  1. But they shouldn't have to move the cut off point.I think by the 22nd of September all teams have had adequate amount of time to get all league fixtures done.We have had one of the driest Summers in years and yet there is still league fixtures to fit in.Shambolic is the word that springs to mind.Too many weeks have gone by with no fixtures.especially during the Summer holidays.There is no excuse for this to happen.

  4. To be fair to them... Since the 28th of March when the Premiership ran the first League Cup match... There have only been 54 days available on a Monday and a Thursday to complete 10 home meetings... In fact, only 52 when you take the SON break out... What chance did they have? Expecting them to run 10 meetings over this time would be asking far too much especially as every rider in the league would be available every single Monday and Thursday due to priority race nights... We will be expecting them to invent fire next....

  5. The most sensible thing to do for credibilitys sake is Sheffield forfit against Ipswich and give them 4 points. This should be made a rule,,,, I bet teams would re arrange their fixtures better in future if that was the case

  7. How does an Edinburgh v Leicester topic end up talking about Poole ?

  8. At least Poole don't have Danes fencing/blocking their own guest team mates eg Flint!! Or failing to turn up after 'aggravating his injury' no doubt whilst doing commentary for Danish TV!!!? Still at least it saved Plymouth the air fares!!! Suck it up Buttercup!

  9. Totally shambolic and is part of the reason I (and many hundreds perhaps thousands) no longer attend The "top" league is not even sufficiently organised to get what is about half the traditional number of fixtures run Meetings that have a material impact on finishing positions and therefore the pairings for the league title deciding play offs not being run within cut off timescales is simply unacceptable at any level of sport let alone a fully professional top level

  12. Yes but until last night you could argue we had a better team last season apart from the the Cooks who were awful at Leicester last season. They have improved alot. Incredible performance from Ben.

  13. We’ve 6 teams in the league for Christ sake, how we’ve got to the stage where there are outstanding fixtures to squeeze in when we’ve had between April and mid September is ridiculous but here we are. To ride play off meetings with pairings that could up being the wrong pairings is embarrassing.

  14. Tonight could be fun at Sheffield 1, if Sheffield want us in semi they will want to loose tonight. 2, if we want Ipswich in semi we want to loose tonight. Say if that’s what both teams want could be an interesting 15 races. Slowest times wins lol

  15. Sadly nothing on the meeting for Wolves dead rubber for them - will help for average reduction as well - protecting there selfs for the play offs - im sure come the semis they will be a very different side . But we’ll done the Stars on there win

  17. Picture the scene... The meeting goes ahead in the rain, and heat 9 has just been raced. Riders come out for heat 10 where we all know once completed the meeting will be abandoned and result will stand with Sheffield leading. Then the air fence deflates all by itself... the highly trained Sheffield track staff are unable to fix the issue, the match has to be abandoned without a result as the curfew hits... If Carlsberg did speedway....

  21. Wembley hosted league racing in 5 decades (1920's, 30's, 40's, 50's and 70's), Odsal in 6 decades (40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's).

  22. It's quite amazing really when you consider the long hot summer we've had and only 6 teams in the league and here we are struggling to fulfill all the fixtures.

  25. He's no Nicki P tbf! Still think they were just going for same bit of track. But I will let you have it if you can find the other examples of him 'fencing opposition riders most weeks, esp Danes.' I mean if it happens most weeks can't be hard to find can it?

  27. Not sure the move to the hounds was in his thoughts at all. Never heard any suggestion of that before. The rest I agree with though. For the six years he ran it, he upgraded the track and stadium and always invested heavily in the team (not always successfully). The end was always inevitable given the Bradford City fire and the scale of redevelopment required of a wooden stadium, the value of the land in Manchester and the relatively limited income potential of running a speedway/stock car venue. I also understand he had a divorce from Pat to pay for? Hyde Road, Plough Lane and Brandon are the nearest the sport has had to iconic venues....and they were all allowed to slip into the wrong hands and outside of British Speedway's control. The sport never has had any vision or long-term coherent strategy....hence its lost its most cherished assets. It's still a miracle the new Belle Vue got built. Chris Morton and David Gordon deserve a medal for that at the very least.

  29. This is an Edinburgh v Leicester thread and Poole posters have taken over another thread. Anyway I fancy the Monarch’s for a narrow aggregate victory and the best derby in speedway awaits in the final.

  32. They could've changed tonights meeting to be against Ipswich instead of Belle Vue, so lets hope it gets rained off in the best interests of the sport!!!!

  34. I tend to disagree. Winning 2 or 3 cup ties at the end of a season is nowhere near enough to ensure 'deserving' Champion status. And Monarchs definitely do not deserve to call themselves Champions in 2022. Only Leicester have earned that particular accolade.

  36. I can agree with that mate. Morris hasn't done the business away from considering his average is what over 10pts now? Howarth has been immense and worrall has done his job . Feel sorry mountain as he's been riding at number 2 which is always difficult. And dan Thomson has been great this year holding his own in the main body

  38. Seems to be quite a few negative comments about the Swedish GP. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but after attending the GP earlier this week its fair to say we all enjoyed a great weekend in a fabulous country. Thought the Stadium and track were great and we all enjoyed the meeting. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience . Would we go again? Absolutely 100% we would.

  39. Have a sneaking suspicion Edinburgh might go through this tie. Riders got bit of extra motivation with missing next season masters and Pickering in particular have very strong affinity for the club. Wouldn't an Edinburgh Glasgow play off final be a fitting send off to armadale? Having said that Poole Leicester is a certainty now ha
