Poole now meet Oxford and go to Cowley on 30 May and at home on 31 May……..the Jubilee meeting delayed again.

Steve Worrall has withdrawn from tonight’s Poole meeting with illness. Might be a doubt for Wolves tomorrow.

Stefan Nielsen has withdrawn suffering from the after effects of two big spills last week. A replacement is being sought.

How about specifying no guests from clubs in same qualifying group or from other teams left in the competition?

Do Championship League / Cup / BSN fixtures take priority over Polish U24 meetings?

Hearing Plymouth may need a guest for Richie Worrall on the restating date as he is in a European Championship meeting abroad. King and Nicholls seem to fit the bill.

Pirates TV are covering the meeting for those who can’t attend. https://livestream.poole-speedway.com/

I’m told the meeting will be streamed by Pirates TV. The purchase link will be available from the Poole website.

Can any Poole regulars confirm that for 2023 the rider parade has been brought forward to 7.15 with the first race at dead on 7.30?

From podcast Poole: B Cook, Z Cook, King, Lawson, Lindback, Newman, S Worrall. Belle Vue: Blodorn, Brennan, Etheridge, Schlein, R Worrall, C Wright, Zagar.

The rumour at the Celebration of Speedway yesterday was that an announcement will be made this evening.

Sorry if I’ve missed it. Is Jason Crump still team manager or even part of the Cheetahs set up?

What average would Keynan Rew be given in the Championship?

Taken from the A.R.H Heathens Facebook pages: Bowtell, Coles, Roynon, Spencer, Dugard, Watts.

So IOW and Cradley have now declared their six man teams. Great to see that Mildenhall, Oxford, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Poole, Leicester, Berwick and Kent are endorsing the new league as they must have given permission for their team members to take part.

The official scorecard is here: https://britishspeedway.co.uk/22results/leicester_04.11.22_res.pdf Dan Thompson was placed third in heat 5.

What happens if a Premiership / Championship rider is seriously injured whilst racing in, for example, a Polish league fixture? If I read this correctly the SRBF would have to turn away that riders approach for help. Can anyone clarify?

You would hope they use next Friday’s fans social to deliver news on the last rider and a the Centurions involvement in the Nora League.

Warriors website reporting a local paper’s article about Wightlink restoring the late evening Fastcat link back to the mainland from March. That’s good news if we can be back to Portsmouth by 10 pm or just after.

With Tate doing Polish U24’s on a Tuesday, I would have thought it unlikely that he’ll be at Plymouth.

Could someone please remind me of the BST start times for the 2023 Ekstaliga fixtures? Thanks.

Two points. 1. Why is everybody sold on the idea that Newman and Roynon will complete the team? The suggestion that Thomas will start at 2 could be a smokescreen if Plans A, B and C have been thwarted. With 8.18 left for two riders, perhaps Ruml and Ablitt (for example) could come back into the equation. 2. The Cook brothers tackle the Aussie Championship this week and I’m sure fair minded supporters won’t be expecting them to be hitting Finals given the strength of the field, however it will be interesting to see if they can take a few recognised scalps along the way as they build up to big UK seasons in 2023.
