This Tai criticism is bloody ridiculous. 38 points out of 39 with team riding all week. It wouldnt be easy slowing Emil down to let Lambert through, it was a gamble either way.

Congrats boys, deserved it! Finishing top of the table means nothing, accept it. No rules broken with the tai change and won fair and square. Happy days!

Nothing wrong with that move. In the wrong game if he cant take that!

Theres no problem here. Nothing in the rules cant be bent/broken.

What a joke. Sometimes Poole are clever but other times they just outright take the p. This is one of those times. Might aswell get rid of every single rule in the rule book.

Im with Bwitcher on this one. 1 bad season doesnt spoil everything. I still want him to do well and see him as a wolf. Dont think he will be back for a good while though as his schedule suits him well now.

Very silly post!

Part of being a great sportsman is being able to ignore stick from the fans. I doubt Ronaldo looks on twitter and forums and gets wound up by what people say. Speedway riders and promoters dont seem to deal with opinions very well. Those in more professional sports dont seem to get involved in forum and twitter wars like those involved with speedway.

At least 4 relations of the ref were standing by me last night then? This sums it up for me.

Sorry screamer but PUK deserved to go. Cant see how anybody could see it any other way. He gave ty nowhere to go. Had a great view of it on the fourth bend.

Right here is my go at a saviour plan for the elite league. If regular team speedway is going to survive in this country then it has to stop driving away its hardcore fan base along with encouraging new fans to attend meetings. People think it’s all about getting new fans through the door and that is important. However look at the hardcore fan base, look at how it has diminished over the years, it’s quite frightening. Promoters assume those kind of people will keep turning up and some will but an awful lot have drifted away. There are people who don’t go now who used to believe would go to speedway forever. Over the last couple of years I’ve kind of drifted away although I love the GPs and still pop down Monmore occasionally. However it’s not the same anymore. I think at this stage it may be a bit unrealistic to drastically improve things but an improvement or at least stopping the rot isn’t impossible. Every year we say the sport is in crisis but I think it’s in a big mess going into next year. Something has to be done. Although it may be difficult we need to keep as much quality in the league as possible. This means quality throughout the team, not just two big hitters then a load of 3 pointers. People would also like more teams so how about an Elite League of 12 teams each with 1 top rider as a limit. We always talk about strengthening from the top but lets be realistic that isn’t going to happen. So why not strengthen from the bottom. A ban on 3 point riders in the elite league should help. If they have a 3 point average then they are premier league standard. Id try impose a minimum average of 4 on the league. if it can’t be done then start with 3.5. One thing that annoys me is Ward, Woffinden, Iversen etc being half a lap ahead of riders who struggle to turn the bike. There should be no place for that sort of stuff in the Elite. The play offs seem to annoy the old school fans but provide good drama and crowds. My idea would be to not have the place offs. Instead id split the league after the first round of fixtures. So after you have raced everybody home and away once the top 5 should break off into Elite League A and the bottom 7 into Elite League B. Rather than having play offs you then ride home and away again against everyone in your new league. Therefore the winner of Elite League A would be champions. Effectively it’s a longer play off but in a league format. Similar idea to when you had A finals and B finals in the GPs. You could have an Elite League winner and a B league winner (from the bottom 7) This would add up to 30 fixtures for teams who qualify for the A league and 36 fixtures for the B league. Not too few but not loads of fixtures at the same time. This system would keep some of the play off drama but also ensure that the winner of the A league is the best team throughout the season. Id also cancel the tac ride rule and bring back the old school tactical sub. I don’t consider this a biggy but there should be something for the die hards and I think they would like to see double points cancelled. You may think this is a complete pile of rubbish but its just an idea so don’t all shoot me down at once

Can somebody tell me what ages apply to concession tickets please.
