True. I'd forgotten his ill-fated experience.

Sorry wrong emoji. Craig Cook at 6 just confuses me. I expected it to be one of Poole's Cook brothers.

Apart from the fact this is the KO Cup final thread, your post makes little sense!

Which Cook?

So Dudek or Vaculik then, as the others wouldn't be making their debut?!

Could have had the Jubilee final if the 2 other clubs had agreed!!!!

Or Holder and Holder or Kurtz

Surely doesn't stop a Prem fixture from going ahead using r/r &/or guests depending on who is missing. Is it likely that Prem clubs are going to be inundated with 'top' riders? If so they will likely bankrupt themselves!!

Next Tuesday 11th has been announced for over a week for the Plymouth v Glasgow fixture - assuming there are enough guests available.

announced today - see seperate thread!!

...and Leicester!!

A drop to 38 points is being strongly rumoured - to create a bigger gap between 1st and 2nd tier.

Being on a level playing field at Championship level!!!! Prem clubs already charge from £19 to £22 for adult admission (25 for a grandstand seat at BV!). With the extra financial pressures on everyone's budget, I think it would be a very brave decision to enter into anything new with substantial additional costs - and no guarantee of better racing!! Just my opinion as one of the sponsors.........

At what additional cost though? An extra 30% in rider and related costs?! How much would admission prices increase as well as being on an 'off' racenight?! Not as clear cut as it appears.

Not if it means Thursday racenights again, which seem to be still the Prem priority.

Their statement says they are switching to Thursdays!!!

Leicester must have had some sort of confirmation as to the availability of 'top' riders next season?!

The Pirates are looking to run a coach to Leicester on the Saturday. For those that are keen, please contact the speedway office to register your interest, via the club website.

No way will 2023 be Poole's last season!

So Poole stage the first leg on Friday 21st and Leicester the 2nd leg the following day Saturday 22nd October.

I suppose we'll have to expect Kelvin gushing all over his return this evening on Eurosport!?

With the amount of neurological damage Havvy has suffered, its hardly right to take the p!$$. But from some posters on here I guess its all one can expect!

Whose lawyer was it? Discovery Sports Events?! At least when Poole brought Greg Hancock in in 2013 it was early August before the cut-off!!

Let's not forget though, as we've been told all week since Wednesday, this is a track that 'always provides great racing'!! Hope all riders are OK.

Any current Ashfield weather update?
