I would have thought Poole and Coventry made money but to achieve a profit its not all about who comes through the turnstiles,its also about sponsorship,which plays a big part in any sport.

Ok thanks for the explanation,it just seems like loads of trees driving from the a14 direction,surely the point would be comparing it to Poole which is in the middle of a town,surrounded by houses and if people complain,i've not heard or seen it in the local press.

I have never understood about the curfew,local residents complaining bit with Ipswich,the track seems miles from anywhere that would be affected. I would agree that if they went PL, a return to EL would be very unlikely,for example KIngs Lynn have no intention of returning to the EL as far as i know.

One things for sure,Ipswich speedway will have to make a decision by the weekend.They can't go to the conference not knowing whether they are El or Pl.

I think Ipswich have tried hard,especially changing their track which made the racing better,although the pairs wasn't great, the league meetings were pretty good.

Lorry drivers do not put their neck on the line every time they go out,thats like saying i put my neck on the line every time i drive to work.If they drive on the ragged edge like speedway riders do then they are not driving as safely as they should be.

Most people who do a physically demanding sport retire early.

Can't really be said of Adams as he has had a few different clubs.

When Madsen rejoined Poole this season after riding last season on an assessed 4 point average,it was said he should have come back on a 5 point average,but if Pawlicki returns next season it is said he should return on a 4 point average when his average this season must be over 6 abroad i would have thought.The difference?

Hope its on as it seems Peterborough may have had some rain over the last few days and the Poole meeting was called off apparently for a sprinkling of rain despite not having rained in the previous 24 hours.

I am sure there is a few sighs of relief from the Panthers fans,don't think they want him back very fast.

Apologies for being picky but that would have left a Poole v Wolves final.

When they got proper averages,as you put it,there is every opportunity they could be changed on a one for one basis,Mrozcka was 6.81 at the end of august,could have got Zorro in or Kolodziej or a number of others who would have scored more than 2.

Absolutely, totally agree with you. If anyone is to blame for losing the title, it is the riders and the management,maybe some riders didn't have the experience to handle it and the management made some mistakes too,putting Ward as a tac in heat 8 when he hadn't beaten an opposing rider,not putting madsen in heat 14 when he had just won heat 12,not putting Bjarne as a tac in heat 14,using him in an earlier more difficult race and most of all not dropping Mrozcka when his form dipped.

You have a point with Mrozcka,it may of been harsh but why wasn't he dropped when it became clear his form had dipped and not the same rider we startred the season with,even last night,he was winning a race that was stopped but apart from that he did very little on a track he was getting near maximums every week. As for Pawlicki,its clear if he wasn't at reserve it would have been at the very least, alot closer and stopping him from riding his last meeting,using the no.8,which you can do at any time, was within the rules and good management,which makes it irrelevant whether he was injured or not,unless he needs to be injured in order to use your no.8 which my understanding of the rule isn't the case. As for the rule regarding Screen last year,that went on the 8 meeting average because we were going to re-declare,therefore it could be argued that to declare a new team for next season then Pawlicki needs to have his average amended to include the league meetings he has completed.

But he did stay down and not clear the track at Brandon and he did his finger wagging at Poole to Holder,just like Ward he's got some growing up to do.

Don't you know the faculty rules Bruce!! Sorry Dave just called you Bruce to keep it simple.

You think getting an average higher than any brit is an achievement.

Surely he will only be a 4 pointer,gotta be worth it. You are beyond help arn't you,are you sure your obsession with Bjerre isn't in a gay way.

Koscuich ought to have a place too,thought he rode well.

Can't remember Holder ever scoring only one point,i would get Hans back.

Didn't see it that way myself,Harris was already going down before Schlein's mistake.

Harris should have been excluded,terrible decision,Harris was already laying it down before Schlein even started to lock up.

Maybe not all the blame rests with Bjerre but 1 point,he should have got 15 on his own track,Lindgren got paid 16 away,is this the same guy who came second in the gp.

Quite right Steve,never mind it will most likely be Brandon but i don't like Swales comment that they don't need to go all out from the start,oh yes they do.
