Doyle joins Zielona Gora!!

Best wishes to Mrs Rosco (Julie) who goes into hospital for an op today. Get well soon Julie (I hate to think of Rosco in the kitchen on his own!!)

What they achieved is a heat leader list that they all agreed to so that team building could commence with the agreed maximum of 3 per team from the list. Who exactly has been disadvantaged by it?? A few disgruntled forumers whose alternative formula wasn't used and who rarely attend meetings anyway!! The poor language is uncalled for though - probably why they don't bother much with this forum!!

Testimonial announced for Chris Holder for his 'services to Speedway'. Not sure when he wants to hold it?

Isn't it a bit strange that the asset system has never been challenged in law?! Not sure exactly who would benefit one way or the other? It doesn't seem to make a huge difference to the riders; and if enough promoters were against it surely they would be the ones to challenge it?!

PL was Workington, Edinburgh and Newcastle.

Its no skin off my nose whether people believe me or not! I posted in an earlier post that Dak wasn't fussed about coming back. That included as I said only being offered a squad place in the Polish 2nd tier, quite apart from the uncertainty (at the time) of an EL place. The fact that Rybnik, his Polish club are now very unexpectedly in the top league and offering Polish Tier 1 wages, together with his Danish contract on top, all adds to why he has changed his mind. If people think I'm making this stuff up then theres not much I can do about it. Those that know me know that I have sponsored at Poole for many years and Swindon back in the day! (the team, riders, meetings, heats etc) and as such often get told things that the average fan might not be told - much of which I would never put on forums such as this! Apologies Swindon fans for taking up this thread. I think Dak will do fine for you - especially if he stays as a 2nd string, as that is when he was at his most effective for Poole.

Its only a referees' award!! What do they know?! Shame there isn't a Riders' award for best track?!

So, is Blackbird in the team or not??

Well done to Wolves, being voted Best Track by the SCB referees again. 2nd - Swindon 3rd - Leicester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????

There is an updated and more positive tweet from Jayne Havelock today apparantly!! (I'm not on Twitter!)

No wriggling from me. I know what I know and I know what I was told from the 'horse's mouth'!! Of course he was a bit put out at not being part of Poole's 2016 plans and at the time was part of his reasoning for giving 2016 a miss. Anyone can have their mind changed by new circumstances!!

Havvy's wife Jayne has posted a more encouraging message on twitter.

In any case, Kyle Newman imposed a fine on himself in the final as he donated his goggles to the Belle Vue Fans on the 1st/2nd bend at Wimborne Road. A very constructive gesture imho.

Best wishes to Havvy and Jayne from the South Coast!

OK I must be wrong then!!?

Pure putty I would think!!!!!

He can't wear boxing gloves - he wouldn't be able to get the tissues out the box or off the roll!!

Great news.

There is also a story going around that Motorcycle Australia (MA) have had to substantially cut funding to all Aussie Team competitions as well as to certain individuals. This is directly due to a reduction in funding to MA by the Australian Sports Commission!! MA are seeking sponsors as an alternative funding source. If I can find a decent authoratative link, I'll post it.

Thanks E I Addio, thats exactly what I was trying to say. You clearly have a better way of putting it than I do!

Your crystal ball is once again clouded over and giving out distorted info with the usual 'Brandon Bias'. Never mind eh?!

Well said Sherborne Green!! If only..........

Irrelevant to whom?? The promoters all agreed to it, with all its flaws!! I'm not trying to say that it is an accurate assessment, simply trying to understand how the list was drawn up?! This particular attempt at trying to provide some sort of 'equalisation' between 8 EL clubs, is in many ways no different to past seasons when new rules to regulate the number of heatleaders per team have been brought in eg only 2x 7+ riders; only 1 x 8+ rider etc. Whatever the new rules are for each season - and whenever they are agreed - all promoters have the same equal opportunity (other than different race nights!!) to get their fingers out and start their team-building.

A good choice - and another loan fee for Poole!!
