The track was awful and very dangerous in the latter stages. The fact that you think it was okay just about sums up your knowledge of speedway.

So you now think GP racing is as bad as the action in the British leagues? Haven't seen your company name in the GPs for a while, how's the lift business going these days?

There's been some serious back-tracking here.

The facts remain, shovlar, that your opinion would be completely different if it had been Poole who had this meeting stolen from them in these circumstances. And also we all know what sort of bile you would be posting if Coventry had done what Poole have just done. Your bias towards your leader holds no bounds and has very little credibility.

Nice bit of spin!! Unbelievable attitude.

And of course you believe and quote everything your promoter tells you. Also, to add, since when has the NYC ever been put out to tender?

For once, I actually agree with you. Speedway fans seem to live in their own fluffy little world.

The Peterborough/ Coventry/ Ipswich/ Hans Andersen/ Rory Schlein/ Ryan Sullivan and everyone else situation may have delayed things a little. I'm sure you can understand that.

Get a grip!! Some speedway fans do really live in their own fluffy little world. Quite sad really. Riders fall off, people cheer and are pleased when it gifts their team points and possibly the match. It's a normal human reaction. Nobody really wants to see them hurt, but when riders slide off at the back unopposed, most fans, riders and officials will be pleased if their team gains from it. Nothing wrong with that in my book. This is competitive sport for christ's sake, not a school sports day - 3 cheers for the winner and all that mallarky.

This has to be one of the great comedy moment of recent speedway times. Chapman dreams up the worst though out qualifying idea in years and then when his own team doesn't qualify, has the nerve to whinge about it and say how hard done he's been. You couldn't have scripted it!

Great thread

Brilliant. Putting the admission price up will take the sport forward. Good to see the forward-thinking Poole promotion setting the standards.

Considering the meeting is still 2 weeks away, I very much doubt you will see any confirmed line-up at this stage.
