Ryan Ingram breaks down en route north of Oxford, but fortunately is helped by MPT and Dan Gilkes.

No it was his knee!!🤣

Kennett has been released as a permanent replacement apparently.

Lets hope the Presenters/Commentators do their research on who the riders race for - Premiership and Championship - as 11 of the declared 16 (as of 13/8) are Championship riders. It'll be a missed opportunity if only the Prem clubs are mentioned imo! A graphic should also show the forthcoming meetings - where and when - that could 'flash up' on screen throughout the broadcast!

Oxford will have a much better choice of guests for Riss than Eddie. Expect to see a decent 6.5-7.0 pointer when they visit Poole next Wednesday.

Presumably Oxford can only use guests for Riss(7.57) now, but a wider choice for when they visit Poole next week eg Kemp, Barker....?

For any fans (and riders!) travelling to Wimborne Road today, the A31 is closed both ways from M27 to Ringwood following the New Forest fires at weekend. Diversions are signed but they may add up to 1 hour to your travel time.

The only slight issue is (god forbid) if he gets an injury then the choice of guests has diminished considerably.

If this is hopefully the first of several then I hope there will be some way to mention/publicise all forthcoming fixtures and tracks over the following week or so - Premiership and Championship at least.

BSPL were aware of the signing intention. It was just the paperwork getting through. Not sure if the BSPL office is staffed at the weekends?😇 Great to get him on 4.00 gsa though.

Because Riga finished after Berwick!!

Didn't I read recently that ITV was being bought out by Sky?!

Deal was done in Riga.

According to the SS last Thursday, Poole's 75% of fixtures was up at Berwick on Saturday. BUT just because the club only announced the signing today doesn't mean the deal/contract wasn't done last week. In fact MF heavily hinted it at the home meeting last Wednesday v Edinburgh.

To be fair Eddie is knackered anyway.

Slater Lightcap signed for Wednesday. Opposition eclipsed!🤣

Slater Lightcap makes his Poole debut on Wednesday 12th. And its against the BSPL Chairman's team!🤣😇

Poole still got the number 6 guest to announce.

Good!

He's battered. He has put a statement out on socials.

Pirates - Morris for Lawson; Jenkins for Newman ; TBC for Bowes Scorpions - Brennan for Pickering.

True. Meant to say leading upto the playoffs.

Having just watched last night's heat 14, I note nothing has been said about Battye's right elbow into Rushen's neck as he came out of gate 1 towards gate 2? Unsatisfactory (dangerous?) start as a bare minimum! Tsk tsk, these youngsters eh? what are we going to do with them....? Answers on a postcard to SCB Towers, Rugby.🤣

Looking to the play-offs it seems Vinnie Foord could be a busy boy?!

Neither Matt nor Danny Ford are on the 'Management Committee'/ Executive Board!
