Thanks. I know a couple of bars where I can watch the SWC and British Final - if I can be bothered!

His 28 meeting rolling average was 8.70. His 20 meeting average is lower. Then there is the potential effect of the FIM points reduction?! Either way it won't be above 9 points.

and doing a fair bit of motocross - both before he returned to Oz and since!!!

Vilamoura (stayed there several times) - I've been a regular visitor to the Algarve for nearly 30 years.

Kent aside - I would like to think there will be 9 or 10 teams in the EL next year anyway - which would make it the largest senior league in Europe!!! Not sure what the standard will be though - depends to some extent what restrictions the Polish League place on their contracted riders?!

Subject to no injuries in Poland today, Magic should be back - with no GPs for 6 weeks - and if he rides like he did in Prague then plenty of time to get his average up by the end of June before the GPs start again and he fully concentrates on those again.

Ah thank goodness for that - I can wear my Pirates tee-shirt with absolutely no chance of being accosted by another Speedway fan when I'm in the Algarve in 2 weeks time - all arranged not to miss a single Poole meeting!

I guess I'd rather be in the sun sipping a cold drink - and not give a t**s about BSF comments!!

How rude and immature!!! If he's outside in the sun and using wifi for all his long posts, that's even sadder!! Not from his team they're not - just from his scores which affect his team building average/grade, so he can't be included in the Piraterna squad, under their current rules, when he returns from his ban. We don't yet know what adjustment, if any, the BSPA/SCB will make to Darcy's average when he completes his ban.?

I don't think that's fair - quite often one of their reporters is in attendance.

They could have renamed that episode 'Big One on the Ron Show'! Nicking a classic from Snooker commentary - For those who were watching in black and white, Ron was the red one!!

It must be very hot in Portugal at the moment for BWitcher to be spending so much time indoors on his laptop!! A bit sad really.

Just as well this meeting is before the June averages kick in!! Its the last time Nicholls can guest on current form.

What average does Masters come in on?

Presumably the speedway media were there and the key points won't just be restricted to next Friday's match programme?

The FIM statement makes no mention of Poole!! nor Piraterna or Torun for that matter!!

Only to effect his personal average/grade for 2015 - not affecting his club's 2014 position.

It doesn't specify that in the FIM statement - as I've said before it doesn't mention any club or league - purely an individual punishment.

Leicester sign Sam Masters to 'strengthen' the side!!!!!

That's a bit unfair - rib injuries are damn painful and not to be pleased about!!

Were any results/scores removed from his team? Edit. Sorry FB I hadn't got to your post - great minds eh?!

Don't tell Wolves!! ps. I note THJ has withdrawn from his Polish and Swedish fixtures next week but is riding in the GP tomorrow.

So Poole should be at full strength - subject to any further injury worries over the weekend. Leicester go with r/r for Pedersen. Zengota for Walasek (GP Qualifier) and Birks for Auty. Not sure about this one - I guess its all down to gating.....?

It made BBC Radio Solent's Sports News today - great stuff!
