Sorry - I didn't realise Hartlepool and Man City were in the same league!!!

So sad to see this news, R.I.P. Philip Rising

Surely all Championship sides had the same team-building opportunities. With Poole dropping down in order to save money I'm sure they haven't 'outbid' anyone to get their 1-7 (when they do actually have their full 1-7!), bearing in mind initially they were expecting to track Adam Ellis and Josh MacDonald! The closure of Somerset came at exactly the same time for all other clubs to consider those released riders in their respective line-ups.......

If Pirates manage an early lead they need to be ruthless rather than the mid-meeting 'laid-back approach' that seems to have been the case lately. With guests Brennan and Cook, a decent away win is certainly achieveable and would see Pirates go to second place in the Championship with meetings (mainly home) still in hand. I hope its a good crowd for Newcastle today.

Pirates clutching defeat from the jaws of victory again!! Not sure why Hume was not used in heat 12, but hey ho well done to the Bandits for sticking at it. At least a decent away win at Newcastle this afternoon will see Pirates go 2nd in the table - still with meetings in hand.

Are they still running greyhounds at Blunsdon?

At Poole we can't run anything before 3 pm on school days due to the stadium being next to a school and speedway needing to use their car park as 'overflow'. The costs of running training schools or even stand-alone NDL fixtures would need to cover a substantial £four figure cost.

Poole guests are at number 2 Edwards;Edwards and Bowtell' At 6 J.Wright; J.Wright and Zach Cook Hopefully with Havvy as Team Manager, if we win the coin toss we'll defer to Heat 15?!

£20 for a double header when the club is in financial straits is crazy. Surely £25 or maybe even £30 would have been achievable with single entry reduced to £14/15 would have worked better.

He's following Danish regulations. He has no symptoms so if he tests negative after 4 days he may be released from self isolation.

Oh dear bloody COVID!!!!!!!!!!!! Benjamin Basso missed his Danish League meeting yesterday due to testing positive for COVID. No symptoms but has to self isolate until a negative test result.

Couldn't agree more Steve. We all said the same as soon as the coin toss was done. IMO Against all the other 'top' teams, given the option Danny should always defer to Heat 15.

A substantial four figure£ stadium rental for every meeting, no matter what standard/level of racing!!

That assumes that all clubs are able to influence their outgoings?!!

Surely not an earlier finish with a double-header on Sunday?

Big away win. Crump showing some bravado - should know better at his age.

Very interesting reading the meeting preview on the Monarchs website!! They reckon the Gladiators have Zaine Kennedy in their 1-7?! What the fork?!

I would imagine 5

Matt and Nigel have been working on this for some 3 weeks jumping through several bureaucratic hoops to finally get the signing approved. The added bonus is that there shouldn't be too many clashes with the Danish fixtures.

Currently has a higher average than Freddie Jacobsen and Peter Kildemand in european leagues. I believe he's been Danish Champion at the various age groups below senior.

The club's announcement last week indicated that the Edinburgh away meeting on 6th August is the more likely date for the Number 2 newcomer - thats of course if all the necessary paperwork and permissions are in place.

If I'm being realistic I believe Poole will come away with 2 wins from 3 away meetings this week!! But hey 2x 4 point away wins is not to be sneezed at.

Lets hope Danyon and Stefan don't suffer any injury or 'burn-out' before then having both signed for Sheffield Tigers - Stefan permanently doubling up; Danyon guesting for their next 2 meetings.

I thought all start marshalls had to be in radio contact with the ref!??

Its quite amazing how many fish you catch when you cast the bait in a downpour!!
