I think that with the economic pressures on everyone, a minimum home meeting schedule of 12 (in Poole's case) is more than acceptable. Of course if progress is made to the play-offs (top 6 again; out of 9 this time) as well as the KO Cup and Trophy meetings then it looks good. Start at Easter with some sort of Bank Holiday Trophy meeting or similar then 4 months (allowing for any rain-offs)to get the competitive meetings in before the cut-off. Perfectly sensible planning imo.

The promoters know! Give Gazza a bell!

At least 12 guaranteed home meetings for Poole before any play offs etc. Start at Easter through August and then the serious stuff!

What was the meeting on Monday?

So it's back to one home one away plus aggregate bonus point! Play offs still top six but split into 2 play off mini leagues of 3 each selected by the top 2.

You could have both Cook Brothers at reserve. Both good mates with Jack Holder makes for good team spirit.

I thought the emojis would show I was joking?!

No point really. Lewy would have a guest!!

Only if its on a Wednesday neutral track!!

We all thought you had applied?! CV not up to it??

Maybe the 4 Prem clubs with decent race tracks are objecting to yet another that has problems with prep? Maybe its 'Lets all gang up on the Bates'?

or if the Prem was on Wednesdays?!

I hope Danny Ford's not has his arm twisted?!!! In the best interest of the sport of course!!

Maybe the BSPL have given the Speedway Star an 'exclusive' for this Thursdays edition?

Didn't Sheffields Master Bates say recently that it would be a 6- team Premiership??

When I checked the BSPL website at around 5pm yesterday to check for any AGM info, the Leicester Lions logo had definitely moved into the Premiership section. The 9 Championship logos were in 3 rows of 3.

Yes just seen that too! Weird!

Do you have to keep guesting?

At least the Leicester logo has gone to the Premiership clubs section on Speedwaygb

The office staff need time to go away and recalculate all the averages for team building!!

Conversion rate between the 2 leagues? Length of time a guest facility can be used for a heat leader injury? Number of matches for new averages? Who is going to the shops to replenish the chocolate biscuits!

Clearly some differences of opinion - Main statement due Thursday morning after 'clarification of several points'!! See brief statement on BSPL website.

As well as the main AGM, don't both leagues have their own seperate meetings? If so it may take a bit longer to find 2 rooms of similar size rather than one room for the Championship and a utility room/broom cupboard for the Premiership!

There are plenty of fans that don't bother with forums such as this and so an announcement in the media (Echo, Solent, tv, facebook etc) is much better.

Matt will always have a couple of team options pencilled in before the AGM but will never want to release all the team info at once as there will be.nothing newsworthy in Dec/Jan/Feb.
