Steve Worrall absence weakens the Aces, anybody argues otherwise is either on a wind up or an idiot Simple as that really

To be fair you can only beat what's put in front of you. Records will show Swindon won, anything else is only opinion. So it doesn't really matter.

whos name is on the trophy end of

All these BV fans and all of their wind ups are hilarious, all we need now is Gavan saying we will win by 35 points and we'll have the full package! Brilliant, keep it coming.

Quite simple. The countdown clock is for 2 mins. Riders must be in position waiting for green light at zero. At zero the green light comes on. If a riders front wheel isn’t in position and rider ready to drop clutch, they are out.

easy people , its been a good review so far . dont spoil it with east and west fighting talk (txt)

Didn't it occur to you that the UK border agency might be at fault here. Thing is you don't know why , how can you point the finger at anyone, you lost get over it s* it happens.

You're only jealous. We were far away the best side in the league last season. The unbeaten winning streak showed that. Why don't you admit, you keep saying that Gavin is a troll when you are no better. Your problem is that you can't see the bigger picture, all you you see is Poole.

Or both

What type of protest were they riding under. Did they have placards attached to there bikes saying we are protesting. Ffs ride or dont ride simple not say we will ride but have a good whinge about it in the process. But thats Edinburgh for you they Whinge more than my b*tch sorry meant to say wife for any female viewers looking in.

RIP to a true sporting legend.

After watching another NUFC win Mr Tsusami was probably delirious so i think we can forgive him this time.

It's o/k he's colour blind

I'd rather scoop my eyes out with a rusty spoon than suffer him.

Sour and bitter when we lose? I don’t think so. I am quite gracious in defeat. Not that it happens very often over the last 15 years.

Don't you mean Green light? Bit worrying really if you think the red light means go when driving.

Agreed. I think you guys should stand up for your right to be stupid.

Zielona Gora v Grudziadz - 1st race 3.30pm UK time

I thought rene rode a captains race in ht 13 sure mr riss would have done the same the throttle works both ways !

That's just farcical. If it rains for the meeting in 3 weeks time it means your fans won't have seen speedway for 6 weeks! Whatever the problems, rationing the sport is not the answer.

Different track and different promotion unlike the Poole v Lakeside meeting. Sometimes it's better for people in glass houses not to throw stones.

Without knowing the law and how visas work, shouldn’t proctor of sorted this out months ago?

I'd have thought it's common sense to allow a guest when the situation is out of the rider and club's control. Not sure teams riding under protest does the sport any good to be honest.

Bearing in mind the number of cancelled meetings we have had since the introduction of the fixtures list I would've thought it would be imperative to amend the list now instead of waiting till the end of the season, like last year, when clubs needed to play 3 or 4 meetings in a week just to get them in.. Surely, we are not going to do that fiasco again...... It needs to be sorted NOW.......

Since 2014 Worrall has progressed from being a National League rider, through the fast track reserve system to his present position where he has the second highest average in the CL, only Nicholls, on an assessed average, is above him and the third highest average in the Belle Vue team. There is nothing in that history to indicate that he has achieved his level and that he will not progress further. Those who have actually watched him at the NSS this year have seen performances which showed that he has made a further step up the ladder and that is why we shall be weaker without him on Monday. It also shows the paucity of an argument when those making it feel the need to exaggerate what has been said. Nobody has claimed that that he is going to be a big star or, that he is going to score double figures every week. What we are talking about is his immediate form and a meeting on Monday, not what might or might not be the situation in months to come. Time will tell how far he progresses but there is no doubt in my mind that we have not yet by any means seen the end of his development.

Meetings between these two rarely disappoint and this was another cracker watched by a huge crowd with plenty of travelling support , from Ht1 that saw Doolan and Worrall passing and re-passing right up to Ht15 that saw a typically spectacular ride from Chris Harris there was value for money in every race. Big crowd, great racing, close score, value for money and a meeting done and dusted in good time, more of the same each week please, the speedway season has started.

Just caught up with the last few heats of this on YouTube after going out earlier. Gotta be said the Polish league do most things better than the UK but which imbecile came up with the rule about not being able to award a race? Wroclaw were robbed of a draw there. Woffy and Drabik a mile in front of Doyle entering bend 3 on the last lap and cos the Torun junior had fallen it got re-run!!! Pathetic decision and a 5-1 turned into a 3-3 and they were robbed of a draw. Surely now if you’re last and out of contention you just need to drop it to get a re-run for your team?? Scandalous

Very sad news, I was fortunate enough to watch him ride for Newcastle in the 60's wonderful memories of a great, possibly the greatest ever speedway rider. Rest in Peace Ivan.

If you re-declare and are over the limit when Steve returns, he couldn't return to the team unless other changes were made which brought the team below the limit. However, if a 'temporary replacement' is signed, Steve would be free to return when fit, replacing the 'temporary replacement'.

Well I'm going for a home win. 47-43

HOPE the rain that was battering Old Trafford (Man U) this afternoon is clearing.

great meeting with some very good passing

that would be my thinking aswell but if bomber going poland on the saturday they wont come probably wait till workington got riders missing before accepting a date

Anyone in doubt about the meeting, it has just got the red light to go ahead. So get your coat on and get yourself along to Brough for what should be a hugely competitive meeting.

So you are saying you were not lucky in the final? Seriously? What on earth have I to be jealous about? This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Poole. We were not in the final. Wolverhampton were missing their top two! And you only scrapped over the line with Wolves putting out such a weakened team. That was lucky for Swindon.

To be fair Cresent Girl does have a point, why not put your suggestion to the promotion, whats the worst that could happen.

Thanks- reference point 3 i think( not 100%) that they can only replace riders in the 1 to 5

Thats a bit difficult when the team that cause the protest don't mention the issue until the day of the meeting though?

I have already replied to the post. Can you not read?

Thanks for clearing that up. For me the trust in the promotion is very fragile. Hope this meeting is enjoyable for everyone who attends, weather is set to be perfect so no excuses.

Regards the Ty Proctor thingy. It just goes to show the stupidity of the whole thing, when a rider can ride in one league, but not another!

Hopefully Roman or Pawel(our Polish/Canadian correspondent)might be able to translate the rule book on that particular point-also I would like to know the current rider replacement rule(top 2 riders only ??)

Reckon this will be closer than some Poole fans think. Can see Ellis smashing double figures alongside Batch. If our reserves pick up 10 then who knows. Personally I don’t think the Poole team is all that. Lots of it, buts & maybes. Underestimate Swindon at your peril.

What are the rules regarding the number 8 rider, can they replace any rider at any point in the meeting? Do the reserves have to take 3 rides?

Not a bad meeting good result for comets, meeting flowed well not a bad atmosphere also not a bad crowd, some poor racing no outside lines for passing IMO, need to sign BWD before someone else does, think we are gonna struggle in heats 13 + 15 at home and away, got beat 3 - 9 tonight but won heats 8 + 14 10 -2. A big concern for me and other fans I talked too is our next meeting is 3 weeks away, then a further gap of 2 weeks,

I see robert lambert guesting for vaculik

I'd suggest current form is a better indicator, and he has been awesome at the NSS this season, whereas as good as Tungate can be round there he hasn't got going yet. No doubt whatsoever Worrall will be a big miss as he was the other night.

How much longer will Hans Nielsen keep his job as Denmark team manager?
