I would think that any proposed 'new' team to a league would want to know the full rules and regs before committing!!

Probably not as I think we're looking to surprise all the Championship sides!! (Joking.) Seriously it'll be one of the questions to Danny Ford at next Wednesday's fans quiz night.

£1600 rental? That's quite reasonable compared to some. I know of at least one that is almost double that. NB how much to sponsor a meeting? Just interested.

Yeah the Supporters Cup with fans nominating the later heats really worked well this season. 'Let's all vote for the oppositions weakest riders'!!? Brought hundreds of extra fans in that did- Not!! I've said before why keep promoting speedway as a 'family sport' ? We've been doing that for years and nothing positive has happened anywhere consistently. Let's promote the danger excitement feuds handbags - a bit of 'Boyce v Gollob' at Hackney. The tv audiences will.lap it up.

All these suggested changes to race formats are just as likely see more traditional punters leave and will do nothing to attract new ones whether on Eurosport, netflix or You-tube!!!

That 2 seasons in the Premiership almost bankrupted the club. You should try reading the Star - there's lots of factual info in there.

As a matter of interest Where would you suggest those NL riders who want to improve progress to?

You clearly haven't read Garry May's comments in the Star!!

Crikey Somerset were only in the top tier for 2 seasons weren't they? And almost bankrupted themselves in so doing!!

When the rumour of going SGBC first started amongst some of the sponsors during the season Nicolai Klindt asked if it was true as he was on a 2 year contract? AT THAT TIME the answer was no we're staying SGBP. MF made various enquiries of other promoters including Len Silver of the likely cost savings and then put it to the fans. Incidentally MF's chateau is due to be featured on Escape to the Chateau next year.

Nothing to correct. Just to clarify Matt tried to sell the club when the Sky deal stopped but no takers. As for the chateau it's not just him it's a partnership of a few investors. And you're right there has been some unexpected additional costs but thats the French for you. Still on track to take first paying guests at Christmas. He puts regular updates on Facebook.

Doyley carried his rotator cuff injury for far too long when he was at Poole as well as being in the shadow of a couple of other superb riders. His form and will to win really only started once he had the op. The other key thing was meeting Emily and settling down!!

Go on you know you want to!!

Fan responses, more meetings and all remaining sponsors and advertisers in favour of sticking with Poole in the Championship. That was enough to convince Matt to take the step. You seem quite anti in many of yourposts why are you not convinced?

Why are you so concerned about what Poole are doing in 2020? You just can't keep away can you?

Yeah but the Fans voted for Championship racing with more Southern derby meetings with Rebels and Eagles.

It's my own post. I couldn't get hold of Matt as he was taking yet another pleading phone call from Terry!

Oops think I touched a nerve there. Such language from Wiltshire! Tut tut

Yes but that was before I spoke with Matt and Danny

Shock horror Poole have gone bust because DC2 says so!! What an idiotic post. If you are so concerned with Poole's future you might try reading all the reasons Poole lost money last year. They are well documented even for those on some sort of twisted wind up. Terry Russell has already changed his 2020 budget several times to try to find ways of replacing the income from 2 lost Poole home meetings

Where has it been said there's only one place available? As for Kent and Plymouth running SGBC and NDL teams surely it's their choice not a condition! Or have I missed something?? As for the youth round i'm sure it would be well supported at Poole as long as the date doesn't subsequently clash with an away league fixture which would require the club's promotion and many track volunteers to be elsewhere.

Let's not forget the object of Poole going SGBC is to get back on a firm financial footing. Why would you look at starting something that although reasonably successful on track ( Buccaneers) last time was a financial disaster!! Poole Speedway don't own or lease Poole Stadium they merely rent it when required ( at a not inconsiderable rental either). Their only income is sponsorship advertising merchandise and admissions.

Ellis and Grajczonek also signed in Denmark.

As I edited above Poole host Weymouth's meetings.

Lack of Stadium availability I presume. Weymouth have their meetings at Poole too.
