Havvy at Coventry! Job done!!

No. The race times were pretty good with Poole making the gate 9 times out of 10 or maybe that should be 11 times out of 15!

Darcy flew back in today.

Has merit in principle - but it does depend who is on the committee?!

Isn't the situation at Belle Vue different to other clubs as to whose responsibility it is? After the debacle of the 'rain-off' due to riders missing flights in 2013, weren't the BV promotion told that as part of their punishment any future call offs (for at least 2 years?) had to be done by an SCB official?!

Just remind everyone again who the Chair of the SCB is???!!

Howarth isn't out of a job though is he?! He's still earning in the PL and guesting at Poole this evening!! PS as this thread is in the International and SGP section, I wonder which riders are to be 'dropped' by Torun and Piraterna for Darcy to get a ride?!

Surprised kelvin didn't make any mention of it!!?

Still in Oz at the moment training at the gym - so still waiting for visa and/or flight!!!

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at that meeting - bearing in mind who is currently on the SCB!!

Perhaps it is - its just the various 'statements' that give the situation a different slant!!

To be fair, a highlights package is more than sufficient - whichever leagues are being shown!!

I think there is a 'longer term plan' as far as the EDRs go, but it surely has to be a bit 'provisional' depending on how the EDR riders perform each season. I guarantee that there will be some Grade A EDRs who will want to stay EDRs rather than be promoted into the 1-5 next year - just as there were at least a couple of EDRs that wanted to be 2nd strings this year but weren't allowed to by their promoters because the club ©wouldn't guarantee them a 1-5 place this year!!

EDRs don't count as double-uppers. The proposal - if it goes through - is to have at least one Brit from the EDR as a second string. Whether that affects how the EDR system works in the future we shall have to see.

Probably at least 3 from next season if BSPA stick to their proposal at the AGM!!!

So Lakeside arrive with Milik for Nilsson; Howarth for Bech and Wilkinson for Birks. Should be a good meeting. I bet the viewing figures for Sky's Berwick v Peterboro meeting will be down!! Should be a great Poole welcome home for Magic and Noddy!

Psychic obviously!!!!

Depends which track specialist Lakeside get in for Nilsson?? Milik?

How has he screwed up? He couldn't apply for the visa, with his UK club's endorsement, until the ban was over, which is why he flew back to OZ last weekend. Hardly his fault if the visa office is inundated with visa applications is it?!

Buster's on the BSPA MC too!!! You'd have thought he'd have had some influence! So the 'good but very different track' had nothing to do with Buster then - all down to Big Red Ron?

Its not a problem with any visa for Sweden. He is/was hoping to get his UK visa sorted for Friday and consequently booked a flight to the UK on Saturday. If that doesn't happen by Friday for some reason, his earliest flight back will not be until Monday which would not give him enough time to prepare effectively for Piraterna on Tuesday!!

He's left the club by mutual consent!

Enjoyed the meeting on Sky last night and just about a fair result for both teams considering the absent riders and - as riders from both teams commented - "a track very different to normal!!". So well done to Sky's/GSI's Ronnie Russell (Meeting Co-ordinator) for getting the track prep sorted!!!! (I am right, aren't I, that it is him rather than the home track staff that are responsible for Sky meetings?! ) Anyway good to watch young Lambert improving all the time and Maciej not being affected by the GP this weekend.

So will Zengota and/or Howarth really show Rosco who not to drop or has one of them already been told?! I can only see a Swindon win of 52-38 ish.

As I put on another thread, the play-offs will be Poole v Kings Lynn and Coventry v Belle Vue!! Havvy and Middlo have decided!!
