Poole were going into it as Elite Champs at that time, with a round in each of the countries represented. There was a huge debate about Holder and Ward as to who they should ride for. But at the end of the day it all came down to money! Anyone riding in the Polish League wanted the same Polish pay rates for every round, no matter who they rode for!

Pubs not open yet Lewy?! Its not a MC, its a Management Board of a Limited Company, with Directors voted on by their peers. 2 x Premiership; 2 x Championship (including the Chairman)!

Surely you forget who the chairman of the Management Board is!?

Well he received a KL contract before he left for Oz. Not sure if he signed it though?!

What about Ben Cook?

Maybe someone had a word in his ear beforehand??😉

Presumably Bailey as I doubt he'll be in as a 2 pointer?!

I think there's every chance Kerr will be at Redcar?!

Buying Sheffield?

When something similar was attempted a few years ago, it fell down because all the Polish riders insisted on being paid the same rate when they raced abroad. Effectively the smaller clubs could not afford to compete!

Most riders of any worth are 'tapped up' prior to the season end. Its just that some teams' seasons are over a lot sooner than others!😇

Why is all this AGM stuff on POOLE 2026 thread?

I thought that's what Ipswich have been doing!?

So the next obvious questions to follow your 'younger audience' statement is "what would attract a younger audience to attend regularly"? And "what age is a 'younger audience'? I cannot imagine a younger audience being incentivised to attend if they are getting easy access to full meetings on mainstream TV, Streaming or You-Tube! There has to be abetter chance of them being attracted to watch a short, sharp 'highlights' package involving some sort of jeopardy and gladiatorial battles (and no I don't mean Plymouth).

Promoters (BSP Limited) meet regularly throughout the season both in person, face to face and via Zoom or Team platforms. Decisions and/or recommendations should be discussed and rubber-stamped at the AGM, as is the case with most company AGMs.

Or...."The future's bright, in the Blue and White..."😜 It sounds better when it rhymes.........😇

Championship set the 40 point limit for 3 years in 2024, based on the same number of teams in the league!.

Well he has quit Team Vaculik now that he's not in the SGPs.

12th November in Rugby I believe

I'll tell him for next season!

Anyone would think that the Promoter of the bottom club has a greater say than the others at BSPL meetings?! OH hang on...................!?

Blowing his main engine in the pits during warm-up on Friday also didn't help his BSN performance!!

Yes sorry, I hadn't caught up with Issue 27 - not that too much has changed.

Sorry didn't realise you were there to witness the conversation?!

Rich stayed in the pits at the end because he felt he'd let the team down and didn't want to accept a medal that he felt he didn't deserve. Aside from that, so good to hear from Toby that nothing is broken, just a concussion. He intends to be at the end-of-season function, which was going to be announced on Friday but in the circumstances was decided not to. Poole fans, Watch this space........
