i thought the stream was excellent .the meeting was just as good .i thought when we got heat 14 and 8 points down i was thinking after heat 15 we just may be 16 points down which we are not  everything to play for 

Yes Ray I think 10 points down is a good result, when we went 6 points down after a good start I was fearing 16 down which I think would have been too much to overcome. There were critical points in the second half that helped like Rorys pass on Nicol, maybe Hume was a bit unlucky as I thought he rode well but Ben Cook was poor, we will need better from him at home.

Thought the Basso/Brennan decision was correct but a howler from the ref in Heat 2. Excluding Marcin for a non-existent tape touch and screwing the gate 4 advantage for the Tigers. Could be very costly.

I was on the far side and was convinced he never touched them, if he didn't then that is a horror decision, especially in such an important meeting.

Last ever?! I better go then! Even though I'm gonna be a bit tight on time. 

Can’t see it being last ever when Danny Ford has said in the paper about plans for 2022 and riders already signed.

Hardly conclusive evidence, Kent had already made announcements about 2022 and look where they are now.

True but someone I don't know saying it on a forum isn't exactly conclusive either is it and he said could be last meeting so he's covered himself.

A good team performance from Glasgow last night but will 10 points be enough......will need Cook, Wells and Brennan to score about 9/10 points apiece at least.

Poole are strong at home but if the Tigers get stuck in early on they can do it.

Back  now at Gatwick. Very easy and good way to go. Just a shame COP26 was on to mess up hotels. Happy with the ten point gap. Think we will do it.

I sit directly under the referee and yes Marcin moved but he did not touch the tapes, never seen an exclusion light come on so quick in all my years of attending speedway. His decision to exclude Marcin was shocking, the exclusion of Tom was the right one as there was no contact and Tom was trying to go through a non existent space

Watched it back on stream 100% didn't touch tapes. Then thought maybe it's for delaying start, but Zach cook was last to tapes. An absolute howler of decision don't know why management didn't show ref the replays. That's a 2/4 point swing right there

Glad you enjoyed it Steve and that you are optimistic for Thursday.thought our heat leaders were disappointing. Glasgow fans were whingeing about the basso Brennan incident but clearly there was no contact basso was ahead and therefore it was for Brennan to ease off.

hope our track is similar to KO final-best it’s been for a while

We weren't whingeing, just trying to influence the referee after his shocker in heat 2.

Agreed about Heat 2, terrible decision. It isn’t over yet as this is speedway! If or heat leaders ride as they normally do, we should be ok + Cook rides h & c at Poole normally. It should be a good meeting

Come down and see if the rules and all is fair. You may need a trip to the Optician first to check that you are seeing things correctly. 

Don't think so!!!!

I know who it is  But it could be track side rumours heard last night? Another one was we were going to a stream!
