Just seen this , a lot of worky fans not happy,  we had a nice southern tour planned,  poole wed, Ipswich V belle Vue Thurs, then scunny V worky on the way home on Fri. A one off fixture is not good for travelling fans a 800 mile round trip..  so no visit to poole now

You could blame Edinburgh. They asked for their visit to Poole to be moved forward from 23rd to 16th July. Poole were happy to accommodate their request.

That was why it was moved then! Apparently 23rd July was no good to other SF opponents.

Thanks Worky, now we have a bit of weekly speedway 😃

Lucky you a run of home fixtures, many a club would like a similar run of fixtures. I know wouldn't be many travelling worky fans, but last year was about 30 on a mini tour, now I can't see any coming down for a one off 800 mile round trip fixture

Anders Rowe pulls out of tonight’s meeting with an arm injury. Not looking good for Wednesday. Get well soon Anders.

Rather have Trigger tbh, who was better at Poole. Cluff struggled to stay on the bike last time.

How many points did they have left after Scott as Ritchings is 2.35 now rather than than a 2.00.

Good point perhaps not enough to play with

With the new GSA out for August and Paul now on a 4.00 - a good time to look around and see if any new 4.00 riders are willing to come over to the UK?

Really?

On the BSPA website. Clearly going through the motions which was clear to see Wednesday, he’s been great for British Speedway but think he has lost fight on the bike and gives up easy, surely a better option could be available now?

Isn't there a rule that says you can't sign any replacements if you've completed 75% of fixtures?

Think Poole have a bit of a conundrum here thinking of 2026 and regarding young Will Cairns.

Thought I read that Champ had agreed a 2 year deal on Champ staying at 40 point limit (sure i saw it from an interview with Danny Ford after last annual Promoters meeting.

If this the case then we have Poole sitting on current GSA 41.81 and that's with Will's 2.00 GSA. According to Brit Speedway stats he is on 4.15 from 6 meetings so for sure that will increase the team total.

Poole have 4 league meetings left that will make up the final GSA for this season if they only take lge meetings into account and don't take play offs for the final GSA's for 2026.

Poole it's safe to say are already in play offs, and possibly will top table.

If this is the case what do they do in planning for 2026.

I'm sure they would like to keep Will at reserve next year (as he and Rowe already signed deals for this and next season).

Do they ask Will (in particular) and Anders (clearly riding injured still) not to push to hard in those last 4 matches ??

Any thoughts ??. Also any thoughts on trying to sign Southern based Cooper Rushen (who expressed a preferenceto sign for a Soutern Club)  to partner Will at reserve for 2025. Saw some comments about him maybe already signed on the forum in last 2 months but that went quiet. Cooper for some rated more exciting and maybe better long term prospect than Will ??. Would that leave us exposed at reserve or can we really expect o see Cairns push on in 2025.
