Boughen's starting average was over 3 points above Perry's. So for Boughen to start at reserve, would have meant replacing Harris with a 6 point rider (roughly guessing averages). Any alternative for another top 5 rider would have been starting at reserve, not Boughen. Naturally fans will want to improve on a weak part of the team, Monarchs fans want a stronger top end (but that means no Grahn at reserve) but with a low points limit, it's not easy to do.

Would bet on PK to get a maximum today (if we don't get rained off). Workington don't look to have anyone capable of beating him. Or Kemp or Jeppesen for that matter. -

It's gone 3:15pm, heavy rain incoming and we still aren't underway. Don't know what the delay is as the P.A. system is unintelligible -

Because of the play offs over here lots of matches are meaningless.I believe the league champions should be the team who as secured the most points over the season thus being able to claim being the best that season.But I understand it’s just my opinion which not everyone will agree with.I am just another supporter lost to the sport used to go week in week to owlerton but when the meeting s became not as regular got used to not going so now unfortunately can t be bothered. -
Redcar definitely be harder for them to beat. If we don't get through the SF then hope Redcar do it just for the entertaining factor of everyone moaning about 3rd place team winning the league 😂 Agree about the Poole track, people been moaning about it for last 20 years. We are on a list with Plymouth, Leicester, Sheffield, Oxford etc.. Also Glasgow didn't have that much passing in first half of the meeting last night. Just gate and stick it on the outside to stay in front. Chris Harris said it and so did Adam McKinna. But definitely more passing last 5/6 races.

I think we all need to remember why we watch sport, and thats to enjoy it, enjoy the really good moments as they don't come round very often. Beating your local rivals in the 30th heat of a semi final should absolutely be savoured. The riders will know that they need to go again with that same intensity of the final. If that doesn't go to plan and they'd held back on the good feeling of the semi final then its celebrations wasted. I'd never criticise any team for celebrating any win in any sport, as long as opposition fans aren't being goaded. Enjoy the smooth as there's plenty of rough which isn't as much fun.

Give yourself peace mate. In a sport that is as selfish and individual rider focussed as speedway it was great to see a team celebration like that. Lets be honest here, the team element in this country for speedway for the most part are as kid on as it gets with multiple riders coming and going mid season, different names every other season and countless guests etc… Last night you could see just how much it meant to riders like Flint, Hodder and Perry etc. Of course the likes of Bomber have been there and done it for the last 20 years but even he was enjoying the moment. This is not football and if anything that sort of reaction last night would only bond the team further to make them all try even harder for the final if that is somehow possible. Great night, great racing and a great result.

The inside was definitely better than it has been, second half of the meeting at least. It’s still not what it was though. Some races were just a race to the dirt and as long as you were on the fence, you were pretty safe. I hope they move back towards how it used to be prepared, because there wasn’t anything wrong with it.

If this is true, right there we have one of the problems with British speedway, riders these days expect, well those days are long gone, the sport isn’t in the position to pander to these demands,some of the things riders expect these days is unattainable and it’s not just top riders, I got told a few weeks back about a current championship rider who wanted a large guarantee to ride in a amatuer meeting, riders deserve the world but unfortunately the cake just isn’t big enough to feed everyone the slice they want

Will Cairns replaces the injured Lewi Kerr. -
Should get a 28 day ban for next season though if a British club is naive enough to sign a rider who thinks it is okay to treat the club who quite frankly have pandered after him all season with no reciprocal loyalty with such disdain.

For anyone wanting to know how Polish media see’s our league 😂 from Thursdays media report in Poland… Takie rzeczy tylko w Anglii. Sheffield Tigers oraz Ipswich Witches rozegrały już swoje półfinałowe spotkania, ale w czwartek zmierzyły się jeszcze w ramach... fazy zasadniczej. Tak właśnie w Premiership odrabia się zaległości. To sprawiło, że Sheffield Tigers, które odpadło w półfinale z Leicester Lions, miało mecz dosłownie o nic na pożegnanie z własnymi kibicami. Z kolei Ipswich Witches, przed którymi jeszcze finał, potraktowało to starcie bardziej jako sparing z wymagającym rywalem. TRANSLATION: Such things only happen in England. Sheffield Tigers and Ipswich Witches have already played their semi-final matches, but on Thursday they faced off again in the... regular season. That's how you make up ground in the Premiership. This meant that Sheffield Tigers, who were eliminated in the semi-finals by Leicester Lions, had a literally meaningless match to say goodbye to their home fans. Meanwhile, Ipswich Witches, who still have the final to play, treated the match more like a friendly against a demanding opponent. -
