Majority on here seem very negative towards this new venture. A shame really as they need to have fans behind them. Peterborough, Birmingham and Coventry are lost and fans could easily head over to Northampton to give their support. I wish them all the best in this venture. It’s going to be hard to start from scratch in a town not known for speedway. Hopefully the locals will come out to see what it’s all about and a fanbase can be built. Good luck to them.

Well I have just paid up. £38.99 a month for 7 months is a no brainer as it’s the only way to watch UK speedway other than attending. It’s far better than Eurosport for production and the commentators know what they are talking about. Looking forward to seeing what the first batch of matches will be.

Only just caught this sad news. Always had a good chat and some great banter with Terry every time we saw each other. Very likeable bloke and a sad loss. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP>

I think BSN is brilliant. Hope they continue to grow and expand.

Good for you Kevin. But I don’t think I know you. I have been home and away for the last 40 years. Surprised we haven’t crossed paths. But like I said, last season I have had health issues which have restricted my travels. Next season I will hopefully get away a bit more.

Yes. Since 1985. Home and away. Though I missed a few last season through health issues. Yourself? I ardently support the Pirates but I am not blinkered and if I don’t like something I will say it.

Good rider and late developing but in the twilight of his career.

Riding against a strong Poole once or twice a year at Wimborne Road is a world away from riding for Poole at Wimborne Road every week. I took serious note of Dan Gilkes when he was riding for Sittingbourne a few years ago. Thought he was stylish and impressive. His career has never developed as it should have through injury or riding for a poor team. Last season at Poole he had what looked like an innocuous fall on the 4th bend which looked nothing but ended with his season curtailed. He has been working on his fitness and is back to where he wants to be. I am confident he will do a very good job for us once he has learnt the setups and quickest way around Wimborne Road. Previous scores are pretty irrelevant.

Maybe if he or his crew serviced/looked after his engines they wouldn’t have had so many EF’s which cost him and the team victories. And his performance at Poole in the BSN final was diabolical and cost Poole a trophy.

A decent 1-7 should be battling for all trophies again. Kerr needs to prove to himself that he can show better form than last season.

May as well give the title to Glasgow right now. Even Cami knickers can’t mess this up. Question is, will they manage the treble? Clear favourites by the proverbial mile. Hearing the Faccenas have ordered a large pot of Brasso.

Saw enough of him last season to know he isn’t the answer. Disappointed he is coming back.

Unjustified? Fully deserved! He was absolutely awful for a big chunk of the season. Not sure he will improve on that. I wouldn’t have had him back, but I am not the promoter.

So many Glasgow fans on the Poole thread. Are they worried about the team Matt and Danny are putting together? Our lineup is looking good if a tad inexperienced. The two other heat leaders need to have that experience to back up Lawson and give advice to at least two riders who are new to the league. Going to be a fun 2026.

Anyone know where it was filmed and who the riders were
