Injured leg in practice. Although Brummies site says he intends to be at p&p days.

Danny Ford reckons he has promised to be at Poole p&p on 27th! After all it is his testimonial season!!

I gather PP will be there despite today's news.

Damaged a leg muscle apparently.

See the Swindon Stadium thread for the latest! BSPL have taken back the Promotional licence from Terry Russell.

I.m sure Lamberts will!!!

I think Plymouth are hopeful that Covatti will recover sufficiently to race at some point in the season, so expect a temporary (5.50/6.50?) signing for a month or so meaning Barker will start at 1.

It was a question originally!

Seriously, I thought they had to be submitted to BSPL to be ratified, with riders. averages confirmed before any fixtures take place, ie 1st March.. At the moment each club has only made 'team announcements'!

I guess (from the poster who asked the question) that it may affect Adam Ellis at least?!

Correct. I guess it'll boil down to which meeting is seen to be more important in the eyes of riders?

Don't all teams have to submit their full 1-7 by 1st March?!

Ben Barker?

3 Speedway Premiership clubs got a mention in a question on University Challenge concerning 'East of England clubs in towns/cities'!! Despite the blank looks of the team they managed to correctly guess Peterborough (Panthers) and Ipswich (Witches} from the clues provided but failed with the Stars (kings Lynn).

According to the SS this week, Eddie Kennett is still a possibility!! He was at the Eastbourne social last weekend with Kyle Newman and confirmed he has not retired and is 'just waiting for the phone to ring'!!! (Stands back and awaits further comment....)

I agree about the logic - but which clubs have planning permission issues?

I'm not the author of the whisper! It was shared to me just after the Kyle Newman postponement was announced, so not sure if its accurate nor what the ramifications might be?!!! NB. Richard Lawson's Testimonial is scheduled for Sunday 1st September!!

Theres a whisper that all future testimonials will have to be held on Sundays!!!

'Postponed'! New date to be announced!

Kyle has announced a change of date for his Testimonial at Wimborne Road, Poole. Although still in various fixture lists as Weds 20th March, he advises that due to a clash with a Premiership press call that day, it is now one week earlier on WEDS 13TH MARCH 2024. More details to follow.

Much of the TV critique of the first episode in National media was negative about the contestants - although a couple mentioned Mr Bowen as a 'strong outsider'!?

More details about Poole's new Dane - Tobias Thomsen - and his more recent racing in this week's double page spread in the Speedway Star.

Olly Holt has been very supportive throughout with little snippets of support for SOS appearing quite regularly! Today's almost full page in the D.Mail is a great read!

With all the track changes/improvements being made at Plymouth, they will improve the away team's chances as much as the home team - especially in the early weeks of the season.

Agreed! (liked)!
