I doubt if any Poole Fans know anything about it.

I am aware of Aug 30th which is provisional and not confirmed or announced by Poole.

May 13th is not a Friday! And their final Championship meeting before any play offs etc is 16th August v Redcar.

Richie Worrall is in the first Euro qualifier on Tuesday!!! Steve Worrall is in the 2nd Euro qualifier on Saturday.

I imagine Scotty will be on Eurosport duty on 13th as its the Warsaw GP! Also I guess it depends on what CMA's are to be used for the Lions 1-7?

Tfft!

At the moment no fixtures in Poole's list after the final league meeting on16th August. Plus a couple of spare Wednesdays in June atm.

You are correct- they were!!

Maybe they want to keep the points money amongst their own riders?

Poole use r/r for Rowe. Plymouth use r/r for Richie Worrall who is away on Euro qualifier.

Hope he's ok but if not, Ben, Zach, Kyle and Adam can take r/r rides!!

Poole also have an 'unofficial' fan page on Facebook on which all Poole official stuff is shared. As well as Piratecast - the fan video/podcast - very active on twitter, insta, tiktok and fb. Plus of course all the regular stuff on local radio and newspapers online.

No change there then!! Rolling rolling rolling. Rawhide.

Meeting sponsors Shale Events are offering any Poole fan who brings a copy of Wednesdays matchday programme a £5 discount on entry!! If the name rings a bell, Shale Events is the 'company' behind the 'Weston Rebels'!!!

Correct!

I did hear from a very reliable source that the attendance was very poor - less than 500!! Maybe its the psychological £20 barrier?

Meanwhile, Brother Steve was disappointed Poole didn't hit 60+! Can't see Poole doing that at the Coliseum on Tuesday though! Maybe 46 points will have to do?!

As evidenced by the wide range of opinions on forums such as this, speedway fans can have very different views on what they want their speedway to be. Some want close racing with loads of 3-3s, some want loads of passing no matter who wins, some want as many 5-1s for their own team, some want 4-2, 2-4,4-2 as long as their team doesn't lose. Some want to see 'top' riders in winning teams, some want teams of equal strength. All options can be exciting for some and boring for others.

I assume the car park - as with the whole stadium - is owned by the Council, so whoever takes the money (cash or app) surely hands it over to the Council less their agreed 'commission'. As I say last night the guys and gals taking the cash were the same ones as in past seasons....!

The stadium parking app is Just Park or you can pay cash on entry. The people taking the cash are the same as in recent seasons.

This is Championship section mate. BV and Tigers can get used to it next season in the 'one league' set-up!!

Just for the record it rained briefly earlier in the day. The water bowser and track grader were on track at 6.30pm. 'Terry the track' has been doing an excellent job with the track prep for the past season and a half or so. It was just extra slick last night and the Glads simple weren't gating until it was too late. It's a shame that the next home meeting is against...........Plymouth!!

Race day update: Slight rain shower first thing this morning, now bright and breezy with sunshine forecast later. For anybody travelling from the East/North, please avoid the major road closures around the Tower Park routes! Even the alternatives are beset with other roadworks so leave extra travelling time!!

For Oxford to 'move up', would they have an issue with moving away from their Wednesday race night? Similarly Poole!

I don't see any point in comparing one-off PCMM or FIM meetings with weekly league or cup speedway. It's different gravy and requires different approaches which will vary depending on the various locations and catchment areas.
