For me, the top three are nailed on. The bottom two are sadly also nailed on. The most exciting battle appears to be between the Lions and Lynn for the play offs. The big guns have two GP level riders who can step up in heats 13 &15. The Lions have an out and out No.1, weak reserves and a balanced main team body in between. Lynn however have gone for the ultimate balance with six riders on 6+ averages. Neither team has the obvious fire power in the latter heats of matches, but I’m interested to see which team structure of the two is the most successful.

Good match tonight on a well-prepared track. Several good races, the best being the 3-man tussle in Heat 14 with Leon Flint grabbing a very important 2nd on the line. Leon had done something similar in heat 10 after a great race with Jonatan Grahn and these two last bend overtakes went a long way to bringing the Tigers victory. A fine home debut by Oskar Polis and personally I would have gone for an Oskar Victor pairing in Heat 15, but I've a feeling it wouldn't have changed the result. Still quite optimistic for the season ahead.

As you say currently and it is that way because certain stars are not performing not because there is an imbalance and I believe this may be down to air temperature and certain tuners struggle until the weather gets warmer, and for those who laugh at that statement then maybe you should go an ask certain riders why they can’t seem to get their engines to perform right,my point was about rider to rider with Mike saying Ipswich have better riders 1-7 and I said that’s not right because MJJ is currently a better than Doyle or sayfutinow or indeed anyone in the Ipswich line up, he is currently the fastest rider in the world and tonight in Poland again showcasing his form, people seem to forget that after get trounced by Leicester at home Birmingham went to Leicester and but for zagar have an EF on the start line of heat 13 would of come away with a win and have also come the closest to beating Ipswich this season and even when they had a rider missing and their no1 having a shocker still managed more than either belle vue or Oxford at Ipswich

Pretty rubbish from a so called no 1 considering it’s a similar track to EWR..can’t wait for the excuses it’s the start of the season so trying to find the right set up..it was overwatered etc etc

I think the decision to put Sedgmen in 15 can just about be justified by the fact he won heat 13 on what looked to be a different bike from his first 3, so the hope was he would pop out the start the same again. Going with Paco however was a terrible decision, assuming Polis didn't turn it down, while his time in heat 14 wasn't quick he is a good gater, all that being said I don't think anyone was beating Dan Thompson tonight it was a faultless display. Palovaara as others have said was underused should have been nailed on to replace Thomson in heat 9.

And the fact that Victor didn't get 7 rides.

Agree and that's why he should have been in heat 15. No bonus tonight when a team manager doesn't select the best riders on the night. Second in a two horse race.

Jake Allen rode well but slim pickings other than that

Bonus is a least Polis can ride Armadale.

Looks like a short season for Scunny this year, Worrall is not a no1 and it’s time for Lambert to go.

Tesco Bathagte always have few, for anyone down that way.

Firstly Glasgow showed their strength in depth in top 5 when Bomber had an off night by his high standards. They still managed to win. Dan T was outstanding. A wise choice by Cammy to take gates in heat 15. ( did I just write that?) But the Edinburgh manager's selection in heat 15 beggars belief. We aren't going to do anything in the BSN series so why not give Victor and Oscar heat 15. See how they coped in that situation. An in form reserve gets only 5 rides and the MOTM only his 4 rides. Absolutely shocking. Makes me wonder if certain riders have been guaranteed heat 15 this season.

Thanks. That makes sense of him going from leading comfortably to crossing the finish line in third at around 4MPH in heat one.

Tell them thanks next time you talk to them.

We certainly love to gift teams victories. Sedgy and Kye awful. Cost us the match tonight.

Bloody hell,you sound like Robbie Savage 😂

Harris engine in his No.1 bike gave up in heat 1

Seems like you're stuck in 2015, rather than in the present. Musielak & Janowski are declining & Zagar is way way over the hill. These 3 are nowhere near "World Class." They can still have "World Class" moments but that's it, moments. They're absolutely no better than the 3 you compare then too, especially in England. What's the point in arguing that MJJ is better than Doyle & Sayfutdinov?? Can MJJ score 31 points a meeting for Birmingham?? The divide the the Premiership at the start of the season was huge. Sheffield losing Woffinden & their 2 changes has dragged them in now with Leicester & King's Lynn. A lose to any of the top 3 riders at Belle Vue & Ipswich will suck them down massively too. But it's absolutely certain that Birmingham & Oxford won't be close to the Play-Offs. Currently, the Premiership is this:- 1, Ipswich 2, Belle Vue 3, Sheffield 4, Leicester 5, King's Lynn 6, Oxford 7, Birmingham The gaps are that big from top to bottom, it's clear and obvious to (almost) everyone.

We can forgive him one bad meeting as he has been consistently very good second time around. But winning without the usual double figure score from Bomber and without the reserves chipping in made the result closer than it could have been. You could counter that with the under par performance from Sedgmen and Thomson, but another away win in the bag will do nicely

Yes, but from Tesco. I wasn’t at Armadale tonight, I bought Edinburgh‘s live stream for £12.99 which was great value for money.

Did you get your Speedway Star?

Not sure your friend said that a few days ago. But absolutely keep us if you want, we are honking.

What paper are you using for this? And why are you comparing heatleaders riding at 1 and 5 to second strings riding at 2,3 and 4?

Flint's ride in ht14 was brilliant. He was much faster than i've seen him round Armadale before. Harris's performance was as unusual as Sedgmen's - one to forget for both of them.

That was a bizarre decision, but I’m not complaining. Sedgmen had just won heat thirteen, so I could understand if Castagna’s spot in the final heat was under threat, but to overlook Polis, dare I say it, cost the meeting.
