No point in having Sweet Caroline with all the mobile phone torchlights on. Its still light!!!

Been there, done that. What's your point?

I'm sure 'BackInTheDHSS' will still go along this evening - even if there is no meeting on Cheetahs usual race day!

Watch out, watch out, the Gav's about!! (Oh silly me its a Poole thread, Duh) One race per meeting doesn't do it for me!

Yes I shall miss seeing GP-level 2nd string Janowski behind Championship riders Harris and Wright in the August averages! Not!

So a Championship 2nd string becomes a Premiership 3rd heat leader for August. Go Zach!!

Was that also 'the problem' in 2021 and 2022? Asking for a friend!

Yep, cost being the main reason and racing on your preferred raceday. Ps. No crashes at Cowley then??!! Pps. What are the odds of Oxford NOT doing all 3 leagues in 2025.

How I get my 'wow' factor is entirely up to me. Watching Lawson, Brennan and Ben Cook against other heat leaders of similar standard is far better than watching Emil half a lap in front of various 'rising stars'. Each to their own as long as they still attend.

I think Karlito may have to play a bit of AC/DC!!

Not public knowledge yet is it?

Must be all that old Monmore shale Poole purchased.

Thanks for buying the Pirates TV streams otherwise how would you know? Extra income always appreciated. You should try it.........

Think you'll find that's more to the south east.

Anyway, extra incentive for the Tigers tomorrow - to stop Pirates reaching 41 home meetings unbeaten since June 2022!

As you regularly demonstrate!! Anyway with all this talk about Poole going back up, why did Glasgow not go up after winning the league last year and with their 'super facilities' and 'super racing'? Was it because they didn't want to run Mons/Thurs? Just like Poole then?!

Brum CAN continue (as announced last night) and Poole won't be going back up.

Panthers could surely still return in 2025 at the Showground, initially in Championship say, as a weekend operation with the basics of a track - a bit like Workington, to start with. Then build upwards from there...........?

Still no confirmation that Thomsen has fully recovered from his ankle injury last week, and no official news of a guest standing by (although lots of rumours) so I guess it could be r/r at 2. If its r/r that'll mean Tobias gets another week of recovery before coming back at reserve v Scunny on 7th!

Each to their own. The Prem meetings I have seen on tv or stream haven't produced any more exciting racing than those in Championship - in some cases a heck of a lot worse! Still as many processional races because there aren't so called 'top' riders in every race. But as I've said each to their own.

Subject to fitness. As for Barker let's hope he uses the same 'lawn mower' engine as the weekend!!

The team strengths may be less due to points limits but the racing/ atmosphere has been just as good imo. But I accept others have a different point of view. For example is Championship racing at Glasgow or Redcar any worse??

Why is it a weaker product? Admission prices will always increase, albeit slightly because most other costs also increase, Attendances seem to suggest that most fans are happy with what they are seeing each week.

At least you'll be able to see for yourself!!

Bomber is not fully fit with his knee injury which he hurt again in another crash yesterday doing grasstrack/longtrack. He then goes straight to Sweden for 2 meetings before Poole on Wednesday. Whispers that Drew Kemp is guesting for Worrall. Possibly r/r or Danyon Hume for Tobias.
