Speedway isn't for you then clearly.

I like a good balanced mixture of brains and balls.

Aarnio and Berge scored 1 point between them at the Abbey and were woeful Auty is better than both of those riders whatever happens Belle Vue need to make a change.

We do but we need to do better than the 3 riders mentioned here, two go ok at the NSS whilst do nothing away, the other one does nothing home and away.

Think the rule regarding ‘ if the race is stopped after 1st bend someone has to be excluded “ needs revised.That was definitely a case of All 4 back. IMO.Racing incident, you could have excluded Worrell, Wright or Stark depending how you viewed it.

The rule is actually 'if the race is stopped the referee shall exclude the culprit' - there's no 'first bend doesn' t count' caveat.    

So if referees are allowed to regularly ignore that rule  by ordering 'all four back' re-runs after a bingle on the first turn, they can theoretically do so at any stage, on any lap. 

Which would lead to all sorts of stuff, l fear. 

Last night, the rider 'who was the cause of the stoppage' was maybe 25% Stevie Worrall, 75% Paul Starke.  Never Charles Wright.

The problem is there are many occasions where a ref has to exclude somebody as the "cause" of the stoppage when actually it was purely a racing indecent. I agree its ok to bring all 4 back from the first corner but if four riders stay four abreast into turns 3&4 and all come down somebody has to be excluded. If after 1 lap a dog runs onto the track the ref will have to put the red lights on but who gets excluded? by the letter of the law somebody has to.

EPIC fail on charles surname on the British sPEEDWAY SITE . CANT EVEN SPELL WRIGHT.  who is charles wight  ?

are these people getting paid to do this website ? abysmal  pr . 

The BSPA website is abysmal full stop to be honest from design to content.  As someone that's dabbled in web design it's fundamentally a cluttered mess, it was not great before this redesign, even worse now. I would argue it may have looked ok 10-years ago, but these days it's way below standard.

Well chuffed for charles wright, always said that when him an his brother james rode for workington that charles had more potential an boy is he showing it now. 

Take a bow charlie boy, definitely the best rider on show last night an rode wider an wider full throttle as the night went on. 

Have to say I was disappointed with craig cook, for someone who was a gran prix rider just a year ago an on a track he knows so well he pulled up no trees, an was beaten by wright quite easily on two occasions. 

Once again congratulations mr wright, a well deserved winner.

Midget, do you think Cooks broken wrist might have hampered his riding last night.?

I actually think you need to go back to trying to win heavier at home as this trying to get riders to be better away is not working.With Wells it did not work and you relinquished a chance of having two really decent reserves.Your biggest problem is the track you have is so brilliant other teams love going there and the home advantage is nil.

[OveFundinFan 4,136]

Perhaps someone from Poole (Steve Shovlar?) could advise BV where to put the pot holes in the track so the home side could have an advantage.

could’ve caused him not riding the deep stuff like king and wright were. Seemed to to stay lower down away from it. 

But then again maybe not could’ve been a case of just not quick enough. 

[OveFundinFan 4,136]

Cookie is a fast rider, his problem is, IMO, he is not a really clever rider ie track craft

A broken bone in his hand is hardly a broken wrist ..he just ain’t good enough .
