Except that Darcy is in Australia!! Batch did us proud in the play-offs last year but I don't think he's the answer based on his rides since his injuries - and he's guesting for AJ anyway!! R/r for Magic confirmed for Monday.

"Spare us a copper, Guvnor"!!

I wonder how many of speedway's 'great and good' will be there on a 'freebie'?? That's probably why its more expensive for those that do pay!

Who said anything about a full team???

Not certain but due to all the other Bank Holiday meetings and other teams also requiring guests, I'm hearing it could be r/r!!

Absolutely - couldn't agree more. Should have been insisted upon when Sky first got involved. One assumes they forgot to submit/confirm the redeclaration?! So Doyle must be guesting for AM as there would be accusations of cheating if it were for PK who hasn't ridden a meeting yet!!!

He can only guest for Kildemand/Miedzinski. Average is too high for Batchelor.

Well done to the Aces for a much better all-round team performance. Whatever the supposed issues with the track, teams will not win anything if their heat leaders don't reach double figures, however well the support riders are doing. Yet again the Pirates didn't gate - although a little better than against the Bees - and they didn't seem to have anything like the same speed as the Aces. All in all, lucky to get the point!! Anyway, on to Wolves on Monday - Davey Watt returns as a 2nd string and Lewis Rose guests for Starke!! PS. Good to catch up again with Lemo before the meeting - top lad!!

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!!

Josh could travel up from the Rye House 2pm meeting to guest - he's done well at Monmore in the past!

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?!

Watt is fit to return but cannot this Wednesday because Josh G has to complete his 'minimum 28 day cover'! Watt will return for the May fixtures.

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

Does that mean 'good on paper', but less so on track?!

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.

The 20 meeting rolling average is based only on 2014 and 2015 scores! I don't think we will see Milik returning to Poole - or any other club - unless he reduces his considerable financial demands!!!! Shamek? I'll keep an open mind on! Its still early days.

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.

He might do a bit better as a 2nd string when he returns in May!!

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

What a pointless thread!!
