I remember the late Cyril Hart, who used to do the Poole match reports and for a while was also the Poole PRO. He used to sit behind us in the grandstand and clarified a lot of the rules when we first started going in the mid-eighties!

subject to change!!!!

Nor in the EL!!!

From comments made by referee Mick Posselwhite at the Poole fans forum, it would seem that all referees are going to warn riders about returning to the pits after a restart is called!!!

Can't see any full stops - just a couple of 'iffy' question marks at the end of sentences that aren't questions!!

I think it was shown last year on 'Transworld Sport' or something similar.

probably only once you've gone in through the turnstyles!!!!!

Engine tuners!! Bring on Formula 2 Speedway!!

I don't think they have one at Brandon!

Come to Wimborne Road then!!

Me too, and now that Virgin Media are owned by the USA's Liberty Cable, watch the competition with Sky get much fiercer!! Should be better all round for the consumer too!

Its still all going to be about what people have to do/watch etc on a Saturday rather than a Monday or midweek night!!

Thought it was to be on 'Speed TV'? Whatever that is....!?

Thanks Philip. I was just going from something on facebook!!!!!!!

Sounds as though Nigel and Kelvin will at least be covering the NZ GP!! Not sure about the others yet.

Not if you're a Virgin cable customer - all inclusive already!

Eurosport confirmed a 3 year SGP deal!!

With repeats at 10.30 am (Eurosport2) and 21.00 hours

On Eurosport twitter yesterday it said the only Speedway currently 'confirmed' were the Euro Championship rounds starting in July!!

24,825 copies per day but 110474 per day when the online views are added!!!

Was that Glasgow asset there too!??

Didn't realise Woffy was in charge of the prizes??!!

Agreed 110%!! Another thing, at many (most?) speedway tracks, its not the speedway promoter that gets the beer and refreshment money, its the stadium owner!!

Poole have a Twitter feed which also gives race by race updates of home and away Poole meetings. They also encourage fans into the pits up to 30 minutes before start time (I know some other clubs also encourage this), but these are both things for existing fans!!! To attract new fans - no matter what their age - it has to be about entertainment, excitement, controversy(?!) and value for money (ie cheaper than it is at the moment) - but that will mean a major reduction in costs to riders, which in turn would mean lower wages and savings that can be passed on to fans, either by cheaper admission and/or extra attractions !! The thing with 'other attractions' is that it would need to be a range of different things aimed at the variable age groups - one man's marching band is another man's torture!!

Very surprised there were that many forum members in attendance??!!
