Wolves are the only team that I think are capable of stopping the rocking robins - if they make the playoffs IMHO.

Surely a manager has to be a good communicator. Sam bumbles through almost every sentence. How the he’ll he is on tv is beyond me

Great news. The supporters club have done great work in the past organising tours and nights and donating towards riders' costs. The club will be much stronger going forward with their help.

I thought that the other week,,,, strange name to use,,,,,, although must go down a treat on certain adult sites

Usual Steve Shovlar if Poole win it will be against all odds & the miracle of all time. Same every season bless him & then goes missing for months if they lose.

With a username like yours you should be used to it

Oh well that's Gavan dissapeared of the face of the earth again

Well done Poole,always have been my second team

Wouldn't you need to be there to know that

All the happy clappers will say somebody’s got to come last . Bar a couple of matches .this season has been a complete embarrassment from start to finish .

Busters on an hat trick

How can you see back home in Peterborough? Same old KKS.

We seem to have a lot of support tonight. Im finding it difficult to deal with!

Hope so,keeps his average down for when he returns to Lynn. C'mon Poole

Could Sam Ermolenko be the man for the job?

He killed it when using his dirtometer

you'd think they'd get a co-commentator that wasn't verbally dyslexic then

I’m not comfortable about Sheffield being hammered for dropping a British rider, they have to pick the seven who they believe give them the best chance of winning meetings regardless of nationality.

It is very interesting to get the various thoughts on this matter from the I don’t want any tv meetings group ,Then you have the Let’s stick with BT e.g I am happy with what I am getting now group , Then the Let’s see what Eurosport are prepared to offer & get rid of Pearson and Tatum squad and then finally the bring it back on Sky sports with Tony Millard and Jonathan Green & Suzi Perry this of course cant happen sadly. It appears that this is not fully decided yet and the good thing for British Speedway is that there is a couple of offers available to the sport. I just hope that they are being advised by the correct people who know broadcasting. My worry with Eurosport although pan Europe is that they are bidding on other rights as well so Speedway’s a filler in case can’t get anything better and in 2020 they will not want to know Speedway during July and August due to the Olympics which they already have to broadcast .

It is not getting past the tapes that is a problem for Sarjeant. It is going under them rather than over them that is his problem.

NKI was Lynn bound if Lambert had been ruled out for the season. When this didn’t happen Buster, out of decency to Puk found him a home at one of his other places of work. I don’t see what the problem is. If NKI had wanted to start the season he would have been at Lynn, he didn’t.

Come on Steve.. You said Poole didn't stand much of a chance tonight, when some, including me and the bookies thought otherwise . You don't have to play down Pooles chances in almost every meeting ya know Swindon's top 5 clicking now don't mean they will in the play offs. Look at Klindt tonight. People were saying his form/ scores where dropping, and he does that tonight. Theres a little way to go yet. Poole/ Swindon final for me.

So, Ippo lose again, if swindon beat them in their final home match then by my reckoning that makes it interesting for us stars. Win at Wolves and our final two home matches, puts us in with a sniff of playoffs :-)

Should have been 4 away points but let's not be greedy so I'm more than happy with 3! For lots of reasons a satisfying win. Well done the Poole boys.

Point still remains, 2 horrible fixtures for Ipswich.

And finally the words we have heard for many many years,,,,,,, oh well, maybe next year

Yes get in there boys! Take a Win any day! And without Josh as well who we only got paid 6 from.

Yep If we lose we lose fair enough but when someone does that it boils my pi$$

Twitter updates are faster than the updates site anyway.

Utter shambles, if we're still in this league next season, none of these riders barring Charles Wright should be back, it's pathetic. No heart, no effort and no doubt we will be sold the same crap from the management.

No updates as yet on the pro boards site ,,,frustrating...

What a bout Baldyman.u can go 2 4 1

Fair point.

Did he not look at a map before signing?

Was it at Poole by any chance? Might have explained the state of the track in recent years

I noticed that a lot of these objections carry the same content, so as you say, comes from combined anti-greyhound group. They all go on to say they support the redevelopment for speedway purposes, but we know it's housing/greyhound stadium owner money funding the changes if they ever materialise

To be honest there doesn't appear to be too much objection locally seems to to be a Somerset anti greyhound group .apparently new stands are going in at the end of this season

So long as subtitles are provided.

I have checked several sources and there are two meetings which I have found different results for: Fleetwood 34 Edinburgh 49 on 08/05 Yarmouth 41 Exeter 41 on 29/06. The Speedway Researcher Yarmouth file carries the explanation: Note -Above is amended result as Reg Morgan was placed third in heat 14 (but had fallen and his score was amended to 0).

as if ...

If that was true, then no one would complain. It’s the foul whiff of favouring one team over another that gets to Tigers’ supporters, who are getting cheesed off being sold bs when they can see that all that is happening is pre-sale profit maximising. At their expense

Because as of now its 42.44

The day after transfer deadline day for the championship, putting him out of a job altogether, like Drew Kemp. isnt speedway wonderful.

New Cross Ranger...there's a name to bring back my memories of early post war Speedway in London. Used to love to go down the Old Kent Rd to the "Frying Pan" when the Hammers rode there. Eric Chitty was a master of New Cross, but the greatest of all was the king of balance, Ron Johnson. Very pleased that, like myself, you are still a keen fan. I now go every week to Sittingbourne Central Park as the Hammers are no more. I like the comfort and viewing, suits my tired old legs ! Not a bad young team either !

So . . a confession from Mr R that televised speedway DOES affect attendances trackside I’ve said this all along, and I still see no benefit to the sport in having league matches televised live in the UK It’s not as if it’s a great product to advertise to the wider public in the current format Much better would be a carefully edited weekly highlights package - just show the races, and sensible interviews post-meeting instead of the gap-filling chats as at present Put together a package that just might attract new spectators and ex-attendees to the tracks

OR it could be that tracks racing on a Bank Holiday hope for bigger than usual crowds and don't want TV to affect that.

The biggest problem is giving them decent tracks to perform on, like the last 2 GP’s

Poland who might just know a bit about how to run the sport haven’ t ever picked riders such as Protasiewcz and Hampel as track reserves !! They have always picked youngsters to give them an experience of the big stage- just shows the light years difference between the sport in the 2 countries !!!
