Rescheduled for Weds 16th August. Suspension remains in place until at least then. Brummies continue to have a facility!

Probably a lot of sense in that!!

Now that would be taking the pi$$!!

Don't you mean "No...err uhm....doubt about...err uhm... that"?

Sheffield have their own issues - especially over stadium availability

Certainly was the correct decision to postpone early. Its been persistently steady raining since around 4pm ish.

Oh ho ho ho.

So Mr Dickson's plan to use Alfie Bowtell for upto 7 rides a meeting won't last long then as Starkey drops to reserve in August!

Ian, what are the official reasons for that?

Depends which way its facing!!

Lewis Kerr (5.73) drops to reserve (when fit) in August.

The last time that Anders will be at 2 and Kyle at 6 - at least for a month!!?

SCB hearing was to be this week I believe, but now rescheduled to 16/8

At least the Morris/guest situation should become clearer by the new date with his SCB hearing scheduled for tomorrow (unless it's rained off)! Incidentally the new averages for August show Morris back in the Brummies 1-7. (and Starke dropping to reserve?!)!!

Didn't Pirates TV use a drone on P&P day?

There was originally a whisper that August 30th might be a 75th Anniversary meeting? In fact it did appear on the initial BSPL fixture list but isn't there now.

Because theyd promised Worrall his testimonial and Matt Ford wouldnt renege on it when the points limit was dropped from 42 to 40 points.

That's as much down to the management then. When he rode for Poole last year he not only team rode but also topped the averages with Worrall.

As third heat leader, one might question why he's in heats13 and 15??

His 2 wins in the BSN Series were in heats where Steve Worrall and Ben Cook respectively both fell!!!

They were allowed a facility - guests upto 75% of the riders average. Despite being forced into accepting the rearranged fixture in the first place.

Probably Dickson s way of ensuring Bowtell gets his 7 rides. Schlein, Sedgman, Neilsen, Batchelor, Starke, Hagon, Bowtell.

The successful teams are often kept hanging around by opponents who can't/don't complete their fixtures on time or won't agree fixture dates due to rider availability.

You can still achieve that in the seated areas as long as you dont leave it til 7.30 to get in! There's not really any decent positions around the stadium bends to sit without the risk of people standing and blocking your view. There is the area at track level in front of the grandstand on the home straight - several wheelchair users are positioned there amongst those standing. Not sure what the attendance will be like although Poole haven't had a home meeting for a fortnight and it is the school hols and the first opportunity to welcome back the BSN Series Champions!! Enjoy.

Don't think you,ll need a camping chair as there is plenty of unreserved seating either in the main grandstand or behind glass in the backstraight stand built for the now non-existent greyhounds.
