Poole Stadium is hosting a Military Tattoo in September. That must be the first non-speedway event at the stadium since the greyhounds ended.

I've been a fan of his for years, and in Aus he can often be as quick as anyone, but has not seemed to produce that same level in either UK or Poland He will need to find quite a few metres to be in the mix at GP level and at 36 years of age that's unlikely.

I’d switch Dan Thompson and Nick Morris around, think Dan and Kyle Howarth would make a better combination and putting Nick Morris with Ryan Douglas wouldn’t impact Morris’ inability to team ride as Douglas generally is a get out front and put head down sort of rider

There is only 5 points between 5th & 9th place (excluding Holder who will get a wildcard) with 4 GP's to go, that covers Woryna, Madsen, Fricke, Dudek & Thomsen. Three of those will likely fill out the top seven. Lebedevs and Doyle, a further six and eight points away, would need a couple of finals, unlikely on this years form, to feature in the seven. Thomsen is having a great season all round but will run out of GP's if Holder and Bewley are back for the last two. Unless the 4th wildcard comes into play from SEC duplication (and he gets it), or Freddie retires he will miss out unfortunately. As regards Kvech, who also will not make next years GP's he is a younger rider (for the modern age), having a great season and still on the improve. Highly likely that he can be a GP regular in the future.

Hurry touches on that again here 😆 https://ipswichwitches.co/witches-boss-hurry-seeks-sweet-silverware-in-premiership-knockout-cup-final/

Easy home win incoming

Just put plenty of material on the track to suit the home riders, that'll help, oh yeah but then again the Leicester manager might moan yet again like last time and get the track altered coz it didn't suit his riders🫢

I think both legs will very close. I’m expecting a Leicester win on aggregate but hoping the witches can battle to a overall win

I know they qualified on merit but to see Tungate and Nilsson in the GP at the expense of Doyle and Fricke is just so poor

I listened to the SGP interview with Richard Coleman in which he discusses similar and it did change my perspective a bit. We definitely can change the race nights to Monday - Thursday without trouble which would be ideal for Poole. However, if Glasgow want to keep Fridays it could present a problem. Every team that goes away to Glasgow will not be able to field a full team if one (or more) of their riders is in the Polish Ekstraliga meaning Glasgow are at an advantage. His comments about doubling up being a problem are good to hear as I think it undermines the integrity of the Premiership. I think it might take the death of the national league and the lowering of the age limit in the Championship to do it but I like the idea. Maybe to set the ball rolling new rules can be put in place to slowly see the change over multiple seasons (max 2 premiership riders in a champ team?).

You could say the same about Lindgren, Lambert (and MJJ IIRC). They (especially Lindgren) got chances to prove themselves but did not take it. However they improved and here we are with all three being really good in SGP.

Tungate will be properly out of it in the GP’s bigtime

Spot on

You found the missing straps?

You prat. I don’t contact admin you do you squealer

Kvech is better than the majority of the riders in that GP Challenge tonight.IMO

I should add that Kemp, IMHO, seems to be settling to the circuit and rode a couple of very shrewd races, adjusting to where the chasing rider wanted to be.

Well mentioned

Yes, good point. Ht 15 especially you could see him riding wide to allow Kemp free rein on the inside line, checking his position repeatedly. Nic's always been about speed and flow in his racing. The track could have been built for him!

I had the same problem with ads especially on you tube, when i go on there now i use Brave not had an ad since.

Spot on, observing the Dugard's is like watching a series of Dallas.

The grahn pass was the hardest for him. The rest of the races he was just trying to slow down the riders to help the other rider pass. He was interviewed afterwards and his mechanic said he'd counted how many times he looked over his shoulder in one of the heats. On one lap alone, he looked over 5 times. Good team rider to have and you dont see that often

It was, if my info is correct.

Kvech replaces Bewley

Agreed didn't get your message
