Commercial Manager??? Who was that then? Poole have taken on a designer and a media agency!!

No I meant last year SWC!!

Swedes don't have team race suits and I don't see them being criticised. Even some countries didn't have team suits in the old WTC.

So just for clarification on this Poole thread, are Somerset having racesuits or not, Naijer?? Its Poole's 70th Anniversary year so a 70th Anniversary race bib with main sponsors front and back is a sensible option for this season. Many of Poole's sponsors also do individual deals with riders so expect rider kevlars to be suitably adorned also.

Very few promoters have a rider in the GPs!! and those that do probably can't afford the Cardiff prices?!

Fogo look as though they'll be missing Piotr Pawlicki due to injury!!

Should have got Glyn Taylor in to sort it!!! lol

One signing still to be announced!!

Major resurfacing road works from mid-March scheduled for Wimborne Road meaning one way traffic only from the George Pub roundabout. The southbound Wimborne Road route from the New Inn junction all the way to the George roundabout will be CLOSED. Work starts 12th March and will last approx 3 weeks - longer if there's bad weather!! The club are advising fans to park in the Dolphin Shopping Centre car park and walk to the stadium for P&P day; the 70th Anniversary meeting (Gates open 17.30 with a prompt start time of 1900 hrs) - and possibly the Good Friday meeting too.

As for your last sentence - there are quite a few fans of a similar opinion!!!

Are the 2018 rules and regs available now??

Unfortunately I'll not be there.

You would think there are more than enough spanners in and around Swindon to help him out - at least judging by this forum!!

Nick Morris is looking for a locally-based mechanic for the coming season!!!

It always helps having 'contacts' with the SCB!!!!

Just because the report about the track repairs (with photos) only appeared last Tuesday, 27th Feb, doesn't mean that the work was only just done!!

It'll be interesting to see whether Chris Holder favours the Torun meeting or Poole's 70th Anniversary meeting and Gala Dinner (23/24 March), for which its been announced that he is attending?!

Most football clubs have more than enough money to pay the tax man!!

The track work carried out by Glyn Taylor has reportedly been done in consultation with Matt and Chris Holder. Chris is reported to be very pleased with it. Seeing it first hand before the snow and ice arrived, it looked smooth and pristine with a tad more banking?!

According to the SS today, Team GB is to be 'franchised out' to a private entity rather than BSPA. It would seem that Rob Painter of Revolution Speedway is the frontrunner for the franchise, with the BSPA's insistence that Rosco remains Team Manager - at least for this coming season. Comments........?!

Yes agree. I noticed that too!!

Yes thats the usual date each year.

Certainly Matt is getting the seats done with the stadium's permission (and gratitude?!) - its not new seating, just sprucing up the existing!! Don't know if its reflected in the rental charges?! Matt referred to 'major' changes in the future (not 2018) but wouldn't be drawn on anything more specific!!

The rules for 2018 aren't published/approved yet!!

Anyway back to the 'Poole 2018' thread - the track looked really smooth when I was down there yesterday. Glyn Taylor is just hopeful that it can fully dry out before any heavy rain/snow comes! As previously mentioned the start/finish line has been moved back 6 metres, as the old position meant that riders were beginning to turn for the first bend over the gate 4 position. Chris Holder although 4th in the average pecking order - will occupy a 'heat leader' berth. ie. probably 5, with Josh G probably starting off at 2.!! Stadium improvements include the season ticket seats being improved. Other changes are ongoing.
