old bob at herne bay Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Answering the original question..... Extremely disappointing. No news at all about the reopening of Swindon,Coventry, Wolverhampton, Arena Essex(Lakeside), Rye House. No news on wheher Eastbourne will be allowed to race at Iwade. Pretty much a year of the "status quo" with some statistical attendance gains around the online audiences. I guess in British Speedway terms that is a success rather than another club closing. Maybe that's the way forward, like the dog tracks that just run meetings for the online audiences ? The gimmick of Poole entering the premiership kockup will be a laugh, especially if, with their cherry picked gusts, they make it to the next rounds. Their "select" team will challenge the rule book on "cup tied" riders. The thought of "Poole" riders racing for the opposition in the kockup might lead to a conflict of interests. If Matt has a big enough chequebook he could win the kockup at the first attempt ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those were ever going to be entering that competition in 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory correct, Sheffield staged a testimonial for Shane Parker, who only rode one season for Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
