Not sure with this new 'junior' league? Although Tuesday is not a 'priority' race day for Poland?!

Thank goodness Zach Cook has not been summoned to ride for Torun in Tuesday's U.24 League meeting v Ostrovia!!!

Upset about being taken out of his last ride and a bust up with Mr May I hear. Isn't his father a club sponsor too?

6.Edwards; 7. Morley. POOLE: King; Z.Cook; Worrall; B.Cook; Lawson; Kemp; Ablitt.

Bomber at 1

Broken arm, 5 busted ribs and a collapsed lung for young Gilkes!! Get well soon young man.

I think that confusion was in respect of the Plymouth team next Tuesday v Pirates?!

As I understand it a 2-year deal was agreed for 2022 and 23. Further on the Council and Stadia UK need to decide/announce what the long term plans are for the whole stadium site as well as for the whole of Poole town centre area.

All the GPs are on Eurosport 2 this season!! Eurosport 2 are also showing selected Premiership meetings starting on Monday 2nd May at Wolves.

So best get the correct 1-7s in the preview then.

Well at least with the new May averages Plymouth won't be able to use any of Pirates top 3 anymore - at least for a month, possibly longer!!

Any news on the Kennett guest or will Plymouth go with r/r now that MPT is back?

Thanks Lisa - I thought that was apparent from Poole's fixture list. Good news on the track is that fresh shale is due to be laid before the next home meeting on 11th May!!

Have to agree the track was not upto recent standard being far too slick and dusty from early on. Brummies kept it reasonable upto mid meeting then after a succession of 3-3s the Pirates banged in 5-1s in heats 13 and 15 to finish things off. Stevie's last meeting at 1 until Danny takes over in May at least and Steve moves to 3 with Richard Lawson to 5 according to Steve's interview when receiving his Rider of the Night award.

A quick note for anyone travelling from the East (Bournemouth and beyond) to Poole Stadium this evening - Canford Way and Dorset Way around the Mannings Heath roundabout and Tower Park areas are CLOSED due to planned resurfacing. Diversions are in place but its very congested at peak times. PS. The May Greensheets are out with Captain Danny King moving to Number 1 from 3rd May.

Zach is riding for Torun tonight in the new Polish U.24 league (scoring 9+3 from 5 rides at Wroclaw) - Brum's James Pearson is also in Poland this evening.

Yes apologies, I'd forgotten that Eddie Kennett was a number 1!!

How have Plymouth managed to name Richard Lawson to guest again tonight having used him to guest last Tuesday as well? I haven't checked the 2022 SCB rules but is there no longer an 8-day ruling?? Or is it a BSPL sympathy rule? EDIT just checked and its ok when replacing the number 1!! (Eddie a number 1 - who would have thought it?)

Presumably ok as he's declared in the Pirates line-up for Wednesday. Also he's due to receive £500 (as is Nathan) from the Poole R.E.F. (Riders Equipment Fund)!

...and for which there is a planning application to turn the whole site into retirement housing and a care home!!

and on mine!!! It was always stated to be on Eurosport 2.

a chip off the old block!!

.....again!!

I'll be very interested to see the scores on Saturday Leicester v Glasgow.

New date for this confirmed as Wednesday 25/05/22. Not sure about Vissing's availability as the Danish league is in full swing!?
