Phil Griffin should be on the buttons for next week’s meetings so things will be in safe hands.

So IF the Tigers have withdrawn, why not give the Jubilee title to the winners of the Leicester v Poole Championship decider?

Thank you.

Specifically who did you speak to, to obtain this information?

So with the Polish meeting postponed, will Brennan and Kemp be able to get back in time to race?

So where’s Nathan Ablitt tonight?

Will this take Basso out of the two Glasgow meetings at Plymouth and Poole?

Subject to no problems tonight, I would expect to see Nicholls, Sedgmen and Starke join up with Morley, Complin, Coles and RR.

More details here https://www.poole-speedway.com/news/view/2022-08-27-WORLD-CHAMPIONS-AND-FORMER-PIRATES-WILL-GATHER-FOR-MIDDLO Definitely going to this and definitely taking some cash to make some proper bids at the auction.

I thought the transfer deadline was midnight on 31 August.

I believe Jim McGregor is responsible for referee appointments on behalf of the SCB.

New signing incoming?

Pirates usual 1 to 7 Redcar (subject to events at Plymouth the night before): Wright, Riss R/R, Edwards, Andersen, Kerr, Newman, Jenkins.

SCB website reports that Ben Barkers second sample has returned a positive result. His suspension is confirmed and he has to appear before the SCB in September. Guess that means another facility. Almost unbelievable.

Having seen who the Brummies have guesting for them I can see Kerr, Edwards and maybe Nicol riding for the Gladiators. Add in RR so another 1 needed to join Morley & Mugurk.

I was going to go on Friday as I’m down that way but not now.

And just to add to that, will there be any official FIM/SGP merchandise available? In previous years, in addition to the unofficial street vendors, the organisers had their own official sales points. GP merchandise seems to be non-existent this year. Any thoughts?

Going to be hard for Poole to make changes, but with their recent poor form it will no doubt reflect in the August averages. That may be the opportunity to make a switch and given the Ford’s extensive list of contacts, who knows who they might be able to tempt over for a couple of months. Berwick seem to have done ok finding Jonas Knudsen.

Poole currently out of form. 10 point home win.

Poole currently out of form. 10 point home win.

Any team news available? Guess it’s RR for Starke and MPT with guests for Kennett (injured) and Andersen (Danish League).

Taken from Plymouth Speedway Facebook The Plymouth Centurions are happy to announce the signing of 3 new riders for this Tuesday’s lineup at the Coliseum. Ben Phillips who has been filling the vacant Centurions spot for the past handful of meetings has shown great improvement and commitment to Plymouth and will now be a permanent team member for the remainder of the season. Rhys Naylor who rode for the Centurions in their last meeting showed that an 11 year absence from speedway hasn’t phased him in the slightest and he will lineup at reserve with former Plymouth Devils mascot David Abraham. David, who switched from speedway to trails and motor cross back in 2013, has had some recent practice laps around the Coliseum and has impressed Plymouth management enough to find himself at reserve for this Tuesday’s meeting against the Mildenhall Fen Tigers.

I’ve just been told that Edward Kennetts average is GOING UP to about 8.70 for July. How can that be right. He hasn’t turned a wheel in anger for at least two months.

Surely streaming can’t be a problem. The relatively few clubs who do it wouldn’t continue it if it wasn’t at least covering its costs..would they?
