Dickie Head

Jack Smith reported by Mildenhall Facebook as taking a guest booking at West Row on Sunday.

Confirm no tacticals in two legged event. £4 would be the approximate cost of one meeting using the BSN season pass.

Don’t forget Sam Masters in Polish League 2 Final on Saturday afternoon.

Kyle Howarth was down to ride last Wednesday. Can’t see any reason why it would change. Biggest problem for Poole is the awful weather forecast.

Unless Birmingham have booked him already.

BSN coverage excellent as usual, but please pay more attention to the scorecard. Tonight Nick Morris is supposedly riding at 1 for the Brummies!

My prediction of a banana skin well off beam with Charles Wright missing. Enjoyable meeting. Track good. Plenty of passing and close racing. Good to hear the fallers are ok. Fantastic to see and hear Darcy during the meeting and afterwards in the press conference room where the presenter (Rob?) gave him the freedom to open up and talk about his current European visit, his current relationship with Chris Holder, his Speedway involvement in Oz and his views on the Cook brothers. Fascinating stuff.

It was very interesting to see Joe’s dad offering the meeting sponsors an opportunity to sit on Joe’s bike for photos, even moving it out of the pit bay to make it easier for snaps. Then joining the recovery team for Kyle Newman’s bike after the heat 10 crash and finally having what looked like a serious chat with Matt Ford towards the end of the meeting. All coincidences of course.

This is a potential banana skin for Poole. Over confident after a super heat away win at Redcar. Bears on a good run which is likely to be extended at Plymouth on Tuesday evening. Worrall’s focus now elsewhere. Thompson an unknown at number 7. An away win wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.

It’s a known pre-existing injury. That’s against the rules, isn’t it.

Anyone who doesn’t rant and rave in the pits after their races. That does not fit the Poole way of working. Pretty sure Roynon will be in the Headmaster’s office on Wednesday afternoon for a final warning from the Head and his southern deputy……unless he’d had that warning already and tonight was simply played out before new averages allow a change from Tuesday.

So does Scott get a 7 day ban for missing the fixture for a non speedway absence?

Glasgow missing both reserves. Complin getting married. Pijper racing abroad. Connor Coles and Sam Hagon to deputise.

Yes, I have earlier this season.

More likely Haven Rockley Sands. Plenty to do for his children.

I think Skidder May be referring to the fact that, although named in the programme as the meeting referee, Chris Gay was monitoring and assessing the performance of probationary referee Simon Smith who took full control of the meeting. Chris was not always in the referees box and indeed chose to observe from different locations whilst always being in contact with Simon.

Third time at Poole this year. Meeting as reported above, but who was doing the centre green presentation last night. Could hear every word for a change. Normal bloke is usually a bit muffled.

So it might be, but look where it got Plymouth in their recent home matches………poor results.

Hope Richard is ok, but I bet Danny King’s phoned got a message from Dorset yesterday evening asking ‘what you doing Wednesday mate?’

I’m told Poole will be without Anders Rowe due to an international commitment in Germany. R/R instead with Sam Hagon at No.8. Redcar hope to be at full strength.

Does anyone know when the facility for Erik ends? And what are the prospects for his return?

Poole now meet Oxford and go to Cowley on 30 May and at home on 31 May……..the Jubilee meeting delayed again.

Steve Worrall has withdrawn from tonight’s Poole meeting with illness. Might be a doubt for Wolves tomorrow.
