Everything comes to those that wait!! Re Gomolski - his average of 3.94 was only gained the season before last, not having been out of the EL for 3 seasons!! Goodness me, I should hope not HS - anymore than I would question your knowledge of all things.......Swindon?!

Looking forward to seeing the Lions this season - I couldn't travel up last year - I well remember Bjarne and Jason's team riding for Poole back in the day!!!!!!

Lets hope Eurosport introduce a 'pits interviewer' for the coming SGP series. If each rider is interviewed before the meeting, walking (a straight line) towards the camera, we can all give our views as to how intelligible they are and whether they should be allowed to race?!

Same as the final FIM statement then!!

Isn't that the same with all promoters?

Thank goodness for that!!! Thanks RP - no worries!

I was actually trying to meet up with him to pay him some money but he said 'no sweat' and to wait til P&P day. hey ho!! Texting is such a wonderful thing!!

GRW123, I know exactly who the final 2 riders are/were - as do several other fans and sponsors. The error I made with an earlier post was thinking that MF was back from hols at the weekend, whereas he then told me he was away until Tuesday ie today. So expect an announcement soon - although I'm surprised so many are that interested, as it now doesn't affect any other teams - unless of course there has been any last minute hitch which is not insurmountable - as MF said in his last official statement on the issue.

I'm a Poole fan - I know the answers. As I've said before MF is back from hols tomorrow so it won't be long. I'm just delighted everyone else is so interested.

How are the floods in Portugal??

Was his career backdated??! But he wasn't ineligible at the time!!!

The Linksport info does say Batch is available to ride immeadiately!! Presumably as he's already in this country the process is quicker?! Good on him, the more Aussies the better imo.

Best wishes to both for a full and speedy recovery.

Ha ha, btw will you be having a guest for Batch or have Swindon finally got their Migrant Sponsor Licence now? So today's announcements leave Poole the last club to publicly confirm their 1-7. Maybe MF's return from hols on Tuesday will be the catalyst, so that he can deal first hand with all the usual media interest/ interviews and appearances!!?

Not for the first time, the FIM statement makes no mention of any club. They have no power to force domestic associations/clubs/leagues to change anything - particularly on a back-dated basis - when the punishment statement applies solely to an offence by a rider in an FIM individual international meeting. Nothing more to see here - move on.

Not according to SCB's Graham Reeve in this week's SS. "We suspended Darcy when the FIM suspended him. We cannot backdate a suspension. That's crazy.......I can't see Poland or Sweden changing their results either."

Any decent laps on Sunday will be a plus before Good Friday!!

KO Cup 2001 Poole v Coventry - Cegielski hunting Hamill and Tacey for 4 laps and taking both on the line!!

Its a good signing if he's really up for it and has his own machinery. I guess he's doing EL to recoup some of his lost (unpaid) monies from Poland last year.

As opposed to the Kings Lynn v Poole 1st leg which Poole also won!! I think the mods should close this unnecessary thread now - the SCB has spoken!

Walasek was part of Option 3 so the fact that Leicester have been given permission to announce him would suggest that option 2 is signed and sealed - and just waiting for the best local media day to announce. As PoP has correctly stated, (with AFC Bournemouth's win last night covered extensively in today's editions), the Echo should have their main sports pages available on Monday.

What?

When has the local paper ever been known to be wrong?!

waiting for the FIM to announce their full statement first I guess - they have until March 15th - unless he's already been given advance notice of what it says?!

Big new £1,7 million (10 mill zloty?) sponsorship announced for Polish Extraleague. Lets hope some of it goes to those riders left out of pocket last year!!
