Poole can't use Ablitt at reserve 'cos they've lent him to Panthers for the night!!  Its 'only' a Challenge meeting for Bjarne's benefit so anything can be agreed between the 2 clubs.

So only 4 weeks to go to P&P day on 25th March plus a quiznight and auction in aid of Riders Equipment Fund (R.E.F.) in the evening.

R.E.F. is a strange concept. You have professional speedway riders being given money to buy the tools of their trade with the money coming from fans through such event as an auction. Would there be an auction to raise money if you were a professional carpenter and broke your saw. I know all the arguments about rider's costs but that's another issue and I know R.E.F. is long established and perhaps harks back to the days when the riders were semi-pro...I also felt the same about spontaneous collections if a rider was fined by the ref.

It's personal choice though......if people don't want contribute then don't. Same as when Bomber did GoFundMe the other year and people whinged. For those that do then it's all good.

Didn't know about Harris and his GoFunder and I understand your point about it being personal choice. However, the fact that the fans are being asked to help pay for a rider's tools for the job says a lot about Speedway and its standing – just about rock bottom. It's too expensive for the riders and too expensive, in general terms, for the fans. Maybe not £10 admission but not much more....and £3 for programmes. Economics of the madhouse.

The Poole REF raise money to give riders assistance when they get injured, crash or have damage to machinery.
