  1. Past hour
  2. And not the first time due to a forecast! If the forecast is wrong that is not our fault.
  3. It seems there will only be 13 heats in Gislaved due to track conditions.
  4. How do they get away with increasing prices for a semi final anyway. No the wonder people are slowly drifting away from Speedway, fleecing the punters is certainly not encouraging the public to attend. These days, when money is tight, to say the least, it just makes the Promoters look like money grabbing sharks. They should be rewarding their loyal Supporters with discounts, not making them pay through the nose. I don't agree with the 'play offs' anyway, but this takes the biscuit.
  5. About to. H10 call off imo, glad we avoided that tbh. Don't want to be losing a third of home leg.
  6. The forecast this morning for Poole was 95% chance of rain from 18.00 hours, if it hadn't been cancelled, it would have been why wasn't it cancelled bla bla bla
  7. Witches to go through. Especially if Doyle repeats his rider of the night performance of 2 wins out of 5 rides the other night???
  8. I doubt many Ipswich fans would go to Manchester on a Monday night with the home leg on Thursday and who can blame them … same maybe said for Belle Vue on Thursday they might not travel as it isn’t the final
  9. Thing is it could be bad weather …. But Poole have done this sort of thing so many times that it’s expected and nobody believes them anymore A lot of Pooles titles are tarnished slightly and the constant bending of the rules to suit happens most seasons
  10. Right in time for H10 call off which clubs hate apart from the away team prob.
  11. Today
  12. Can you explain what you mean? As far as I'm aware this isn't the first time in history a speedway meeting has been postponed!
  13. Final 1st leg Smederna v Vastervik Tuesday 16th September Final 2nd leg Vastervik v Smederna Tuesday 23rd September
  14. Agree but the way it works, Poland calls the tune and if you are a rider in both leagues and Poland is paying top dollar, one you will not ride in the UK or be allowed to ride by your Polish team and two you will not take any risks if the Polish team can claw back money. The answer to achieve what you suggest is to ride these matches in October but then you are at the mercy of the weather. It is what it is and the UK version has capitulated to Poland and it is unlikely that the sport will get back to what it used to be to be in the foreseeable future. Poland dominates and that is it and until the UK presents a professional package with top quality sponsors, a t v deal that promotes the sport to a wider audience and the promoters get off the backsides and promote so that the spectators who can create an atmosphere turn up in the numbers that you see in Poland, it will continue to be the poor relation. Sadly U K speedway does not create any interest amongst Joe Public.
