At least most Pirate fans have been prepared for losing him. As it was fairly clear from his end of season comments. Glasgow fans will love his swashbuckling style - as long as he stays injury-free!!

Presumably he won't be in the Poole v Glasgow fixture on a Wednesday??

Update on Track Shop!! The Poole track shop will NOT be open this weekend (11th/12th Dec) as originally intended due to the non-delivery of all the updated stock. It will still be open next weekend (18th/19th Dec) as originally planned between 9am and 1 pm.

Any day that they choose, as well as mandatory 'training days' usually around the extended weekends!!

Totally agree. So as the stadium owners are also the greyhound promoters maybe Robins fans will get something decent after all?!

It doesn't need to be impressive - just functional.

Hope its a good song?!

First rider announcement 'hopefully next week' - according to Danny Ford in this week's Speedway Star!!

Poland?

Why would Anders opt for a Saturday track in the UK?

Dunno. I'll ask Danny when he's less busy. I assume it is as nothing to the contrary has been said.

The BSPL 'old boys' seem to be gradually missing from the new Board of Directors with Godfrey, Bates, Louis and Ford(Danny) now making up the main decision-makers!!

Surely the units stacked up in the car park are not housing units but office and grandstand units?

No. 2 is the most difficult for exactly the same reasons as you give above - plus he rides against the opposition No.1/ heat leader. Points mean money as its their job

Not sure about that? They wouldn't have a new promoter on the Board in his first year, but he's clearly made a good impression in the various 2021 BSPL meetings!!

Well done to Danny Ford - now on the BSPL Board of Directors!! ....Wait for it................?!!

Hasn't Danyon got relatives up near Glasgow as well as his mechanic being based 'oop North' too?

If he gets more money than other heat leaders it'll be through a 'kindly sponsor' rather then the club!! Don't forget one of the main reasons for Poole going Championship (other than racing on their preferred racenight) was to 'balance the books' after 2019 with lower Championship costs! New and 'old' companies are coming on board as we speak!!

Whether the team is announced or not it seems sponsors are still keen with a previous big sponsor back on board plus a new one to add to the list (ex-Plymouth apparently?)

Thats one of the dangers of increasing your average so much.

How do we know that its been 'very successful' on IOW, other than by their own generated publicity? No criticism - Just asking!!

As indeed he is in Poland Extraliga and Sweden!!

They have til the AGM on Tuesday!

Nobody has said there will not be an agreement. Its a legal negotiation.

I don't think Poole will announce any signings until they have the stadium rent issue legally sorted. No point in weakening any legal negotiating position (by 'accepting' a huge imposed, non-negotiated rent increase) by confirming to the stadium and the Council that the club is definitely intending to race whatever the rent?!!
