Apparently he’s been riding injured most of the year but it’s funny that he can’t ride now that Edinburgh’s season is effectively over and Poole need points to finish top. And yes it’s the same that Porsing is fit now that Lynn can’t make the top four. Speedway needs to stop damaging itself, can’t believe the penny hasn’t dropped yet.

Didn’t see that coming - get well soon Ricky

Equally, I hope that Berwick close down over the winter due to having a track that's too narrow. Nothing against Berwick team, management or fans, of course.

Totally agree! It was a brilliant atmosphere and the banter between all sets of fans was immense. Having been to Berwick a couple of times this season I left a little bit unimpressed with the gate and go racing , but saying that Saturday night was a whole different kettle of fish. With regards to comments being made towards Craig cook on various threads it seems that there is a lot of haters out there, if it had been another rider in heat 15 or 30 , I don't think people would be debating or not as much. Craig is a talent and he is the top rider in the championship by a country mile so it is easy to make him out the villain, let' be honest if he did not ride for Glasgow is their seriously any fan who would not want him in their team. On Saturday night speedway was the winner and I for one would gladly pay £30 every week to be entertained like that. Well done Berwick speedway.!

To be honest I can't see what all the fuss was about. Craig Cook went for a gap, he's a racer, it's probably instinct. The gap closed, there was contact, Jye was brought down, Cook was excluded. All the bravado that followed was good theatre, but it amounted to a great deal of not much. The crowd got wound up and it just added to what was already a great atmosphere. Cook apologised, the riders probably talked it through and the world goes on turning. He may have had hid troubles lately but I can't see hiw the race on Saturday night had anything to do with that. He wanted to win the race and saw an opportunity to do so. Brilliant meeting, the crowd got something to talk about and speedway for me was the winner. I would love if every meeting had the atmosphere Saturday night had. A big crowd, fans giving each other friendly banter and making a load of noise. It was great to be a part of.

Good news for Poole that its off Time for Wells to be fit for the restaging......or he may have stubbed his toe by then

Wouldn’t be the first or last travesty in speedway.......I hope he does...just to see the reaction from all the horribly nasty Cook haters.

Well done Douglas, a great guest.

At least no one on here can say Panthers laid down and let the Robins have 4 points.

Is that rain or holes

Other makes available

Lol He has a shoulder injury and has had it for months He has been perfectly able to ride with it for all this time Suddenly Edinburgh cant qualify for the play offs after last night Poole need points to be top of the table Shock horror he is to injured to ride for Poole Everyone saw this coming Its what Poole do......

The irony is weak with this one.

Whatever Poole want it to be Apparantly his shoulder is hurting again..............just before he goes to Kings Lynn ( a place he is awful at) and Poole needing wins to try and top the table...........Douglas in against Ipswich next Monday..... I truly believe the coincedence of a rider who cant score a point anywhere being injured at the opportune moment

Congratulations to Leicester riders and staff for finishing top of the pile. You have been the best team right from the get go. Regardless of the ridiculous play offs you are the true champs , the best team.

shock news ricky wells out injured never saw that coming

Really enjoyed that, Peterborough is as good as anywhere when it’s prepared right, have always loved the racing there. Plenty of fight shown by the Panthers riders too.

Some decent racing from the guys who fancied it.Rosco comes across as a right plonker.

Now we see why rosco stood down from GB before he was pushed terrible call in 15

Rosco having a rant about Douglas. But its OK when he gets a good guest.

Poor old Ricky was carrying that nasty shoulder injury against Wolves. No wonder he struggled. Have to use horses for courses guests now. A real shame as it looked like Ricky was about to ram in some big scores for the playoffs. Our chances are now officially wrecked.

You also said you hoped Glasgow would be knocked out of the play offs. As for Cook`s appeal you would think it would be to everyone satisfaction that this gets sorted sooner rather than later for club and rider.

Good to tell you are Scorpions PR man. Last races meant nothing? Well tell that to a stand full of supporters around me , who were incensed that the track had not been graded but, actually bladed and outside line totally removed, robbing us of actual racing instead of follow the leader hugging the inside.

Rather be in the national league than hee haw.

Oh there we go, I say I hope he gets a deserved ban for assaulting a volunteer and hope that he’s not able to come straight back in to a play off final and you hope a club closes down, did you say the same about Workington last year big man?? Does it make you feel hard?

Being as the meeting’s off, maybe with a week’s rest, Wells will be fit for the re-staging.

Poole are running scared of Wolves thats for sure. To be pulling this sort of stunt before the play offs have even begun shows you desperate they are to avoid them. This place will be comedy gold if Ippo do them in the semis!!!

Boom,,, right on cue

“If you’re not prepared to die to win ...”? Are you mad? This is sport, not war.

No Ricky Wells.....Out with a shoulder injury....Tero Aarnio rides in his place....Ryan Douglas rides in his place on Thursday.

Yeah.. I'd of gone Doyle and Razza

Belting meeting. Very impressed with Douglas..Shame he's not British.

Excellent meeting

Now Rosco is mouthing off cos he fkd it

All very easy. No one will stop Swindon in 13 and 15. 4 easy points.

crap team, bang average track, awful forecast, top of the table side coming, fans disillusioned with the promotion and on TV..... if you expecting anything different that's more shocking

Just said the same to someone. On Jul 15 I said we'd all come back to at the end of the summer with everything being wrong, including the weather; so it has proved. A summer sport cannot have summer off at home, that's ludicrous.

Wells has an actual injury, he has just been riding with it. It is not made up!

This is totally at odds with what Peterborough bosses have told the fans. Any development is said to be long term and no changes that will effect speedway expected for 2/3 years. Development plan the council have said will not be looked on favorably unless it involves safeguarding the future of the various existing sporting activities

Maybe it's buster playing Poole at their own game,,,,, no no no Mr Ford, track is waterlogged and we will wait till Ricky is back, its not fair on my fans they don't get to see Ricky

In the mid to late 70's Exeter had a tie up with Canterbury as Wally Maudsley was co promoter, with John Richards, at Exeter and Promoter at Canterbury. In those days ther was no doubling up but it was usual for 2nd division #1 & 2 to be linked to a 1st division track. You could only be used as a #8 or to replace an injured/ill rider. The 1st division was so strong then that 2nd division heat leaders were on a par with the 1st division reserves.

Appreciate Wells had a knock before signing for Poole but that hasn’t stopped him from taking guest bookings etc. When you have your own fans morning about him & then suggest “he steps aside” you can see how dodgy it looks.

So Wells perfectly ok to ride for Edinburgh on Sunday then develops a mysterious shoulder injury that keeps him out this week for Poole Poole can now use horses for courses.....what a mockery the sport is .......and always Poole involved amazing..............lets hope this injuries dont keep him out the play off matches!!

"Treble Champions 2019" good nickname that

Very good suggestions, like I say last Saturday we had big crowd, good atmosphere and a bit of pantomime.

Would be a good season opener. Friday at Edinburgh, Saturday at Berwick, Sunday at Glasgow.

Thanks to luck, judgement, and the good old fashioned weather we had a great night on Saturday and something I would like to see repeated, maybe at the start of next season and have a three teamed event.

That’s not correct. Insurance and referee fees increase for a double header, and medical costs and track curator wages may well increase. Two sets of tyres will be required. There is no assurance that the rent won’t attract a premium for a double-header. Bear in mind that for any ‘supplier’ to the Club except the riders, a double-header reduces their income opportunity (nine league events instead of ten) so they could well look to secure their income by charging more. Double-headers are never comfortable financially.

In the excellent book '70 Years of Rye House Speedway' by Norman Jacobs, this meeting is described as the Novice Knock-Out Championships.

Dont know what's happened to LCG lately but she's really not nice these days!
