Newsflash. Russian atrocities didn't start with Ukraine. Do you know anything about Russian history? If not, try asking any of the following... Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Hungary, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Chechnya, Georgia, Afghanistan, Syria, Japan, China or South Korea to name but a few. And that's not to mention the crimes against their own people, either. The Soviet Union specialised in rapid, industrialised internal terror, political purges, and ideological subjugation that killed millions of its own citizens.

So did Scunny for the cup final in 2023. But a play-off final isn't a cup final. It's bigger than that - it decides the league championship

The back injury flares up whenever he goes over the speed bumps entering Armadale. Shouldn’t be an issue in Czechia.

Is it normal pricing at poole next Wednesday?

I see Plymouth have got the begging bowl out stating if they dont raise 46k for a new air fence they wont be open next season! Have promotions over the years that making such threats does no good? Anyone with half a brain cell isn't going to invest in a new fence for a club that isn't financially able to afford it themselves.

Written in the stars! And an ex Belle Vue rider.

Very welcome to change at last. 5 riders per team for Danish league meetings was never a good system.

Indeed, lucky for everyone his average dropped enough to replace Jack both home and away...

Its been a nice little earner for Fricke with four extra meetings he didn't expect. The Sheffield colours seem to suit him more than the Kings Lynn colours.

A "True No1" is the 'be all and end all' when it comes to big meetings. They are and always will be your match winners. Strength in depth will forever fall short when it really matters. Leicester using Douglas over Fricke killed them over the 2 meetings that matter most. You need a "Team" to get you to the Play-Offs but "True No1s" to get you over the line. Saying what-if's with Masters or Howarth is irrelevant because we all know, there's a reason they're all 6.00- average rider's. Because they're average, thus making them inconsistent.

Just got through three vehicle pileup. Will be long delays behind us.

Ask the Indians about the benefit of the British Empire. Next time you throw stones at Russia, take a closer look in the mirror.

A34 closed due to accident south of Didcot. Four cars from collision police closed carriageway. Might have a long wait. .

Come on Dean tell us what sort of things you mean, thats really interesting stuff to know.

I know not everyone agrees with the play-off system but when you get drama like that there's nothing better. You see riders like Joe Thompson who suddenly have the meeting of their career and nearly become the hero, Leon Flint had a poor night until effectively saving Sheffield in heat 14 when a Leicester heat advantage looked nailed on. And that's before you get to the final two races. Hoping we get something similar in the final!

All the best to the Scorpions and the Pirates tonight. Hopefully I’ll manage a break from sending Cami Brown strongly worded emails to watch some of the action on BSN.

I’ve got an eye injury from watching him try to ride a speedway bike last Friday.

Mario Hausl who has a back injury, gets a bit recovery time. Will he be in Pardubice this weekend? Will he be fit for next week?

Totally agree. And with regards to next season I hope he is not at Leicester.

It beggars belief how appallingly bad these sides are away from their own dungheap .

At least BSN made it their business to find out what was going on and inform their viewers. It's a pity that the norm at most (all) clubs is to leave the paying public at the circuit completely in the dark. For the record, my understanding is that there is a rule that if a tyre becomes unsafe, a rider may replace it with a spare but only one that has a similar level of wear but that is still safe to use. Obviously, the "similar level of wear" bit is open to interpretation and can lead to accusations of cheating. Steady, last night, was obviously trying to make sure that one or more Leicester riders weren't getting an unfair advantage by switching tyres. From what I observed there was no great argument but there was obviously a lot on the line.

Good to watch on BSN right down to the wire and beyond, any excuse not to visit that awful Leicester track though. Douglas and Morris obviously unable to team ride together (never really seen Douglas do with anyone tbh) as that was the only option in the superheat once Fricke hit the front, standard one in one out and Pickering would have had zero chance on that ultra slick track. Fantastic effort by the Leicester team though to drag back 24 points to be level (don’t think they ever went ahead but could be wrong) imagine there’ll be thinking what if for the odd point in race they consider dropped like Masters in ht14. Majority of Sheffield team were pretty woeful bar Fricke who was excellent both legs, Holder consistent in his 3 rides and Flint for his final 2 rides, the rest need to have a good look at themselves and I’ll include Pickering in that batch of riders getting 5 from 5. If Pickering, Rowe and reserves had stepped up then no need for the super heat, drastic improvement needed for the Belle Vue matches

Indeed. Meeting off until next Friday. Will Nick Morris still be the Tigers guest as he's at Plymouth in the cup final the following night

Something to do with tyres I think
