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.

I can’t share the photo as I was told when receiving it not to post it. Sorry I would if I could. the whole of the back straight is in the photo taken from the pits gate looking towards the third bend, with a back of a tractor in the forground. The grader is plastered in very wet slosh, and it is the same the whole way down the back straight. You would need a pair of wellies to shuffle through it.

a runoff would have worked, anyone remember those? one rider from each team, easy really

Your glass isn't even half empty these days Taps.. Have a word with yourself mate

And that for me Is there only option, RR. For me if this was arranged then RR should have been used in his absence. Makes a total mockery of the rules. And fans, or so called fans {Poole haters} had the audasity to accuse us of cheating.

You're right, I really should make more effort, I know I'd enjoy it, I love the speed that they generate round there, it's exhilarating from the back straight. I'm only in Northwich, easy to get there really, I think I've become institutionalised, got too comfy, used to love getting wrapped up for Autumn meetings, BLRC at Hyde Road was always mid/late October.

One problem though. Playoffs are too well attended to bin them. I don't mind playoffs or league table either way tbh.

Although I'm certainly not a lover of the playoffs ( or particularly Poole come to that, although that's success envy really) and think the league should still be a league and not an end of season ko cup, having got to this point no way can it be decided on the league positions or league meeting averages prior to the playoffs. Needs to be a meeting somehow, somewhere, if not unfortunately Poole will probably win the 'league' by the last 3 heats on Wednesday.

Thank you. Hope you enjoy it.

And the Ipswich cretin doesn,t know his thumb from his p...k!

Or Jamrog

A cut off leg... sounds like a Pirate

Or Poole

Surely he is withholding his services so a 28 day ban at start of next season at least and a nl guest only allowed?

Given that Sheffield have a meeting in November why can’t Mildenhall pick a Saturday or Sunday in early/mid November to run these meetings rather than a off night when few will bother to traipse across country to watch late night speedway? Feel for the riders as well as the supporters who deserve more respect. Says it all about how the sport is run in this country and those in charge who continually stick two fingers up at all and sundry. They will only learn if fans boycott meetings but that will not happen but collectively supporters need to do something to teach these morons a lesson.

Oh please don’t spoil Lewy’s fairy stories. He provides such great entertainment to us all with them…..

Love watching the top riders it makes you appreciate how good they are compared to the rest
