Please please enlighten us as to who you think will not make it a borefest and why the riders you want will be more of a challenger than the 3 I mentioned Becker Thorsell….. come on you seem to know the answers but have named nobody If the Russians aren’t in then on pure ability and the chance to actually be in finals it’s 3 from Fricke Michelsen Doyle and Vaculik

8 competing teams confirmed ( licences pending) Rybnik Bydgoszcz Krosno Rzeszow Poznan Lodz Ostrow Pila

8 competing teams confirmed ( licences pending) Torun Lublin Wroclaw Grudziadz Zielona Gora Czestochowa Gorzow Leszno

Yes but it does seem to get a lot of overly critical flack compared to other tracks. Maybe its because we make so many finals so get more than our fair share of tv coverage or more likely people who have a dislike of Poole and there are a lot, like to use it against us.

12pm UK time

give the fans what they want, a chris harris play off final appearance

He's replacing the #1, so it's OK: 011.4.2 Guest Rider (G) b) a rider may ride as a guest (in an official meeting) at a track only once in an 8 day period (within that league) excluding Play Offs, unless he is replacing the home teams #1 or is ONLY declared in a British Development League Team

It was said they started watering before 5 so an area that had quite a bit of rain a day or two previously needed watering!

Anyone any idea as to why Anders could barely walk in the pits after his 2nd ride? Havvy was avin to help him walk

When they first announced SGP2 before I read that it was just a new name for the U12s, I thought a competition for the 16th-31st best riders in the world would be interesting. Top 3 into the GPs? Winner of each round gets a wildcard in following GP? Probably fairer than SEC as Aussies & Yanks get a equal chance of qualifying.

But they were watering the track shortly before the start of the meeting 🤷‍♂️

Well I've thoroughly enjoyed me toast n butter 😀 I didn't involve the jam as I'm saving that for further more appropriate celebrations. Currently enjoying me celebration flat white ☕ in Costa Cleveland Centre 😀 @Neila

Noooo 😬😥

Wildcards announced today

But, depending on how long Lawson's compassionate leave lasts, Ellis won't be usable next Friday due to the '8-day rule'!

New date Friday 10th October 5.30pm UK time

The rule is ANY rider who has a British Speedway established average can be considered a guest, so long as their converted average fits. For Premiership riders that only usually leaves a few possibilities such as covering for the very top riders as in this case. When you look at the other top averaged Championship riders they are mostly Redcar, Glasgow or Poole riders, none of which can be considered. The rest you would argue are not on a par with the top rider in the league at this time in Richard Lawson. Obviously the very top Premiership riders wouldn’t be eligible in any case not least their average would be hideously high. So Adam Ellis for Richard Lawson is one of the few situations this would work.

For anyone interested MM has given his first interview after Denmarks run in SoN, safe to say he wasn’t happy: "I'd rather not comment on that. looked like a fu****g clown or an idiot. I think that if the plan from the start was to keep me as a reserve, it was worth giving someone else a chance. It's possible that the things I managed to do this season with my team in Torun weren't enough to represent Denmark,"

Anyone with insight as to veracity of Keynan Rew returning to Leszno?

Think its always been a rule , certainly used to be double the elite average for premier. some huge averages in 2000s when EL riders dropped a league. Ray morton, ben howe, armando castanga , garry stead. Sure were more that same season.

I'm not so sure, Poole won on aggregate by 12 points, so even another 6 point home win, will put the pressure on Redcar, especially after this loss. I think Poole will get a bigger win though, as they'll be high on confidence after rescuing another final.

That’s who Travis was guesting for at Newport👍

I don't think they doctored the track. It looked like a typical October time track to me. Greasy and damp. It was alway going to stay that way with the cold air imo

Happened for years. We had Harris guesting for Wato in 05 or 06 when Wato had a high average and was out for season with broken ankle. Mads K whilst full time with Swindon also guested for us a couple of times.

Very sad news. Never saw him in the UK but saw him ride at Rosebank Speedway, New Zealand, a few times. RIP Ryan.
