Every point matters, especially Starkes solitary 1 last night .Well done both sides.

A brilliant meeting for the neutral, a heart pounder for Tigers and Pirates fans. Glasgow did what I expected them to do and started to take control of the meeting until HT 15 when their momentum stopped. After seeing Howarth looking so rattled in the pits after finishing last in 15 I thought surely he would be replaced. A 2nd and 3rd repeat in the super heat would have been enough but Cook and Lawson finished in style. Much has been said about the first leg track conditions, but why on earth would Poole set up the track to suit Glasgow? First look at Ashfield tonight before the meeting was as predicted, outside chopped up and super grippy for Harris. Nobody would have expected anything less. I rarely post these days , but it is always a pleasure to look in every now and then and enjoy reading the displeasure of the Pirates continued success from the anti Poole brigade. Up the Pirates

Thanks for the heads up . Yes that is definitely a better deal at the moment! I didn't mind the prospect of paying 6.99 as paid more for the monthly roller bt sport subscription.

When I looked just before Xmas, if you have an Amazon Prime account you can subscribe to Discovery + through that for an additional 6.99 per month. Perfect for people like me who doesn't have a sky or bt box!

That I believe unfortunately is out of Poole Speedway's control as they are not the primary lease holder's. For that to happen things would have to change hands . Agree there could be so much more use of the stadium with right people over seeing it.

Thank you!

I have just submitted this . Please make your voices heard . I agree that Poole needs to be regenerated as I feel the town has fallen by the wayside in some areas, such as the bus station & High Street. However, I am extremely concerned about the future of Poole Speedway and Poole Stadium in your Local Plan . The Poole Pirates have been a popular sporting attraction to the town since the 1940's. They are an extremely successful club who have won multiple trophies over the years and the sport is extremely popular in the County and further afield, attracting fans from around the UK to the area to spend their holidays whilst watching the sport. Speedway is very much a family sport. Many of my family members have enjoyed the racing since the Pirates inception, which has been passed down. As an avid fan of the club and the sport as a whole, I sincerely believe any notion to remove Poole Stadium as a sporting venue, resulting in the club folding and thus removing an entertainment facility which the town lacks, would be a serious detrimental negative impact to your Local Plan and the local community. I would like to also take the opportunity to remind you that Poole Stadium was left as a gift to the people of Poole by the Lord & Lady Wimborne to be used as a sporting venue. Therefore, it is my opinion that the venue should be exempt from redevelopment for anything other than to improve the current facilities. Kind Regards, Jason C

If I could ask people to take a look at this topic regarding Poole Stadium when they have moment it would be appreciated. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/91191-poole-stadium-possible-future-redevelopment/

Apologies if this is a duplicate thread. As some of you may be aware, the land on which Poole Stadium stands has been ear marked for future redevelopment in the BCP Councils Local Plan to regenerate the town and surrounding areas. Now is the chance until March 7th for people to have their say on the notion. If any of you could please spare 5/10 minutes of your time & make your voices heard in support of the club and speedway as a sport in helping to preserve the stadiums status as a sporting venue it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. https://haveyoursay.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/localplan

Agreed, although in the last replay I felt Brennan perhaps looked a bit out of control after hitting the apex of turn 3 and couldn't do much about it as basso was there.

Zach replaces Ben as I thought. In theory a stronger pairing...

I also have looked him up and saw that he has beaten the likes of Ellis & Berge over in France. That sounds encouraging, but as you say it is totally different over here. Fingers crossed!

Go easy... It's been while since I've posted here & forgotten how many anglers are lurking about

Which means absolutely nothing due to the standard of both leagues being relatively the same & the fact Poole decided to step down after sitting top of the league in 2019

Rip Danny, will never forget this race with bomber. True grit

Interesting, thanks for the link. Speedway gp website has conflicting information then it seems? https://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/8043/becker-into-sgp-qualifiers

Gino Manzares has just won a visa...

Oops obviously didn't think that through, had 5 in my head for some reason! All the same, it doesn't leave much for the last 3.

Going for the steam roller effect this year it seems. If we are signing Ellis, it leaves a bit over 7pts for the last two? Who they are will be key & whether they are capable of picking off the other teams reserves.

Said earlier he cannot wait to get started

As long as he scores lots of points it doesn't matter where

He's paid very well nowadays to not have to travel I imagine, but will manage to have a moan somewhere. Money is what it comes down to, if it is worth there while, it fits with other commitments etc then a rider will travel.
