Great news for next year, no doubt. But as far as getting land for a new venue etc is concerned... heard it all before I'm afraid.

I wonder why Middlo booked his holidays for this week... did he think Poole were going to finish top 2, or not make the play offs at all

Yes, I got that from the statement... I was wondering what those reasons were?

I think Shovvy is judging other Clubs by the actions his own would take in a heartbeat

What's the objection to NDL does anybody know? I thought the last NDL operation was quite successful wasn't it?

Ed Kennett to return to Eastie as No 1 (R/R)?

By the BSPL choosing though it meant that they didn't have to run with people making their own minds up to stay away... a bit like they do with calling matches off due to weather

That was your personal decision... as was mine to continue working the next day after my dad passed away, to focus my mind. The issue when a public figure dies, world figure and head of state is, as proved on here, different people have different opinions. Maybe the BSPL were a bit previous announcing the postponement of all weekend matches, especially when a few hours later the "official" line was that sports governing bodies should make their own decisions. At the end of the day with 7 weeks of the Speedway season left, hopefully, it shouldn't really make too much of a difference.

How about a move to Northside? Though didn't work well for Glasgow in the 80's!

Duke of York cup anyone?

Has Woffinden got something wrong with his balance? He doesn't seem to be able to stand up without leaning on something... Eileen Woffinden!

I don't get what people's problem is with capacity at the NSS? What is the capacity at Vojens? Prague? Malilla? Torun? Gorzow? Wroclaw? Yes the NSS ain't Cardiff but neither are any of the others I have listed. I would say the NSS (with it's temporary stand) compares perfectly with those others

I used to go to those, the New Year Classics... was cold, but never as cold as I used to be at Swindon! I think Sheffield tried to put a meeting on also but was weathered off

They like fun... as long as we pay for them to have it with OUR taxes. They just think we're plebs

I was actually joking... It's what the government want you to do. I should have perhaps used an emoji

Can you all take your comments about the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II to this thread: Please do not contaminate this thread with your bickering, and leave this thread to the Leicester vs Poole match for whenever it takes place. Thanks

Shut up, go to work and pay your taxes!

As far as I remember Ward was banned for a full year from August to August (ish)

Mugs Lane?

Oh no, please god, not again!

On no, please god, not again!

Gutted at hearing this news, I was under the impression this was signed and sealed the way they were talking earlier in the year... seems about as watertight as Birmingham's "verbal" agreement they have with their landlords for next year!

That's good for British (world) Speedway as it's the start of the decline of Polish Speedway. Soon their fans will realise they're starting to be mugged off

Don't really care tbh, it's a sporting integrity issue

I've not been following this too closely, but correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the landlords build a new track which was used for a while before Covid hit, then it was the promotion that elected not to run in 2021 & 2022. Is there something other than the promotion not electing to run stopping Speedway from running in Swindon?
