Barker says Harris stamped on him. Which I kinda think the video backs up, be interesting if anything happens
-
So where is this video evidence of this alleged stamp? Bomber's actions look to be those of a very angry man trying to stop a bike with no brakes Barker cut over the centre green to chase after Bomber and clearly said something offensive. Ben Barker commented on Bomber's post to dispute some of it but chose not to dispute or clarify what he said. I'd take from that that Barker doesn't object to what Bomber claims he said. Plenty of comments on what Bomber did, but tumbleweed on a rider threatening to deliberately take another rider out at high speed potentially injuring, paralysing or killing him.

I’d love to see Leon back in bandits colours but I suspect Glasgow will be desperate to retain him especially if howarth isn’t back. I have a completely unfounded suspicion kemp could be back. I think next years team should be started by retaining the 3 Aussies. Reid has already confirmed he is staying, I think Jye will be happy to stay, no idea what Nick will do but fingers crossed he stays. Victor has been very hit and miss. Great when he gates, doesn’t look like he can overtake if he doesn’t.

Yes, I have 😁 ”Bartosz Zmarzlik is set to withdraw from starts in the Swedish Bauhaus-Ligan in 2027! The reason is a new tire agreement that will take effect in the Land of the Three Crowns! Earlier, Robert Lambert was also supposed to protest”. A few Polish tweets going along the same lines about riders dropping Sweden next year. Could well open up opportunities for a few clubs here…. Maybe 😁

But! But! But! I saw a photo of a "Blue Groove!!!! That's the important thing to mention, not the crowd of well over 2,000!!!! "Ahh! But how many of them of them will be back next time with the track looking like that?" Will no doubt be the question asked by some... "Pretty much most if not all of them, and maybe even more" will be the answer..

A suggestion which seems to be made every single year, to aspire to something and stimulate growth... Yet, instead, we dumb down every single year... Maybe using the mean average of all the teams would be a compromise?.. Meaning the lowest teams have head room, (but not unreachable head room), to improve, and the top teams don't have to decimate their septet by reducing loads of points...
-
GB, Sweden and Denmark ran full programmes, with the obvious risk of injuries... I would have thought that the organisers would have had the riders out in Poland for the week doing publicity for the meeting, and being in a "team camp" together... Adding a bit of "gravitas" to the event, particularly as it now isn't every season.. It looks just like another run of the mill meeting when nothing is done differently...

I have to say that the track was a lot better last night than the last time I visited. Several outside overtakes. But I do have a serious question. As some of you will know, I'm a big fan of men or ladies, with rakes. I think we've lost a lot by not raking the corners AND the starts between every race. I don't know any club that rakes the starts anymore. Sad really when some (several) meetings are seriously influenced by strong or graveyard gates. But credit where credit is due. Nearly. Poole do have rakers on the bends. But I do have to ask. Why do they simple pull the berm from the foot of the air fence and pull it in two or three feet? Great for adding to the outside run but does nothing to improve the area of the track down low that develops the inevitable blue groove from about heat 8. Spray the raked shale across the full width of the corner galls and guys and then let the tractor grader spread it out evenly. You might just end up with two or more racing lines!

So, No PK next year, Not sure if Victor will be back either. Already looking like a very different Bandits lineup in 2027. Personally I'd start with Nick Morris, Reid Battye and Jye Etheridge. I wonder if Flint would be a possibility to replace PK? Other riders i'd like to see considered - Mitch Macdermid, Kevin Juul Pedersen, Jody Scott. Thoughts?????

Why do you have to go on attacking Plymouth what have they actually done to upset you personally? Your track your business our track our business were you there last night? I doubt it, were you watching on tv if you were and our track is so crap why were you watching your insults are quite silly aren’t they, who on earth would A/comment on something they were not there to witness B/pay money to tune in to watch something whic in your eyes is crap, you would not part with your money at the cinema if you thought something was crap, so why would you part with your money to watch something which in your eyes is crap on tv.or is it just your twit for tat childish attitude, I hope your team win the league good luck to them I just don’t think you need to lower yourself to the insults I’m sure your better than thst

At last something other than a track whin.. British Speedway setting the championship team average lower in order to make the Premiership look superior is such a bad joke, it totally pathetic management. Time for a new UK Speedway Authority, or new team to manage the existing one. If the aim was to degrade the UK version of the sport you couldn't do a better job.

By all means use poor old worky as an example 😭. But imo if you lower the team building average, what riders do ride in a weakened league will have a very false very high average at the end of the season, then where do you go. Also a weakened product should have a lower price to attend, but no them in charge dictate that the minimum admission price is £20, promoters are not allowed to charge lower than this, even if they wanted to try and attract more fans by saying have a meeting at £15. So if 38 limit is used looks like Poole will have Lawson cairns Rushen lightcap as the basis of the team, that's if Poland don't bring in the Poland plus 1 other league rule
