Right,,,, where are the usual suspects,,, I need help falling asleep. Any win at Poole is a good win,, well done the Panthers

Please come back when you know what your talking about ....

Wait for the R/R made Panthers stronger post to follow

Hans is back to his old best. The man is winding the clock back.

Hardly the dramatic team changes we hoped for but to be fair not sure what was really available Good luck to Jacob Best wishes to Simon - he obviously tried and gave 100% but sadly Brough just isn't his track and probably best decision for both parties But he will always be welcomed back even as an opposition rider - he gave it 100% and that's all we can ask

How about Monday Monday by the Mamas and Papas. That seems more appropriate for a Speedway race night these days.

What price all three Buster tracks in the Play Offs

Well done agent Ellis

Well done Peterborough! Just loving this team after I saw them ride on Bank Holiday Monday at their home track. (Possibly one of the best tracks in this division). Good to see Hans at his best.

Only goes to show there will only be room for one Andersen in the Panthers team

Well done Panthers.

No doubt the usual garbage from the usual people will be spouting later how Peterborough should of got 4 points tonight and not 3 ....

OOPS

Remember your love ins with Linus all those years ago. Are you over MJJ yet?

Wow.... what a win that was! Hans was superb and everyone chipped in barring the guest. BWD to reserve will make us only stronger.

Silence is the golden rule in Speedway, another reason why people give up on it...

Looks like Rasmus has just finished third in Danish Championship behind Kenneth Bjerre and NKI but ahead of Nicki Pedersen and MJJ

Shouldn't be a problem badge,,,, ony one of them can have the bit at the back at one time.

9 teams without a fixture on Saturday, 7 without a fixture on Sunday. Plenty to choose from just getting the right rider to do the job.

Read an interview in SS with Wajtkneckt a few weeks ago. Said he has problems switching from grasstrack(?) to speedway, and that it takes him a few rides to get back into the hang of things with speedway. I don't know how often he does grasstrack, but surely coming out and saying something like that isn't the best policy?

Does it really matter, the match is done.

Allen hoping to return Monday,,, excellent news.

well if he needs something to drink he can always buy a programme!! From the Bandits' Facebook Page "Shielfield Park is the place to be in Berwick this Saturday night and we are feeling generous... Simply purchase your match day magazine and receive a free drink voucher! Cash in your voucher at any Bandits outlet on Saturday night and receive any beverage of your choice on us" Also repeating the Kids for Free ticket and prize draw - winner gets a Bandits' Junior Bodycolour - which proved very popular on its debut against Sheffield. If the youngsters haven't got a ticket through their schools Buddy will have some at the turnstiles and they are available from the Box Office entrance too.

Does anyone know the suggested team riding order on Monday? My view would be the following 1. Lambert (R) 2.Palm Toft 3. Proctor 4. Jorgensen 5. Cook 6. Kerr 7. Lambert (S)

Sadly the Boomtown Rats "I don't like Mondays" may be more appropriate.

Ulrich is quite simply useless and the only place he is heading, is the reserve berths IF he survives that long. Should be out of the door immediately Zach simply isn’t a fraction as good as he or his crew think he is and, he hasn’t got the bottle or the balls to be a speedway rider. Sorry. Once again last night he showed his lack of bottle. In his second ride, made a half decent gate but when he had both Eastbourne riders by him approaching the third bend, he CLEARLY shut the throttle off and pulled out of it. Not acceptable. Nathan Stoneman put both rides to shame, yet again Tom Bacon showed why he is such a firm fans favourite and just what a miss he is, not being in the team. I’d like to see BradleyWilson Dean plus one other, in for Ully and Zach and if not him then simply anyone will do me as opposed to those two makes you wonder just what Danyon Hume has done to upset the management and not be in the team. I know Laurence Rogers is worried about Danyon’s history of shoulder injuries but that shows just what a muppet Rogers is. He’s the third person that should be out of the door WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. This club will never get anywhere whilst he’s involved. History tells its own story about muppet Rogers!!!!

The slicker the track the better the racing is at nesr all tracks. It's a bloody myth that grip gives good racing. Grip just makes the guys in front quicker meaning harder to pass Keep the track slick. Dont grade it till about heat 10 which allows a little dirt line out by the fence which then gives an extra racing line for the riders. But then I'm no track curator so probably talking bullcrap

Bradley is a lovely lad, very genuine.

Quote by the promotion from the Devils Gladiators forum: This weeks meeting is cancelled, the clay hasn’t turned up at the track as yet , 10am Wednesday, I and i cannot guarantee that the track will be ready. I do not like to disappoint fans by not having a meeting , I also do not like disappointing fans with copious amounts of dust. Last week we had the local councillors in attendance to monitor and noise test the Quads, and was probably dismayed at the dust as was I. I have not been able to sort mixed shale, the only quarry producing quality shale at the moment is in Scotland, therefore I am awaiting pure ball clay and will endeavour to mix it myself and hopefully sort the problem . >>>SORRY GUYS .......

Probably so, but the state of the track doesn't have to be so grippy. I'm sure he could remove most of the top surface,. The slick conditions would create a far better spectacle then we usually witness. I am of the feeling the track is grippy to give the home side a bigger advantage, but the results is of no importance if the fans stay at home... I've always thought excitement is what keep the fans happy... not bored with processional follow the leader...

Negative negative. I applaud any club who can admit that their track is not fit for use. It doesn't show the club in a good light but an honest one.

Hey, I’m no fan of the situation but it was that or no top division. My point was at the irony of all three potentially getting to the last four when almost everybody predicted they would finish 5th, 6th & 7th. Which of course they may do!

As per club website, yes indeedy!

they are

With both teams operating R/R plus 3 guest these are the sort on meetings. that should be rearranged when both teams run with a minimum of 6 of their own riders. Speedway has never been taken seriously by Joe Public, but these days it's the speedway die-hards that are scratching their heads!

Ty Proctor will be moved from Lynn when Riss returns to Lynn's team Buster rider control in action

It was me BOBBATH that said that as that is what the promoter of the time said, Mike Parker. So sad cos he was a lovely man and my favourite rider at the time.

Berge average been updated to 4.76 now so moves to number 2, Ricky Wells at reserve.

Can always rely on R&R for all things continental.

I quote from the rule book. The top 8 Riders of the Final Overall SGP Classification (including any qualified Nominated Substitute Rider) will be directly qualified for the following year’s SGP Series.

"But whenever Monday comes you find me cryin' all of the time"

Why did this contenders thread go cold? However I still stand by what I said on the 27th March 2019 "The two Stand out teams for me are Glasgow and Leicester and both should be a shoe in for a top four spot" Regards THJ

Mark Riss has withdrawn , due to a shoulder injury he sustained in a speedway crash at Pocking on Easter Sunday.

Adam is pleasing his big sponsor down Poole maybe?

Rambo Lambo sacked by Championship Newcastle yet deemed good enough for Premier League Lynn.

As per the Speedway GB website.... Drew currently has a 2019 home average of 6.67, and an away one of 4.21, giving him an overall 5.50 average. This puts him 4th overall in the Tigers' averages. He was assessed at 2.00 at the start of the season, so at the moment he's trebling that at home, and doubling it away. So I'm at a loss as to how he's been a disappointment so far, especially when he's been second string for over half his meetings, and not reserve. Even his family think it's too soon for him to be second string just now. Surprisingly, our highest averaging away rider so far, also based on 2019 only, is Ty Proctor!!

But those have still been in place. teams, have still been racing on sat and sun and crowds have still been going down with clubs closeing .People used to play local football at a weekend but now it's nearly dead as there is far more things to do.In the 70' s what could do on a Sunday bar go the church .Times have moved on .

Honestly I'm sorted but still absolutely gutted at what's happened and the demise of the Speedway.... Saturday's are quite honestly just not the same anymore... Also I know for a fact that many people I speak to when on the tramp in Cumbria feel exactly the same... Devastated Regards THJ

I'm sorry but no. 1.They do not do it to entertain anyone. They do it because they enjoy it. 2. If they didn't get paid they would soon stop. The argument about doing it for fans entertainment is a big load of BS.

The Rugby pitch was big enough to take an FA approved size football pitch it was the Reds who wouldn't move unless they had the same size pitch as the one they were leaving at Borough Park. Also following the last Rugby League World Cup when the Kiwi Rugby Team nearly walked out of the match they had scheduled at DP saying they wouldn't walk their dogs on DP and they trained on better pitches the Rugby Club stated the pitch needed to be re-laid if they were going to have to share it with the football club. Honestly there was the space to accommodate everyone if the good will had of been there. You will never get the full truth but you can build a picture when you start to get snippets of what's went on and been said but the sub tenants (the Speedway) have been well and truly shafted. It was a case of me first me last and if there is owt left me again... stuff you Jack cos we are alright... Regards THJ
