Did the track get very dusty?

Surely its more about who is prepared to pay Horton whatever price he may be asking for the Promoter licence - especially if NL level speedway is the only option?! Or is Horton's licence only applicable for running Premiership speedway?!

I make it 15 and 3 but who's counting? - at least all 3 in the SGBP will get paid!!

I know that - which means he couldn't drop the Czech League as its his domestic league. ps. Is there a link for the Milik broken leg news? I've missed that today!!

I thought the Polish Extraleague ruling was a max of 2 other leagues - one of which must be the rider's domestic league?!

KK has only ridden 4 SGBP meetings (1H/3A) so depending on when he is fit to return he will probably retain his starting 11.08 average until the end of June!! If MF replaces more than just KK then that is a re-declaration which must come under the 42 point limit once the team have done 4H/4A (7/06 home v Wolves) which won't come into effect til 21st June anyway. Plenty of time to sort out options.

I never thought I'd ever write this but.........Go on Gav replay to my post.

So were the clues ok??!

FFS is this still rumbling on?? The track last Wednesday was a distinct improvement on previous weeks with no or very very little dust until late in the meeting. I would think that anyone choosing to stand on any bend at any track is highly likely to get 'shaled' from as early as heat 1 whether the track is dry/wet or has lots/not much shale. Of course its their choice to stand/sit where they choose but if its really that bad then go sit/stand somewhere else along with all the others who sit/stand in the same place who clearly think the same??! or not.

Kacper top scores with 11+2 in Gdansk's away win today!! Still worth a place in any non-weekend British club!!

All riders had an assessed or 'manufactured' average for 2017 based on last season's scores and race format depending which league they raced in. Hence 4H/4A under this year's race format being the point at which new 'actual' 2017 CMAs are created.

So Coventry could just about afford 3 or 4 of them then?! ;-) (joke!!)

One of the BSPA rules states that if a club wants to redeclare their 1-7, any rider that hasn't done their 4H/4A meetings can have their CMA reassessed by the BSPA MC, based on scores to date!! That is presumably why current rider averages are shown on the BSPA website. Well he wouldn't be in the same team would he?

The Gomolski/Garrity change is as much to do with future fixture availability as it is about recent performance, I feel!!

Piles of it with a copper's offspring possibly??!

Good to see and hear the progress!!

Its not just at Poole though is it? Complaints about the amount/type of shale are rife at Kings Lynn, Somerset, Rye House........

ooh I haven't had a jump on my post for quite a while!! :-)

Just going back to any potential changes in Poole's line-up, as far as Shanes is concerned lets not forget that each team has to retain at least 2 British riders that rode or are qualified to ride in the NL!!

I think Kerr may be heading south westwards!!!

A little surprised there has been no mention of Munkebo's demise?!

....and in which heat!!!! Oh...oooppss! ps. Great to hear that Ellis Perks is not as badly injured as first thought. No breaks but bad bruising etc. Hoping to be back for the Somerset meeting on 19th May.

One poster giving his interpretation of some of MF's comments in the programme notes! Hardly a crowd demo is it?! Bearing in mind those programme notes were written soon after the home defeat by Swindon its no surprise Matt felt the team to be only just above average. 2nd in the Premiership will do me come September (or maybe July 31st?! ) Incidentally the Polish Extraleague rule allows riders to ride in up to 2 other leagues- one of which has to be the rider's domestic league, so I can't see Milik giving up on the Czech fixtures any time soon!! That's why I suggested Sweden would have to be dropped if UK became an option.

You must be reading something on the Poole forum that I can't see!! No reference to big changes by Matt or any of the posters - in fact Matt has stated that he's going to stick with KK and is confident he'll get it together!! I would suggest that the 2 riders referred to by Matt are Milik and a.n.other not affected by Poland's 3 league rules. After all maybe its not totally out of the realms of possibility that riders could drop Sweden - especially if they are not being paid as promised. Wasn't it Indianerna that NKI, Antonio and Freddie had all sorts of financial issues with last year?! Alternatively with Munkebo (Felstead?) in the Danish league going bust yesterday, other riders may be freed up?! (Hans is now out of a Danish league team)

Very sad. Only met him once when we used to travel up to Blunsdon on Saturday nights. Nice guy. R.I.P.
