The riders have rightly been having a pop at the track being different every time they come here which wipes out a lot of the home advantage. Tonight was incredibly slick compared to previous weeks. No idea what’s going on there.

To be picky it's actually called the Premiership. Lapsed fans may still think of the Premier league as the second tier. Probably not a question for this post, but did they gain anything from naming the leagues after football? Really hope Speedway returns to Arlington, but won't get my hopes up. Be good if a Speedway fan won the lottery / Euromillions. -
The meeting the other week against Sheffield was very good, some excellent racing with lots of passing. But most of the riders were having a whinge on both sides that the track was “tricky to ride” and they were struggling a bit with it. Tonight most of the riders were praising the track because it was smooth and easy to ride, but was serving up next to no entertainment to the supporters. Give me the track like it was against Sheffield and tell them to get on with it!

I believe we have had 14 meetings this season. Quite shocking when we used to have nearly 30. What I want to know is with all these defunct teams wanting to come back, where are we getting the riders from? And even if we get riders from abroad, how the hell are most clubs going to pay them on pitiful gates.

It certainly was from the terraces. Really concerning and more importantly where this sport is heading. A sport with no participants surely ceases to be a sport eventually. Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe you said before that something like 90 odd British riders have been lost to the sport in the last decade? If that's the case then that far outweighs anything to do with silverware.

Good to hear Coleman addressing the supporters at the end as well. Again dangling the carrot of things being much better next year and exciting times ahead at Foxhall. He can certainly talk the talk, and he deserves the chance to walk the walk. Grateful that he stepped in personally and gave us speedway again this year.
