The general opinion on here is that speedway is doomed unless a sugar daddy of some sort saves the day .. come on 'arry. Sadly Speedway is to lose TV coverage. But already lost ,down the years, are media outlets from where you could access speedway results, yes TV sports channels, Ceefax, Radio Two sports round up at 10pm.Local tv news, newspapers. All now ignore speedway as a much loved sport, well I love it!!.. But hang on there is a sister/brother track related sport who suffer the same total media ignorance but I don't see there promoters seeking urgent help. I'm talking about stock cars - stox invariably have bigger crowds than speedway don't they? But they are not on last knockings as some say about speedway, so why are the stox more popular UK wide? Do the 'drivers' earn as much as speedway riders? Can speedway somehow join forces with the stox i.e. shared meetings on shale surfaces, probably 5 man speedway.. Just my thoughts on getting speedway a cash flow to keep the flag flying.

The music's the same...

I expect already signed ages ago just not announced. I think if he could fit us in to his schedule he was always coming back.

I would only compare Gilkes to Thompson as that’s who he’s replacing, which I think he is capable of beating Thompons 4.81 of last season. I think if he stays fit he should hit the 5 mark. Although if he has a slow start to the season then he could get a spell at reserve.    Either way it Poole want to compete with Oxford and Glasgow and maybe Bewick, Zach and Rushen is a must 

I wonder what Redcar's reasons are?

Great side, but I think that number 6 will be Pooles 7 😉
