Wow did not see that result coming 😄 well done to the comets and the guests UTC 🔵⚪🏁

Only Workington did turn them over. UTC! Guests, in the end, made the difference I think. Harris started poor but his two wins at the end were vital.  Boring racing at start but picked up at the end. Especially with Harris bombing around the outside and up the inside

Nip and tuck so far comets ahead by 2 points, could we see a comets Ng away win 😲😄🔵⚪🏁

Its amazing the determination of some people, I do a lot of cruising and got talking to a fella who was the casino manager on ship, he was from Peru (late thirties) told me he was orphaned at six , lived on the streets for ten years, got a break working at a casino and ended up running one on Royal Caribean in between all this he was one of the worlds top surfers, and the next day like the old swearer he drops on me in the 3-4 months he has off he is one of the biggest DJ's in South America showed me these videos of him at massive footy stadiums. He looked like a mexican cartel boss but was awesome fella his life story would make a great film.

I understand and agree but with so few opportunities to get the sport on a main stream terrestrial channel at one of the best tracks in the country is not something that comes along every day. Someone somewhere has been pulling some strings because the current incumbents controlling the sport have failed miserably for years to achieve this so who ever has got the sport to this point is to be applauded. No it won’t solve all the problems and as long as the sport is self governed by those who cannot see beyond the business model which has not worked for years, it will not change overnight. However if this can be used to showcase not just UK speedway but European speedway and yes it might be banging the old drum but put a top flight league meeting from Poland on and you possibly have the makings of a revival of interest. Imagine if one or two clubs were allowed to compete in Polish league racing. Speedway UK needs an injection of good fortune and a kick up the arse. This might just be the start.

Friday 14th August: Edinburgh Monarchs v Poole Pirates (Championship, Armadale, 7:30pm) ROSS ECO TECHNOLOGIES MONARCHS: Dan Thompson, Jonatan Grahn, Justin Sedgmen, Paco Castagna (capt.), Kye Thomson, Mitch Cluff, Darryl Ritchings. POOLE WESSEX MARINE PIRATES: Richard Lawson, rider replacement for Will Cairns, Lewis Kerr, Cooper Rushen, Zach Cook (capt.), Slater Lightcap, Edward Kennett.   I thought with Poole replacing Fraser Bowes with Slater Lightcap we'd seen the last of Edward Kennet riding at reserve for the Pirates. I thought wrong.
