POOLE Speedway has announced the return of the Blue Riband – with Kacper Gomolski and Krzysztof Buczkowski confirmed starters.
The individual event was staged annually between 1970 and 1998 and was most recently contested in 2013.
Pirates promoter Matt Ford has elected to bring the Blue Riband back this season with the meeting scheduled for Friday, October 14.
Ford told the club website: "We will be making announcements over the course of the next days and weeks but I am looking to make this a very competitive field and it will be curtain-faller to our season."
Gomolski rode in Poole's Elite League title triumph last season while fellow Pole Buczkowski has impressed on loan from Peterborough this term.
