They'd be doing it after heat 2!!🤣

And then we wouldn't have the donut!!😃 That's Entertainment!😃

That was just to get his official July GSA down!!😃

In this latest 'exchange' is there some confusion between CMAs and GSAs as to how good/bad a rider might be?

As has been said elsewhere I hope it's only a strain and not a tear. The latter might need an op if it can't be 'managed'?!

Just for info, when Sam Hagon rode for Poole he was told by the management that he must learn to ride the inside line and not always go wide!!

Exactly!!

The difference nowadays is that the Championship is not based on riders equivalent to the likes LasseBjerre, Taylor Poole and Kevin Doolan. Clubs each have 3,4 or 5 riders with Premiership team places.

Economically 'safe' is the key, especially when you don't have control of the stadium or its costs!! As stated by others, Poole still get amongst the better attendances across either league because fans (mostly) like what they see and keep coming. Danny Ford has only recently stated (Speedway Star) that Poole will not replace Birmingham next year, nor any other team considering stepping down (eg, rumours about Spires and Tigers!!). Also if/when Coventry come back Matt Ford (as the Promoter) has said it would be at Championship level.

Last night Redcar and Glasgow on Friday had 5 and 4 Premiership riders respectively. Berwick next week have 5 riders in Premiership teams. Poole themselves have 4. Championship racing is far more competitive and has much more fixture variety. Goodness knows what the League structure will be in 2026 with no Brummies and various other rumours about current 'premiership' teams?!

There's never too much success!!! Being in my mid-70s now, it takes some special racing to get me up and out of my grandstand seat and cheering. I did that twice last night!! I think I actually worried my granddaughter!!!🤣

Hence my winking emoji!!

Hot, sunny and dry at Poole Stadium. 'Dust by heat 3',!!😉 COYP.

'Felt that track prep in the UK was poor and dangerous'! Yet its in Poland where his and most of the other serious injuries happen. ...although what this has to do with Poole 2025 I don't know?!

Wind up!!😀 I think most clubs are 'sounding out' riders for next season - without being certain of what the league structure and points limit are going to be!! Failing to plan is planning to fail, as they say......
