I think the whole team did as you mentioned

I am not a Poole fan but I am fed up of the jealousy on here. Poole look after riders well, but they do not pay /package close to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Plymouth. They offer more matches, a winning mentality and pay very quickly. Matt works on his team well in advance of others and he has no shortage of riders wanting to ride there, equally they have riders who know they can earn more per point elsewhere.

Don't worry, I'll cover for you. Friday works for me, I work on Wednesday nights so this will be my first meeting of the season. I'm up for a bit of glory hunting 😁 The wife is away for the weekend so Speedway on Friday, Hamworthy-Utd on Saturday & AFCB on Sunday... Sorted 👍

I believe Neil Leeks of Mildenhall also had Tassels. I believe the whole team did at that time. Bob Coles, Robert Henry, Melvyn Taylor etc

Whenever I’ve seen him he seems a fast starter. Perhaps had clutch issues when you have seen him

If it is Poole he will be on a winner as he is a fast gater and certainly not scared to mix it

2 leagues for 2026 with the Premeirship Wednesday & Thursdays, the main reasons cut down on traveling & cost. Championship Friday & Saturdays, the main reason allow riders to work alongside their speedway commitments. Tighter rules to stop riders missing their UK fixtures and less double up/down. Any third division on Sundays. Fact is real changes are required.

When was the last time he completed four laps and finished last? This can be costly if another rider then pulls up when the score is tight. As I have said before, I’m surprised Dickson tolerates this. Out of respect for the paying public, riders should be completing four laps unless there is a genuine mechanical failure.

Looks a good prospect.Lets see what happens when he is up against 3 seasoned campaigners in a race.Will Cairns is very stylish and has great bike control skills but admits he still has a lot too learn when he doesn’t gate. Wish them both well though and that they have a good career.World Class at 16 there have been few.Think we are getting bit carried away with the young Brits though when you look at the big picture.

Local Essex boy would have been great at Arena but we cannot beat Google at the moment! Poole will offer him the most dosh so he will go there.

Under current rules Jenkins would get the 25% reduction for exiting the rising star scheme. Could change at the AGM of course. If it doesn’t, makes sense to use that to our advantage and have him at 6, leaving more scope for the top five.

He just never turned up🤔

Correct BluPanther, it won't be 36, sadly silly season is upon us, but the 36 limit is certainly not happening. When it comes to the Witches, i would imagine, Doyle,Brennan and Rew will be in there somewhere, not sure what Danny will do, i would also imagine there is a chance of Jordan Jenkins at 6 with Edwards as the R/S and Dan T could find himself at the NSS. That's not me starting any rumour, that's what i think could happen.

Also Fishing and Golf

Anyway back to team building for Plymouth…..

People drop the championship because the nights and weekends they are run on whereas Poland and other leagues are better to ride in than the championship. If you gave the top championship riders the choice to drop one, what would they drop? They certainly wouldn’t financially be able to ride in the championship alone.

Matt ford said it not me. The top tier need the second tier to try and then justify why they are "different" and the "highest level" and more expensive to watch... The second tier need the top tier as those who double up can then afford to ride for them for 2nd tier money... The likes of Poole and Glasgow could be seen as being happy to be "big fishes in a small pond"..

Go on lbw. When you win the treble you and Shovvy should hold the cup as the famous Poole duo! It would be great for Poole to have a one off champions challenge v Ipswich. Would you go to Wimborne Road for that Gavan?

Ho ho ho keep supping your beer Lewy.

Yes but one-offs not every week in a league!!

I was thinking earlier who was the originator of the tassle. I remember Ray Bales wearing them, not sure if the whole Mildenhall team did?

Had to make do with a cappuccino where I'm staying, flat white not tasting so good 🫢

Their big boxing shows are often outdoors

No. We want Dan and Brady back and to have them we will need a 3 pointer. So no better than Tate who’s had a years experience now
