When Sky sponsored the EL (they don't now), monies were paid to the BSPA who released it to the clubs periodically through the season. Not sure if it works the same way with money only for TV meetings?

PQ7 - That's the pic with the report in the Echo that makes reference to 'the Coventry team falling apart'!! I cannot/ will not comment further other than to say that Poole and Kings Lynn have a great opportunity to bring some respectability back to our sport with the televised meeting tomorrow, in front of a packed house of £10 paying punters!!

So who was right in their respective interviews? Horton said in the podcast that 'Coventry had been instructed not to prepare the track they way they wanted to'! Havvy said in the TV interview that Terry (the regular trackman) had worked wonders to get the track fit to race!!

This is one of the most sensible posts I've seen on this thread - Agree 100%.

Of course Middlo was 'smirking' as would every other team manager if he'd just been gifted a win by a combination of track conditions, officials and another team manager who refused to allow his riders (who wanted to ride) to go onto the track!

Its difficult to show class in a dubious victory - its even more difficult when Poole are getting the blame for doing absolutely nothing wrong.

Nobody said that Poole weren't prepared to go out for the remaining heats. It was Coventry (or Havvy in particular) that refused to send their riders out!!

Thanks Nigel - 'Poole did nothing wrong'!! Poole simply scored more points on a track that Coventry weren't able to prepare to their own liking. That vendetta's a real ba$£@rd ain't it Havvy?! Some of the regular haters really need to get a life if there was any fault on Poole's part tonight.

Its raining dogs!!

Aren't Polish teams only allowed to track 3 foreigners at a time?! I confess I don't fully understand all the Polish rules anymore than I understand the British ones!?

Good to see Havvy's got his finger on the pulse as usual!! 'Speedway: Havelock backs 'box office' Darcy Ward to make immediate Poole Pirates return' - taken from today's local Echo. www.bournemouthecho.co.uk Shame Hans can't 'give the finger' to all the doubters!!

Yes, but someone would have to be injured for that to happen AORLOV - plus of course you will have to get into the play-offs!!!?

Well it was 3 days ago that the Polish announcement was made about Janowski so plenty of time for the Polish promotion to realise their error, but not tell the fans!!

Unconfirmed (as yet) rumours from Poland today suggest Maciej has been replaced in the Polish squad by Pawel Przedpelski?!

No idea. my point was you get what you pay for.

Latest reports suggest Maciej has been replaced by Pawel Przedpelski!!!

No!

How much was a ticket for Wembley on Saturday?

If its wet and heavy, Coventry to win by 14 points!

They won't want him missing for 28 days, as he'll miss opportunities to get his average up, so it will be a 6-point PL rider - if Magic chooses to ride in this non-FIM International Friendly.

I wonder if this and other potential fixture clashes will be used as the 'reason' for Poole to make changes at the end of June??

He's not known as 'Bay City Cook' for no reason!!

But isn't from Monday!!

Twice the value and sensible finance.

Only £20 for the15 meetings!!
