If Gavan doesn’t have the intellect to understand my post, then he really has proved himself to be a complete And utter numpty.

Yes us normally laughing at you, not with you.

I won’t get into long discussions as I am with a group of friends in Italy and we’re about to go out to dinner. But what is most important is the home team fielding the same 1 to 7 every week. Less so the away team. Poole won’t be in the top flight next season, more’s the shame. I am not looking forward to next season and believe the crowds at Poole will be considerably down because of it. A second string as a number one will not be a crowd puller.

It’s quite simple. Ride on the night of your choice. Pick a team of riders who won’t be affected by this race night. If opposition teams are affected then so be it.

So how much have Eurosport paid?

Where? I know it’s just under 40,000

Well it’s been fun tonight. For me anyway. Well done to Swindon. It was their year and to be honest if they hadn’t won the title it would have been a surprise. Congratulations. I’m off to bed. Flight to Venice in the morning and then onto the Italian Alps for some flying for a few days, weather permitting. Enjoy your championship. Shame we can’t challenge it back next season but it looks like we’ll be visiting different clubs in 2020.

Age. Ipswich a team of oldies. Fight fades with age.

We certainly bottled it. Choked. No way were Ipswich good enough off their own backs as it showed in the final.

They are not showing league speedway next season.

We have got 2 draws at Swindon this year, and one defeat. We ride pretty well around there. Would have got within 12 imo. But all speculation.

Why should it bother you?

I was answering a question, would any other team have done better tonight. The answer is absolutely yes.

What did she say?

Yes! Absolutely! Ipswich had no fire or desire! Swindon would have still won but Poole would have given them a challenge, no doubt about it. Brady Jack, Josh and Nicolai all ride Swindon well. Something like 50-40, not 62-whatever.
