Laguta uses Kowalski Racing and he is fast as anybody.

I know this might seem a daft question but is any local radio station doing a live commentary of the meeting. It has happened in the past with other final meetings but I suspect that old technology has been superseded by pay to view. Shame really when many a local stations still cover football live.

There's some really nice houses on one road in the village I keep looking out for speedway bikes and a huge motorhome but haven't seen anything to give any clues to JD Towers.

Year: 1962 Reason: Financial issues, compounded by the loss of new signing Olle Nygren to ill-health and the fatal crash of rider Jack Unstead early in the season

Yep I've heard Poringland too.

When was that. I’ve been going for 41 years and can’t recall that.

I bumped into Nicki Pedersen once. He was bloody furious and made it clear that I should have left him more room😟. Pot…Kettle eh!

but hasn’t been since 2017!

Looking at the gossip on this thread, next years team looks like Kurtz Blodorn? Brennan Lidsey Bewley Zischke? Cairns I know Richard likes what we do, but this is a tad too far imo. 🤣

It’s a shame the south stand never got finished which keeps the capacity low. It’s even more of a shame that when the owns took issue with the situation, the cartel seized the opportunity to oust them rather than back them.

Maybe do some research yourself, paying particular attention to the year you closed down mid season.

Lawson always welcomed at Poole. On his average he’d be one of the first names on the team. But the 1 over 8 rule may scupper that

Good friends with Hagon too!

He’s just become Longtrack world champion again. Let’s hope the health issues are behind him. I’d be happy to take the punt.

I’m sure Victor will have lots of options. I just hope that one of them would be Edinburgh and he’d fancy coming back.

But it isn't a statement of fact. And that is the issue .. No "factual" evidence has been seen or published, therefore the SCB shouldn't have come out saying that the rules were breached as, clearly so far, there is zero evidence to prove that "fact"... The ref made his decision based on the (inconclusive) evidence that showed that Cook "could" have ridden the white line and not crossed it.. Using the evidence available to him, he made the only decision he could, and should have... The SCB statement is, apart from how poorly written it is, quite baffling, and subjective, so not factual, and leaves both Pooles' victory, and the ref hanging out to dry somewhat...

Thanks for that. We are getting somewhere! We both agree that the statement is poorly written (and wasn't well proof read before its initial issue). I have read the regulation a number of times. As the regulations don't include the words 'wholly' or 'completely', or indeed any other similar words, then any interpretation is just that - an interpretation. The relevant regulations also do not include the word 'tyre' (the only part which is contact with the track) nor say which part of the wheel has to cross the inner edge to constitute a disqualification (given that no part of the wheel is in touch with the track or inner edge. As you say - read ONLY the words in the original rule (regulation). The SCB could end this at a stroke, by giving more information and evidence on how it reached its decision. I'll bet the relevant regulations are amended for next season

another one - ffs.

I haven't mention anything about detail. To be honest, the statement is pretty poorly written and could offered more explanation. The original wording even got inadmissible and admissible confused. But having come from the SCB, it is still means it is a 'statement of fact'. The rule was breached, end of, if the SCB say that it was. But the SCB statement does say something and I think you've missed it: "Having reviewed the regulation as written, this has been breached". Then read rule 012.1.11 and see what the rule does and doesn't say. And don't add in words such as "wholly" or "completely" when you read it. Read ONLY the words in the original rule and see what is written there. And then you'll see from the wording of the rule why it was breached.

Double post - ignore.

If not will it be Rabbit/replacement.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see: Bewley Thomson Harris Masters Lidsey McDiarmid Harrison

No because because both riders are banned by the FIM. The FIM reaffirmed and extended the ban during its Board of Directors meeting in February 2026, keeping it in place across all FIM World Championships with no end date set

Also the streams seem to be selling well, saves me a drive from worky 😄

Luke Becker stays with Esbjerg in 2027.
