Viv Muddle has just turned 16, so he'll be looking to join the other teenage Aussie prospects here, or in Europe like Beau Bailey Has he got UK partiality -- l don't think he's got a State Title qualification for a visa?

Very few challenge meetings take place these days Steve, think it's down to the clubs trying to make or not lose too much money on league meetings, where challenge meetings will probably lose money. Unless it's Glasgow V Edinburgh several times a year

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002t1sq Ooh, that is the closest i've heard them say about moving up to the Prem in the media. Interesting! Only 2 things needed: Good tv deal Weds nights. Not asking for much! Apparently we would have both Cook's and both Holder's.

That's ok - they will be in the same league as at least one Nottinghamshire team next season, possibly two if County come up to join us. 😉

Thats actually quite a refreshing way of thinking about it tbf, just a bit tricky in some ways cause the racing at Poole is rubbish haha

I always find that if you have very low expectations when attending UK Speedway, then you, more often than not, won't be too disappointed....

Ditto,but if a couple of decent riders are missing I just give it a miss nowadays.No longer a diehard.

Fair enough thanks for the honest answer 👍

Wouldn't give a monkeys.... When I go to UK league Speedway, I just go to watch the racing, and dont let the Mickey Mouse way the sport is ran get in the way of what can be a decent night out.

Yes but has been doing grasstrack, looked ok Sunday

Had to tell so early on, but can us getting a hiding on Saturday

Sums up UK Speedway doesnt it? Teams are fully allowed to sign riders knowing they will miss meetings, (invariably away meetings), but, if they plan their fixture list well, they can actually improve their team by bringing in a track specialist ringer... Can't believe that more people don't take this sport more seriously...

I get that but just want 7 blokes there week in week out barring injury or illness Just out of interest if a Polish fixture got rearranged the same night as a Belle vue match would you be happy if Zach was forced to miss it?

Probably makes them stronger cook isn't very good around plymouth

Yes 600 miles it's 42 mile each way from my house to the motorway at Penrith 😧 but was a bit easier back in the day as nowhere near as much traffic on the roads

The Poole promotion were quoted as saying, when they signed him, that they knew he would miss some meetings at weekends but would do their best to work around it to minimise it.. Given he already had a Polish contract, Poole are secondary in priority... The Aces ride Monday and Thursday so shouldn't clash... Poole didn't have to sign him, knowing he would 100% miss meetings... No one held a gun to their head..

Plymouth v Poole Saturday

Seen a video clip of cookie looking very fast and smooth, even got the Dan bewley line off the fence coming into turn 3 😀

What meeting is he going to miss

No one is holding a gun to his head!, if he missed Belle vue meetings you'd be happy with that?

Why is it his fault?

And in news that will shock absolutely no one! The first rider missing due to Polish commitments of the season goes to Zach Cook! Piss off and stay there!

Cookie, Viv Muddle and latterly Vinnie practising this morning and into the afternoon. Craig looked very comfortable.

It'll soon be Market Harborough Town

Why has the Border Trophy not been competed for in the last 2 seasons ? . I did hear it was because Berwick refused to participate but have not had that confirmed.
