Disgraceful remarks. The lad was trying, has fallen and hurt himself. How about hoping he is ok rather than slagging him off?

Also, "Dan Bewley gingerly walking back to the pits". Now that is really out of order, needs reporting.

How do you keep getting away with abusing people??

Is it a deliberate ploy to kill off this sport in the UK? Truly appalling advert for the sport going out to a wider TV audience... The place looking virtually empty.. The racing absolutely awful... Who cares who wins titles in such a dreadfully organised and presented sport? Cannot carry on like this surely?

Buster going on how good his track is due to track records, grippy inside just makes crap racing and riders lifting slamming into fence!

The answer to that is nobody. Apart from maybe Starman who thinks others are jealous of Poole winning this highly prestigious competition. The worst meeting I've ever seen at Peterborough. British Speedway is dead from the neck down and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

I can see where you're coming from, and I would have happily got behind the team Ged put together. However, after Buster cannibalised it to prop up his other clubs, I lost interest. It is clear that he has no ambition for the club other than to make up the numbers, and if he doesn't care, why should I?

It's not risky for normal people to start threads,,, only the strange ones.

5. Kenneth Bjerre - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 = 15 You were saying Chapman, you incompetent clown...

Has the track been like this all season? If so Buster has ruined it I’m afraid. The only decent TV meetings from the UK this year have been from Belle Vue, everywhere else has been rubbish so far unfortunately.

Buster not realised hes supposed to be preparing a track for speedway not Banger Racing

Kelvin just said The Danish Champion Kenneth Bjerre is in a class of his own - but Buster told KB he was not heat leader standard

Give it a rest Starry. Stop name calling.

Gary is right. Buster is just a nob and the sooner he f£££s off the better

Another great two points on the road. Whatever else happens over the rest of the season my expectations have been well and truly exceeded. A good bunch of honest riders who really seem to have gelled as a team.

He’s there, between Lord Lucan and Shergar

This truly is rubbish isn't it?

Simple the ref declared it as an un satisfactory start and was stopping the race anyway for a re-run with no exclusions.

Track is a disgrace, just like Kings Lynn last monday it is far too grippy and dangerous. Riders struggling and getting injured through no fault of their own. Track records are great but doesn’t mean the track is good for close racing. Just means the riders arms are being pulled off. Give me a slick, safe track with close racing any day.

When will he realise that grippy tracks are a thing of the past. Cheap clay based material no good for entertaining racing.

Should never, ever have been done away with. It certainly was worth it. Couldn’t understand it being binned.

It needs to be one big league. It should have happened this year but it didn`t ! British speedway needs to be run on days that are best for each particular track and not to suit Poland. We need to get back to the British League era. Its a fallacy that we need the big names we don`t ! we need good racing. The big names are riding in Sweden and I`ve watched a few on telly and the racing is no better than we have here...Let the so called big names ride in Poland if they want to but I think you will find a lot of them will eventually come back home with their tail between their legs when they`re dropped in a squad system...

If Doyle can ride on Thursday then why should Ipswich have a guest?

Should be two UK under 21 riders at reserve in the top tier from next season onwards . The draft system before was a great little system.

No, in truth, eight points is not a fair reflection, on Jordan Stewarts potential score. He has been well in double figures in all his recent home meetings, regularly outscoring Charles and MPT. The other rider, (non national league standard allegedly) , had never ridden Redcar before. In contradiction, to the Scunthorpe team managers, version of events in the BSPA site, (where Scunthorpe won with all the odds against them). The Scunthorpe team, had infinitely more experience of the Redcar track, than some of the home team. It is the fairest track in the league and some of the Scunthorpe riders, perform as well there, if not better than at Scunthorpe. I congratulate Scunthorpe on their victory, but lets not make it out to be an overwhelming performance.

Really!! In what seemed no time after the takeover we saw a perfectly adequate management team dismantled . Rosco moved out and Colin Pratt pushed sideways. Then we had Colin's service dispensed with as team manager to be replaced by a series of " ragamuffin type characters" called team managers in his place , none of whom appeared to have a clue what Coventry Speedway represented. During all of this time we were getting messages from Mr Horton about making up our minds whether we wanted top class speedway at Brandon, and his guarded threats about running at a lower level. While all of this was going on he was attending BSPA meetings complaining he couldn't afford to run. I wouldn't call that well a run club , and I won't even get involved with your comment about still being there had the stadium been available.

For what its worth I enjoyed Saturday`s meeting as IMO I got value for money and that's all I ask for, I look forward to more of the same this week hopefully. Decent racing and a surprise home win.

And continued to be, and still would be if we had a stadium to race in You couldn’t be further from the truth on my part

Deja vu at its height. What you and your pal inherited at Coventry was a top class club, which had been very well run for many many years, and look how that finished up. Also, on reflection, you and Mr Horton didn't make Colin Pratt feel too welcome after you moved in to Brandon either.

Would like to say a big well done to Diamonds. Won fair and square over 2 legs. After Friday thought we were a few points short and so it was. Josh a fantastic shift from you tonight. Mamma Mia, SOS what has happened to the Swedes, not Napoleon that surrendered they did. Sad to see Ricky struggling, hope he can turn it around. best wishes to George n the Diamonds for the final.Would like to see them or Redcar win it.

That would be a rash choice IMO

Maybe but theres been a red mist hanging over the showground since the start of the season

I agree, could do with a haircut though ☺

Will be interesting to hear what went wrong tonight Taps when he does his column, like I said hes usually half decent around Wolves and has just come off a 15 point maximum for Sheffield so would have thought full of confidence. Strange one. Just a mention for Richard Lawson. He’s really impressed me this season and he’s produced much more than I was expecting. Had the odd stinker like all the lads have at some stage, but in the main he’s been consistently decent.

Not really Keith, you have to remember that he is originally King Kenneth Speed, the biggest troll on this forum ever and still is.

Is Dale Allit Panthers new manager or can't Johnson cope on his own. First we have Lynn's cast off riders now their cast off manager too...oh and thanks for for the crap guest too Buster. Awful advert for the sport and glad I didn't go.

Same bikes ride the NSS with barely a crash in three years...

About two hundred more than crashes so far....? Just heard they can't get access to the track on Monday and Thursday's in August so can't run a meeting at the height of summer.. Not the greatest of business plans when you run a summer sport on Mondays and Thursday's.. School holidays and no meetings... British Speedway...

Wish people would stop quoting that inadequate half bake!!

always been a honest poole supporter your far to clever for me

Just hope our riders come home safe .Poole is a hell hole and the track a death trap.

For the majority of the kids even the CL is a jump too far and having a 2 point rider will mean teams are basically 6 a side. They get the sack and disillusionment sets in so there must be a lower league standard for them to learn and progress. These young riders shouldn’t be used just so teams can build a better top heavy team and the bspa have a duty of care to see to it.

Fantastic meeting and fantastic performance from both teams. Haven't enjoyed a meeting like that for a long time. I would have still gone home happy if we had been beaten as the meeting was fantastic. Hats off to Clegg and Wethers for the Diamonds and Josh Pickering for the Monarchs. I'm not sure what the criteria is for the 90th Anni meeting but send that boy an invite. Great debut by Ulrich, looks a good addition based on that performance, had my doubts about Starke after his first ride, too much head shaking, but put on a fine show and performance. Well done the Monarchs as well, it takes two teams to make a semi final and you certainly played your part. Hopefully we can kick on from here.

The problem that the MSDL faces on a daily basis is the snobby attitude that commentators like you hold against it. Just because the league is of a lower standard does it mean it has to be treated as an inferior or less valid product? Only recently there was unfair criticism levied against the NL and the support for it was over whelming. Many many riders compete in the development leagues and have progressed through to full time team places to great acclaim, however the league faces opposition at every turn (clubs, promotions, BSPA) the very same people who moan that the future of the sport is in jeopardy.

having been the Pit Marshall at Plymouth many many moons ago this bunch that are very vocal about their speedway are still going strong and being very vocal.. they have been this way since day one why change them now. I remember having strong words with them over the track fence for their shouting and their choice of words. I will say the promoter shouldn't be heckled in any way i am sure Mark is doing all he can to provide the paying public a place to watch a sport they all love and in no way should he be held to ransom. He also has to make sure anyone else coming to the track enjoys their time and doesn't come to the track see's what is going on and thinks i wont go again so wanting to portray a family fun night of sport etc.. a permanent ban is a touch strong as these guys have been there since day one but a learning lesson maybe should have been employed for the betterment of anyone new visiting and giving the best impression of the club and sport. basically what i am getting at is the promotion are trying to get new people into the club as no club can support itself on a small number of regulars and this kind of vocal behaviour isnt always wanted or needed for the future of Plymouth Speedway lets face it if he shut the doors tomorrow where will they get their fix then if they are reading understand things from both sides of the fence and although your point may be valid and have a place in a discussion there are ways and means of getting your point across and usually they are to go and meet with the promoters and voice them now. I know Mattie Bates will welcome a discussion as will Mark Phillips but doing things the wrong way will always get a sharp reaction and this is what they have got.

Have we ever heard from him? Bearing in mind that I never buy a programme.

Well, if that's true, I hope they didn't do it via text !!!

Great meeting, but thought we might have blown it in ht12. Was there not a case for Heeps to go off 15mts in ht 6 after Coles had failed to clear the track ??? One of three 5-1 that turned out to be 3-3's, can't it away from Edinburgh for effort tho, or Paul Starke for his good contribution too.

And wears great shirts.

Smolinski would have been first choice, but for personal reasons he has opted out of the SoN this year. His partner is expecting their first baby and Smoli has informed the German team manager Peppi Rudolph that he wants to be by her side, rather than make the long trip to Russia.
