£3195.06 was raised last night for the Ben fund and that includes the £200 Emil won for breaking the track record. Top bloke.

In my experience what riders think is a good track and what supporters do can differ greatly.

Some tremendous racing,fair play too Plymouth put up a good show with under strength Team.Harris and Worrell telling how it is in GB speedway( very p#ssed off with it).Well done BSN some great camera work and presentation.

Be the usual late change to line up rubbish replaced by some NDL rider even though they knew he’d never be there. Cheating the fans once again.

On a positive note I think Klindt deserves a lot of credit for his performances this season in an awful team, after a slow start and since taking on the captaincy he's been excellent and is rider of the year by a mile and not just because he's the last man standing from the start of the season As for Artem, he's been a massive disappointment and doesn't seem to have the right attitude for racing over here. I'm sure there are various other factors but if you don't give 100% you aren't going to succeed.

Doesn't deserve a place Has shunned British Speedway and the British Final for many years He can't expect to and should not be be prioritised over the next on the list as it stood before his return

Wow, just wow. Started a bit slow with all the shower making the track a bit heavy, but bomber and particularly basso unbelievable racing. Special mention for Ace brilliant move in heat 12.

Won't see anymore of Traçkrat tonight

Conner Bailey starting to show his potential.

Youre really full of love aren't ya.

Ben Basso just wow.

Richie Worrall is not taking his place in Mondays British Final because he doesn't agree with the one-off final. should be 3 or 4 rounds.

Really entertaining meeting. BSN really can put together a package that is far superior to anything Eurosport has ever produced. Great interviews as well with a real scoop from the very amusing Richie Worrall.

Great result and the bonus. . That will keep trapshut quiet for a while.

Ablitt looks like he's been tapped up with a brown envelope

What on the spur of the moment. never change do you, still as deluded as ever.

We do , but people have to work. But i doubt that even crossed that tiny mind of yours

Any magic wand that conjures up Craig Cook clearly isn’t fit for purpose.

The racing has confirmed that I'll be watching the football tomorrow

As a Poole fan I am used to people slagging off the club. i watched the BSN broadcast on Tuesday. It was obvious which clubs riders did not want to ride. Do some clubs want Plymouth out of the league because of the distance to travel especially in the summer with the holiday traffic? Just asking. With regard to not naming a rider for tonight remember Dan Thompson was only injured last night. Two Plymouth riders avre in the U21 Speedway of Nations, which I am watching. In addition there are six teams racing tonight. Poole have two guests at reserve, Scunthorpe have a reserve guest for Kemp, Where do you think Plymouth will get a guest from?

Don't other teams have any gaters then. Poole can't have the only ones surely.?? ps. Opposition riders, when interviewed, often say the track is great. Sam Masters said exactly that on Wednesday, and would 'love to race there every week'! The usual suspects on here complained about holes and ruts in the past but they have been sorted out a few years ago.

No I mean we are lucky to have a world class talent who has been 110% commited....been the best rider in the league and has time for the fans and has been a credit to the club and to the league Could have had cry baby Nicki or Artem who clearly doesnt want to be here

Well i bought the BSN and i should have known better...........dross as usual at Poole Poole have done the right thing preparing a track that you cant pass on as they have a team of gaters particularly their top two who cant pass anyone You cant blame Poole for doing that they want to be successful and its the only thing that keeps the crowds coming in as Poole fans notoriously disappear when they arent winning Poole track used to be good when they had a team of racers there like Loram and Nicholls............no way would the track be prepared as it is now if this was 1999 lol You go for home track advantage and nothing wrong with that......you certainly wouldnt see the move Harris did on Doyle he wouldnt have had any chance on the current track What annoys people is the fact Poole fans cant take this point of view......its clear to everyone the track is set for gaters ....accept it and move on My track Ipswich is not a great track and we know that as Ipswich fans and certainly wouldnt claim it to be good like Poole fans What we do have is amazing riders like Doyle and Emil who bring in the crowds ......we arent likely to make top 4 but we go to see these 2 superstars So come on Poole fans admit the track is poor but its done to be successful which is fine

Speedway in GB needs a total revamp.It’s really just like a Circus Act nowadays , same riders appearing at your track weekly riding for different Teams.( even your own some weeks).One main league ,riders committed to riding in GB(no GP stars taking all the money out the sport).NDL riders as reserves or even in the Team if necessary.No guests except for injury to No1.The standard will drop the racing will not suffer IMO with riders of the same standard racing each other more often than present day (Premiership is 2 standards in 1 Team).Rearranging fixtures will become more easy.Teams riding on what night suits the Club.It just cant go on like this if it too survive.(hard hat on). ps the NDL proves you only need riders of the same standard to provide entertaining racing.

Who was the presenter last night? Did a top job imo especially considering the long gap that had to be filled

Topping last year's £2772 which was already the highest in either league.

They get smashed by throttle control!

Were you there....? Going fast is not just 100% throttle, its about body positioning and track craft. Something the new track record holder has in abundance. Whilst other riders rely on a quick bike to win races

If he didn't dangle his leg off the footrest mid bend every time he may find it more stable. Adapt your riding!

Worrall is obviously using last season's race suit.

Has the British final not always been a 1 off meeting tho? Even if it was 3 or 4 rounds he still wouldn't stand a chance.

Some really decent racing Harris is value for money .

FFS Havvy. T/R against Douglas?

Even as a Poole fan, he was bit of a handful. He actually knocked me down the steps at Wimborne Road when he was being a pr*ck and jumping around...

Plymouth website has r/r for Gilkes and Dan T tbc. Which probably means a local junior if he's not fit

Poole used to be a bit rough with ruts and a bit bouncy, lots used to moan about it, now it is smooth riders prefer it but lots moan about lack of passing but very few tracks have alot of passing unless there are mistakes or mismatches in ability, also I think at this time of year it seems it is difficult to prepare a track that generates much passing, i went to Oxford recently and Poole got hammered but there was very little passing, unusual for Oxford you might say. I think later in the year when we get to the play offs you will see better racing at Poole than we have recently.

Kerr only broke his collarbone 4 weeks ago and now he’s back at reserve could be valuable as he was last time in that position. Last one to be dropped for me. Forms a good relationship on track with Tai too.

Could they not ask for themself? Oh sorry you're a Poole fan and you have just got to comment.

Edited just for you

Would have to drop Ellis and one of Howarth or Kerr, that would give us somewhere around 4 to 4.5 for another rider not sure if that would make us stronger, probably would depending on who we can sign on a 4.5 average

Chearing?

Not unless they drop at least one other rider which i cant see happening.

Good meeting last night.nice to see some team riding ,Woffy 1st class in holding off Fricke who tried everything to get past ,great riding by both riders .Also Fricke then with Worrell to hold off Ellis .Tobi great race with Lawson .Woffy having a good battle with Worrell .A mention to both Edward’s and young Piper both getting stuck in with Piper not getting the points his efforts deserved.Hope the person who required the medical attention is ok .

If ever there was a meeting of two halves he had that kind of meeting - he was on the pace in heat 1 but simply couldnt match Emil. in his 2nd ride he gated last and had worked his way past Mountain and Riss - it was the final lap and he was trying to reel in Danny when he vanished into the fence on the 2nd bend final lap -. Then in his next ride he pulled up at the back and then was pulled from heat 13! Odd in my view.

I see that regarding Jonas yet local paper has him not riding no doubt his inclusion is subject to change lol

I recall the time that Garry Middleton whilst transporting Barry Briggs's machine back from the continent took it upon himself to dismantle the engine hoping to find why Briggo was successful only to be caught in the act by Barry himself...wish I had been a fly on the wall at that moment!

Where's the British U21 Champion?

I presume you don't mean the 4 valve Rudge in 1929?

needs tough decisions unpopular with riders and some fans. The day 4 valves came in was the beginning of the bike wagging the rider so to speak. 90pc of fans couldn't give a moneys about the bikes, just want decent racing at a price we can afford.
