Good post Tsunami! The only thing I would take issue with is the position with Sky?! As I said in an earlier post, why someone from BSPA/GSI hasn't approached Sky mid-season and given them a sensible deadline to respond with a decision, I just don't understand!! A presentation could and should have been put together to BT Sport (or whoever). The sport would have been no worse off than it is now in terms of knowing whether it has a TV future and planning for 2014 accordingly!

I wouldn't be happy either. That's why the admission cost needs to reduce at the same time as we lose the top riders to make savings. Alternatively, as others have suggested, perhaps the new team-building rules will concentrate only on those riders who are based in UK for the whole season - thereby saving all air fares etc

Not entirely accurate!! Matt has a third party to sell advertising space in the programme and in the stadium. Matt and his co-promoters gets the actual sponsors in!

The Star explains that it is due to another bad accident for organiser Marcus Williams, requiring him to be 'in traction' for a lengthy period of time!!

What about the folk who watch both football and speedway?! There is really only one month - mid June to mid July - when there is no overlap!!

...or in football for that matter!!!!!!!

Josh and the 2 Kyles plus some 6-7 pointers, I reckon. Can't see any of this year's top 3 included - whichever riders occupied those positions! A shame, but reality has to kick in sometime in the EL top division.

Lots of people change their minds when they know what he can be like!!

Go ahead, name all these Puppets then!! It should make very interesting reading for any legal eagles (and I don't mean Eastbourne!)!!

...and its taken you 6 whole days to come up with that??!!

Any Brum fans able to confirm that the BSPA/Sky track covers are going on, as the forecast for Monday currently shows light rain and showers from mid-morning through the afternoon!!?

Quite a few in Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon Cornwall, across the Midlands and much further afield in Australia, New Zealand, Poland etc etc, judging by all the comments on social media sites!!

Gavan is a PL Ipswich fan - apparently!!! Well for this season at least!!

Why? Has he 'gone home'??

The odds of you having a 'proper discussion with the sensible Poole fans today' must be firmly in your favour Gavan - judging by the number of posts in most of the threads involving Poole. In fact it seems as though you are attempting to have the final word on every thread?! In which case Ithink I might well withdraw until after Monday and then again until after the AGM.

Jason and Bomber thought the track was fine - as did all the Poole boys!!

..and at Leicester. He's been told he must prove his fitness if he is to be considered for Monday, and Ippo have no meetings this week!! I see Barker is also riding!!

Those teams look good on paper! Shame Rohan and Ben aren't on opposing sides!!?

That is such a 'spot-on' post and could/should apply to the majority of riders, teams and Speedway managements in general across the UK!!

But it was the events lies about the earlier call-off that meant an SCB Official had to be present for the September fixture (and all others) and as has been pointed out several times on the meeting thread, it has to be the HOME team's riders that request the abandonment!! Added to that, that BV had no other dates to rearrange the fixture before the cut-off and its in the rules (like it or not) that a meeting can be called after 10 heats! Don't blame Poole for the rules or the mistakes of others, we get enough c**p as it is!!!

The only way anyone will get Greg in the UK is if the fixture list is cut to around 15/16 meetings only! (as stated in the Daily Echo interview yesterday!)

Anyone else spot Eddie Mitchell, local Property developer and ex-chairman of AFC Bournemouth, at the stadium last night??!!

2 coachloads of Poole fans booked already!! Should be a great night for the Brummies promotion!! Welcome to Poole's world!!

Nothing like a confusing headline!! He 'hopes' to stay racing in England!!

With the 2nd leg sponsored by Ford - I bet everyone's relieved that deal was done before last night!!!!
