Technik 491 Posted May 12, 2021 The fixture shown on the BSPL website has moved from 26/05 to 02/06. That's confirmed in my view Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted May 13, 2021 We have been locked down since before Christmas. Government announced roadmap out of lockdown over 6 weeks ago. Still Poole speedway and their new landlords haven’t agreed how to reopen the stadium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are the same Stadia UK that stopped the greyhounds permanently and laid off all the stadium staff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted May 13, 2021 That’s a plausible explanation. At least gives some hope that the stadium will reopen this season for speedway. For a company whose main interest is in “the catering side” according to Dan Ford, hope the poole fans like their burgers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He talks about 'dotting the 'i's' and crossing the 't's' on the final numbers allowed and the staffing within the stadium (bearing in mind Stadia UK laid off all their staff when they stopped the greyhounds!). Fully committed to all the away meetings as per fixture list - which is a huge financial commitment in itself - but may be a slight delay - one week - in starting the home meetings. The Plymouth home KOC meeting has already been put back from 26/5 to 2nd June on the BSPL fixture list. All the team are based in the UK (Zane Kelleher arriving today) and have few if any continental commitments to interfere with their UK meetings Can't wait..
