craig and tate rode well together in 2024 so maybe a good order at home maybe switch craig to 5 away if batch not on form but think he will be ok

Mitch Mcdiarmaid is beating him to that accolade at Oxford tonight but it is only a challenge match. Cook can win the official meeting missing award.

Granted but that was probably against the weakest top league team line up's in history Phil.

Always remember Sam Ermolenko after he won his world title saying i've got the mindset now where when I really need to win a race against the worlds best I can do it and that mentality is what makes the top 1-2% in any sport. After that quip I remember watching Sam v Han's Neilson in a world cup round at Coventry and Han's was probably at that period where he was nigh on invincible in the sport. It came down to which ever one of them finished ahead of the other that Country took the prize Sam gated and Hans looked quicker behind him but sheer skill and racing brain kept the great Dane behind for all four laps, IT was an absolute master class in track craft.

If you swop "attending UK speedway " to "having sex", its a phrase most women have used for centuries, I've never heard it said though........

Yes could only happen in speedway 😂

Decent enough opener with the interest of The Aces taking to the track collectively for the first time this season diverting attention from the lack of racing early on. This winter & recent rain produced a very grippy circuit which we all know is a no no. Probably 4-5 races with any passing and all towards the end so I can see why fans might think it a poor night, the hold ups for Norick didn’t help but I never crumble when an injured rider is being see to and nor should anyone else imo. More positives than negatives from The Aces against the champions elect. Top two and middle order were fine. Norick would have scored well and Tate top scored so that settles the nerves for the coming season. Poor Will had a night to forget but hopefully that’s behind him now and no more ef’s. The Aces were gating better overall than usual and if they manage to get of the start away from home we’ll be set fair for a productive season.

Oh I didnt realise that, I thought knock out competitions were only two legged.

the ko cup is a round robin essentially, Leicester are in this group too.

PK was better than I expected but Jack was very poor, I would expect a much improved performance from him at Owlerton and a fairly easy passage through to the next round of the k o cup for Sheffield.

When bomber guests for them every other week he’ll bring the average age of that team down ..

remember the last time dads army came to the party 👀

He is annoyed by anything Poole do!

Yep !! They are all at it this morning Gustrow, Landshut and Buxton to name 3 lol

Looking at the scores, I felt every rider, except Holder & Cairns could be happy with their scores. Not counting Blodorn who got injured, so both teams can be positive for the season ahrad.

Now it could be just me but does the Rising Star spot appear doomed at Leicester? Go back to the time of Josh Bates and it's not a good track record they have.

A JBA sized error? [It sounded plausible]

I know the government wants us to do more recycling, but this is taking the p1ss!

Wasn’t dirty riding so don’t know who would have suggested that unless they just hate Holder, I don’t particularly like him but it was deffo just a racing incident, he came up the inside and the gap was there as blodorn slightly ran wide but then Norick cut but and the gap disappeared fast, they both collided but technically you could say holder was ahead of him at the time of the incident. I don’t think anyone was to blame really, if you blame holder for those types of passes then you’ll see no racing at all.

Still stings, clearly 🙄 And we’ve STILL to see the resurrection of @AceBelle 😲😂

some good races well worth a watch, baily looks very good.

Between 4th and 17th April this is where to find Polish speedway on TV.

Sour grapes and all that 😂 you barely get 6,000 when the Grand Prix comes into your city 😉

I think it is a good idea. It would save so much time watering the track... And. If, like in the GP's you need to flood tracks akin to biblical proportions, you could just "pop" the fence and gallons of water would instantly cover the circuit... Obviously you would need a repair kit to seal up the hole, but I am sure an ex World Champion could devise an "official one" to be used solely.... The only downside to having the track soaked so quickly though, would be it reduces, considerably, the length of time Phil would be on screen, directing operations... Màybe he could learn juggling and do that for ten minutes, whilst being covered by the cameras?..
