Well done Doyle on winning the pairs

This comment is crazy! I’m no Poole fan, and some of the Poole fans on here do leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth, but I’ve still got respect for the club and the way it’s run. Would never want to actually see a club close, we need as many as possible these days. Plus, without rivalries, the sport would be an even duller prospect.

Which one? As I as one of the track curators, I have never met you, have never spoken to you, have never msg you, so would be very interested how you get your information?

‘RELIVE THE GLADIATORS & CENTURIONS 2022 SEASON WITH GLADIATORS TV REWIND’ With the Gladiators and Centurions 2022 season complete and the British Speedway season drawing to a close, Gladiators TV will be keeping the action going throughout the off season on Tuesday nights by rewinding back to March and streaming the 2022 season home matches. Every home match, in order without bias from the 2022 season will be Premiered on our Gladiators TV partners ‘Speedway Portal’ YouTube channel, Tuesday nights starting at 7pm. Plymouth Promoter Mark Phillips said, “Gladiators TV has been a great success in its first season for Plymouth Speedway. We managed to Live stream, along with BSN, every home match promoting both teams with minimal issues throughout the year. By showing our Reruns of those meetings, we can promote our club and sport further afield and bring more exposure to our sponsors who have shown us great commitment throughout the season. It also gives fans across the country who haven’t yet watched our streams a chance to experience the Gladiators TV productions in preparation for the 2023 season.” Rewind streams begin this coming Tuesday (Nov 1st) at 7pm with the Centurions vs Kent ‘Royals’ via the link below. In the meantime, why not check out the Press & Practise footage streamed Live back in March.

BSN do seem much more Professional than their BSP counterparts don't they? Similar to the Speedway Star in that the sport is very lucky indeed to have such media outlets bringing it onto screens and in print... The quality of both productions often belies the subject matter they get to work with...

Having just posted that... I've now received an email from BSN telling me it won't be staged and I'm getting a refund. You would have thought BSPL would have been first with the news!

Hi both. Could you please check your spam to see if it has landed there? If not, then please check to make sure that you haven’t unsubscribed from our emails (this would be if you had selected not to receive any marketing from us). An email was sent to everyone who purchased a BSN+ Bundle from us this morning, once we had received the news. I would recommend adding our group email account address (BSN@no-reply.uscreen.io) as a safe sender, so that your email doesn’t block them coming through. Regards, Ben Duffill (BSN)

My only problem was that you said it was information from a trackman at Leicester, People can post what they like and what they think is right , I work all day, then straight to the track after work most nights, so don't have time to read everything, I was alerted to you post by phone call today, that's why I reacted to it. In fact I have had to read about 9 pages just to catch up with it all. Please be more careful with who you credit your information from.

Yes I have seen this post, but unless you know differently Flagrag is not a track curator at Leicester, so your post is miss leading. Yes several of his comments are incorrect.

Poole did win in 2011. Coventry finished rock bottom. Poole finished 24 points about Coventry in 2010 but they had Shamek at reserve after some very dodgy manipulation.

That's definitely not "down to the base". There's a fair amount of tyre packed material on there, probably more than you'd see at the dust bowl with the ruts at Poole in 5 seasons. Nice bit of material for those who aren't gating tarts to use if the weather plays ball.

I would take him as a No.5 if he we have a big hitting No.1 who'll get you 10+ a meeting. But I wouldn't take him if we had a hit or miss No.1.

That’s a massive improvement. Looks like the Poole track though a little slicker. Not surprising considering the weather due tomorrow. Feeling confident this will go ahead. Come on Pirates, no mistakes. Back to back titles. We deserve it.

Almost back to normal

Stop contaminating all the Poole to threads then

What a fetid piece of work you really are

Just like last year! And probably next year if Poole are involved

Such an arrogant comment from a Plymouth fan whose club had more rain-offs than guests (Not really eh?!)

It doesn’t matter how much it rains in the next two days if the track has now been bladed off to base. Thursday and Friday are dry days. They can put a dressing down on Friday morning and be good to go. No reason now why this won’t go ahead.

That is the trouble with the written word! Also why I try to use the emojis to show in what context I mean it!

Because you are an absolute skidmark, thats why.

I've been dreading the next deletion from our oldest surviving World Finalist list for quite a while. I am sorry to say that day has come -the great gentleman Dick Bradley has passed away just before his 98th birthday- he was #2 on the list behind Arthur. R.I.P Dick

Hey, I'm the host (well, sort of, seeing as I'm really a Bees fan). You come and see me.

Amen to that, me old sparring partner.

Congratulations to Ipswich

Condolences to his family. I remember him riding for Southampton when they visited BVue. A good age but still sad.

if it’s been scraped to the base with all the clay taken off which i think was done and just fresh shale on top it will drain pretty quick

I'm looking forward to watching the 2022 Eddie Kennett highlights!

In all fairness, by that comment then Poole deserved to win it in about 2011 when Coventry were 20 odd points behind in the league table and won the playoffs at Poole?

Why do you deserve it you didn’t finish top of the. League. Bit arrogant that isn’t it.

I was wondering how to word that sentiment myself and you've nailed it! In their email to me it says they've manually got to process all of the refunds! We'll probably be paying a premium next year to cover the fact that BSN are dealing with a bunch of amateurs in the BSPL

There are only two official homologated scraps of paper left so only one meeting can now be ran.... And special dispensation has had to be granted to use the same cardboard box for Leicester v Poole....

Another one I can't actually remember seeing - although I'm sure I did - but I know Dick was always one of my mum's favourites. Very sad news...

Personally, Not so much who I would like, but who I would not like to see in the Redcar jacket: B Barker, C Cook, J Wright, M Clegg, A Roynon, A Summers, J Sedgman, P Starke to name a few. They, in my opinion, all come with either some form of baggage, are unreliable, injury prone or just can’t ride the Ecco Arena. Might all be nice people & good riders, just not for me.

You therefore loose the 2018 title. Lynn won the league by 6 points and beat Poole by 9 points. The year when Ford was allowed to use a guest who's average was to high in the final. In the interests of Poole the sport .

Sorry to hear of your loss

one week a world beater, next week a second string and very much a Cleveland Park specialist

There will be a little fine-tuning, to take any remaining Newcastle influence from the final tallies. The currently-published 'final' averages will be pretty close to the actual figures, but must be awaited before we can be absolutely certain of every rider's CMA .

Well seeing as my info came from one of the Leicester trackman who actually posted this info on here, perhaps you should catch up with the thread. That’s exactly what they intend to do.

Nope, we've done our leg

So, Friday it is then. 7.00pm start for a double header. Hmm…. hope they have allowed for a sun break and ………watering the track!

Sad confused and bitter. As for wishing a club to close that's just plain stupid and out of order. We're quite used to the jealous, envy and hate - it comes with a fair degree of success. Ask any speedway promoter if their attendance increases when Poole visit. It's a Yes from me ... and them.

Club's now officially been more advertised now it doesn't exist than it did for the whole Grant era and nearly the English era combined, thanks random van man in Cumbria

I seem to have touched a raw nerve but do you really need to be quite so offensive in your reply? I have no idea how BV managed to get round the rules and sign Lambert - first (and probably last) team to be allowed to bring in a rider just for the play offs, but well done to them. But don’t kid yourself that he did it for the greater glory of the Aces. It’ll look good on his CV and his bank balance but it’s not exactly a long term relationship. And, as an aside, he only did THREE meetings beating his average by over three points (10.67 as opposed to 7.61). Before you get upset again, please read what it was I was saying: well done to BV for finding a loophole that some will say was the only reason they won the title. Would they have won with the existing 1-6 and r/r or a guest? No one wilL ever know!

Looks pretty clear to me that the 2.5% discount is nor shown.

Not obvious to everyone unfortunately

To be fair Poole just want to win full stop, that is literally all they care about. Fairness, consistency and openness is ok for everyone else as long as Poole win every competition.

Correct on 3 out of 4, but junk your mate Lambo.

Very sad news but it appears that the next edition will be the last. I, for one, will miss the two magazines...from dropping thru' the letterbox I wouldn't put them down until having absorbed all the contents. At least I have the entire collections to browse thru' at my leisure reminiscing the good times! May I take this opportunity in thanking Tony Mac, Susie and all the contributors over the years.
