Can I keep this quote for future reference, as and when required?!

Artem rode Poole for Steve Worrall's testimonial - Poole not exactly a huge track - and scored a 4-ride max.

The disappointment is the size of the defeat, bearing in mind previous results at Oxford this season have been a win by 3 points and a loss by only 2 points! No body is saying Poole should have won but the overall scoreline was disappointing and caused the Poole promotion to comment accordingly - taking nothing away from Oxford, the team in form whereas Poole had a blip as in June 2022.

Maybe 'lull' is the wrong word?! But public comments from Danny Ford and Middlo after the Oxford scoreline would suggest the management is treating it seriously as unacceptable!

I've only got the Oxford meeting to go on!!

1,2,3,6 and 7.

Poole are having their usual mid-season (June) lull so anything could happen! Last season We lost at home to Leicester, spoiling our unbeaten home record, and then drew at- home with Plymouth in June so who knows?

I thought Rew said his schedule was too busy to fit Championship fixtures in? Of course that may change later..... New GSAs should be out this coming week for 1st July, so all will be clearer as to what the options might be.

Maybe if all the Competition Finals (KO Cup/BSN) were scheduled for after the August cut-off, then perhaps they could all be included in the GSAs rather than just League fixtures.

Tungate's piece in the Speedy Star this week reckons all previously negotiated and agreed UK deals are off!! Although he is still open to do Premiership....................

Who are SIS? Are they the new greyhound owners who also own the speedway and have a new 10 year lease?

Standard and points limit will be calculated on a 'one league' basis, imo, IF those clubs/stadia rumoured to be closing for speedway do so!? Judging by the 'success' of the IOW meetings, it is increasingly clear that the sports popularity (and costs) do not require the 'top' riders!!!!!!

Zaine won't be back over this season! Tate has been practicing with Davey Watt and others under Darcy's watchful eye and is coming over soon.

Correct.

So Pearson replaces Turner!!

Will Glasgow, Oxford and Redcar run on Mondays/Thursdays.............?

Atkins into the 1-5 from next week. Heeps to reserve!!

Not enough Pirate heat winners tonight and not the usual back up from the lower order. Cheetahs simply want it more and fair play to them. Oxford are built like Poole were last year with 3 strong heat leaders so we move on. Hope the person in the crowd requiring medical treatment is OK. .

There's your answer then!!

R/r is at 4.

Poole also lost Thomas but signed up Rowe straight away. And he's increased his average riding at 2.!!

He still has to ride and score well though!!

Yes, 'in the best interest of speedway'.

'Mon the Gladiators!!

Lets hope Batch has kept himself and his machinery upto scratch (hardly race-fit?!) to do the Biz for Brummies. As for next season surely Fridays would be the option, with doubts over Edinburgh and always the possibility that Glasgow might 'move up'!!
