I really can't see Sheffield being tempted. Machin has refused time and time again. Ippo maybe, if Sky are still involved in some way, but then what about the likes of Eastie and KL who were the ones that voted for fewer meetings?! Also the top (GP) riders don't want more meetings so they'll either disappear under a lower points limit or maybe go for a shared rider/squad system - if (and its a big if) that can be afforded!

Having sat through the meeting yesterday, I thought there were some very good races and some pretty poor ones!! The track wasn't at its best - in fact very similar to when Peterborough visited a fortnight or so ago - so no surprise that Bjerre qualified!! NKI was a class apart and a deserving winner and with KK bringing 2 new specially prepared engines, plus his full Polish pit crew - it was no surprise that he also qualified. As far as supporting the riders was concerned, in a crowd with a fair number of Poole fans, the loudest cheers were certainly whenever King and Harris were on track. Other than that the German fans were the most vociferous followed by the Poles, all of whom found their own sections within the stadium - and there were no attempted invasions!! Crowd size was 'reasonable' I would say although bigger than usual on bends 1/2. Grandstand was packed as was the restaurant stand (except for some of the places reserved for FIM!!) Was £25 too much for 20 heats, plus £4 for a programme - not if you think £17 is ok for EL meetings!!! (NB. Parking prices were increased, but that's not down to the Speedway bosses, that's the Grayhound owners!!)

...as it grows again out of the same pile of manure!!!!

...but usually with a 'pre-AGM' sometime around now I think?! Its often been said - even by some promoters - that the AGM should be earlier. Other countries' leagues seem to agree their structures well before the BSPA's.

I bet the £25 admission charge is not reduced though, with this weaker field!!!!

I'm sure Agent Watt has clarified it for him!

Kildermand may have had to withdraw as one of the meeting reserves??!

Oh no, that's very sad news. Although not a great fan of some of his repetitive catchphrases in the early days of Sky, I did actually meet him in a business capacity many years ago when one of his businesses was the 'premium-rate sports telephone lines' that many sportsclubs, local newspapers, radio stations and businesses used to enhance their income!! RIP Tony - you've had your last 'ding-dong battle' mate.

He actually only completed one away meeting for Poole at Swindon (ES) and then crashed in his 2nd home race on Good Friday, after scoring 1 point in his first, which only had 3 finishers!! NB. Thanks for Skornicki for tonite!

Who/what/where/why is this 'Gavan' that's popped up in a couple of threads???? Not too many posts recently so maybe he's 'had enough' already??

Absolutely - I wasn't inferring anything else. (ps. leaves it open for him to sign for Wolves though!! )

Just as important in that same statement is the fact that Peter Ljung has turned down the chance to return!! Seb Ulamek targeting a return v the Robins!!

..and they probably won't get visas for every round!!

Not of the British Leagues they won't!!!!

whats happening tomorrow? ...and where?

....and he'd cost too much and probably not be that committed against Poole!!??

Great news for Rory and for Stars fans.

How can that work? Whats Kozza's EL average? Schlein is on 6.78 (7.12 for home guests); Pedersen was 8.61 after 20(?) meetings in 2011? Current team average (with Schlein and Lebedevs) is 41.05.

Spot on post, Aces51!!

Exactly what was said on the SGP website, straight after Holsted, wasn't it?! Incidentally, it is on Saturday 24th not next Saturday!

Team spirit is such a wonderful thing!!!

Unfortunately to many of the regular posters on this forum these words are meaningless!!

That ain't about to happen!!

:rofl:

If you are hopeful of a serious response from a (potential) promoter, why would you post something as serious and positive on this forum?? I assume you have emailed/written/texted/tweeted(?) to the SCB/BSPA offices?!
