I've been saying for years the material used on tracks today causes so many problems. Very short sighted if the promoters could have sorted the problem. We need a promoters association.

Can't agree the Poole masterplan for 2025 success was build an average side with only 1 or 2 likely "improvers" & then wait for the debut of the wonderkid to transform your results. So no pressure there then!

Have the wheels finally come off the Poole roller coaster? What would happen if Will Cairns has a change of mind/circumstance & a wish to ride for a different Championship club. I beleave the pressure Poole have placed on the young lad is emense - dispite whatever some might say. Enjoy your 2025 season whatever the final outcome.

Forgot Kyle Newman, whats his official average?

Has the Speedway Star ever done a (honest) few pages on Clarke Osbourne's speedway track record. That would make very interesting reading.

Two names not mentioned how about: 1. Henry Atkins! a bit marmite with most Plymouth fans. 2. Zac Wajtknecht he has the talent has he got desire for speedway.

Clarke Osborne was a Director of a company that acquired the old ground of Bristol Rovers, Eastville. The club were evicted and Osborne made a sizeable profit from the sale of the stadium for development. He then bought Torquay Unitd and put a lot of effort into persuading the local council into selling him Plainmoor. You can make a good guess as to what would have happened next. The Council have not played ball so it looks like Osbourne has given up. As Torbay Council own the ground a phoenix club maybe possible but they may just sell it for housing if Torquay go bust. Grim times to be a Torquay fan especially as they looked nailed on to return to the League a few years ago. However, Osborne was loading debt on to the club and losing over a million a season in the process. The gamble failed and they have been heading for bankruptcy ever since. Such a lovely man!

I thought 24 year old Clarke Osbourne was the office boy @ Bristol in 1977? May be he would also like to tell us how he "took control" of Torquay United F.C. & was so successful! I think it's fare to say Mr Osbourne sees 95% of us as gullible fools.

Clarke Osborne Clarke is Chairman of Gaming International the owners of the Swindon Stadium at Abbeymeads. Not known by many, Clarke has a long history in Speedway and motorsport, including the creation and operation of the most successful Speedway venue of the modern era in Bristol. Clarke has been actively involved in the promotion of speedway in Oxford. Poole, Swindon, Reading, White City and Wembley. He has completed in Hot Rod racing, Karting and Stage Rallying.

Sorry it was "TRIGGER - he PULLED the fastest milk cart in the west"

Has Ben Trigger been named as the Gladiators number 7 yet? From the words of Benny Hill - " TRIGGER - he drove the fastest milk cart in the west" Sorry that very few under 50s will know who Benny Hill was or the song! Can we have this song on the P.A. if Ben does sign a bit like the P-irates up the road.

Good job he is not coming in as an elite league heat leader then!

Plymouth should only use Ben it his average mean he "just fits" the number 7 slot. That way it would be good for the Gladiatrors & team Trigger.

Maybe he wants the same "deal" as the Cookie Monster?
