I think edwards Starke Roynon have ridden for Dudley / Cradley but so has brennan so be fairer to have him in Heathens team??

I'm pretty sure they have a 9.45pm strict curfew and only allowed 20 something heats in any 7 day period or something like that. Fridays would never be allowed by The BSPL guvnor in CL as other Clubs will testfy. If you stand on the back straight the nearest houses are pretty close on a hill despite noise from the flyover. Why can't Poole ride any other days of the week as Mr Ford has claimed he can only ride Wednesdays or has he lied? Can't get enough staff on a Friday in September allegedly.

It's only logical really if as people have suggested Glasgow move up (their set up deserves highest level but they'd lose local derbies and I'm not sure the highest level is as interesting or competitive as CL) and if Edinburgh either can't get new Stadium sorted in time or more likely can't use Armadale for at least part of the season until it is ready. Then presumably Brennan as an asset would ride for Glasgow in top league and Pickering would need a Club in the CL too. Both then would have most weekends free for Poland or European International opportunities. I have to say whilst applauding everything Nigel and his new team have done that the losses he has admitted too very openly are just not sustainable in any sensible assessment. Ball park 150-200 k for 2021 has been quoted. Its possible costs may be cut more but I doubt either Brennan or Pickering would take a pay cut to ride for Brummies and may cost more than we have. I just can't see crowds rising substantially so the only option, which Nigel has mentioned would be to either bring in new Directors (he said two) or new Sponsorship (presumably by a new Promoter or Specialist - possibly Lee Kilby/ who is very popular at PB) Theres a lot of if's and but's there, IF Glasgow go up, if Edinburgh don't run and equally IF Brummies do run. I will enjoy some good riders on Wednesday and baiting the old enemy from dingle land and fingers crossed we will have Speedway at PB in 2023. Whatever happens Mr Tolley a massive THANK YOU, I suspect you've lost a small fortune and far more than envisaged and no one would blame you if you pulled stumps but as always no one sees the lots of things Owners and Promoters do right and just moan about dust and bumps and the occasional glitch. THANKS to ALL connected with Brummies in 2022. I haven't been to as many matches as i'd like, initially some by choice and latterly due to some unexpected family issues but its that time of year when you realise best to support while its there so I look forwards to purchasing a 2023 season ticket for the first time in many years and thank you for your efforts.

Actually you are COMPLETELY WRONG on that comment. Unlike Poole who started late' Plymouth if you check factually like I have just done have actually scheduled a TUESDAY Fixture every Tuesday since the last week in March! That is a fact. They ran 10 successive Tuesdays to early June. Had a rain off, on 7th June, lost Newcastle meeting on day before due on 21st June, rained off Glasgow initially on 28th June, rained off Redcar on 16th August and then Glasgow on 23rd August. Clear evidence of torrential rain on the 16th August and 28th June - (wasn't there an Arson issue for one of those meetings??) So their issues have rally been very late on leaving minimal chance to catch up.

Wasn't in any way referring to your question Rather the Poole originated innuendo winks and tripe that followed. I also hope Craig can come back fit and well, and lead Glasgow to some silverware.

My middle names not Martyr

Looks terrible in many parts all week. Only in Speedway Faff around for 3 weeks mid summer with a pointless regional Cup that they now decide to elongate when it could have actually been all done and dusted tomorrow b4 the rain sets in (at Sheffield)

Neil Given your experience and background. Don't you find it unusual, worrying that after Stuart Dickson resigned (from memory after a disagreement over what became the Rising Star project) that a Board that had been 5 members did not co-opt a 5th Board Member / Director? Would that in any business (not just sppedway) be a sensible quorum / number as then the chairman would have a casting vote rather than a vote and a casting vote in any 2/2 split. Not attacking RG at all as it would be the same with any Board with a Chairman with an even number of Members. Why not take the first step and apponit an independent Chairman - someone with a business background and an interest in the Sport but no Club alliegance at this time. A successful ex-Rider may be or even someone like Rob Painter?

It's not how you start its how you finish The damper and therefore deeper Autumn tracks will suit Charlie Wright, they can perm decent Guests for Riss and will always have 2 strong reserves perming Newman , Kasper , JJ and Jason. Redcar could just be peaking at the right time. Their track is actually probably just too fair to all so home advantage is not easy there. Good set up be great to see them win something.

Tens of millions buy Football Manager and FIFA games , doesn't make any of them Jurgen Klopp. If you could manage to get your head in to and out of the Dartford Tunnel may be you could enlighten more!

So you could have ridden KOC Final v Redcar or Jubilee Final v Glasgow and Leicester. But you prefer to ride Plymouth knowing very few adequate Guests available to them due to Denmark and Alan Grahame meeting. Bit shabby that. As others have said, perfect example of why the sport needs independent oversight and governance.

So you could have ridden home leg against winners on Wednesday night. You coukd have ridden home leg of Jubilee Cup - Glasgow would have been delighted as already at Plymouth on Tuesday night. Until the enforced change. So Jubillee Cup Final or KOC Final (or is it semi) could have been staged surely Finals are important and semis more important than quarters Discuss

Isn't it 5? Kennett Gilkes MPT Bowtell Hans Sorry to be pedantic

Promoted to the Board in his virgin season via a call from the Chateau. We await the hereditary promotions of the young Masters Godfrey, Louis and Bates clans in due course.

Exactly...

Oh here we go. The Forum Trolls / Bullies now turn their attention to Glasgow and more specifically one of the best british riders of his generation with innuendo and queries about why he is not riding. The "form / mantra" of these trolls is clear. That's why people as "why are Poole so hated" For the easily provable record Craig Cook has suffered a series of high speed crashes in recent months, has probably come back too soon from some of them and in almost all cases has been an innocent victim. Its bad enough at the comments made and some of the inferences, winks and nods. When the guy also has well documented and well know mental health issues about which he has been very honest, it really does make you realise how desperately sad these trolls are. People in glass houses really should not throw pebbles and stones, you never know a bloody great boulder may land on you at any time! Behave! Leave the guy alone. He's beaten up physically and taking time out to recover, hopefully to smash the daylights out of Poole where it matters on the track with big points.

Poole 90% sunday 80% Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday More thundery too Take more than an hour of waiting around to clear the slop off that

Not the first time you've concocted weather forecasts Google Plymouth weather 100% continual sometimes heavy rain Saturday 90% same forecast for Sunday and Monday and Tuesday Remarkably similar to Poole. Might be light rain for a bit on the afternoon but 96 hours of continual rain forecast to precede it. A sensible promotion probably call it Monday morning save printing programmes

Bomber is best on rutted bumpy or deep tracks. It's his background on Grass Tracks. He's a legend in that regard. He loves Poole it reminds him of the Cornish fields

Glasgow and Redcar are proper race tracks, Wimborne Road most definitely never been.

That and the fact Poole know that Plymouth will have to rely on mainly NDL riders on Wednesday with several options with Danish commitments and several others booked for Big Als meeting at PB the same night. Thats the reason the bullies are so desperate to rush things through.

On behalf of all minnows in all sports let's hope they aren't bullied in to organising against their wishes with 5 days notice when the big club bullies are playing stupid games. Besides the weather forecast suggests any match in the South on Tuesday and Wednesday is very likely to be washed out. What next, Poole trying to stage both legs?

Very enjoyable. Flint was class above on the night. Brennan wasn't 100% but I agree seems to be over racing a bit. Best I've seen Connor Bailey ride very impressed and best I've seen of the twins away from Leicester. Of the younger brigade stand out was Ace Pijper, wow... Clearly destined for big things. Kemp seems to be battling himself at the moment and on a plateau. Well done Laurence and the staff, excellent track and well staged.

Not what young Ford is telling people - no more spare nights (cant get staff allegedly) other than Wednesdays.

Looking at the weather forecasts from Saturday to Thursday there will probably be a few ducks there and no-body else #washout What will Danny do then as he allegedly has no other free dates before 31 October? Double Headers??..
