That's exactly what Neil Vatcher's team is doing with young riders from motocross, grasstrack and elsewhere. But it takes time.

So the 'Premiership has started to get its act together'?! Brum sign Nicholls as a temp replacement for the not yet used Pawlicki and Ippo use Nicholls twice as guest for Doyle.

Not forgetting Masters on a T/S scoring 0 points. I think with Poole's upgraded track prep, the Oxford riders seemed caught out with set-ups. Super night though. Live band (not to everyone's taste but then music never is!) plus some terrific racing in front of a huge crowd - many of whom I hope are back for our next tough meeting against............Plymouth!

Anybody got the GI statement in the Adver?

Tobias 5+1 from a 4 point 2nd string! What's not to like (eh Martin Hunter?) and a donut too. Ticking the box. 61-29 didn't see that coming. Fab crowd, both car parks full half hour before start time. We'll done team.

They will probably use a 'passenger replacement service' or use a 'guest' service ie a bus!! NB> TRACK UPDATE AT 1PM.- Bright, sunny and breezy at Wimborne Road. Meeting definitely ON. Designated turnstiles opening 30 mins early at 6pm for Pre-booked ticket holders and Season Ticket collections.

Despite the earlier rain the very strong winds have dried the track nicely. It just depends now on how much more overnight stuff falls.

The BSN Series had T/S rides last season. Plymouth used one at Poole and vice-versa at Plymouth.

Thought it was a SCB decision, not BSPL!?

SCB now grant a 28-day guest facility to Plymouth to cover Covatti's absence,

It was also stated either by Mark Philips or Gary May in interview that Covattis injuries were not in plaster casts!!!

Taking up bends 3 and 4 and putting down some aggregate which needs time and sunshine to bed in.

Just back from Portugal today. It was cool and raining when I left with similar forecast for Easter!! Enjoy.

According to Plymouth owner Mark Philips in his p&p interview (available on fb etc), the club has til Wednesday - 72 hours before their first fixture - to make a signing in order to take their place in the League!!!

Whatever! The point being that the vast majority of Championship promotions voted for the lower limit so the BSPL Board members had to go with the majority and clubs will just have to get on with it. If you want to accuse a BSPL Management Board Director of lying, that's down to you!! Anyway moving on...I assume from the Plymouth Management video comments from p&p day, that Saturdays meeting may well be off as the track is not yet raceable?? (Ps that's a question, not a statement.)

I guess you'ld know all about them Lewy! That's exactly what I was told, face to face, when renewing our sponsorship deal!!

Phil Morris is only responsible to/for the Premiership, as CEO. As far as the Championship teams are concerned only Glasgow and Poole voted against the reduction to 38 points.

...but he's still available....!

So every team is 'weaker', so 'riders should score more points'??? If only admission prices were based purely on rider points!!

Eddie Kennett is still available!!

Yes, still cheaper than most!

Not much home track advantage then Lewy for the first few weeks - assuming the meetings are going to be on?

If it wasn't for some fans insisting rider announcements are started even before the previous season ends, then I'm sure teams wouldn't be confirmed/announced until January! Otherwise there is not a lot to promote in the final weeks run up, just as Poole - and others - are finding. Suffice to know that season ticket sales are booming and once again continuing their increasing numbers.

Maybe we'll find out on 23rd!?

Where do you think you are reading it?
