This is a very good point. If Polish/Swedish League have no joker/DP,why Elite League. Fans on here do not want it (well most )by the comments from riders last night,they do not want it. GET RID OF JOKER/DOUBLE POINTS.

Jeppy,Jeppy,Jeppy,oi,oi,oi.

Sorry forgot Speedway has become/becoming a Joke.

According to Mr Pearson if you was watching Speedway tonight for the first time you would be thrilled with the action. More like wonder what was going on ?

Joker IS a Joke. If Czech Rep hold final next year,another Joke. (GB might as well forget about next year). Pearson/Tatum duo another Joke. (their shouting/comments getting on my nerves). Thats all.

Yes it did look strange. I thought he had just put weight on ? Is he trying something new,or does he always wear it ? Do not know if it has been mentioned but how many times did the Aussie riders refer to GB as ENGLAND. Wish the team could go back to be called England. Nice piece about RICO(Rip)before racing - got really choked up watching it. Great racing and GB really gave it a go for Rico and British racing. Just cannot see the Lads finishing above the Poles AND Danes on Thursday.

Appoligize if mentioned already but why no RESERVE ? If any team loses a rider ,that makes it impossible. GB chances : Tomorrow very slim. Thursday no chance.

The only `sauce` you have is HP - which you dribble all over your bib !!!

Spot on. Nicki was going to do ANYTHING to reach the Final.

Just wondered who was thinking of going. Looking forward to it and weather sounds like it is set fair.

With the likes of Darcy Ward,MJJ,the young Brits etc riding in this meeting,if the weather is kind and the meeting well publicized I can see a large crowd turn out for this World Cup Qualifier.

Looking forward to this meeting. Will be interesting to see our young riders against the Danes and Aussies (also Czech Rep I believe?).

I am sure riders use these meetings to test things out and blow off some of the cobwebs. The whole point of last night was to raise lots of money,and hopefully that was achieved with a big crowd.

Steve - Speedway does indeed NEED the USA back in World Speedway. Love to see a England v USA Test Match and listen to the good old US Anthem.

Great to see this in the South. A learning League for riders before they move into the National League.

This meeting could finish Sunday ?

Also why do the riders go back to pits ?

I have to say I was looking forward to last night,BUT it was all a bit of a damp squid in the end. 1)So many programme changes I nearly gave up !!! 2)It had more of a GB Select v Aussie Select feel about it. 3)The idea of Test/Internationals is great,but only really works if ALL the top riders turn up. 4)Cannot remember hardly any overtaking,some riders seemed to be going through the motions. 5)Sheilds getting injured early seemed to put a real dampner on it for riders and spectators - GET WELL SOON ADAM. 6)Crowd did not seem much bigger than a normal League meeting. And I soon found myself not caring which team Won ????????

Any one know the programme price on Friday ? As on Lakeside Website it still says TBC.

Correct,more fixture farce.

It will be interesting to see how big the crowd is,as it is the first stand alone fixture at Lakeside for the Hawks. I am sure The Heathens will bring a few.

All I can say it is still GREAT to see the HACKNEY HAWKS race jacket racing around different tracks.

Quite agree. The pairs are just becoming a joke with withdrawals making it a waste of time. Did not know Jake Knight was a `Elite League rider for Birmingham `?????

Will there be a separate programme for the Hackney v Stoke fixture ? Or a double programme for Lakeside/Eagles and the Hackney meeting ?
