There you go.. Should be all riders. Your a joke.

Riders struggling in the unpleasant conditions. Most important thing is to be safe and come away with no further injuries. Track is extremely grippy and patchy throwing riders all over the place. Hopefully it will improve. Result doesn’t matter.

Well done Matt Wethers ! Just goes to show that some riders take a little longer to get there than others. A great servant to the sport!

I think pretty dreadful sums it up well. Racing, Crowd, Excitement & Persistent Restarts due to riders trying to jump the starts. Tatum got it spot on tonight, exclude riders who move before the tapes go up, warnings are a waste of time, none of this 15 yard crap, Chuck them out, it would soon stop.

The amount of whining tonight I had to check there wasn't an old WW2 Dornier flying overhead.

All 3 posts absolutely correct. King's Lynn as a Speedway track is still there but it most certainly isn't a Speedway racers track at all. Only big mistakes contributed to any passing. Awful meeting and certainly wouldn't encourage any stay-aways to return. Adrian Flux Arena is all about the gating, it's very very ordinary and lacks any value for money in entertainment.

Pooles track is far superior to Saddlebow now the track has been fixed. We have something called passing on a properly dressed track. No wonder there was no one there. I wouldn’t bother if that was served up every week. Well done to Kings Lynn on their win.

Its perfect for the stock cars that make him money.......

Congrats to Kings Lynn on a true backs-to-the-wall shock victory over a team with twice the league points going into tonight. Good luck with the rest of your season Stars fans.

I was at the Coliseum on friday & it was my first visit. And I WILL BE ATTENDING again. I would like to be positive about the venue & the meeting.It is a purpose built arena for speedway. There are many stands which allow for an elevated view. There is no greyhound track so as well as being elevated you are closer to the action. To me the closer you are the better! And with no greyhound track there are no outsiders taking revenue out of the venue. All monies spent go to the promotion which can allow them to put it back into speedway. Access to the riders before the meeting is excellent there is plenty of time for getting autographs & photos. And up close to watch them working on their bikes or for having photos of them with fans in their leathers. These are the things I remembered when I was a child. I rarely remembered meetings it was getting autographs & having a pic with my favourite rider. There were many young faces at this meeting more than I`m used to at my home circuit. Also the club had invited the Exeter Aces cycle speedway team to attend to promote their club & sport. The 2 crashes did cause delays but what a lovely evening waiting in the sunshine. Also, by curfew time we only lost the final heat of the second half. I paid £12 admission plus £2-50 for 20 heats which I feel was good value. A 46-44 first half & 16-14 second half. I had arrived at 3pm & walked the stadium & at that time the track staff were driving the tractor around in very hot temperatures & working on the track. I thought that Ben Wilson (14 pts) Adam Extance (13+2) Rob Ledwith (9) had no problems & Anders Rowe looked very good & rode with aggression attacking the track. Drew Kemp also rode well but I thought he got to the corner with Richard Andrews in his heat & it looked from my angle that he was pushed out wider than he wanted to be which made him turn harder than he wanted to do which caused his highside. Glad to see he was okay. The venue is helping younger riders to gain valuable track time. Good luck to young Ben Trigger for his forthcoming European excursion to Torun, Poland on 20th July. Finally, all the very best wishes to Nathan Stoneman on a full recovery.

Fixed when in 1989 ??? all you want is a winning side you could not care less about the entertainment element.

Then why have two riders withdrawn, Riss nearly fell, Cook fell, Klindt fell. Track has been rough.

The track last night was very good. Two spells of grading brought it back both times. The telltale sight is the sameness of times within a couple of seconds. It even held Barker with those extra fast dives into the bend, and then around the boards. One of the best performances I have seen from Barker.

The age of some of those that are there... Looks like some of them won't see the meeting out!

I think when a Poole fan takes a knock at someones track you just have to take it with a very large pinch of salt

How strange he turned it ok for 15 bends !!!

Terrible track in heat one. Looks like a ploughed field and rides like one. Holder couldn’t even turn the bike!

Well I finally made it on Sunday, a great shame Sheffield lost but saying that an enjoyable meeting of racing. We found both the locals and also the opposition supporters very helpful and friendly. Glad we went, the one downside is that the whole track cannot he accessed for spectators. Good luck Sheffield —onwards and upwards. What was refreshing was that both groups of supporters could stand side by side, no trouble at all and I never saw a policeman all night. A credit to speedway.

fight for the wooden spoon this one

Whatever happened to sportsmanship and for that matter a mature outlook on things. Life's too short to be consumed by hatred but some show it on here. I genuinely feel sorry for such people, hatred seems to consume them. Not something I would like to be. As you say about the money jibes being tiresome, not to mention juvenile, the irony is there's so little money and investment in the sport anyway. Those that follow football would laugh at the tiny amount of money Glasgow have invested. I'd love to see investment into other clubs. The sport is dying but for the jealousy ridden small-minded they allow themselves to become the complete opposite of sportsmanlike or grownup and come on here spouting their small-minded bile.

Everyone hates Glasgow now that they have money behind them , jealousy is a terrible thing. It wasn't that long ago that we were threatened with closure and at the bottom of the league, year after year but we still went home and away to support the team. We always congratulate the team that has beaten us. The money jibes are getting very tiresome.

Lol! Typical response from you. My opinions are my own and nobody else’s. Gavan hates Poole and if you can’t see that you are blind. I got fed up with his constant repeated posts saying the same crap over and over ad nauseam so last summer I blocked him. Best thing I did on here and the place is much better without his anti Poole nonsense. Well for me anyway. Now I am having to post about someone that means nothing to me. Last from me on the subject of a blocked Poole hating troll.

I dont think Gavan does slag Poole off at every opportunity he feels like me you mainly do Poole speedway an injustice. You dont show the true spirit of the club,you put yourself forward as the spokesman of the club and by doing that you show Poole in a bad light.

Ripping a track up mid season , after it has produced some good and entertaining racing this season , makes no sense whatsoever . Track is the same for both teams , but it was still an odd decision and a massive own goal .

Folk hoping we get beat isn't vindictiveness, everyone is entitled to support whoever they want . And if folk hate us because they think we're some sort of moneybags club , then that's fine too, I've no issue with that . It won't stop me enjoying going to watch the Tigers home and away .

Matty been brilliant. Turns up and just gets on with his job. Mr reliable.

Please god let no more riders get injured tonight.

Only my second time ever at Brough and I quite like the way the track is and yes it's a technical, but if all tracks were the same the racing would be boring.

Only bonus is Ipswich are getting stuffed too.

Lolololololollololo track is fine Poole gating tarts can’t handle it

Heat 06: Worrall, Clegg, Allen, Kinsley 5-1 23-13 64.0Line Up: Worrall, Clegg, Allen, KinsleyComments: Stopped.. Allen gave Worrall a nudge into bend 1, who moves into Clegg and Clegg falls into air fence. Clegg up and ok, All 4 back ReStart: Clegg passed Allen exit of b2l1.. Kinsley way back, Allen not threatening Clegg Read more: http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/19080/diamonds-scorpions-7-19-championship?page=1#ixzz5t6prigus Not only did Allen knock Steve into Max, after all three gate well, which then caused all riders to run out of space and Max was the unfortunate one... Allen then gated again in the re-run and got easily passed by a very muddy Max Clegg who was face first into the air fence just minutes previously... I must say that some of the passing moves by Matty and even Ben Barker (The one on Bukhave springs to mind) kinda makes your comment about Brough Park a meaningless one, the racing there is technical and entertaining, not like the wind it on bowl of Scunthorpe which eats rear wheels... I feel you are just commenting like this because you have seen your team, yet again, get hammered by Newcastle Got to say Jacob Bukhave, take a bow, really good considering it's only his second meeting around a tricky track... Really like the look of him... Do people still want to replace him with Ostergaard? Hopefully not...

He said he enjoyed it last night and even though it's only his second home meeting 7 points was good IMO I hope he goes on to score and ride well for the Diamonds.

Yeah he rode well and gave the track a good go well done to the kidda

Thought that was the case. We had a five minute chat on the first bend terracing before the start. Well done to your team on a deserved win. I don't think our team is strong enough to seriously challenge you when we come up to Glasgow this weekend, but I just hope that we can give you a decent match. Best wishes.

It’s a forum.Everybody can have their opinion.It doesn’t change anything.

In the same programme it said the Trust had now given the promotion over £100,000 since 2015....

There's always been talk on the terraces this season regarding team changes. If it happens (and I'm not holding my breath) I somehow doubt it'll be where it really needs to be.

This is what would be termed "a non-response". Reasonable points were made and you obviously either agree with them or cannot deny them.

In reply your points: 1. "Jesus , wind your neck in" No need to be so uncouth nor so immature in your language. I made reasonable points, nothing else. 2. "....I have never once said I would celebrate any team closing," I did not say that you had. I said that by your behaviour you give the impression that you would. 3. "I have never mentioned money" I did not mention yourself at all in that regard. 4. "so get your bee out of your bonnet " Again, no need to be so uncouth and immature. 5. "a bit of banter hurts no-one" Your posts are not banter as you errantly call it, they are spiteful, vindictive, uncouth, and immature 6. "I really couldn't give a sh== " Again, no need to be so uncouth and immature. 7. "whether you win anything else" Who are "you". I never mentioned any team.

In order to say that I would imagine you would need to stand next to him in the toilet in order to confirm if this is indeed true. Apart from that he seems a decent guy.

If Lynn lose tonight then expect their No One in the commentry box will be happy ,,,,If Poole lose he will be on all night about their injury crisis after every heat.

Should the Warriors take 4 points tonight i suspect you will see Barry Bishop aboard a bike and doing doughnuts and celebrating in a way that would make Danny Ayres look restrained.

Looks like you can't handle other teams investing in the sport of speedway. How sad. Jealousy - one of the worst weaknesses known to mankind.

Ive said Poole are weaker tonight its pretty obvious The problem is that when they are stronger through guests and/or R/R, the usual Poole fools refuse to accept anyone elses opinion.......and my opinion has been proved right on most occasions..... Shovlar is a troll and Starman is just dense.....nothing to do with Poole except they have these two very sad individuals as so called fans Ive said countless times i would rather face Poole then Belle Vue. We have riders at Ipswich that go very well at Poole......yet these same riders arent so good at Belle Vue.......i then get the troll saying that Ipswich should win tonight.........we go better on some tracks than others like all teams do Unfortunately you just get told your a Poole hater because 3 or 4 of their fans on here arent intelligent enough to debate you just get abuse...... Funnily enough ive said Poole are weaker tonight and nobody has accused that statement of being anti-Poole......

Gavan makes many good points about Poole, the trouble is some see any type of criticism as an ‘attack’ on the club or are ‘hating’. Which is not the case at all. No club/track/promotion are above criticism. No one club does everything by the book and Poole most certainly don’t. To ask for examples (as I know what’s coming) is blinkered in the extreme. Poole will be in the top 4, I don’t doubt that for a minute.

Whoops !!!! Well done Bears, look out the rest of the teams in the League

Can’t help but think this is going to be an awful advert for speedway on BT tonight, Summers was woeful as a guest at reserve for us at Kings Lynn couple of weeks ago and Newman is seemingly nowhere near a top flight rider these days

Anyone with an ounce of brain will realise Poole have been hit like no other team this season. While other teams have lost one or two, Pirates have lost over half their team. No one can cover that. To argue otherwise shows the poster as a pea brained imbecile. We need to sign a 28 day replacement for Brady and a full time replacement for Richie. Covatti will be back in a few weeks and NBJ needs an appendix removal by the sound of it so will be out for a few weeks. No point dilly dallying, get a deal done.

I echo this. IOW are head and shoulders above the rest and I read somewhere that their crowds are up so they’re reaping what they sew - thoroughly deserved.
