Hmmm! I think BV should be the team you don’t want to prosper - Robert Lambert signing!!

Interesting - especially when he has just signed for a team that has “done a Poole” in signing him

They really need to sort out how they apply the rules! BV (and other teams) have suffered by the playoff rules in the past which have prevented them signing a new rider - so I don’t understand why it’s allowed now! Some you win and some you lose but it doesn’t make it right. Hard to bet against BV to finally lift the trophy for the first time in a very long time

You are correct - it was a draw with Ipswich getting 3 points for winning the super heat. Super heats are in the rules so the result was not false - you may not like it but it won’t change the resulting points.

While it was still mathematically possible for Lynn to make the playoffs, too many miracles required for this to happen. For that reason, I think you are grasping at straws to refer to Wolves as your playoff rivals.

I agree - Harris needs to lower his average before the end of the season or he will find his options very limited. I certainly wouldn’t risk signing him on his current average.

… and that is your opinion. Fortunately those making the decisions don’t agree with you. As the meeting was abandoned, the only “fair” decision was to have the current British champion have the Cardiff wildcard. It doesn’t really matter if you agree or not because that is what is happening. I do feel for Bomber - who was riding out of his skin on Monday - as always. Tom Brennan will get his chance in the future as is making good progress in his career.

I think that’s a fair decision for Adam to go to Cardiff based on being the current British Champion

I never noticed earlier in the season but what are they riding on at Peterborough? Any shale I have seen is usually brown in colour but it definitely looked black last night. Very strange.

A number of people have told you already but you are still banging the anti-greyhound agenda on a speedway forum. While you may be passionate about that subject, it is hardly a topic for this forum. We want Swindon Speedway back and that means having the dogs too - as it has been for most of the last 50 years! If you want to talk about speedway then please do but keep your anti-greyhound agenda to yourself please as you have already had more pages on the subject than I care to read!

Unbelievable ending!

So if he can’t earn money riding, he’s earning money co-commentating. You would have thought he would be at Wolves supporting his team though

Good to see Brando back in the pits - so much better than Sudden Sam.

Well done Sheffield - nice to see 4 Swindon riders from the title winning 2019 team - 2 on each team. I think Stevie Worrall got better in commentary as the meeting progressed.

It’s not an easy job to do and I wouldn’t like to do it but there is a definite lack of excitement in the presentation. It’s all very well being a competent speedway rider but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you can do a presenting/commentary role. Tatum and Louis were better in both SGPs. Bring back Brando (for Ermolenko)!

Have to say that Norick Blodorn looks good

One overtake from Basso - and Eurosport missed it - doh!

Basso suffering from TV stage fright? I’ve heard good things about him but not seen that in his first two rides - there’s still time

Some are better! Look at Jason Doyle!

I thought Kiri did a great job - I thought she was better than Abi who she replaced (because of Covid) and I liked Crumpy with Tatum. I don’t know why Eurosport insist on having Ermolenko as he adds nothing to the presentation. The match itself was a bit one-sided but to be expected given the problems KL had.

Can you enlighten me? What rider did Poole sign at the start of a season on a short term contract and then release before the official “transfer window”? If there isn’t one then there is no comparison to make.

I didn’t mention Poole - you did!
