Good point!

Well Rosco certainly wants and hopes to run in 2022 according to this week's piece in Speedway Star, whether in a 'new' stadium or as it was in 2019!! He reckons they - the speedway club - are expecting an update from the stadium management any time soon!!

He could still guest!!

Maybe but you can't guest at home for the same club more than once in 8 days

Nick has concussion from last night so an automatic minimum riding absence for 7 days (I think)

Perhaps the fact that he is guesting for Glasgow is swaying some peoples' opinion?

I'm honestly surprised at Rory taking the booking with everything he's got going on off track!! By Monday he will have done 8 meetings in 8 days, which followed 4 meetings in 5 days the previous week. His scores have been a little 'hit & miss' to say the least.

A cracked/fractured finger would be quite sore I imagine?!

I understand after the dust problems in the first 4 heats the previous week due to not getting enough water into the track, the track guys went overboard with watering during the day on Wednesday. So much so that the riders saw how uneven and 'claggy' (technical term) the track was on their track walk. The issue was raised by both team captains particularly going into turn 1 and turn 3 and these were clearly inspected by the Referee before the meeting began and as some have said the riders asked for no watering once the meeting had started. I know the club are trying to get some 'new' shale but this is proving a challenge in the short term and with the weather forecast for Sunday being hot and sunny plus with an earlier 5pm start, I'm not sure how the track will be? Incidentally is James Shanes riding as he was given time off due to the imminent birth of his child?

Cut-off date is 26th September - whats the problem?

or maybe Glasgow?

Lawson will surely go to Glasgow to replace Cook?! More importantly who is replacing Nick Morris over the next week?

r/r for Richie as no suitable replacement for concussion victim Nick Morris!!

No Cook for Ippo - replaced by Chris Harris.

Can't see it being 'burnt down' as GI are still operating the greyhounds but someone 'prominent' should be lobbying the Swindon Advertiser to start campaigning - theres nothing the local politicians like less than negative media attention.

No.

Maybe Lee Kilby will come back to lead some fan pressure, now that he has little to do in Sussex? Can't expect Rosco to do too much at the moment as he is still laid up after his knee operation. Is Terry Russell still the owner?

James Wright in a heat leader position at 3 is a tougher prospect than when guesting for Poole at 2 or 6!

No, neither for the home meeting v Brummies on Sunday. New averages come into effect 1st September which as far as Poole are concerned is their away meeting at Birmingham.

So if they came out and said 'We've met with GI but they can't tell us anything different at the moment', that would be enough for Robins supporters?

The club can't say anything if they are not being told anything by GI

If this hot, sunny weather continues as it is forecast to do through tomorrow then its going to be a struggle for the track staff and the water bowser to get enough water into the track!!!

So Lee Kilby's video thanking the riders and the stadium owners for their continued support means very little then?!

Clearly there is more interest in a successful 'Dad's Army' team of established riders than one of young up-and-coming and often struggling future stars?!

I assume that whatever Peterborough are doing to promote, it seems to be working if last night's delayed start due to massive queues of fans wanting to get in?!!
