Don't agree about KJP and feel he would do ok riding at number two.

Well done Edinburgh on running a very prompt meeting on a cold wet night.

If you continue to do what you've always done you'll continue to get what you always got - nothing! We really need a different approach and stronger reserves for once. Particularly as Poole may be going down this route. They're widely expected to have Cairns, Rushen, Lightfoot and Harrison who come to around 22 points. Lawson for 8 takes them to 30 leaving them plenty of scope for the two reserves

Indeed. Meeting off until next Friday. Will Nick Morris still be the Tigers guest as he's at Plymouth in the cup final the following night

Is there a bit of a chicken and egg situation? Which comes first the eight teams league or the TV deal? Both seem to rely on each other and is there a danger of being stuck in limbo?

Only affects riders racing in the top two Polish divisions with quite a few riding in tier three and not subject to the embargo. Without checking I think only D Thompson, Rowe and McDiarmid are likely to miss out on doubling up next year

Rowe is Glasgow's guest tonight

Agree with you and that's why I said it's being suggested - by someone on FB that looked to be a pal of Loftus. They really won't have many options and RR can't be used as they are running that for Harrison

Hodders average is well over 3 even with the British reduction at 3.31

If RR for Harrison then Pickering can have six rides. It's being suggested that Loftus guests in place of Hook. Jenkins isn't available as he's on paternity leave

What points limit are you working to? The five you mentioned probably come to over 36. We really need a line up with two heat leaders and two strong reserves, rather than our obsession with top heavy teams

Mario back on Friday. Let's hope it's dry

It's Mitchell Davey all over again. Each year there's a feeling, possibly a fear, that next year might be the year he really makes it stick. Same with Freddy, some improvement year on year, and the feeling we'd miss our by not re signing him. Possibly Oxford may be after him following his paid max down there in the summer

Sadly we haven't actually won much in the last ten years.

And there's the Ben Fund collection and a junior match to fit in as well as Promoters Bain statement on the clubs future.

Still more entertaining than most meetings at Poole.

Not sure that the Tigers are good at handling young riders. Boughen was another who didn't seem to fit in/ be part of the team. Pijper tells of there being too much pressure at Glasgow and how he is more settled at Redcar. Bickley possibly another and Berge perhaps as well.

Lets hope it's not off tonight otherwise there will be a fixtures log jam with BSN covering a meeting each night next week.

Well yes I do, particularly if he's riding again on the continent and isn't going to ride for us. Would this mean we are stuck with an NDL guest? That wouldn't be good.

Might this see young Polish riders coming to ride in the Premiership next year to aid their development. Older supporters may remember an influx of young Swedes in 1967 with Michanek, Harryson and Holmquist all coming over

Gawd it's bad enough when Championship riders get spirited away for some Euro under age meeting without losing them to the British versions too.

Because neither team had a fixture. The question should be why wasn't it raced last night.

Wouldn't have arisen if Poole had raced Edinburgh last night!

Can the riders currently doubling up but not riding in Poland earn enough by just riding in the Premiership? How does the Premiership benefit by the gap being wider? It's not a must.

Certainly isn't turning out to benefit Kye Thomsen who is now going to miss a meeting with Sheffield now restaging their home meeting against Northampton on the same night (September 16) as the Monarchs are at Poole
