And here he is, the resident Poole correspondent, he just loves Poole, more than his own team Ipswich 

BSN just posted a video of the track being watered and the sun is now out, so get all your friends to come down to the GT tyres Northside arena to support the comets 

A lot of promoters would rather have cheaper riders in heat 15 if the result is not in doubt. Nominations are at Team Managers discretion so you do not have to use best riders.

Exactly, there was a MASSIVE gap and there was no contact whatsoever! Great move

The sizes of fhe sports are irrelevant.... There are fundamental basics which any sport should follow... And using your TV contract to make you look a decent popular proposition is one of the key ones... The UK promoters obviously don't give a monkeys how their product comes across when on TV given the lack of a decent crowd being accepted time and time again... People are sheep. (Look at how popular influencers are?).  Make something look popular and you have a chance others might go along... Make something look like where your Grandparents go, (and dozens of other Grandparents go),  and others probably won't go along... I think it is quite telling how many ex riders promote.. Which inevitably seems to end up with an operating model, and business plan, that seems more set up to suit the riders, rather than the paying public... I would be amazed if doubling up went snd one league would negate that... Meaning if one league did happen I presume home and away twice and five rides a night for those who currently DU? And plenty of guest opportunities given the six day racing structure...
