Back on topic, can't really make a prediction until we know whose guesting for Kennett? Wouldnt 'Bomber' be the obvious choice? If so, I think Plymouth can win 48-42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to watch both at away meetings if u can get, seen Poole at Leicester & Oxford so far, both were very entertaining. The spread of heat leaders would also help club's like Newcastle & Birmingham who are on the end of most of the tonkings! There av been rules before where a team cud only av 2 riders over 8.50 or wotever the average was. If a club hasn't got the finance for a heat leader like Danny King then the BSPA should help finance the deal, it's their product as well which is on show. Never liked watching at Sheffield coz they used to batter teams! My first visit to the Pirate Ship should be against Berwick in May, Bomber likes Wimborne Road.

Not only big home wins at Poole, Ray. A lot of teams are built to win at home this season like Leicester and Berwick. Something Redcar want as well according to the podcast but everyone likes their track! Going to be more difficult than ever to get away wins this season.

That just show's that the rich get richer and poor get poorer no good for speedway as a whole ,still if it's true it that speedway may not run at Poole next season it won't affect us Edited April 29, 2022 by ray c 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Sadly I'd say most tracks in British speedway are under threat for various reasons of not running the following season. I don't live in Poole so I don't 'pick up' the local feeling but they av the council on their side so I'd remain confident of them running. Trusting a council tho is dangerous stuff as we Long Eaton fans found out when they turned their back on us at election time. That was the Labour party!

HGould Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 The rumour mill wasn't that it was going to close, more that the Owners weren't going to lease it out anymore, but bring it in house and appoint a speedway manager. Given the owners track record it would undoubtedly be very unpopular surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further on the Council and Stadia UK need to decide/announce what the long term plans are for the whole stadium site as well as for the whole of Poole town centre area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Rotten luck Plymouth losing Gilkes with a suspected broken arm. He has been excellent this season and I for one wish him a speedy recovery. Plymouth will certainly miss him on Tuesday and he will be irreplaceable. Get well soon. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
