The report doesn't say 'Ford had a problem with it!' It had already been decided so any surprise/shock(?) was just the unexpected timing of Steve's announcement, bearing in mind the 2024 points limit still has to be 'rubber stamped' at the AGM. Danny Ford stating that Poole have to lose 7.5 points pretty much confirms 38 as the team building limit as long as club Promoters agree in Tenerife next month! Remember pre-2023 Promoters were working to a 42 point limit which was then reduced to 40 points to 'assist' certain clubs and 'penalise' others! (I'd love to know how the vote went? 5-4 to the 'weaker' clubs which then led to the 6-team play offs?? )

errm tell us again what Plymouth won? Assuming they run at all in 2024 Plymouth are one of those voting for the lowest team building points limit of (rumoured) 38 points Anyway Congrats to Scunthorpe on their Cup win and well done to the Poole track staff for managing to get the meeting on at all!

Not sure why some are saying its a 'shock'?!

With Kyle I guess it depends on when he has his NHS shoulder op and what the recovery time is likely to be?!

Had another brief downpour around 11.30, but bright again now (12.10). A fair bit of standing water around. Should be ok from around 2pm onwards.......(If you believe the forecasts)!

Had a heavy-ish downpour of about 20 minutes just before nine am. Currently quite bright and no rain.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Rew had signed for Leszno? Maybe just a squad member?

So no Brennan, Basso, Tarasenko, Vissing or Nowak in 2024. Big changes for most teams.

Which Cook?

Dan Thompson says in today's S.Star that he has his Championship place tied up for 2024! Whether that's for Poole, Plymouth or whoever.............?

Kyle is due to have an op on his shoulder this winter subject to NHS schedules! Dan Thompson had a few laps of the Wimborne Road track a couple of weeks ago after the meeting.

Ho ho ho. Such fun!

AGM 10/11 NOVEMBER

They might even be at 1 and 5??

Josh would ride on his Polish Licence so would probably come in as a second string on an assessed 5.00!!

TV money! Its not Brummies choice to go Premiership. They only have Mondays as their race day in 2024, so it has to be Premiership with the Phil Morris sweetener!

What? Like last year when 42 points was agreed then changed to 40 (to stop the 'stronger' clubs!)

Less 2.5%

The will to live at the moment!

I've heard both. 36 for the 1-6 plus a 2 pointer(R/S) and/or 38.

So what do I know? Saturday it is then! Only the Rugby World Cup semi final clashing time-wise!?

I can't see Saturday being an option with the difficulty of getting stadium staff - many of whom have other work on a Saturday, including at the Vitality?!

Not sure that'll be the case in 2024 with the rumoured points limit. There should be plenty of riders around and only a certain number of team/squad places available in Poland!
