The gist of the article is basically how pleased they were with it - TV, Attendance, publicity etc. They have plans, supported by FIM, to have 4 rounds next year (That was the original plan!). The longer term aims are to invite the top 2 clubs from each league and also eventually to include teams from Germany. However the meetings/tournament need major sponsorship so that clubs and riders (and FIM presumably) 'can all earn money' from it. The rules of rider eligibility are constantly under review and discussion with all authorities. Eg the Polish Leagues have already proposed Polish riders only riding in a maximum of 2 leagues - Poland and ONE other!! The riders of all nationalities are understandably against this proposal - so this will need clarifying! Watch this space......

Presumably not now with Janowski?!!

Tai is riding for Team GB in the Best Pairs next week, so end of story really!!

So, the forecasted rain arrived on schedule at around 9 am but seems to be going through fairly quickly. All forecasts are now for a dry and even sunny afternoon/evening. Thanks to Lawson for stepping in at very short notice and he will hopefully be wanting to do much better than his last home guest appearance?!

Don't you mean 'we will have a 5-man team with Morris and Bjerre'?

Weather permitting, and with Magic back, Poole need to have their gating gloves back on and a 10 point win is not out of the realms of possibility.

Mainly due to the strength of the team rather than the track then!! Are Poole the best away side over that same period too?

Nice try!!

I believe Foxtel have relented!! Enjoy.

Please try to keep up Post #6 confirms Dak North as guest for Stead!!

What a pointless thread!!

He's representing Denmark in the GP Challenge!

Shame you forgot when you posted earlier this morning - before you edited at 10.17am about moving the Poole v Coventry June 17th meeting to June 15?!

Ah I see you've realised the British Final is on 15th June!!! I understand Fox have had a change of heart and are now showing British meetings.

...or Holder?!

The SS has the 6 Danish GPO qualifiers as:- Madsen Bjerre Jensen (Rasmus) Monberg MJJ and Kildemand

Don't forget that its rumoured that Jon Cook is lined up to replace Alex Harkess as BSPA Chairman at this year's AGM, so the MC is likely to agree to any of his requests - for the benefit of speedway!!

Bjarne Pedersen has declined his GP Challenge place.

Good to see Rosco finally getting some enjoyment from last night's performance and result. Also very complimentary comments about Lambert's improvement - Team GB here he comes!!!

Yeah shouldn't be guesting for Swindon tonight. Hope he fails to score for you. Still if you can find a criteria that suits you?! Absolute joke!!

Maybe its about time we got back to 2-stroke uprights!!

Lets hope the air-fences are strong and correctly fitted!!

At least Sky are ringing the changes!! The old 'intros' were just that, old.......and boring!! Maybe if they are trying to reach a younger audience, they should show it - or something promotionally similar - on their other channels?!

I believe the EDR guys in the EL are on a set £60 a point, plus whatever sponsorship they can generate. The suggestion of £200 - £250 per point for EL heat leaders is about right, BUT they often will demand and get extra in the form of big signing on fees, vans, accommodation, mechanics etc.
