Depends who the teams are as there may be stadium availability restrictions

I think another key issue for the AGM is Fixture Planning - in light of 2020 being the Olympics and Euro footie tournaments (and there are bound to be others too.) With attendances apparently precarious everywhere (?) Promoters will think twice before going up against any major TV Sport - assuming they realise of course?!

He didn't go missing on Thursday.

Good. Ideal for a second string. That'll mean he'll probably be good for 2021 too!! But he has got to get his visa first. Also why wouldn't Somerset want to keep Bomber if they are stepping up again? Poole will only have first choice of their assets.

Only at weekends when they have loads of other live sports that are considered more popular. They must see something in midweek British Premiership speedway to outbid BT for the contract!!

Yes mate, They had a mid-season business blip and got behind with their sponsorship payments. It was a bit touch and go for a bit hence their logos disappearing from websites and advertising, but back now until the end of the season atleast - Oh that'll be until now then!!

Unless of course the respective stadia are used for something else on Saturdays?! (and Sundays for that matter.)

More than BT but less than Sky. I'm told a 5 year deal is on the table plus the possibility of some Polish sponsorship because of the Eurosport audience reach?! Please don't shoot the messenger as we're not at AGM time yet!!

Mark Lemon wants Kurtz at Belle Vue alongside Fricke. Somerset want him back there too. He's always lived at Middlo's but who knows. As for Poole's main sponsor the eagle-eyed amongst will have seen their logo reappear on the website and the programme cover as I gather monies have changed hands. Also with the advent ofEurosport money on the horizon i'm told the club is no longer proactively up for sale.

Nailed it apparently!!

I might not be able to go myself depending on the date. Unless there is some sort of incentive to attend I don't believe many 'fans' will bother to attend a totally meaningless fixture other than those that have either already paid (ie Sponsors and Season Ticket holders) or go every week no matter what (ie true/real fans). Obviously I would exclude any true fans that are unable to attend due to their circumstances.

Of course they are, but 2 'local derbies' always get more fans from both clubs home and away.

I did tell you the semi should have been Swindon v Poole. Now just a case of both those teams missing 2 huge attendances and pay days!! Never mind eh?!

why? I only said there is one more home meeting left for true fans, Season-ticket holders and Sponsors! Who have I forgotten other than the volunteers?

Nope not at all. Beaten by the better team on the night as either Wolves or Swindon could be.

Don't worry. You might have one of them next season!!!

Well done and congrats to the Ippo boys. You deserved it on the night. Wolves or Swindon will struggle on that track if prepared the same. Only one more home meeting left for the season ticket holders, sponsors and true fans.

99% certain it won't be one league - not with extra money coming in from Eurosport if their deal is confirmed! Just a matter of how many teams in the Premiership? Terry Russell hoped at least 8.

Lets hope the ref keeps it moving as the forecasted torrential rain from the south west could hit any time after 9pm. I'd hate to get to heat 10 and it was 30-30 on the night!!

When watching it back it was the smug smirks on the faces of Hawkins and Louis during the first 8 heats that made me smile

Somerset then?! To join a strong Aussie contingent for 2020?

Its just Swindon's turn this time mate - it happens to most successful teams sooner or later!!

No such thing exists!!!!!

What a wonderful way of covering all your bases (thats a baseball term btw). Heeps was publicly giving it large before the meeting, but apart from being gifted a point or so, he hasn't really performed since he came out of reserve. 'Poole have riders like Kurtz, Klindt and Holder', but Kurtz always 'goes missing' in the later heats according to you but 'still rides Foxhole better than Poole'?! Everyone of your posts involving Poole always has a positive and negative argument, so you can always come back and say you got it right. Very repetitive as usual.

46.34 from October 1st!!!
