The Poole Echo not biased at all then

I haven’t been on here for a long time but nice to know nothing has changed Ford and Shovlar give their totally unbiased assessment and all Is believed lol

I think that leaves us with 10.04 for 2 riders and if Paco is to start at reserve that means at least 1 is going to be over 4.93 So do we go for 2 5 pointers or 1 higher (Ellis please on 7.80) and 1 as a 2-3 pointer

Like you say you never know until you ask Remember Rosco enquiring about Emil whilst at Coventry and being as surprised as anyone else when he said yes

Think I'd take Thomsen over Castanga saves a point and was improving towards end of last season

James Shanes to Birmingham

With a points limit of 42.50 would this be ok Harris 8.70 Garrity 7.23 Nicholls 8.00 Morris 5.46 Shanes 5.31 Hume 3.27 Thomsen 4.00

Thanks

Couldn't see it anywhere, Must be soon I guess

Sorry if this is elsewhere but when is this years BSPA AGM ?

As a 2nd heat leader Bomber would be good but not as No. 1,(as at Ipswich/Somerset) so if they could get Ellis too ??? Not sure how that would stand with averages etc and believe he doesn't come cheap

According to my calculations and a points limit of 40 there is 3.08 to play with if Bacon fits definitely

Would like to see majority of finishing team back next year Ellis Thomsen Aarnio Morris Garrity Shanes A.N.Other All dependant on points limit rules etc

Scott Nicholls - David Rowe partnership ??

Scott Nicholls ??

I think Dudel "deserves" a pick as he has been unlucky with his injury Vaculik possibly but had plenty of rounds to make it into top 8 Personally I would ditch the picks and make it top 6 back next year and everyone else must qualify But then that would kill threads like this

Surely it will be down to the Greyhound people to sort their track out, Work could start on the speedway track Friday morning in theory, I seem to recall Birmingham built their track whilst greyhounds continued to operate The buildings however are a totally different matter Hope it all works out

Have to say stevebrum as someone who has "moved over" from Coventry the promotion do actually try

Didn't think it was too bad last night Six man format seemed to work OK until Garrity pulled out Personally I would ditch heats 13 & 14 so each rider gets 4 rides perhaps make No. 6 lowest average rider and designated reserve Not perfect I know but there are problems with 7 rider teams Crowd didn't seem too bad either

Last night just shows what a complete and utter joke our sport has become The Isle-Of-Wight, Kent Plymouth, Eastbourne & Belle Vue Heathens with a starting average of over 50 points Now I know why Nigel Pearson loves Poole so much !!!!!!

Any news on how Leon Flint go on in the European 250's

If Matt Ford doesn't have a problem with Newman riding then why do Poole fans?

Press Release - 30th November 2016 By Coventry Stox, Nov 30 2016 01:49PM Last night Mr Sandhu held late night talks with Councillor Stokes to broker a deal to protect his assets and to allow the Stock Cars and Speedway to continue at the stadium. A deal was reached for the next three years for the continuation of Speedway and Stock Cars after an intense night of negotiations. The deal was worked on overnight and it has been confirmed this morning that all parties are happy with the resulting agreement. Mr Sandhu has agreed to replace all the assets and reinstate the stadium fit to run next season at his cost. He has agreed to fund this because he loves speedway and stock racing with a deep wish to see it continue for the next three years and beyond at a new facility. He would have rather signed the agreement weeks ago but it was important that the partnership between Stox and speedway using the building continued as one would fail without the other so his actions were always to protect not just his assets but also both sports. The agreement would at this stage never happened without Councillor Michael Stokes who has gone beyond what ever could have been expected and has managed to keep both sides in dialogue rather than allowing it to fall apart publicly. We will continue to work closely with Councillor Stokes on finding, securing and eventually building a replacement facility as we are now on a clock for the eventual closure of the stadium. Our commitment to make this happen is undiminished and if anything it has made us as a group more determined to make it happen. Lastly we would like to say how pleased we are that the employees, contractors, and suppliers have a secure future for the next three years as many have worked on site for decades so this uncertainty has hurt them the most. Without these people we would find it impossible to run the stadium to the current high standards and they have proved that they too have gone beyond what could be expected which we will never forget. We welcome our renewed relationship with Councillor Stokes, Mick Horton and the Coventry Bees as an opportunity to grow stronger together and to tackle the future jointly.

According to the statement on the BSPA website there is no agreement to go back to Brandon Horton said: “We had to find a solution which enabled the club to survive whilst the negotiations continue to bring us back to Coventry. (Taken from BSPA website)

The first "home" meeting is Aril 7th To My reckoning that's 9 weeks away If work started now how long is it going to take to restore the "damage" surely 12 weeks should be enough Any later than the end of May and the alarm bells should start ringing
