Rpgtv schedule has not been sorted yet so original poster is guessing.

If Poole had a grader that was remotely good it would be an excellent track

thats what my trainer texted me. only reason I have a dog on there is because its on tv. no trial dates booked. no trainers or staff bin contacted as to when they are. ARC did not mention us in latest update

if this is true it is such a shame as it will close like peterborough has.

I expect the poole management ,will be concentrating on their new track at swindon.

Plenty of people would take lease on if Poole closes

It’s an evening only track that relied on revenue from customers. Sheffield has 5 slots on there, imagine if they have 2 of them slots to Poole so it could survive....but Poole aren’t in the clique.

Paves the way for a Towcester spot x2 NAP?

If you have 3 tracks suitable for the Saturday spot Crayford, Sheff, Towc, do you have them all on, 20 min race gaps,  or presumably get rid of one which is the graded stuff from Sheff?

Ask it to move to a Sunday to fill Poole's spot, NAP.

Not sure about that, the Owners well in with SIS , and Talking about a Sky Slot Plain Which if on Saturday would be no good  for RPTV Plain

All needs to be looked at without upsetting the Apple cart any further .. Henlow could switch to the Evening on Sunday  which I would favour

Failing that if Pelaw Comes back perhaps them ...They have Saturday and Sunday racing there , Perhaps could add a few opens  Going forward  ..

With races 20 mins apart will be shorter cards running later I would imagine ?? Its a conundrum the lot of it .. Sad

Case hotbed of dogs up here....

I am surprised 3 hasnt became 2 after all this between Pelaw, Sunderland and Newc.

Maybe thought they might of slipped Newcastle in Saturday night again rather than Tuesday afternoon Plain
Report ItsMeSwaddle May 25, 2020 2:58 PM BST
Case by the way is this Schedule temporary?

Newcastle really stretched to capacity surely if once things gets back to normal its inherited an extra meeting and then the knock on effect of lack of breeding in this tough time, presuming for now they will knock Sat night on the head.

and then this too about RPGTV, sorry if its already posted:

RPGTV’s Kevan Moretti on Arc announcement: “Fantastic news, we look forward to working with both ARC & SIS in the coming week to get RPGTV back on air on June 1. I must emphasise though that we do not have complete certainty at this time. We hope that can be achieved next week.”

Maybe floored logic but eventually there will be a knock on effect of the virus on breeding.

Capacity more stretched...

To me they would of been better off ditching the Tuesday afternoon they have inherited...run the graded stuff for the TV for the Thursdsy and then....alternate Friday nights with Sunderland on the Friday night putting on opens once every two weeks.

Therefore you've inherited an extra half a card a week and the quality is still there...or so you can run comps with a week between rounds maybe not a week on a week off but a month on and a month off alternating.

Agree with having Henlow on the Sunday nights.

Pewlaw still got the Sunday Arc spot , But will that be enough to let them race on saturdays as well ??
