get this right, Mr Tolley said Mondays (hence Premiership) were the only days offered by PB for 2024. Also he was looking at a meeting with the stadium people hoping for a speedway sub-lease of at least 2 years in order to invest more of his dosh.( this looks doubtful in light of ARC getting planning permission for the race course!)? So is the current position that Brummies are not running in either league?

Kyle said most teams are already sorted.

And Anders Rowe!
