unbelievable really that dispite what seems a fanstatic effort by the Boro promotion to get the meeting completed there are folk moaning about being cold and delays sometimes there is feck all you can do about things going wrong and delays what a bloody world we live in,, Man up ffs and buy a bloody good coat Well done to Rathbone and all for not giving,finding a solution and completing the meeting

People are quick to moan when there’s nothing going on between races, well tonight you can watch some speedway between races

Awful meeting. Pleased no one got seriously injured. The ONLY good thing I have to say about it is.........the big big smile on Barry Bishops face after an IOW 1&2. The effort he and his team out into PROMOTING speedway,they all deserved this. Congratulations everyone from IOW.

A massive congratulations to Robert re season 2018. An average of 9.93 in his 2018 meetings with third place in the WU21 and the European Championship plus being crowned British Champion Sincerely hope he gets in to the SGP for 2020. British Speedway is at last on the way up..... Robert Lambert , Dan Bewley, Drew Kemp ,Kyle Bickley plus others..... all looking like British success is on it’s way. A big thank you to Neil Vatcher for doing a tremendous job with the BYC which is bringing a steady conveyor belt of British talent

Most people by now would stop digging, say "sorry i missed the word "southern" when I read your post and saw only "premier league." My bad and sorry about being a dick about it afterwards." Not keep blaming the original poster after being literally the only person to must-read it, and then have the temerity to call THEM stupid...

i know im now going to get a bit of stick but ive reread the last half dozen pages and have to admit after a long and intensive visit to poole quay at lunchtime yesterday i was really wound up,im annoyed i let you get to me so much,but you do say some idiotic things,in real life its unlikely our paths would ever cross,leastways not for long,but that can be a problem with internet forums.I understand matt is dissapointed with this partial reconciliation as not being one to miss an opportunity hed already booked dale allitt for the undercard lol.The only positive i can hope for is that in future you pause and try and think a little.if the pay per view customers have paid by credit card they will be entitled to a full refund!! very sorry to disappoint what was a growing number of fans lol

Obviously learnt a few lessons from Poole

Why should they concede when the result wasn’t decided. Not the sort of attitude I’d want from a team I support. Good job they didn’t concede with 3 races to go in 2006 when faced with the impossible eh...

Hold on a sec, you cant use the brain tumour thing as some kind of get-out clause on a post you've clearly read wrong. On a wider scale, this is the kinda thing that does genuine sufferers of medical conditions no good whatsoever. You'd be quick enough to chastise (google it) someone who brought it up as a slur against you. Anyway, if anyone is prepared to record a meeting of keith and yourself, i'll be popping a nice little donation in the direction of the brain tumour charity.

Yea some common sense

Not only were we determined to finish the main meeting, we had eleven junior riders here for an MDL challenge match who would have lost the opportunity to ride had the meeting been abandoned.

My problem with a low points limit, which I consider 39 to be low, is that it means riders like Alfie Bowtell don't get a team spot (thankfully he got one mid season) but riders like Arran Butcher, Lewis Whitmore, Kieran Douglas, Jacob Clouting etc (sub 2.00 riders) get team places. Nothing against these guys personally, but just because your're young and on a 3.00 ave doesn't mean you have a future! A low points limit could mean improving riders (but not superstars) like Anders Rowe or Henry Atkins getting dropoped for the next batch of 3.00 riders!

See you next Tuesday

Booth teams cheerleaders get their pom poms out...and whoever giggles their pom poms the best wins the tie.

Oh well. I suppose it’ll fire up the lakeside boys.

The reality is that other promotions do not have emergency lighting to hand. Peterborough are in a particularly unique position in this regard. The apology comes with barbs and that diminishes it in my opinion. Neil Watson went to great pains to point out it is the referee who terminates a meeting early, yet we have references to the 'early finish' at Rye with the inference it was totally a Lakeside decision - so which is it? Last night both teams were using guests and references to 'playing games' does not sit well with someone who, on the face of it, would not agree to race at Arena when the opportunity was there. I wonder what strokes will be pulled for the play-offs.

“We’ve been beaten on aggregate this time but what I will say is that we were beaten as a team, which is our team, without any games or whatever you want to call it. No games really - so you not agreeing to any fixtures at Arena Essex, knowing it would have to be ridden at Rye House is exactly what? just taking the piss? Your team - well congrats on signing Carl Wilkinson and Thomas Jorgenson in that case.

I think you are being over-sensitive. It is just a quicker way of describing the idea of the PL and CL merging. If they merged, then they would merge into one big league instead of two smaller ones. Nobody thinks the NL doesn't exist.

Peterborough got through the meeting despite most difficult circumstances. Well done GED and Peterborough in general... other promoters may have given up or gone for abandonment with result standing.

it wasn't just about that though, it was making sure ALL races were completed and not ripping off the public

A great deal of uninformed nonsense posted here tonight. I challenge any other Club faced with a major floodlight failure to be able to install temporary lights (albeit with a delay) and then complete the meeting.

Couldn't make it last night due to family 'last supper'/taking youngest to uni. today, but what a turn around, I, like probably everyone else did not expect that. Full marks to the Comets for a performance which must give them confidence for the further challenges that lie ahead. I must admit the thing that has struck me is how genuine the good wishes seem to have been from seemingly everyone, but particularly from the Monarchs fans who must have been gutted, but who have been so magnanimous in defeat. A big thank you from us Comets and it only goes to prove that whilst the banter does possibly occasionally appear to overstep the mark it is banter and we (the supporters) are part of one speedway family.

How can the Southern Premier League mean anything ? The only person misunderstanding the post is you.

You really are a complete moron Starman

So it's okay attacking people by calling them stupid and stuff...don't give it out if you can't take it back......
