Don't think they can now! Poole or Oxford

I guess Basso not going to use Ryanair again? Or is it a favourite airline for riders to use?

Plymouth would worry me if they are back to full strength. Barker could be cleared by then. Also Hans and MPT could be back by then. I like Edinburgh and be good to see them qualify but not the same without Sam Masters

I knew there was another meeting but couldn't think who it was!

Could ask either.

No passing at Poole apparently, someone needs to tell the riders lol

Gone off the Connor Coles idea then

Lol, no idea what you are talking about! Tbf I am always ready to forgive and then does something else. But hasn't for this or last season. So will try again. But takes any more Poole riders out that is it! lol. I am not one of the Poole fans that boos him on parade btw.

And tbh, we need him to get points away more than at Poole. He has done well at places like Scunthorpe, Edinburgh and Plymouth. All playoff teams (maybe Scunthorpe). And did well at Redcar in British U19s as well.

Not me. I don't hold a grudge about anyone.

Because ...? It would be a bit ridiculous considering?

Keep it within 6? I know we won there previously this season but was their first home meeting I think. Assuming Jack Thomas is back next week. Also depends who is reserve in August for them.

Read the Birmingham preview and seemed to me like they wanted it off. It being up to the Poole management to decide and about Poole prob wanting a stronger opposition. Also there were some fan comments on speedway updates meeting thread about Brum wanted it off and Poole wanted it on?? Not denying they worked hard with guests considering a lot of riders who they asked and turned Birmingham down wanted a lot of money apparently.

What Dan Rose (Bournemouth Echo) put on twitter. So don't shoot the messenger! The Brummies have just one of their own riders set to compete. Just spoke to Danny Ford, who addressed why the meeting wasn’t cancelled… (1/3) “We only got the line-up yesterday afternoon from Birmingham. To put it simply, it wasn’t fair to those people who want to come down for holidays and see speedway. “People have gone through expense booking hotels and stuff. While we appreciate it is two very different teams, hopefully we see some good speedway.”

We don't have any fixtures that need rearranging atm (well we would if was up to Birmingham!) so I don't see the problem!

Shocking, should have had a ride.

I have never heard of all 4 riders going down on the first bend before. Poor Sam, already carrying a bad injury as it is. Hopefully all back as soon as possible. So to win at Edinburgh you really need a thunderstorm after H12. They are always so good for last 3 heats!

Me too! As Nathan isn't going. Can only do like for like changes.

It's what the fans voted and wanted. Poole kept the meeting on because of hotel bookings and so on and they only found out Birmingham's team yesterday afternoon?

Rickardsson had a farewell meeting at Poole in August.

Iain!!

Bit mean! Considering what he has been put through in the past regarding his testimonial.

Ha, yeah. Didn't notice that!

It was on one of the press releases/statement. Think it was the SCB one.

Barker's lab results not back til end of next week so doubt he'll be in this!
