All the best to everyone at Birmingham and I hope the consortium are successful in keeping the Brummies on track.

Hope every thing comes together at Northside as I've enjoyed many a trip up to Workington and made some friends with fans from there on the trip to Bydgoszcz in 2000 to see Mark Loram crowned World Champion.

For some it's not always about how much money they ride for it's also about track time. And next season Sweden, as reported in the Star, won't be able to afford to av the line ups of star riders that they've previously had in teams. Hence some of them could seek to ride in the UK next season like Doyle.

Sure it's not Courtney Love? .

Possibly was due to covid but if clubs av lost a fortune they may not be able to operate at the same level for the foreseeable future. Speedway Star painted a pretty grim picture of Swedish speedway. Elitserien winners Dackarna cud only attract 989 to the home leg of the Grand Final with a top 5 of Woffinden, Doyle, Janowski, Thorssell & Jensen. No wonder the money isn't there, is that partly why Doyle left? Dunno, I'm going by what was reported.

Was thinking of going but was too soon after lifting of covid restrictions if I remember rightly. But great to hear that it was a cracking meeting, Let's hope it won't be too long before Kent get back on track as I'll be visiting even if they're in a different league to Poole.

I hope Kent, or any other club come to that, isn't lost to the sport. I haven't actually been to Central Park but was looking forward to visiting asap as it looks like a fantastic venue. Wish everyone at Kent all the best in keeping the club alive as I only know too well what it's like to lose your local track as I live in Long Eaton.

Maybe the BSPA are paying more attention to due diligence and want to see Oxford build up a solid foundation and reputation with the new management/promotion before allowing them into the Premiership. It's all to easy to allow 'someone' in to save a club, a league etc without a view to a long term existence which the BSPA, imo, have done so many times in the past only for it all to go poop. Ian Jordan & BMR are just 2 examples of many before. Jason Doyle, great to hear that he's coming back to race in the UK and it would be great to see many more of his ilk come back to ride here especially given the financial problems that Swedish speedway is facing with very low crowds as reported in the speedway star a couple of weeks ago. Shocking to see the attendance figures in Sweden & the league structure struggling, I hope things can pick back up over there because in Rickardsson's day it was thriving.

Is that why you call yourself 'spin' king?

Mine was the edited version not war & peace!

Wots ur suggestion then clever d*ck? It's so easy for someone to pull someone else's suggestion apart like a Mr Einstein when they haven't got a constructive plan of their own to suggest. And anyway, my suggestion is far better than some of the hair brained ideas that actually get put into place by the powers that be. Crikey, did an apple hit u on the bonce! Can we av Einstein's law of relatively please, wot goes up must come down.....oh of course that doesn't happen in British Speedway!

Be fantastic to av Ellis back on board the Ship. He'll be on a false average as well given his Scunny performances, plus British reduction.

And I get in as disabled which is £3 off. Not many clubs do a disabled scheme unless they keep it quiet like Leicester do. At Leicester the carer is free for a disabled person with the disabled person paying adult price but no where is this mentioned in their admissions. Don't know why.

Lions 2019 Championship Shield Winners Championship League Winners Pirates 2021 Championship KO Cup Winners Championship League Winners I regularly attend both tracks, as well others, with Leicester being my nearest and I support Poole. The amount of success that both club's av achieved with both doing the double, either side of lockdown, is a remarkable achievement. In fact Lions cud've done the treble if it wasn't for avin to track an under strength side at Eastbourne in the KO Cup. I'd like to wish all at both clubs continued success, but don't mention the Scottish club! .....was a fine ride by Ellis Perks!

Nah, I go private!

Sweet Poole Pirates da da daaaa good times never seemed so good so good so good! You can't beat a bit of DOUBLE DIAMOND!

Ford said "Ok we dropped down a league, so wot coz like the riders we also Doubled Up" !

Middlo to his troops shouts, "At the Double, quick march!"

Pirate walks in to a Scottish bar....'Mine's a Double please!' 

Pirate walks in to a Scottish bar....'Mine's a Double please!'

Wonder when Wilbur Hancock will be coming over to at least get sum 2nd half rides in. Hope Greg recommends his lad to ride for us in the future. Also, I'd like to see Ellis Perks come back to ride if not for the Pirates then for someone else because he's a tremendous talent. And wotever happened to Josh Auty after Scunny sacked him?

The Premiership certainly does need more teams but in turn that will water the top division down even more (if possible) unless sum GP boys come over or ex GP boys come back. Doyle, Zagar and Chris Holder for example.

Heyyyy up, hands off Humey boy!

Doyle? Why are Lion's going Premiership? And have they paid him all the money they owed him. When he left Leicester he was well peed off with the way he was being treated & Hemsley still looms large in the background. Crikey do I remember Doyley's last interview after the last meeting he rode in for Leicester, ouch!

Wud be a great move if possible with averages etc. The only question to answer wud be cud Middlo fit another Aussie into his house!
