You have most people wetting themselves regularly on this forum. Have you considered stand up comedy Steve? Stop me if you’ve heard this one. There were 2 Australians, 2 Danes, 2 Poles and an Englishman...

Jesus Christ, what a bunch of half bakes. Who’s gonna have the last word? me! me! no, me! Oh please Miss, let it be me! Difficult to believe these are adults with jobs/wives/kids Sad

Oh! So end of the season now? We were all under the impression that your (not so) magnificent 7 were going to smash other teams from the off. Sounds like you have lost faith in your starting 1-7 already

Its Speedway in Poland always lots of pressure to score from fans,management,sponsors what does he expect.

This forum wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for a bit of banter. It would be more of a borefest than it is now. People should never be afraid of throwing down the gauntlet. Being afraid of a sentence coming back at you is ridiculous. And I believe by the end of the season we will smash Swindon. Bookmark it ready to throw it back!

Couldnt disagree more and it hasnt worked in the past.. the polish kids are far and away the best in the world because they get used to riding under pressure early on. Tai Woffinden also rode in Poland early in his carrer and he is our only top line rider... if you want to get to the top you need to get used to riding under pressure

Perfect weather for today's meeting, a nice 21°c. Hopefully a better crowd than last week!

Brits have helped each other in the past...I guess the question is maybe whether there was anyone there to make the riders aware of the situation. In his first big meeting I can imagine that Dan wouldn't have been thinking about permutations for others...Even Robert might not have been thinking of Dan as a threat given his performance up to then...they would have needed someone to have a word...and I'm guessing no-one did that. Edit - Just saw teaboys comment. Hopefully Lambert will get one of the wildcards. Harris, not so much.

I guarantee no other country in the world would have let this happen with Lambert needing a win to progress We really are the best at making things hard for ourselves

One big league is nonesense. Fans will not come for Poole v Redcar or Berwick. How is that going to pack out stadiums? Clubs like Sheffield and Ipswich should be in the top flight and they way they acted when the premership wanted Mondays and Thursdays was frankly disgraceful.

Are you Poole fans deliberately obtuse? The seven I alluded to was your starting 7. You know, the team that was going to ‘smash’ everyone...

A no, its embarrasing really, when your no.7 and last minute guest are the only 2 to seem to offer any resistance and, agree,,, wasted t/s.

Just waiting for tsunami to tell us how many problems he had with his bikes last night etc etc....

Another week and another big team disposed of! Excellent meeting for both Jye and David with their maximums. Onwards and upwards for this "bang average" team

I thought the ISL deal has done that already? Or you call it fixed race nights.

I dont know WK a great question maybe i am wrong but Briggs was pretty professional really fit as well physically. stronger than most.Mauger was good really top class he took the sport forward but Briggs like you have said endless times was very unlucky and I believe he would and should of won his fifth title in 72.

This good enough for you SS. Who never said they were to beat everybody! Your memories not so good!

Forget about the result last night ,it's time to appreciate the riders of all clubs for providing us with entertainment and putting there bodies on the line for us . Wishing Gino and Nike a speedy recovery as at one stage it looked far worse then what the two riders have been diagnosed ,hoping to see you both back on the shale very soon

WITH so many vacant dates why can't this sort of thing be avoided?

You’ve got to be careful with dementia at your age. I’d advise you get yourself straight to your surgery

There was an article in the Wolves v Poole programme, that I thought was worth sharing. The article is written by Mark Sawbridge who is the official historian for Wolverhampton. He has previously written a book about Wolverhampton Speedway and is a well respected member of the speedway researcher community. The article states that Wolverhampton Speedway will be 90 years old this year. Furthermore, it is now the oldest track in the world, because all other older tracks have closed or simply don't exist anymore. I am long term Wolves fan, since 1967, but this is still a surprise to me. Long may we continue ! If anyone is interested in the article, PM me.

Glasgow do drone stuff .

Bellego was class last year and it would take a very fickle fan to get on his back after a few dodgy meetings. This Reading fan is very similar to MFF on the Poole threads who wants a rider out every week if they have a bad meeting. You can tell the difference between fans who actually go and watch Swindon and Poole compared to those that don't.

I remember the wooden shed behind main grandstand ( about where turnstiles are now ) in the interval it was packed and difficult to get into to buy merchandise. God knows how much pocket money I spent on photos of Bettsy. Saved up to get race jackets. We made a speedway track around Fathers lawn. Even put tapes in from a pole to a tree. Local kids turned up on their bicycles to race. But my brother and I looked the best with our race jackets. Father wasn’t amused though as we destroyed the outside of his lawn. Happy days fond memories.
