He is - according to Middlo! What are 9 stitches in an arm wound anyway!!!?

Hope he rises to the top!! Davey Watt didn't really want to do it!!

Bjarne is not up for it. He has finished all his UK racing with his final meeting being the ELRC. He will not be back! Kyle Newman is declared fit and has been made captain for Monday

Indeed!!!

Golden Helmet's today isn't it??! Or have I mis-read something somewhere? Edited: Or is it the Czech one??

Think you're wrong about the guests averages Baz, which is why Middlo has said he hasn't decided on the riding order yet!! You'll be right about the pens and tippex though!! ps. Met Office have just issued a Yellow weather warning for Dorset on Monday (but should clear up for the afternoon!!) I hear Swindon are covering their track with Ronnie's plastic sheeting - not sure if Poole are attempting the same with their own or just letting the weather take its course?!

I don't necessarily disagree with that - if only the PL promoters would agree!!!

Correct - but no confirmed riding order as far as Poole are concerned!! Guest riders assume the average of the rider they are replacing don't they?! Kings Lynn's to lose now!!!

I could take a guess!!! I know at least one promoter who only wants one FTR reserve next year!!! Incidentally another GP rider, Magic Janowski, has come out and said that the UK needs to reduce its EL fixtures so that he can fit everything in for 2015. Those EL promoters who don't own their own tracks (that's most of them) also need to give their stadium landlords some sort of minimum guarantee as to the number of stadium rentals they need. Maybe just 'A' fixtures for the EL, plus each EL team running another team in a lower (PL) league without any top riders if they have to commit to a minimum number of fixtures??!

At least we'd have Milik available - and a greater choice of guests!! Although Wednesday's forecast is looking much worse than Mondays anyway!!

MJJ is the classic example of a rider who thinks and acts as though he is the best - but rarely delivers it in even the most mundane of meetings. PK is an exciting and entertaining rider who usually performs at the highest level!

Kings Lynn or Poole have the choice of hosting the Final second leg - and neither have problems with Wednesday night racing!! Personally I hope its a Poole v Swindon final - nothing like a 'local' derby to add to the atmosphere. And Swindon always love a big crowd!!

Rain is now forecast for the daytime but clearing for the late afternoon and evening. Should be no problem, but if it is rained off I guess it would be Wednesday or Thursday - Poole's official nights!!

Did I say that?? No. I said that some would argue it! I've said from the word go that he should receive an appropriate punishment, assuming all the testing was carried out correctly. I happen to think that if found guilty he should be fined and have at least a 12 month ban from the GPs, as that was where the offence was committed - but not from any league racing, in Poland, Sweden or UK!! I know many will disagree, but that's my view!!

Taken from the Poole fixture list:- Poole have qualified for the Elite League Play-offs along with King's Lynn, Coventry & Swindon. Semi-final ties will be ridden on Monday 29th September & Monday 6th October, opponents and venues to be determined. The finals are scheduled for Monday 13th October and Wednesday 15th October. All fixtures are subject to change at short notice

Maybe better asked on one of the Poole v Kings Lynn threads?!

Tai had to commit to UK speedway this season as British World Champion!! As that will no longer be the case in 2015, plus the fact that the sport at EL level doesn't seem to want to go to Mondays only, I don't expect Tai to compete in the EL next year.

And as some would argue, he has not put any riders at risk and he has already been punished, with a fine and suspension!!

Tai needs to get in the real world - that is the world of other GP/Polish League riders - who, just like the Boomtown Rats, 'Don't like Mondays!!!!'

The final is Monday 13th/Wednesday 15th October. Rain-offs will be either Thursday 16th and/or Monday 20th/Wednesday 22nd!

Yeah, good luck with that!! BV will try to run on a Friday unless by then the EL is all one night on a Monday(Sky?)/Wednesday???

Sky could still have their one Monday night meeting per week (with occasional Tuesday PL meetings) - if that continues to be their preferred night?!

So totally different to Dudek for example, who rode 'while under the influence' ??!!

There are whispers on a couple of facebook threads that the EL is moving towards Wednesday nights??!! If true, I would think the aim would be for 2016 to allow for all clubs to start negotiations with their stadium landlords!!

like in a squad system!!
