I don’t think ever Chairman. He was vice-chairman for a while but stepped down in 2011 (?) Too far back to have any relevance nowadays.

Because Poole are successful? It’s hardly the Ford family’s responsibility to save British speedway. That’s down to the management board so you should be asking what they’re doing about it. Leadership and development comes from the top but how much do we see?

Why should it be Poole’s job to advertise the sport? And does anyone really think that changing Poole’s track would have any impact on the sport as a whole? It’s my view that, without Poole, the sport would be in an even worse position as they provide a goal for others to reach. And look at the delight when someone beats them. Every team can build to the same limit. But some give up before they’ve even started - or take chances on riders that rarely work. Before the “winter of discontent” (2010/11?) kicked off, Allen Trump said that when looking at team building for Coventry, one of his first thoughts was “what are Poole doing?” That hasn’t changed.

Quite a bit to unpack here: do you think the money that BSN pays tracks makes a material difference? In the best Sky years it was just over £100k a club but now? Maybe £8k. Boycott away but it won’t change anything. Secondky, clubs that take the mic? In what way? Poole supply a style of entertainment for their fans that seems to work. And, regardless of what people might like to say, winning is entertainment. Demolishing the opposition even more so. The co-promoters make a living from speedway - are they unique in UK? - so they’re also happy. Finally, what’s Morris got to do with it? He is CEO of the Premiership, something that should be clear to all. Whether that means the Championship don’t want him or the other way round, I don’t know.

Well done to VXR Ducati (run by GB Speedway team bosses Vicky Blackwell and Rob Painter) for another great result - and to Tim Neave for continuing to lead the world championship.

Will also be broadcast live (and free!) on FIM-MOTO.TV

Which Sunday? There’s a BYC meeting on the 13th

There will be 9 teams in the Championship, the points limit will be 38, Bomber reckons the one over 8 limit will still be in place - check out his average with GB reduction - and Poole will yet again put together a team that everyone will admire or envy.

Ah, the voice of doom from the south speaks. You can stop watching, you know. Perhaps you did when you think Flint and Ellis didn’t trouble the scorers. Brennan - whose first name is TOM not Tim - is having a poor season and was only emergency back up. GB knew they were struggling without Dan and Tai. What extra do you think Brennan would have brought? And who would you prefer as manager? Middlo? No you have a chip on your shoulder about him. Pizzas and beer Rosco? Easy to criticise from your care home’s comfy chair but come up with something positive for once. And speaking of positives, well done Rob Lambert, overall top scorer.

Greg wasn’t just talking to Poole

Wrong way round. It was Greg who was looking for a team place for Slater. Poole didn’t ask Greg - Greg asked Poole.

What are we looking at? A dark uneven line with lighter colours either side? What am I missing?

Is that how it will work? So if a rider had both a Polish under 24 team place and a place in another Polish league, they couldn’t ride in any other country?

Wrong again Nellie. Cami personally or through his company has been a sponsor in the past but never a major one

Ho Ho. My sides are aching with laughter……

The parent company of Gaming International is called Toklon and the transfer of control of this company from Clarke to Susan Thomas and Eloise Osbourne was registered yesterday. There has previously been a substantial amount of debt noted in the group of companies which largely seems to have been satisfied. As at the end of June last year, the total assets of the group were a meagre £44k

This has to be one of the best promoted meetings ever - and for such a good cause. Have a look at the Facebook page for all the cameos supporting the event, including Jason Crump, Barry Briggs, Phil Collins, Bruce Penhall, James Easter, Ollie Allen, Kelvin Tatum, Chris Morton MBE, Erik Gundersen and Greg Hancock. Hopefully a decent crowd at Buxton on Sunday - the weather forecast looks good - and there’s a shed load of money raised for the Ben Fund.

Leave Nellie alone. He/she/it needs something to deflect from his/her team once more letting its supporters down with a baffling team selection. Again

It seemed a very strange move bringing, or rather announcing they were bringing Riss back when, no matter what, Oxford had only a couple of meetings left and, regardless of the results, weren’t going to make the play offs.

Is there such a thing as a “current rolling GSA” as opposed to just a normal GSA? There are exceptions but, for the majority of riders, the GSA’s come out on the 20 something of each month, effective from the 1st of the following month, so, for the whole of August, Rushen is 6.00 and Cairns 5.49.

If your quoted the full post, you’d have seen that’s exactly what @SteveLyric2wrote
