Troy Batchelor.

He’s just presenting the facts,You’re the one who mentioned bribery..

I think the Bandits will run it close, reserves will play a heavy part in tonight, I'd expect Wood and Smith to score a few more points tonight.

Tonight is quite simply a must win and must take the bonus point. Berwick have a couple of handy riders round the dale. Jeppesen is an unknown and unsure how Morris will go with him just coming back.

But he didn't, so you're saying Poole bribed the referee

The best and most positive aspect of the final was that it took place in July as planned rather than in monsoon conditions in mid October Below par track surfaces, poorish racing and the finalists and winners being significantly influenced by facilties and guest options still an issue when in comes to integrity and the likelihood of enhanced national profile

Which Troy will turn up?

And of course, having his best time in speedway, when he rode for Poole in the late 90s

so the poole start marshal didnt go on track to remove tapes after poole gated but left them when oxford gated it is against rules for anyone to go on track when racing is under way ref should have stopped the re run in ht 15 once the start marshal went on track

Good luck Worky

Loram went straight into the top league with Hackney in 1987…. Moved down with Hackney in 88 and moved to Ipswich in 89 before going back up with Kings Lynn in 1990

Getting some practice in for next weeks GP challenge maybe 🤷‍♂️

You clearly don't get out enough.

There was noticeable dust from heats 1-4, Mr Dickson explained track prep prior to heat 1, then as he said he would watered the track after heat 4, this arguably left it a little too wet, especially in turns 3 & 4. I was stood on turn 1 and didn't get bothered by any dust at all during the whole night and I'm the first to move at the first hint of dust hitting me. The only place I saw any dust was when it was heading towards turn 2 and the pits, so @tellboy could have moved to literally any other part of the stadium to have avoided it.

Congrats to Leicester on winning the KO Cup, and the double for you Leicester fans is certainly on. On the meeting itself, didn't really think Lynn had much of a shout after Monday's draw, but as they proved at Foxhall a couple of weeks ago, Klindt at reserve can rack up the points, so anything was still possible. On Heat 6, we all see it differently, but after seeing Kerr's pass quite rightly allowed against Dan Thompson at Foxhall (Just Hard Racing)i feel it was the correct decision to exclude Klindt, but again just my opinion, and it had no effect on the overall result whatsoever. But i must admit, even though Lewi Kerr wasn't great on Monday, to leave him out for an old and still injured Scott Nicholls was mind numbing, Scott hasn't even had 1 ride at this level in 12 Months and Lynn throw him in for a Final. Bad choice for me, but again, Kerr might not of made much improvement on the score. Lynn were superb at Foxhall in 2nd Leg, and it's all If's and But's, but if Iversen was riding that night, i'm not so sure Lynn would of got through, especially going on Monday and Thursday's scores, but they did and they totally deserved to go through. Now it's time for teams to complete their League Campaign's and see what the Play Offs Bring, top 4 has been welded in since the 1st week of the season, let's see how the Semi Final's pan out and hope the season finishes on a high with 6 cracking meetings. Then of course, for another day, where will UK Speedway be this time next year with what teams race and in what league. Congrats again to those Lions Riders and Supporters.....

Fair enough, I don't know of any riders complaining about it either, it does have an adverse effect on viewing though imo.

Tellboy what meeting did you attend last night because I was on bend 2 for the whole meeting and at no point was there excessive dust so I could not see the racing proven back by also watching the video’s back online there was never any dust to effect viewing . There was no more then any other track I have visited this season or in previous seasons.

Will's GSA now down to 3.74 after 7 matches. That will do nicely if the GSA AV only cover matches in regular League season (i.e 16 maches). There are 3 matches left (1 hone - 2 away) so with Poole comfortably inplay offs and good chance the would be top. I would suggest Will is told to just enjoy getting track time & experience in those 3 matches and not push it. We could in effect see him nearer 3 than 4 which for team building 2026 would be a bonus if you factor in possible Rushen 2 - Bailey 4 plus Will on maybe 3.50. In effect 9.50 points for 3 of the brightest young talents in the sport. That would leave approx 30.5 for the top 4. Lawson 9.5/9.75 - Rowe 7.75/8(maybe lower as he is riding partly injured) - Cook or another 7.35/7.5 pus a rider maybe up to 5. You would expect Cairns to push on an add to his expected closing 2025 GSA and as for Rushen & Bailey ?. Well who knows but expect more upside in than their combined current GSA's.

Was raining but i think it has brightened up now.

Why was qualifying cancelled - is it poor weather?
