He can come back to Poole any day

For a team that, after Sheffield lost Woffy, had, at least, a one point advantage in the averages, over the nearest team, they should walk the league.. Especially when you consider that the team building is based on 14 heats and they have Emil and Doyle in most H15's so, in reality, that one point advantage in averages is probably around three, given those two will "4-2" at worst, many H15's... All their riders were in the top two for their positions if you could cherry pick them, with several being the best for that riding number... The reduction for UK riders was used brilliantly by Chris Louis to get this septet together... Brennan was a main HL for Brum last year and rides now at the easier No3 position.. Their RS was considered the best.... Ellis and King have struggled sometimes at No3 but this year don't have that pressure... And, in Dan T, they have an excellent No6, with a great future in the sport... Add in a truly World Class spearhead and I thought no one could live with them... Still easily the team to best if all hit their straps but I would imagine there are some doubts creeping in...

I wasn't p1ssed off leaving foxhole last night #justsaying 🤣

Same here, Don't recall ever leaving a stadium pissed off and angry before, but last night I was fuming. Don't want to hear any excuses, ah so and so had bike problems, a bit of bad luck etc. It's happened one too many times now. This team is not going to win anything this year if they continue to perform like this. Kings Lynn were fired up and fighting for every point, that was clear, we just seemed to be out for a gentle stroll. With the team we have on paper, these performances are just not good enough.

Definitely no contact. it was an excellent ride by Thompson to work his way under Kerr off the second bend - he had tried it the previous lap and obviously thought if he got it right it would work, and it did. Unfortunately, he then made entirely the wrong choice entering the first bend on the final lap - I wonder if the track had got Thompson confused, and he thought he'd be better off trying to put his back wheel on the grippy line, instead of trusting the inside that had served him so well? As it is, Kerr saw a big gap, took advantage, and Thompson had nowhere to go on the outside, which offered nothing at all. The Ref would have had a clear view. When offered such a gap, any rider would have done what Kerr did - if it had been an Witch inside a Star, I'm sure the fans would have been miffed if the Witch had been excluded. Overall, the Witches should never have been in the position of needing three 5-1s in the last three heats at home! KL did just about everything right - and earned a (cough) well-deserved aggregate victory.

Quite worrying that it’s been two weeks and we’ve not signed a replacement, meanwhile Plymouth have made a great move to strengthen after their rider got injured within 3/4 days. In the words of Victor “he who hingeth aboot getteth hee haw”

Catch up match on Monday 21st Czestochowa v Gorzow Czestochowa 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Gorzow 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

I still think Brennan already thinks he has made it now he is in Poland. What’s the crack with before the meeting when they go to practise the starts he first rides round popping wheelies, I hope it’s to do his balance and not to actually practise celebrations because he didn’t even pop one last night after coming last a few times! Rocks up in a tricked out motor like a boss and Emil and Doyle just just a basic ford customs size van and they are the real superstars. Saw them both hop in one van last night with Kvech and they both looked p!ssed off… probably because nobody put in a shift and they almost dragged us into the final. Woke up today and read Hawkins comments, at least he is honest and basically said everyone was sh!t apart from Doyle and Emil. If they go and get 60+ next week vs Birmingham I think it’ll annoy me even more when it doesn’t count to hardly anything.

Brief shower or two in the morning some light rain in the afternoon and speedway at night

I rest my case lol

I remember Newport vs Bv at a rain soaked Newport in 2000, Ben Howe beating Peter Nahlin and Jason Lyons from the back multiple times. Superb.

Maybe not enough? He may potentially need the Championship as a confidence builder for him…

But good enough for these purposes, anyway giving the current forecast on virtually every site for tomorrow night I see little chance of the meeting going ahead.

I’d like to see again too, like you say if I’m wrong hold my hands up but from our angle looked a stone wall decision

It’s YOU who has the rose tinted glasses on Buttons. Not only was there no contact, it wasn’t even close! I probably had the best view in the house for this incident. Up in the VIP box between first and second bend thanks to Arch. Fact is, Dan passed Kerr up the inside going up the back straight. That then took him wide around bends three and four. Kerr then came steaming down the inside of Dan down the home straight, Dan saw him coming through, panicked and laid it down. I hope this heat gets replayed via rerun so everyone can see. If I’ve got it wrong, I’ll hold my hands up. Pretty sure I haven’t though.

Killeen rode well, wouldn't have taken him out but I was a touch surprised Palovaara got a 4th ride which should have gone to Killeen (Mitch was already in ht 14). An astute tactician would have put Mitch in ht 12 for Killeen as well. As it turns out I doubt it would have made any difference. The other questionable decision was ceding gate choice to the Aces for ht 15 [gate 4 scored just 9 pts all night]

Thursday nights are made for speedway

Lucky Poland!

you sound like you are in the school playground ! hopefully promoters will be more mature about it all than you

The expected away win. Oxford really are awful.

Performing well above expectation in Poland

If Rob came in how on his 7.81 average he finished 2023 (2019) with, he would fit perfectly for Cook using the full 40.0 limit…

Anyone who was there would have seen Chris Louis standing over bends one and two before two breaks in the match and then speak to the tractor driver to explain what is needed. I just think some of our riders were way off the pace and we can say it’s the track or the call in heat 14 but end of the day they’ve done us multiple times this season so let’s just admit we’re are not what we once thought we were a few months back. Jenkins wouldn’t have got many more than Edwards so it’s just a very very very poor home performance and the biggest joke it was Hawkins stated on Monday, we have bigger fish to fry on Thursday… that one aged well didn’t it. First time this season I’ve came away from Foxhall genuinely P!ssed off with majority of the team. All these 60-30 wins and you can’t beat your local rival when it matters.

Well done the Stars on that result. Congratulations. the Witches have more pressing issues all firing for September. I can’t see past them for the aggregate win over any team in the top 4. Some of them had a proper wobble tonight. save it till September.
