Excellent statement from the club tonight, all good news around the future of the team, car parking and Erik Riss.

Very rare a motorcycle racer will be out for 3 months with a broken collarbone. Moto GP racers have ridden the same weekend they have done the break. Would be surprised if he’s out for more than 6 weeks if it’s a straight break with no complications

He’s riding for a team that’s run by the people who run the British speedway world team cup team.

He is and he’s the reason why Poole will clean up this year.

You will need to get the app to watch all the meetings. Some meetings will be on the TNT tv channels but all meetings will be watched via the app. I’m using the app now for the Moto GP and it’s easy to navigate around.

Moto GP has been on a break but restarts this weekend.

I moved after the first race to around the start line but moved back to the beginning of bend 3 after about 5 heats and you missed the dust there so it was a good watch. People will stop going if this carries on as it’s not acceptable.

It might have been dusty but there was some good racing. I expect it was hard to keep moisture in the track but fans should not be covered in dust after 1 heat.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully a good meeting tomorrow

If no information is forthcoming before Wednesday’s meeting where is the best place to park? I used to park on the housing estate near the stadium if I couldn’t get into the stadium car park. Is this the best place still to park or is it now permit holders only?

True you can. I look forward to going on the Poole thread saying how crap the track is. That’s most my Wednesday’s full up to October, thank you.

Rain was guaranteed so the track was prepared slick it’s what all teams do these days. It was a poor watch but given the current conditions at the club I think supporters are happy they have a team. I don’t think a Poole fan can really talk about preparing a track for racing after the track that was deliberately prepared slick in the playoff final match against Glasgow. Racing that night was shocking on purpose and not due to iffy weather.

I would expect a new agreement has been reached for just the speedway at a heavily reduced figure which may suit the land owners aswell. The original lease was for 15 years I believe but I could be wrong on that so the new lease for the speedway might only be short term. Gallard Homes can now say the stadium is not profitable and it will help there case to redevelop the land.

Yes it was. injuries really stopped him reaching his potential.

By previous comments I think the Workington supporters are happy he isn’t riding for them.

I think it’s more likely to get the last BSN meeting done than anything sinister against Berwick. If the BSN meeting is not run until later in the season it could screw up the whole competition.

I reckon you’re correct, SIS pulling out have played a blinder for Gallards.

So you were sat with loads of Poole fans who would obviously give a non bias opinion. I was sat in the grandstand last night and I couldn’t tell you who’s fault it was from that view, who knows exactly what lines the rider was racing at that time. To me it was just an unfortunate racing incident. Some Poole fans around me were moaning about the Cooper decision which was the correct one so obviously people have home bias like I do when watching Oxford.

I expect you also said it would never reopen but you would have been wrong about that. You really are a disgusting human being gloating about this.

Mitch Mcdiarmaid is beating him to that accolade at Oxford tonight but it is only a challenge match. Cook can win the official meeting missing award.

Yes, brilliant entertainment this weekend. The new Sportbike category was exciting.

Looks like he will have his work cut out catching the Aprilia’s this season. Big weekend for him as he is the king of COTA.

Where I work one of the employees takes out one of the trucks to primary schools occasionally and comes back with all different art that the kids have done of the truck and then puts them up in the office on a board. It’s all to do with engagement rather than learning and is a good look for the company even though these kids would never had heard of us. But I’m sure when they see one of our trucks now they recognise it. Telling a young child about what a speedway bike can do and letting them sit on it will be an enjoyable experience for most and give free family tickets out to try and get them along.

TNT is becoming HBO max on 26th March.

All clubs should be doing stuff like this, fair play to the promotion.
