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

Full series here.

Adam Ellis? Reserve in the PL. Heat leader in the Championship. Nick Morris? what would Chris Holders average be? Would be a hugely popular signing though probably too high. Rew? Blodorn? Becker? Just pulling names.

A good signing for them.

No way Matt would have Kerr and Starke back. And Bowes is not a name I would consider as very forward thinking. If we do go with Bailey, Rushen and Cairns we need experience above them to cover for when they are struggling. Otherwise we will have a long wagging tail. Would Scott Nicholls be a candidate for the second heat leader or is pushing 50 the new pushing 30? Scott is still a force to be reckoned with in the Championship. Very professional and his career form has only dropped a bit. Personally no. Rather have young up and coming or a rider still in their prime. Jeppersen? Though Wednesdays could be an issue.

So who is the team moving up to the Premiership? Can only think it’s Glasgow as the owner has virtually unlimited funds. With the points limit in the top flight at 36 points there will be riders available.

Glad you think he is not a cheat. Because if you were hinting he was cheating would be libellous and you would be open to huge financial payments.

Thought we were lethargic from the start. Kerr was rubbish, Rowe struggled, Lawson has been brilliant but the last three meetings he has been off his best. Bye to Tobias, Kerr, Starke and by the look of it after heat 15, Zack Cook. As for heat 14, no way was Starke beating Scott. Now having seen Thomsens crash, he lifted, jerked the handle bars and lost the front wheel. Tried to recover but no way of saving it and off he came. Just needed to be smoother and the crash wouldn’t have happened. Hope he is not badly injured and makes a good recovery. End of the day Redcar got their reward for perseverance. Battled all night. So we end up with the big one, the league, plus the KO Cup. Considering how the team has ridden for the majority of the season, that is a remarkable achievement. We will start again in 2026 with a very different looking team. Bring it on!

Just got back. Well done to Redcar no complaints from the Poole fans. Such very very fine margins. If poor Tobias had made it over the line Pirates would have been celebrating the treble. Just one of those nights but I feel the team were complacent. Special mention for Jody Scott who put it all out there, an inch from the fence. Certainly a rider on an upward trajectory. Redcar got a very warm reception from all the Poole fans when they went over to their fans after heat 14. Poole fans really are the best out there.

Well done Redcar. Congratulations on the BSN cup. No complaints we had run out of juice.

Expecting a lengthy delay. Best wishes to Tobias.

Surprised tassels are allowed in speedway they could pull an arm into a wheel. And to answer your question, it’s Poole.

Sensible call. Friday looks a lot better.

NOOOOOOO! Going to see Rick Wakeman in Bournemouth on Saturday night. King Arthur and Six Wives concert. Won’t miss that (and the fact I paid £55 for the privilege!) Latest forecast is NOT good. Rain, heavy, tomorrow evening.

Unbelievable you guys don’t put that absolute melt Gavan on block. The guys an absolute twonk and proves it time after time after time. He really does have a screw loose and proves it with every moronic post of his. I blocked him years ago and let him rant into the cyber void like the mentalist he shows us he is. I came on here and saw his post in a response. Just Block him. It’s quite simple to do.
