He is one hundred percent correct though. the way Ward behaves himself on social media just makes himself look even more of a knobhead than he looked before his crash. Some of the comments regarding other riders are disgraceful. The guy is a complete w@nker.

Probably the first time in my life I'll say this. I hope Edinburgh pump them

Worth pointing out that the rugby team have moved out due to the high financial cost of playing at Odsal. Would Speedway be financially viable?

Would strengthen Ipswich too.

Looked after him so well that they binned him after winning the league!!!!

Comparing Darcy and Cook is irrelevant. Cook ignored red flags, he shoulder barged an official (all be it after he stepped into Cooks path), he also threw at least one punch. Few, if any come out of this with credit. I hope Cooks ban isn't over turned, it would make the whole thing a mockery.

Not getting involved in this, but i'm now blocked on twitter by Darcy, Holder and now Cook. Although only Darcy sent me an offensive private message regarding my Mum. Nice guy in real life tho i'm sure.

You don't like him because he acts stupid. Yet everyone on the south coast of Poole absolutely loved Darcy Ward. Forgetting his talent, that kid was a proper d!©[<. Craig is very tame compared

Superb meeting and a terrific advert for both handicapping and Isle of Wight Speedway. Some brilliant racing, capped by a stunning 6 rider final in which the massively impressive Joe Lawlor came through the pack to win. Throw in a top class track ( no blue line, no dust and racing lines) the wonderful sight of youngsters enjoying themselves hugely and even having races of their own and it was a top night. Makes me think that Speedway might just have a chance after all.

Sick to death of this poxy rain every bloody day

You nearly got it right

no rider should ever receive any type of fixed guarnatted payment - full stop in my view. Riders pay was exactly the same as normal.

Because there both absolute idiots.. hope that helps

When you build a so-called 'top heavy' team then your heat leaders should have better averages than any team built for 'strength in depth'! Swindon have a chance - not a strong chance imo - on Monday to go top of the league, but either way it should be a good meeting and the play-offs will be far better for having both Poole and Swindon qualifying. Still the Premiership table still looks mighty fine this morning!!

I notice its pretty much the Poole mafia leading all the vocal protests.what a bunch of......

Went last night for only the second time this season Yet again we were just awful out of the gate, consistently beaten to the first bend Ive no idea why we have carried on with Harris he is just awful. Made one gate and even then Batchelor passed him like he was standing still. KP looked woeful and Allen certainly struggled. But as that Pinny thing reminded me , you cant have riders out of form, well at the moment Allen, Lawson and KP are out of form and maybe low on confidence. Swindon proved why they are favourites for the league. A top 5 that no other side can match. Doyle and Batchelor cruised through the meeting never looked any chance of them being beaten. Musielek was fast and Jensen looks a find. Special mention for Ellis Perks.....his score did not reflect his riding, was on the pace in every race and looks a decent rider Nobody will want this side in the play offs , at this rate nobody will get close to them. Im hopeful that we can still sneak in but the management need to make changes or the season will just blow up totally We have 5 matches left...home and away v Swindon where we will get nothing from..................home and away v Poole where we could get a home win.............home v Peterborough which now becomes a must win match. That will leave us on 39 points meaning Wolves will need to get 10 points and with away trips to Belle Vue and Poole to come i cant see it. Looking at the matches left i can see Swindon maybe even getting top spot and then they would pick us. Ive been saying on here for a long time Swindon are the best side in the league with the best manager....looking good for the Robins

Big buzz from the Island last night could be heard well across the country. Reports i have heard say that the line up, riders & track all delivered to produce an excellent night of entertainment. Virtually every race not decided until the final lap with plenty of passing and re-passing. Certainly huge merits for these types of meeting and the pure entertainment value they bring although it does need a racers track to make it work so not every club could do this as successfully.

Great sentiments and 10 years ago maybe, but the Rugby have moved out because they can't afford it so there's no way Speedway will be able to afford it. I think the ideal use for Odsal will probably be landfill... it's the right shape

Buster should have told Harris he's no longer a heat leader in this league and not Bjerre.

People are discussing Cooks mental stability which isn’t speedway related either. However those actions have an effect on their speedway career. So completely comparable. Cook has the talent in Wards finger that Darcy possessed, so not even in the same sentence should they be compared. Sadly they both seem unhinged human beings which seems the only tenuous link.

Welcome to the world of Ritchie Hawkins

You might want to look at his average - which is above any Poole rider

How old are you? As you come across as a petulant child incapable of mature debate.

And your comment is about as dated as on old BBC computer as graphics come very low down in the success of the most played games in the world these days. This game is all about playability and enjoyment, graphics utterly irrelevant.
