All teams are 'illegal' at the moment!! For those riders that rode in 2014, the final 2014 averages are on the BSPA site.

Who's Bob Kirby?

Think its his wrist not his shoulder!! It was referred to as a 'dead wrist' but should be ok for Good Friday.

Did they not put a load of extra shale on at around 6pm which left parts of the track (Bend 3 in particular - but not exclusively) far too heavy, which resulted in much attempt at regrading during the first 4 heats? Much better to have left it slick after scraping all the top slop off!! But Buster has all the right equipment and loads of shale so everything must have been ok?!

Visiting friends!!

Isn't it Portugal that has Europe's worst drivers?

Should suit Poole to a tee then, I'd have thought!! Although it sounds as though having so much spare shale sitting around at the arena and putting it on too late has led to a poorly prepared and dangerous track for both sets of riders!!

Great round of applause for Poole's non-riding club captain showing concern for one of his injured clubmates. Some people on here need to get a life and move on.

Hopefully the 14 point lead can be defended, especially with the possible use of the T/R yielding more than Rory managed last night?! Hopefully a safe night for all riders too!!

I didn't realise speedway had any fans in Blackpool??! NB. Great to see Darcy amongst the first to rush across to check on Kyle Newman after his big crash in Heat 2 at Poole last night

Not forgetting Eurosport2 at 1800 hours LIVE, with numerous repeat showings over the next week. I actually enjoyed the Pairs last year much much more than the Euro Championships.

Maybe its just for League meetings?! Davey Watt did it too.....

Kyle Newman took a big off (broken chain) in his first race at Poole this evening - withdrawn from meeting with mild concussion.

Mild concussion for Kyle but looked ok after the meeting tonight. Holder missing due to the Pairs and not being able to get a flight in time for the practice. Janowski is not in the Pairs, but the fixture was not on the original draft list given to Magic some weeks/months ago, so he has other commitments.

Well I confess to being a little surprised but nevertheless delighted with tonight's result, especially after losing Kyle Newman (mild concussion - but looked fine afterwards) in heat 2 when his chain broke whilst attempting a 'big one around the outside of turn 4'!! All the Pirates contributed well - each with at least one heat win - but exceptional performances by North and Starke and of course the skipper. Disappointed with the Stars to be honest - not one rider in double figures including a T/R - but they are just as likely to reverse all that with Poole on Thursday night. PS. For all the afficianados, Nothing wrong with the track, that a bit more shale wouldn't have improved - but no holes, no ruts to speak of, and not even Poole's infamous 'blue groove' appearing. It was bl***y cold though!

I could text the spelling to you Gemini!!!

Good signing for the Bees especially as a 2nd string. Play-off contenders and even finalists, for sure!

So the track was fine when the meeting took place days later. Lets hope its fine tonight. For any travelling Stars fans, the stadium owners (not Poole Speedway) have increased the car park admission to £2.

But that is what he did say!! I was there on P&P day and have my own opinion. As I said its all a ruse to get Buster to bring some shale with him!

Poole asset, Ellis Perks guests for Paul Starke on Friday, as Starke is riding for his parent club, Somerset.

Kings Lynn originally said he'd be missing both legs but they've updated their website now! r/r on Thursday. Extra ride for North and rides for Newman

Don't expect too much from Davey Watt - he's sick but is en-route and still intending to compete!! Good man.

Yeah but the story mentions activities/events on 'every day' so unless its greyhounds on 6 days a week, there has to be other 'events' in the plans eg stocks and/or non-motorsport events?! Whatever the eventual sports there has to be covered seating and standing areas if its going to compete against other modern stadium facilities to get people to attend regularly rather than a 'once-a-year' special event!!. Basic minimum nowadays.

Is NKI riding for Gorzow on Wednesday??

Absolutely. Chris needs to keep his average up til July!!
