I am usually just a viewer of topics and rarely post, so no doubt some will think this a fake account but just wanted to give my two pence worth: Someone stated the track had nuts and bolts left over from the stock cars....I would dispute that as there were no stock cars the previous weekend. The previous weekend was Dirtquake and I doubt there was much in the way of metal debris left on the track after that. Anyone who watched it on ITV4 would see there was plenty of track work done during the two days and very little in the way of dirt. The track for the Poole meeting was obviously different from normal. The fast times would lead you to assume that is was different, but not unrideable. Much track work ensued mid meeting, and the meeting was completed, so again it was rideable. The problem as I see it, is that certain riders did not like it. I'm sure other riders don't like other tracks on certain dates but surely the rider is a professional and it is their job to ride the track presented by adapting lines, techniques and equipment to suit the conditions. Isn't that what sets the top riders apart from others? Their ability to adapt quicker and keep on top of conditions and setups? Each track will be different each week, sometimes in a small way but sometimes in a bigger way as was the case for this one. The resulting actions have been well documented and I support Kings Lynn in their decision making. I would rather see 7 riders committed to racing and losing, than I would see half a team committed while the others were not interested and maybe won or maybe lost. Good luck to THJ and MPT for the remaining fixtures. Holder and Batchelor treated the club and fans with contempt and have paid the price. I won't be losing any sleep over it.

Eurosport have just announced their 2014 Programme Guide, and it says they have Swedish Elite League coverage as well as the European Championships. No mention of SGP though..... http://2014tvguide.eurosport.com/#/0 I should mention, before getting shot down in flames, that this doesn't say British Eurosport but they posted it on their Facebook page.

Premier Sports (Sky channel 433) have just announced that they are showing 22 weeks of live Swedish Elite action starting next Tuesday, 3rd May. Didn't see that one coming but brilliant news! For those that don't have a Premier subscription it is £6.99 a month. Nascar fans will see this as an extra bonus as Premier show the live Sprint Cup series which is why I subscribe.
