  1. Plus will Chris Holder get a reduction on his 7.16 average for not riding here for a few years?
  2. I think there would be an interest if more ‘top’ poles returned to UK racing.
  3. So according to Middlo, team plans for 2020 is well underway!
  4. 14-17th November I heard but could be wrong!
  5. Will Chris Holder have a work permit by then? I would certainly have Bomber!
  6. I shall certainly be there for this one! It’s a long winter of no speedway, so even though it’s a meaningless fixture will be good to see some action, think there will be a few changes though! Be nice if Matt can release a name for the 2020 season at this meeting.
  7. Well done Ipswich, fully deserved. Nicolai, Josh & Nico can hold their heads high. As pretty much has happened 95% of the time this year when it matters our 2 other Aussies fail to perform, time to ship them out.
  8. Congrats to Poole for finishing top of the league :) Looking forward to some very tough play off meetings ahead, the first hurdle being Ipswich who will be a different animal Monday. It’s not going to be easy over 2 legs but I hope we can push on and reach the final.
  9. BT’s loss, they wouldn’t have had to put a massive amount more on the table. They knew the Eurosport offer and could have easily matched it. I don’t believe the polish sponsors will materialise.
  10. Somerset look very likely now and maybe Sheffield depending on the new owners there.
  11. In the 5 year deal I hope there is a clause that allows clubs to live feed, obviously not when Eurosport are at the stadium. We were restricted with the Sky deal as they would not allow any live streaming.
  12. More competition for Sky & BT is always good. Eurosport is more of a free channel so more people will be able to watch without the high monthly charges of Sky Sports & BT Sports.
  13. I think we will do ok! It’s going to be tough, Swindon & Wolves are coming into great form at the right time, but if we all click on the night anything is possible. This year has been interesting, with Matt’s interests elsewhere and Danny’s maiden year I think he has taken his eye off the ball when it comes to riders available. I know for a fact that our riders have approached Matt with recommendations for possible replacements for Ritchie. Some we’re blocked because of Poland and others not considered. Wells isn’t a rider Poole would normally go for, money comes into play I know but don’t think THJ comes cheap even though he was riding at Berwick too!! For me he was a risk and at present a risk that isn’t paying off, he simply isn’t the rider he was. I think we have been spoilt over the years with riders, and when the eye is taken off the prize at times it shows up much more!
  14. If Wells has stood down we won’t see him Monday. Best options for reserve Lasse Bjerre with his championship average?
  15. So if Wells isn’t fit, 7 days prior to the playoffs the club can sign a replacement rider? Is that still the case as before?
  16. THJ should be a solid signing, although I still feel we are 1 rider short. Wells is struggling at times which would be a big concern for me if I was Matt!
  17. That’s is not good if they removed their support, clearly not happy with something.
  18. I have read somewhere a new tv deal is due at the end of August? Has anyone else heard this? Will sky want to get back involved again? ITV 4 to cover some meetings? We are at the crossroads in this country, more Tv money and correctly invested could we finally see the good times start to return to British speedway?
  19. Will be decent at reserve, but strange we have still not replaced Ritchie.
  20. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/17366677.amp/ Article can be found here
  21. Good win for Poole but it’s time we sorted a permanent fix for the guests. We need push on and make a couple of fresh signings, NBJ isn’t too well and this could continue.
