The stadium is still in regular use for greyhounds several times a week and it is still the registered head office of G.I.

Not surprising considering his UK base!! I bet the phoneline to Matt Ford has been red hot!

As some have already said 'the track came to the riders in the latter stages'! Not sure that would have stopped older TV viewers from switching channels at 9pm to The Prime Minister's Confidence vote result OR any younger viewers switching to Love Island?

It could be both but it's the constant banging of the same tune that grates.

Poole fans got fed up continually winning the Premiership/Elite league so are just trying something different and better. Their only issue is the future of the stadium.

Can I hear that big negative drum being banged yet again? You must have very tired arms.

Stevie is probably being ultra-cautious to be ready for the bigger fixture on Wednesday!!

Do Lions fans really think they'll pay for Keleher to fly over from Oz, plus all his other costs, to fill a reserve place?????? He's not exactly proved himself so far has he?

Congrats Edinburgh. Bragging rights to the Monarchs.

They've applied for a facility . doesn't mean they've got one. Rowe's June average is 3.95. Atkins ex Plymouth is available or a 2.00 NL rider? He,s riding for Ipswich tonight so hardly withholding his services.

So r/r for Rowe then?!

Don't get me wrong, the grass is great - as long as it doesn't get too long (BCP Council have a policy of letting grass and weeds/foliage grow wild even if it restricts the view from passing traffic!!?)

Agree 100% with that summary. The only thing to add is that with Sargeant missing Poole managed to get through the whole meeting with only one set of tapes! So 3 points, a good crowd, great meeting with good opposition and a saving on tapes. Whats not to like?! PS> With the stadium looking reasonably smart and tidy at the moment I hope its not too long before the new grass on the old dogtrack is trimmed back......!

What else might they be covering it on?

Good luck to the Brummies tonight. As long as their guests perform adequately then it could be a decent result for them.

Sorry to hear your experiences but just for balance - how do you know it was a Poole fan that damaged your bike?

Remember fans of both clubs, there are still roadworks on Wimborne Road near to Poole Stadium so allow a bit more time to get there!! Weather is fine with no possibility of even a light shower before Edinburgh arrive. Also theres a great piece in today's Echo by Danny Ford supporting the Monarch's search for a new track. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk

Don't forget Edinburgh fans the meeting is to be streamed by Pirates TV. Check out LIVESTREAM on the Pirates website. £11.99 Unless you intend to watch Scotland v Ukraine footie?

One minute you talk about clubs 'cutting their cloth accordingly' and then clubs 'taking the risk' and bringing top level riders over?! Yet if a couple of clubs are financially sound enough to employ 'top' riders but the others in that league aren't then how does that solve any of speedway's problems. You also compare British Speedway unfavourably with Sweden and Denmark as if they have no problems at all - wrong!!

Good to see Rosco in attendance!!!

Whether attending or watching the stream it would be nice to see an official meeting preview!!?

Edwards is due to be in Polish U24 fixture - as is Zach Cook on Tuesday.

Isn't the German SGP also on Saturday 4th, as well as International Footie (yes I know its England!!) on mainstream TV?! Excellent fixture planning

Its r/r for Lasse at 2 and Jason Edwards at reserve (7) for Sargeant. Only Paco and the reserves can take the r/r rides.

One Match?????????
