  1. Dale Allitt stating in the SS this week that they have been 'teasing an exciting end to their team-building plans!!' ? ps. In a separate story 'Ford salutes chairman Chapman'! Poole's Matt Ford applauds Buster's investment in 3 Premiership clubs, insisting 'he knows how to make businesses work'! "I take my hat off to Buster. Buster has invested in a business he believes will work. He's a sharp cookie. He knows how to make businesses work and he has done that at Kings Lynn". ...."Perhaps he senses we are on the verge of something better. He's no fool and I'm happy that he's playing the part he is."
  2. SCB Regs are usually made public for the1st March each year. Promoters, riders, officials will have had advance notice of any major changes.
  3. Brando, Middlo, Lemmo and all the Holders were in attendance plus many many more.
  4. Good racing, good promotion and a winning team will retain/attract more fans!! ps. PoP I hope your financial link up with NK proves a fruitful one.
  5. Not having team kevlars in 2018 didn't stop Poole becoming Champions did it?! Its not as if Poole were the only SGBP team not to have them either!
  6. Apologies if I've missed this, but any truth in the rumour that Buster's home had a fire whilst he was away?! As for the TJ story in the Star this week - it was primarily about the help he received from the club during 2018. It stated he was 'still hopeful' of a team place.
  7. Incidentally a great turn-out last night for the latest Poole Supporters (R.E.F.) Quiznight. 17 teams taking part but modesty prevents me from naming the winners. During the evening the R.E.F. Committee - ably led by Stan and Val Vatcher - were commended for their fund-raising efforts on behalf of the riders since 2002. It was announced that over £67,000 has been raised and presented to Poole riders during this time. The next R.E.F. night will be a Fans Forum on Weds 20th March involving Matt and the new promoters plus some riders.
  8. Not at all - I recognise a wind-up when I see one!
  9. I suggest you check the list of people and their jobs in the General Enquiries section of your own official website then!! I'm very aware of what Emma does away from speedway and I wouldn't think she has much spare time on her hands at the moment!!
  10. No Kings Lynn, Ipswich or Peterborough??? Bit of a surprise!! PS, I would imagine that Poole's £78k was virtually wiped out with the lost 70th Anniversary meeting at the start of the 2018 season!!
  11. Really?! What do Helen, Hayley and Christine do then?
  12. Oops forgot to wish Lemo a Happy Birthday for yesterday!! (And I'm not the only one, surprisingly!)
  13. I thought the sport was all about attracting younger fans!!! Anyway this 'Poole Poster' will be there from 1.30pm (probably a bit earlier in fact!! )
  14. Poole P&P day finally confirmed for Thursday 4th April at 1.30pm for media, sponsors and season ticket holders. 3pm for general public when the riders can take to the track. (Not allowed track time before 3pm due to being next to a school!)
  15. Believe it or not the Bournemouth Echo have also covered the MPT signing in today's edition!!! Although not in the online version as yet!
  16. The article in this week's SS confirms DB can only get a mechanic to do one UK league not both - so BV suits his racing calendar better.
  17. So the much-maligned KL publicity machine manages to get the MPT announcement in the sports pages of today's top selling national tabloid!! Good job.
  18. Maybe they didn't consider one of them to be that 'big' or unexpected??
  19. How do you think non-KL fans find out this news??? Try checking social media, local news sites and websites - and sometimes even the Speedy Star?!
  20. Pratt's interview in the SS this week confirms that Buster has bought the club but that he will have nothing to do with the day-to-day running of it other than the initial team-building budget. In fact Pratt states that despite his long time friendship with Chapman, nothing will give him greater pleasure than coming out on top of Buster's 2 other teams!!
  21. Lets hope the referees keep an eye on all the rolling starts with Cook and Andersen in the team!!! Unless the new guidance to refs is to let all starts go unless the tapes are touched, in which case the Panthers will be virtually unbeatable at the Showground?!
  22. It was only snippets of various sports - including speedway - when she was a young 'cub' reporter (pre-Sun and Mail) still learning her trade and being required to cover most sports especially the 'minor' ones.
