Kurtz rightly excluded.

Kurtz to Leicester 2023.

Steve Worrall.

Neither Batch nor Hans would be considered. Too old and no improvement in them. King Ben Cook Lawson Zach Cook Abblit Hume a n other.

Yes of course.

Asked about this tonight. Glasgow have pulled out. Shouldn’t be allowed to imo but dates are Poole on the 26th and Leicester 29th.

Poole confirmed Championship next season but would consider Premier league in 2024 if the Tuesday/Thursday only nights were dropped.

Middlo’s 26th trophy and won at a canter to be honest. The cup was won at Redcar and tonight at the after meeting conference it was admitted that the team knew what needed to be done without taking too many risks. A few things to come out of the conference. Matt Ford got on the mic and said Poole would be riding Championship next year but would consider going Premier league as long as the Tuesday/Thursday only race nights are dropped. Poole, he stated were a Wednesday night team and would only ride on a Wednesday. He said every one of the 1-7 would sign for next season at the drop of a hat, but knew that cannot happen due to rule changes during the winter. Danny King pulled out of heat 13 due to his broken finger. It was giving him jip all meeting and they kept trying to strap it up in different ways but he said it was a struggle to ride the high wide line as it needs a lot of strength and he was suffering. No meeting until the final now so he can rest it and get it strapped properly. Drew Kemp was asked about his erratic form and admitted he has got a lot of improvement to make. As usual he won heat 14 but it’s earlier in the meeting we need him to score. Nathan said the going was too tough tonight and he couldn’t get out of the start. But he did well at Redcar and received a loud round of applause. Two coaches going to Leicester plus many by car. Should be a good Poole contingent on first bend.

A shame. I enjoy watching Charles Wright racing here. Result a foregone conclusion though.

No. You had a ringer at reserve with Shamek Pawlicki. No better than BV with Lambert.

So 12 points it is. Holder should have been in the heat.

Ellis? Surely Holder would be a better bet? Mistake from Stead.

If Wright hadn’t gone crazy and fallen it would have been 12 up going into heat 14. He would have won it and a 5-1 to BV in heat 15 would be 16 point lead. Instead due to his error the best BV can get is 12. All to race for. In truth BV have choked a bit with their 1-7 and home advantage.

Great team riding. Losing Wright a big blow. Won’t be worse than 12 now. Should be a good second leg.

Holder and Kurtz both let Poole down very badly at Ipswich three years ago in the playoff semi finals. Both went completely awol.

16 point lead us going to be insurmountable.

Way better than Fricke.

Great heat 11

No it wouldn’t no one should wish a rider injured.

Stupid from Charles Wright. No need.

You can stick a fork in it. It’s done.

This final is over already. Gap is just going to grow. Sheffield have no answer to BV top end.

Easy 5-1 coming up.

Wrong call Jack Holder was leading Wright.

This has got 55-35 all over it.
