Nora is the correct future for the national league and has been for a good few years now but will the scb/acu let it go ?the national league around the early to mid 2000s when the national league  (Plymouth, Weymouth, Wimbledon cradley )started pulling in bigger crowds than the top leagues measures were put in place to decimate the league and it didn’t take many years to reduce it to the debacle it is today, short sighted, jealousy and bitterness and in some cases incompetence are rife in the bspl so don’t expect anything to change anytime soon, anyway a big congratulations to Martin and everyone at the IOW for an enjoyable short season that happily attracted good crowds 

Wednesday has always been Pooles night. Sheffield is Monday or Thursday. Why should Championship give way to Elite league?    

The statement on the website said rain between 4pm and 8pm. Surely better to judge at the end of that time period rather than at the start of it ?

Can the riders currently doubling up but not riding in Poland earn enough by just riding in the Premiership? How does the Premiership benefit by the gap being wider? It's not a must.

So let’s pull various strands together. Six consecutive competitive meetings completed in glorious weather in front of excellent crowds. No major accidents or incidents to report. Midweek racing continues to pose a problem in terms of rider availability. Unavoidable withdrawals due to previous weekend injury appear to have created some disruption which have been managed creatively. NORA is the correct ‘league’ for the Warriors who could simply not afford the many costs associated with BSPL affiliation. Expect more of the same in 2027.

Certainly isn't turning out to benefit Kyle Thomsen who is now going to miss a meeting with Sheffield now restaging their home meeting against Northampton on the same night (September 16) as the Monarchs are at Poole
