Poole already top the table.

They were pretty strong at Redcar too! Fair play to the Bearz though. They kept Poole honest early on.

Darcy being interviewed centre green.what a reception from the big crowd!

Rearranged for Friday 25th August at 7pm. First part of a double header.

They are saying its r/r (as at Plymouth!) - nobody wants to guest against Poole!

r/r - unless theres a last minute surprise! PS. Tonight's Rider of the Night Award will be chosen by a Piratecast twitter poll amongst fans at the stadium

Loads of centregreen activity at Plymouth last night. Sponsors and guests were allowed centregreen last week at Poole. We shall see...........! Danny Ford has not mentioned anything!

...is it raining?

With the distinct probability of fewer teams next year, then team building plans will be very different and team building points limit will prompt a real discussion whether 2 leagues or just one!

Is Rory fit enough?

With r/r in operation there could be more time between heats so could take a bit longer than usual. In this Piratecast-sponsored meeting I shall be vacating my usual grandstand seat and joining the guests for some hospitality in the glass restaurant/stand. Not a favourite viewing position but I guess once a season is ok - still get to see the pits early and see some heats from centregreen. COYP. I still think this will be a tight meeting, having watched the 'depleted' Bears at Plymouth last night, they were gating very well, although Glads were probably a little 'ring rusty'!

The Poole/SGP DJ plays Rocketman every time Richard wins a race, so it's played quite a lot! It adds to the great atmosphere at Poole meetings. Each visiting team has its own music played on the parade as each team enters the centregreen. Sweet Caroline is also belted out before heat 15!

And Wright is missing tonight and tomorrow for Redcar

A bit short notice - and it is a long way!

I think he meant as Dan is not riding tonight for Plymouth due to his shoulder injury then he won't be riding Wednesday either.

Not at all Lewy - just be nice to see them race on a nice smooth, well-prepared track, (You must have forgotten what thats like at Plymouth?) but he'll be at Birmingham as I've said.

Done and posted on Speedway around the Bend on FB

Charles Wright missing his Tuesday and Wednesday meetings due to his leg injury!

I'm sure Rocketman would love it to be Barker!!! (But yes Barker is due to be at Birmingham.)

Although I don't agree about Worralls focus, I do still agree it could well be a very close meeting with the result going either way.

Well he'll have to do better than previously!!!!! Lets hope he comes through tonights British Final unscaythed!!

Joe Thompson guests for Adam Roynon

Adam Ellis to get 2nd place behind Bewley but claims the British GP wild card, yet picks up a riding injury before 2nd Sept!

Not sure who is guesting yet? Complin is down to guest at Plymouth on Tuesday, so maybe as he's down this way anyway?!

46-44 will get the win and the bonus point. Then all the 'gaters paradise' carp will start again.
