Supersub 79 Posted November 19, 2023 Wonder which of the 3 youth options Poole will adopt? Doubt team in league as attendances for Buccaneers was very poor- a few hundred but perhaps weekly speedway at Poole would be good as opposed to gaps between home meetings. I’ve been a supporter since 1970 when speedway was every Wednesday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think it more likely to be after main meeting or the occasional individual meeting. Also as I've said before, next year is an Olympic year as well as Euros '24 so clubs will want to avoid any major TV sporting fixture clashes that may affect attendances.

Anders Rowe this year improves his average not needed the second year. I don’t but into this oh his average doesn’t fit if you want to keep a rider enough you’ll find a way to fit him into your side.
