I said in the past I remember Georgie Wood as an example being banned for not turning up for an IOW meeting. Others including Alcock.

Why not Brummies Connections with LR Certainly local to his base Midweek home meetings Track 100% better now than in 2021 season Whole vibe is positive. Heat Leader trio of Harris / Pickering / Sedgeman looks solid. A Gater and 2 great entertainers there!

Will Ablitt be banned? According to updates he was a late "no show" for BV Colts at Armadale tonight. Could get 7 days if withholding his services. Happened before that CL riders have had CL bans for missing NDL fixtures. Will be interesting what the reason given is. Based on updates would seem he was expected

That in a nutshell sums up ALL that is wrong with BSPL and British Speedway. Belle Vue bought him over, presumably made him an asset, invested in him, as dod local sponsors etc. He then sought to further his delelopment elsewhere outside the UK whilst remaining loyal to BV as an asset. IF BV want to bring him back then he should be on his perfectly correct and earned average. That's life, that's sport, that should be speedway. NOT factor it by a mystery number drawn up on the back of a Scunthorpe Rain Off Ticket to appease Bates and Louis or anyone else. The whole point of the asset system is to build talent isn't it? If it gives BV an advantage, so what, may be it will make a few others a bit less lazy and try to make things happen rather than moan when nothing good happens to them. This is what INDEPENDENT GOVERNANCE would bring. Fairness for ALL, and reward for enterprise.

Thats the most stupid comment I've read in ages. Go and do some research. Brennan rode Eastbourne all his career and until joining BV last season was crying out for big track experience and bike set up experience to ensure he continues to progress. His move to Glasgow merely aided that development. He's probably the best technical small track rider in Britain, certainly he needs more European track experience but small tracks you're having a laugh.

What about riders like Berge / Lidsey who could be on very appealing averages?

We're in to the nitty gritty of the season now and one aspect of Team Building starts to show through. It's an aspect that Poole + Leicester (to a slightly lesser degree) have in common. Look at the Poole team, 3 heat leaders whose career bread and butter has been UK speedway. No pretentions (especially at this stage of their career) of doing anything else than to get in to play offs and elongating their income drawing periods for another season. Two Aussies who t the best of my knowledge don't ride any where else. Ablitt trying to transitions up and only one with any pretentions of cracking Europe, and surprise surprise, he's the weakest link. Leicester and not dis-similar certainly the other Worrall, Howarth, Thompsons and Mountain. Comments a few times lately about Brennan and his attitude. Is he trying to run before he can walk, Undoubtedly the lads got ability, bags of it but s his head being turned by the bright lights of Poland and Europe. You can have all the ability in the world but if your attitude sucks, its a slippery slope. Obviously he and Basso want to do well in SGP2 and U23 Team Events but Glasgow pay their wages and I'd make the point that unlike a far more focussed Poole team last night, did Brennan and Basso actually put in 100% like at least 6 of the Poole team did? That's the difference at the business end! of the season.

Shovlar comes out to a double A side Danny Garçon mix... My Camera Never Lies / Hangin on the Telephone

Never known a club whose supporters are so obsessed with rain and have such glee in discussing it. (acknowledgement of plaigirisation. Mr Marko)

I think Kemp will end up as a moderate current CL level second string at best. Can't see any progress, think he's hit a ceiling. Most of his problems are in his head. Nothing to do with Poole. Indeed if he can't progress there where can he?

Broc has got a problem in the shoulder area that's always going to present issues. Due to previous injuries and wear and tear. Will never be 100% but it's manageable. Cold damp autumn weather and deeper tracks certainly won't help it. BWD is another rider with similar long term shoulder issues. His from memory is more in the shoulder blade area.

If RS continues is his only hope, on merit, a few others have now gone past him in the pecking order.

hook the stalker time.

I wonder if it might be time for a bit if a reboot. More riders may see Wolves as an option over Sweden as things decline there and Morris may be past his sell by date. Might be worth looking at the better Danes coming through the ranks as wolves historically tapped that market well. Kemp has been a massive disappointment in PL and CL and will need to be careful he isn't the new Bickley, back to NDL as main league. Flint is worth progressing with. I wonder if they have rising star scheme again they might be able to entice Gilkes or Edwards. Certainly not any worse than Kemp.

If he hadn't wet his pants at a soft spot at Plymouth 4 weeks ago they'd have at least one less thing to worry about.

There is a precedent. 2017 NDL Play off final 13 heats at Eastbourne result stood after fog 15 heats at Belle Vue. Belle Vue won on aggregate had 2 more home races.

Like all of those conned in to travelling to Poole the other week when Danny garçon called it off 45 mins before start time.

Matt's singing him the French version of le Danny garçon... Its getting close to his bedtime

Indeed lol

Danny forgot he's not at Poole where the refs do what they are told. Have to excuse him he gets altitude sickness when he gets past Oxford

Love to see someone give him a lovely Glasgow kiss to send him on his way

Can't buy off every referee then.

Pro rata that at 1 point per heat advantage to Glasgow. Thay take a 15 point lead to Poole Fairest way no one can complain at that

Enjoyable for the neutral so far. Brennan becoming a bit of a diva re damp tracks though. Nichol really has disappointed last 2 seasons. I was told though he has a degenerative problem in neck/shoulder area that is painful and not helping him.

Our season has finished Got to stay occupied Poole baiting is so easy Trolls can't stop biting
