Not much chance of him being at Poole - not if his main sponsor has anything to do with it!!

It worked well enough last season!

So which available heat leader(s) would you suggest are signed?

They have no opponents cos all the other six teams are already racing!!

Except when there's a long tradition of clubs riding on certain Bank Holidays!! No issue with Leicester having priority for their evening meeting at Redcar - just questioning how long it would take to get to Redcar from Poole, with most of the holiday traffic going in the opposite direction?

So is it impossible for Richie to get to Redcar for a 7.30 start??

Nigel Pearson reckons they are both riding for Swindon on Friday!!!

So who is replacing Zack and James at Eastbourne on Good Friday? Both are due to ride for Swindon at Poole with an 11.30 start. Eastbourne is due to start racing at 3pm?!

Depends how long Bomber is out for?!

That link doesn't work for me BUT I can't see Bomber being fit for this?! He has withdrawn from tomorrow's Somerset fixture as he requires an op on his wrist to support the scaphoid bone - according to his own social media updates.

Friday night is Championship night (or one of the 4 choices the SGBC clubs have).

It can be if the track prep is done properly. Several riders and officials commented that the track is very different to last year!!

A potential banana skin for the Robins - and also for the Pirates I guess?! Could be a big home win or a very narrow away win depending on who adapts to the new track best. Hope the Pirates manage to keep it close for the Friday morning return at 'gate and go' Wimborne Road. Should be good crowds at both fixtures.

Seems very similar to how Poole started last year and we all know how that finished. Good to see Jack back to some form and Brady taking the new track record.

Yes, not in the original team but forced to ride as a number 8!!

Maybe the rumour about a guest for Jack has started because he's not riding for Torun today?!

Not this Monday he won't!!

Sponsors simply want to be linked to success!!

Maybe something for the Wolves thread. Its simply down to the owner (CVS) as to whether they wish to give him a benefit - as it was down to Matt Ford to grant one for Middlo.

something which probably applies to every Premiership club!!!

Rumours locally that there may be a guest for Jack if his foot is still giving grief?! Any news on a new Panthers signing?

3 of those 5 TV meetings are away, so BT clearly banking on getting an increased attendance at those meetings - as usually happens when Poole visit!!

When Middlo had his previous money nicked by the Reg Fearman promotion, he left speedway altogether and didn't even visit as a fan until the likes of Joe Screen and Steve Johnston were staying with him at Baillie House and enticed him back. Matt Ford took over later and asked Neil to become team manager and promised to hold a benefit meeting for him while he still owned the club. Its not a 'testimonial' as such, its a 'benefit' meeting proposed by Matt Ford (first mentioned at the recent fan forum to unanimous applause) which I'm sure will be well supported by riders, fans and sponsors - and rightly so.

No doubt he'll find his form against Poole on Monday?!

2nd halves mean the bars will stay open later!
