Leave off with the 'Harris and Garrity injuries'!! They both rode out of their skins at Poole last night!!
Just proves the difference in attitude from them to poor old Maciej with his Belle Vue knee

Thank You SKY 10 heats of crap for £18.

If this meeting gets called off a few heats in, then I would think that Mick would not get any crowd for any other televised meetings.
-
See this then...looks 50/50 to me
Are you coming then?
-
Weather is dry, breezy & sunny at the moment so can't see them calling it off yet. Hopefully any showers are light. Fingers crossed.
It is not showers but several hours of solid rain.
-
There is no way that this will be on tonight unless we are going to use boats. Every forecast is showing a solid band of rain crossing most of the country starting late afternoon ang going into the night.
I wish that Sky would call it off now and save themselves and every one else a load of work and trouble.
Wolves and Belle Vue been off for hours, at least they have got some sense.
-
Weather says dry from 3pm onwards
Met office has it dry all day.
-
Rory would not be able to guest for Josh anyway as it is a PL guest only for a DU rider.
-
That's not guaranteed, if higher pressure had been over the east of England, the rain would die out before getting into the Midlands, even though it looks like it's heading this way, that isn't the case today though......
Yes true, but there was no high pressure over this country which was known.
When forecasts give over a 95% chance of hours of rain then it is not in doubt. I think they can tell if there is an area of high pressure.
-
Have never really understood calling meetings off hours in advance based on a forecast. Rain either arrives much later than the 'professionals' predict or not at all far too often to take the risk.
Not a forecast but fact

Thanks just worked it out that rules Howarth out as I read it as his average is 5.27
Sorry got that wrong Howarth is 4.98 apologies
Why do you think it is 4.98 Howarth's elite average is 5.27

Why are they out of touch ? all finals cost more money in every sport why should speedway be any different ?
Because some people are not happy if they can't find something to moan about or can't have a dig at Mick Horton.
I assume the same people are going to moan about Poole's prices on Monday.
-
enlighten me please,...is it one sided when a rider will not/ can not ride for
his british club because of polish/swedish etc commitments does it ever happen
a rider willnot/cannot ride for his polish/swedish club because of uk commitments
using guests is getting out of hand anyway imo
Yes it does happen if the rider is British.
-
LINE-UP: Ricky Wells, Danny King, Richard Lawson, Rory Schlein, Jacob Thorssell, Scott Nicholls, Pontus Aspgren, Tobiasz Musielak, Steve Worrall, Oliver Berntzon, Chris Harris, Aaron Summers, Gino Manzares, Peter Karlsson, Lasse Bjerre. RESERVES: Max Clegg, Tom Perry.
That is only 15 riders. Is the 16th rider Joe Jacobs or Chris Harris again.
-
As they are in the other team in the Final, Harris and Garrity should be banned from guesting. Only in British speedway can this happen. Crazy !
As long as you ban Troy as well, oh sorry that is different because he is guesting for Poole.
-
By the great one I assume you mean Swindon's legendary team manager Alun "Mighty" Rosco-tor. In which case your comments on trying to get meetings rained-off are as misguided as many others who come up with similar, ahem, "banter" without noticing that he maintained a consistent viewpoint in each of those rain affected meetings.
No he didn't. He wanted it called off after heat 9 then moaned like hell when it was called off after heat 10.

How can Coventry have a guest for Barker?
Havelock made it clear on Monday that Barker was fit but he wasn't sure about using him in the second leg.
That's fine if he doesn't want to use Barker, but there is no way they should be allowed a guest. Swindon should protest about this.
Oh dear are we getting worried now the track is going to be wet and showers during the meeting.
Replacing an Elite League heat leader with a Premier League Rider.
Never mind The Great One can try and have it called off after 9 heats.

If I recall correctly he pulled out of our meeting at Belle Vue to ride in a Swedish league match? So they gave him the boot and replaced him with Barker who did 3 rides then got injured leaving us only able to use PL guests as EL heat leaders.
For league match read play off meeting

Cradley rider didn't win? I'm guessing someone cheated right?
Yes the referee according to certain Cradley fans.
-
Biased or what, it was a few Wolves fans in the Crowd who were booing him.
And you posting that rubbish from Greaves was not being biased.

And here is what Nathan Greaves alleges happened, taken from his FB page.
Anyone who knows me and my dad personally know we would not cause any trouble, James was cheating over my gate at the start line and in the end I just moved to please him, I gated him and led him for three laps he caught my back wheel trying to pass me and fell off, then he came up to me and said abusive things and shoved his head in my face, so I pushed it away, then he kicked my bike and ran my dad over and knocked him to the floor, to knock a 16stone man to the floor you must be riding into them with force, then his mechanic grabbed me by the neck as I was running so I couldn't breath so my dad hit him, sadly he's unconcious but none of this would of happened if James didn't turn around and except he had fell off and I beaten him, then I went over to whoever was on the floor to see if he was okay and someone from the crowd shouts something about my dad so in temper I obviously react, just wanted to clear that up with everyone who now hates me.
And thats from the horses mouth so to speak, i myself do not condone such behavior, but there are certain circumstances surrounding this, which need to be investigated, Not only the riders, mechanics, but also the starting Marshall and referee, allegedly Nathan Greaves is being reported to the BSPA by the referee, it appears to me, that the same needs to be done of a certain other rider.
What a load of crap.

The yellow exclusion light was put on by the referee when Sarj's bike slowed and it was announced that Greaves had been excluded for unfair riding. This was the cause of the confrontation, what happened next is better not commented on until all the facts come out.
-
The last double header was done in time.
The last Storm one wasn't with the moving curfew.
-
Suppose that's why Cook has a lower EL average than Josh because he is so much better.
Cook has earned his riding as a heat leader whilst Josh has been riding against FTR's and 2nd strings, no comparison

Poole Pirates Vs Coventry Bees 17/6/15
in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Posted
This is the start marshal that was so upset at not being quiet quick enough to get the tapes down in front of Sarj and Jason to stop them from going round to the pit gate for attention to their bikes and then went up to Sarj when he got back to the tapes and grabbed him and started lecturing him.
I believe the same sort of thing went on against Belle Vue with Cookie.
