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!

I thought they were a Plymouth fan?

Well you would think Oxford riders would jump at the chance at a bit of practice not long before they are down.

Kinda of feel like I have to go just so the club doesn't lose too much money. As they are going to lose a lot from paying the riders as it is.

I would do Batch instead of Wells personally if it is for Auty.

He must be banned as he would be having a field day with all this!

They could have has better riders than that, unless they all turned it down!

Haha, okay. I'll wait for the ten pages post meeting then!

Actually get in quicker using cash as more people use card, so listen out for them calling people paying by cash forward. Sometimes you jump two thirds of the queue!

Can use cash if go through glass stand entrance. I do all the time.

Yeah, had a feeling it was going to be cos of painkiller type situation. But will wait patiently and see what the lab say.
