    It will be interesting to see the final signings for Poole but looks like they could be a strong team if they get the last 3 right which I am sure Ford/Middleditch will!

    On the Poles, personally think Szczepaniak will be ok but wont set the world alight but he will be dependable and hold his ave at least. Woryna on the other hand is a very different proposition. Watched him many times at Coventry and saw many glimpses of brilliance. He has obviously improved immensely in the last 2 seasons and I would be amazed if he didn't translate that into some excellent performances for Poole. In fact I will be so bold as to predict a 7+ ave by the end of the season. But he brings much more as he is a lovely lad and had loads of time for the supporters especially the younger ones. Both astute signings IMO.

    Agree that Kacper will do ok not sure about Szcepaniak though. Woryna was only 19 when he come over to ride for Coventry and was quite inconsistent I would expect that will be different for 2018.

    Elbows kicks and bites. As i said, we are lucky to have speedway on the TV.

     

     

    I would be more interested in bt sports showing league racing than the gp series. We can watch the gp on numerous tv platforms but not league racing.

     

    When will we find out if bt are interested in continuing showing league racing would be my question.

     

    For once I agree with these 2 posters! Starry is right - all we hear from a good proportion on this forum is moaning about speedway and the way it is ran but we expect a major TV company to show British Speedway.

     

    And I also prefer to watch league racing rather than the GP's, personal opinion of course but one I share with Steve.

  3. They are certainly not happy! Brandon is a village and it will double the size of it, infrastructure isn't in place for 140 odd new homes. They've reduced the number of houses and added some open areas with paths for dog walkers etc. How long after the houses are built will they want to build more on these open areas?

     

    So true Warren. I have an employee who lives down the road from the stadium and he and all his neighbors are not happy. Most have objected but the council have just said they will take into account all residents views! :cry:

    I realise this video has been around for a while , but it is an opportune moment to remind us of the history of Brandon Stadium.

    Don't forget to switch on the sound.

     

    Great memories in there Dave. Been going since 1972! :cry:

  4. Swindon are now clearly favorites but a lot will depend on firstly if Doyley puts it all in 100% and how fit Ellis really is.

     

    Could be closer than people think.

     

    Nice to see the sore loser from Poole chomping away still

     

     

    The weather looks like it will behave itself for both legs...

     

    I think it will be close.

     

     

    Show me where you or anyone else predicted differently.

     

     

     

    There's 2 for a start off!!!

  5. Wolves without Lindgren and Thorsell Would be nowhere near as strong as Poole. With very limited choice of guest and r/r it will be a stroll in the park for Swindon. It really has just been handed to the robins on a plate. All they have to do is turn up. Seriously.

     

     

    What a shame the grand final has now turned into the biggest anti climax the sport has seen since the inception of the playoffs.

     

    Your predictions don't get any better do they Steve?!


  6. Has anyone made the link between Brandon Estates and Sandhu yet? Pretty obvious they are connected.

     

    I hope the council point blank refuse Brandon Estates any planning permission. Let them sit on Brandon for a decade or more.

     

    I know you have always held this view Steve but I personally don't think he is connected with Brandon Estates. Could well be wrong and I guess it will all come out at some stage!


  7. not convinced its the cleverest team talk,should be trying to motivate the team to make the play-offs if only for a 40k take on the gate even if we got trounced in the semi,middlo walking around like a lost sheep and a poor crowd for august

     

    I think it depends on the individual Keith. Some riders could be really fired up by comments like that from the 'boss' whilst others might think why should I bother! I do think it is very odd that Middlo is so quiet on the teams under performing though.
