He could be back from his Honeymoon before the 2nd leg.!!!

Deal has been agreed, official announcement from the club on its way. https://theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2022/10/monarchs-look-set-for-armadale-reprieve/?fbclid=IwAR0Ev3wSnFhxZdO5fTgAKF8khpmb2LAFZUTAVJYBfnr-MsiV_QWKPg3xI9k

Think he will get a lifetime ban if he withholds his services whilst on honeymoon !!

But i do..... that's a thumb - you're a pr1ck

You fear those last three heats could cost Leicester. A lot depends on the state of the track Saturday, if its a wet mess all home advantage will be lost. As for Howarth, if he is getting married then absolutely a guest should be allowed, this final should have been ridden weeks ago.

Shovlar bingo:- Massive crowd Great racing Poole underdogs Leicester's to lose now Better than the premiership final Coming to a post near you soon

Just got back from meeting the true "LEGEND" of British Speedway that is PC... A phrase far too often overused but one million per cent applicable on this occasion... A good crowd it appeared so hopefully he will make a good few quid from the book.. And he looked really well, which was also great to see... PC....

He could be divorced before the 2nd leg...

And who are we waiting for to conclude the season? Oh yeah Leicester

Maybe they are using the Garry May pad of medical certificates - surprised he's got any left to be honest?!

Why on earth would that be? There is no problem at all with stadium availability, we run into November, simple as that, you guys set that precedent last year

Tractor was moved off centre towards the end of season after feedback

There are only two types of fans aren't there? 'Poole fans' and 'fans of whoever Poole are riding against'. Don't think any 'neutral' fans exist.

Maybe they rang Armando Castagna

Another British final farce this, fans stood around while BSPL/SCB decide what to do with tie

Yup, we've been waiting since September the 24th for you to sort yourselves out. For some unknown reason you decided to prioritise a benefit meeting and the KO Cup over the pay offs!

Playoffs have been going for 20 years and have been the best thing to happen to the sport. Bloody love them, even when we finished top in 2010 and lost to a team 24 points behind us. Massive crowds, thrills and winners crowned Champs. Nothing better.

Really it’s a sideshow how for instance can a team that finishes 6th potentially be crowned champions. We need to get back to simplifying the sport and that means league winners are champions. This season has been a farce stumbling from one balls up to another , fixture planning has been shambolic and it needs sorted. Just how I see it following Speedway can frustrate the life out you as it continually shoots itself in the foot.

That’s simply not true. We want champions who ever it is. No point participating in a sport if there’s no winner. Winning is everything.

Just abandon the season,no one really cares anymore.Trophies mean nothing,the fans that’s left just want to watch racing.

Has nobody thought of setting fire to the track?

Eddie handed some back.!!

If the tie cannot be held by 31 October, because both Clubs have been unable to fulfil all fixtures it should revert to league tale Champions are Leicester Runners Up are Glasgow.

You're forgetting the tides, when there's a high tide the Leicester track doesn't drain that well I though it was a couple of fans... can't really remember tbh

They will have a guest as he is signed off medically.

Due to clear in next we mins to leave a dry and breezy day. Dry all day tomorrow. Looks like Leicester riders will be greeted by a differently prepared track on Saturday, similar to what the Poole riders had to face last night, which gives an advantage to the away side.

Simon Lambert missed a meeting for Peterborough at Workington i believe as he was getting married, a guest facility was granted for his absence due to the fact his wedding was obviously arranged well in advance and the meeting he was unavailable for was a rearranged meeting due to the original dste being called off, as Howarth is getting married in Mexico the facility should be available also to Leicester.

No, you don’t need to do that. Don’t lower yourself to that

Have just been looking at the fixture list and there's something like 13 meetings being ran in 10 days at this time of year, and a few of those are double headers. It's wet, cold, damp etc and the fans are expected to see the pinnacle of the season in conditions which is a lottery. Madness and laughable.

Can tell you for certain he didn't bin it.

Er probably due to 7 day rule.

27 coaches of Poole fans will be there Saturday night...

A speedway rider getting married in October on their teams race night is a bit ridiculous!

I disagree, to get closer racing you want the gap from the top riders & bottom riders to be closer together.

Can't quite figure why a ballot when Wolves scored 10 vs Peterborough and Sheffield, Peterborough scored 9 vs Wolves and Sheffield, Sheffield scored 8 vs Peterborough and Wolves. Wolves should be through to the semi outright! Format in programme literally says "If more than 2 teams are tied, the team with the highest scoring heat results (presumably against each other otherwise no point!) will qualify".

Track only needs sorted out because of How should I put it the Weather who would have thought it eh.

Keep the faith Workington still appear on championship forum page now and again, hopefully some news soon regarding 2023 UTC we are still on 1st page just !!

12 rides, Mildenhall are running r/r

IF they don't get a facility, then they don't get R/R as that is a facility.

Pairs is at Leicester on Monday. Are they prepared for back to back meetings?

..but he's correct!!!!

Oh yeah. Just need Frank Ebdon to be the ref!

I know he doesn't... but your talisman let your club down badly and not just on that night

Exactly! Where do find the equipment to pick up and store perhaps 15-20 tons of soaking wet shale , where do put it and where do you find the unpaid volunteer staff to do all this. Even if you could somehow get the wet shale off where do you get hold off another 10 tons of dry shale at the back end of the season ? Totally unworkable suggestion to relay the track and bed it down .

Still aTop man in Championship terms.Had a season too forget this year ,mainly with bad luck.

I think 1000's of fans of the sport already "boycott" meetings each week... What you have left are the true die hards who will accept any Speedway put in front of them, regardless of whether it is a credible offering, has integrity, or is even worth winning... Luckily for the promoters, "just enough" of these people will never stop going, meaning promoters can carry on season in, season out, running the sport the way they want... A pity... It wouldn't take any more money at all to run the sport properly, and would get a fair few thousand more "lapsed fans" through the turnstiles each season too I would suggest...

As for the Monarchs team. I'd be absolutely delighted if the run & not bothered who they'd sign as long as the Speedway continued.

Was always my vantage point!

The middle of the Fens at midnight a couple of nights before Halloween is the last place I'd want to be! Its just a ridiculous situation to be in and missing the number 1 just tops it off.

I know Batchelor can be frustrating at times but he's been dumped at no. 5 with him being on a 5/6 average and hes scored his average. If King performed how he should've done being the 2nd heat leader we'd all be having Batchelor in our teams. Ride him at number 2 so he's with Doyle for 3 rides and watch the 5-1's come in! They love riding together so why wouldn't our numb nuts team manager ride them together???? Doyle 10.32 Batch 5.57 Riss 6.00 Howarth 5.42 Pickering 6.14 Barker 4.42 Hume 4.09 41.96
