    None of those will have a Witches race jacket/suit on though so I’ll save my money to watch the team I support

    It's an absolute joke that Sweden get priority over cup matches. It's still an official meeting. And one that I should imagine most fans and promoters will want to win. (Who doesnt want a trophy) They say they only get priority for cup matches but come on.... that's where it starts. You know ho the rest will go.

    Sorry that makes zero sense to me. It doesn’t matter who the riders are, where they come from or their nationality. The current seven riders that are wearing Witches kevlars are representing my home town team, the team I support so of course they’re my team. If a rider or two are missing for whatever reason, whoever comes in for one meeting only and wears a Witches race jacket, will also be representing “my team”. We’ll agree to disagree.

    Ignore this guy he’s an ex freeloader who is peed off he can’t get in for nowt anymore so spends his time spreading lies. I stopped listening to him as I struggled to hear him anyway over the sound of him grinding his axe.

    Come on now.... It wouldn't be Speedway (in Britain), without some made up septet improved by bringing ringers in would it? You can get away with in British Speedway what you cannot do in my lads U16 Sunday Football League as they all need photo profiles to show they are registered players on the league website, which the ref checks before the game.. British Speedway.... Tee Hee... I wonder if they have ever considered doing 'fixed nights' for all the main European leagues to avoid such clashes? Seriously, if you are going to have clashes, like happens every year, and you end up running loads of contrived nonsense meetings, like happens every year, then you might as well do it at weekends when crowds would be bigger.. Especially now the Football season is virtually finished.. The SoN at BV showed what a Saturday night crowd was like versus running the same meeting on a Monday or a Thursday... You wouldn't have had a full house on either evening.. It's OK now for it all to be 'made up', the fans that are left expect nothing else, so do it when most of them can/will attend.. It doesn't really matter who wins..

    As usual you have missed the point. If the crowds are poor, which they are and BV are losing hundreds of thousands of pounds every season, which they are, then they must have tons of cash to burn. FACT.

    I thought the deal was that Monday’s and Thurs were protected as Top flight ( I know, dont laugh) Speedway in the UK. So that’s all gone by the wayside. Who negotiated that deal, Teresa May ?

    Shows how often I go there. Last time it was poolepirates.co they should have an automatic re-direct on that domain name.

    Typical buster track thinking fast times is the B all, who really gives a stuff about track records, thinking the track must be good if the track record is broken, not giving any thoughts to entertainment and that's what any sport is about ENTERTAINMENT.

    Loads of tracks have pulled fast ones over the years and got away with it. I know Belle Vue got punished for the hose pipe fiasco, but that is an exception to the rule. You had Eastbourne with the 'stolen' generators and last season Mildenhall refusing to turn up for an away match. Most of these incidents are swept under the carpet and quickly forgotten. The long suffering fans just get used to it.

    Slow night on the nightshift tonight has me casting my mind towards the weekend and our first clash in donkeys years with the Eastbourne Eagles . Our two Danish stars are away back to Denmark for their quest to win the Captain Baconheid title , so we have drafted in two capable guests in the shape of Aaron Summers and Ben Barker . The Eagles have two ex-tigers in their ranks in the shape of Lewis Kerr and Son of God , and they are backed up by Eddie Kennet. After that it's a long looking tail ,though Tom Brennon looks a real prospect and could be troublesome from reserve . A tough looking test to get our league campaign started , though Mr Maximum , Starky and the assorted guests should get our first three points on the board .

    Having watched speedway for more years than I care to remember, I can assure you Wolves is a trick track that give massive advantage to the accomplished rider. Inexperience riders fail to understand the long straight and tight bends. An accomplished rider will make the gate and ride the line. Only when he makes a mistake, will his advantage be challenged. I have watched many races from Wolves and when someone comes from the back its usually because the rider in front has drifted out too far or made a mistake.. When I said that Wolves track favours the gater, it means once you are in front the ball is in your court... I have seen home specialists like Woffy and Freddie struggle when behind, thus illustrating the difficulty when missing the gate.

    Another hour or so, and I will be on the way to St Pancaras to get the Eurostar to Berlin.... Cant wait, normally the first visit is most exciting, but knowing how cool a city Warsaw is, I am a kid in a sweet shop.....

    We are waiting until after the 24th so we can use the best 2 pointer for the track of tricks. If that fails we can use Jason Garrity.

    Wolves as Favoured the gater, nope, watched speedway at Wolves from 1968, far from a trap & go in general!

    If they just told the truth and said we dont want to race as no facility for the unavailable ellis the public may have grumbled but would have worn it. By all this cobblers they drag the club thru the mire.

    To be fair, given the dust bowl that is Wimborne Road I would have thought most Poole fans have to go on Twitter to see the result....

    Why do they need to ask questions?As Bagpuss said he isn't making the starts consistently in any league this season.What i've seen of him this season he is his usual self and always full of effort even when missing the gate.Can't believe how fickle fans can be,especially ones that don't watch the effort being put in and go solely on scores that said riders have amounted.

    To be fair the track was not at it's best and a lot of it was gate and go. In the first half the Stars were gating and in the second half Wolves were, to get the win. Final score was perhaps flattering to Wolves. Shouldn't worry about Lambert, he's a great rider that I enjoy watching. It just didn't happen for him tonight including bike problems in heat 1. He's done better than this at Monmore in the past.

    THERE is no doubt that he is also very popular with fans, as witnessed by the support he received at BV on Saturday.

    Scunthorpe shouldn’t have brought him across the world to ride for them if he wasn’t ready to do so. Seems a common theme with assessed riders who aren’t up to scratch these days to justify it by saying they were thrown in at the deep end.
