speedybee 295 Posted October 10, 2018 So stultifyingly boring in its predictability that I even forgot it was on tonight until 8.45 and was happily listening to the Folk show on Radio 2 until I remembered there was speedway on. Hardly worth the bother of opening the app. And that’s the supposed climax of the season. How badly does speedway need a makeover! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No the climax of the speedway season comes from the real league - The Championship with it's semi-finals, final and the KO Cup and Shield Final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graz gp 184 Posted October 10, 2018 Very boring. Big changes needed. Over to the bspa. But not very hopeful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hrhbig 69 Posted October 10, 2018 A spectacle it was not, both meetings being quite ordinary, but remember that Poole have in the past suffered the same fate as King Lynn did tonight, so congrats to the Pirates, and condolences to the Stars...maybe next year.

And I'm not so sure Palm Toft was going to have 7 rides tonight!! If Ellis gets 7/8 from his programmed rides and Howarth 8/9 from 5 I don't think it would be too far off what the 2 Danes would have scored!! Well Howarth & Ellis scored 6 between them. Palm Toft would have got that, let alone Iversen. Which Poole riders do you think capable of taking points off Iversen? I watched the first 4 heats, that was enough. Thankfully, I don't have much interest in this section of the forum anymore. The South Coast Swagger this close season will ensure I steer well clear.

Prince Regent 16 Posted October 10, 2018 As a neutral, I had to feel for KIng's Lynn. Losing on aggregate by 4 (the minimum the referee cost them in the first leg - and I'm sorry, but the KL rider did not cross the line into the infield with both wheels tonight); losing two influential riders, not even nearly adequately covered by the guests; and finishing 9 points ahead of Poole in the table...it's pretty sickening for them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,243 Posted October 10, 2018 Well, glad that's over.. Well done Poole, a nation rejoices... I am sure lots of coverage in the Daily's tomorrow and on the National news bulletins, given the amount of kudos gained from becoming a British Speedway Team Champion..... It must be soon time to start the 'Most important AGM ever, ever, ever" thread surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
