even if he wanted to, but doubt he will want a uk return this season, i bet leicester will be telling him to stay away anyway

All clubs should look at different ways to increase their profits. Maybe Poole is more expensive to run than some other clubs so it needs the extra gate money to sustain the business.

Having me flat white in me local Costa before journey down to the speedway mecca!........(wait for it! 😀) Comfortable home win for we Pirates as the predictor reads 56-34 C'mon the Boyzzz

I thought u took a fall at Plymouth going round the 2nd bend carrying all the beers! 😆

They could bring in the greasy pole. Anyone who wants to argue with the referee, has to climb up it, to get to the refs box.

Leon Flint was announced as the guest for Oxford meeting on Friday night when we were at home to Glasgow.

Another Gater on a fast bike !

And the Panthers had 4 riders with an average over 7, along with Scotty 6.71 and Bjarne 6.33 Only Bewley and Holder could be classed as big hitters that year...

So how much are super-heats being used in Phil Morris's new social media marketing? How many "views" are they attracting? And if they are attracting zillions of views, what difference is that making to the current and future viability of team speedway in the UK?

Dad's army was in the first year back after covid wasn't it when there weren't really any "stars" in the league, that makeup of team may have worked then (as it did), can't see it doing so again while the superstars are all at 4 clubs.

That's not the worst idea. Would mean equal points handed out for each "pair of fixtures" (if also getting rid of the superheat for draws). Or even award the aggregate point(s) over all 4 league fixtures?

I don't know if I'd consider it unfair as they didn't win on aggregate.

No doubt with good reason,

I think Darryl has already shown he's better than a 2 point rider, but obviously no harm in reminding promoters of that. But that's also the main reason he didn't get a new club, he no longer has a 2.00 average. Riding exactly 6 matches for Poole then getting replaced was the worst thing that could've happened to him, rode himself out of a team spot.

Porky has always commented on the last lap of the final race. He likes to give it some drama. He is one of the best in the business.

Yea but them in charge of speedway took 2 points off us

The last crowd at Poole was reported to be well over 2000, if true the extra money made should go towards the cost of replacing the air fence, where other/most clubs get a lot less than 1000 people, then these clubs look at various fund raising options

According to quite a few. I've regularly had to research the oppositions websites to see what the Redcar team lineup is before meetings as the Redcar media releases have been so slow.

I pretty much agree with that although Peterborough did do ok with the dads army side. I’d say teams with top end power are nailed on for the top 4.

The extra race is all well and good but the extra point isn't......

That would be similar to the extra point for the draw but in reverse - equally unfair!

Hopefully he'll be fit enough to ride in GB as well as in Poland. Sadly the attitude of some riders have made me suspicious.

Every team should aspire to make the playoffs.

What's funny about that? Why shouldn't clubs look for multiple way to pay their expenses? Dar better than just adding an extra quid or two onto entrance fees each season!
