Troy batchelor gives up whilst at the back !!! What a shocker

Batchelor should be sacked on the spot after tonight. Absolute joke!

Lewi kerr could well have a back injury from all the so called fans stabbing him in said area. He was a good signing 6 weeks ago!

WHY give Batchelor 4 RIDES when the first 3 he rode like that.What the hell is the team manager doing.

That’s exactly what I thought. Why all the fuss and demanding changes. It was just one meeting, Oxford won and Poole lost.😀

Track wasn't the problem on Wednesday. Poole weren't that great and Oxford were end of

If you've been effected by anything you've seen counselling is available by calling BSP Ltd!

So Oxford turned up looked at the track and got set up right.Poole turned up “ looked” At the track and got it wrong. All we ever hear now is the “ the tracked was different from last week”.Pretty poor for professionals who have been riding for years.

I wouldn't be dropping Kerr, all the seasons he has ridden in the second tier over the years tell you that his scores won't stay low. As for King, why would he leave Redcar while he is settled and happy there?

Sorry, but you can’t really believe that?! You’re taking the pi*s right?! His last two heats, he didn’t get far enough before pulling up to know his bike was ‘rubbish’. Still think you’re taking the mick…you can’t be serious.

Glad Tigers did the right thing and helped the Pirates out.

Troy Batchelor is an absolute disgrace. Should be fired before he even leaves the track tonight. If he isn’t and turns up tomorrow, he should be made to take the mic and apologise to the Workington fans, especially those that spent hard earned cash travelling to Scunthorpe.

He is now on a treble. Can he get a fourth one ?

I've never seen anybody make tossing a coin look so difficult 😂

Surely if there's a mathematical possibility that we could knock Poole out of the competition, Glasgow will do the honourable thing...

Maybe we could have put Bomber at 6 seemed to work a treat for Kings Lynn.

I thought the track rode brilliantly, some close races and passing. Give me that anytime over the rather processional first meeting.

As much as everyone would love a super strong lineup, the simple fact is that 16 riders are in the meeting. One will win and the record books show his name as champion, it doesn't say in Brackets some members of the BSF said it was a Mickey Mouse lineup so he's not a worthy champion.

Well as an away supporter who wasn’t going to make the trip, the club will be getting revenue from me if I buy the stream. Lots of tracks are doing it these days so I assume it’s a benefit to the clubs rather than having a negative impact.

They can just stop doing it if it affects the gate too much. Good on them for testing it and see how it does.

Thats a bit strong. I don't recall Gladhill shutting the throttle off like Boughen. In actual fact, I have never seen anyone shut off going into the 1st bend like him. It's a pretty dangerous thing to do. As for Gladhill he won the National League Riders Championship, when it was worth winning. So to compare is a little bit unfair.

Bullsh#t one ride should sort set up issues,they are not juniors.

World No.2, World No4., Six former British Champions. Apart from the injured Tai Woffinden, who else exactly do you want in there?

Thought we were pretty crap tonight and still managed to get to heat 14 with a chance of winning. Sedgy and Victor apart, Oskar just cousin get any speed in the bike, paco wasn’t great neither was Grahn. Kye needs replaced before his average falls through the floor as he’s getting more embarrassing by the week.

What an advert for speedway Ashfield is. A great evening of racing and an excellent result to go with it. I’ve been critical of Flint in the past, but take a bow son. We know what to expect with Harris, but Flint sensational. I thought Edinburgh were remarkably fortunate with the decisions in heats two and thirteen. For heat two, I can understand the decision because Perry goes down untouched, but let’s call a spade a spade, he hit the deck because Marson had little control over his bike. Perry would have passed him three bends earlier had he, again, had control of his bike. For heat thirteen, Polis - who I rate and was surprised by tonight - was all over the place; completely erratic. Had Harris not taken evasive action entering bend two, he’d have been on the deck and Polis would have been excluded. He didn’t though; he chopped it and came under the Pole while Howarth raced around him - or was about to - until he was obstructed. If you obstruct a rider going quicker than you, you’re both crashing. Regardless of whether your handlebars are in front or not; common sense should prevail. Great night, bizarre decisions.

Disgraceful from Batchelor. Should be fired on the spot.

Some harsh comments here. Yes it isn't acceptable by Batch but his bike was awful today. I agree it wasn't good enough. Why didn't he choose his second bike? However, he wasn't pulled up at the back because he was losing. His bike was just rubbish.

Well if you do not contribute the place will shut down and a bit unfair on the other 6 riders.I am bringing a Redcar fan over tomorrow as likes the racing at Northside.

On ability not much between them?? There's no contest. Going into this season with troy batchelor as number 1 had disaster written all over it. Not one of the paying workington fans should have to contribute to paying his wages tomorrow. He should be sacked tonight, blatantly shutting off an uninterested, must be the worste showing from a supposed number one and captain iv ever seen.

Can’t agree. Craig has proved so far this season he is night and day better than Batchelor. There’s no way the quitter would have scored 15 for Oxford the other night.

Not sure about that. On ability not much between them. Worky have annoyed him for some reason imo.

He now has an Audi. Absolute disgraceful behaviour. Such a bad example to his team mates

Nicolai Klindt signs for Rzeszow

Zmarzlik watch out! 👀

Not surprised dogs love it, we all as fans love the smell, Dogs have much better ability to smell, so the methanol fix for them must be off the charts 😉

I believe It adversely affected the gate at Glasgow so they stopped streaming. Why encourage people to sit at home on a lovely day, miss positives such as fresh air, the crack with fellow supporters, sharing a beer or an ice cream, getting involved in generating atmosphere etc etc. Just don't get it. Streaming won't save clubs when the crowds have gone and nobody wants to go because nobody else goes.

Don't know if there are any motorway closures planned, but the A18 runs parallel to the motorway and will bring you out at the end of the M181 roundabout at Tesco Extra.

Yes i did realise that- as for the silly amounts you bet- i am going through calculator batteries like there is no tomorrow lol

You put pressure on ever rider from day one.

Poole High Tide: 23/04/25: 19:47 07/05/25: 19:46 ... so not that 🌊

Seem to have missed the answer to the question... Champions of Great Britain 2016 Danny King 2017 Craig Cook 2019 Charles Wright Yes. They wouldn't get anywhere near Gilkes even. And two of them are dead.

Indeed. They already had several sponsors on board, but still recruiting more. You see, this is how you run a successful business. They deserve any success that comes their way.

Worst british final line up ever

Personally I think its mainly down to rider skill or lack of. The best meeting I ever seen at Shielfield was the round of the U21 World Final a few years back. I think as Fromafar eludes to alot of the modern day riders are as quick as each other when in front but couldnt pass wind behind.

I've witnessed riders who struggle to deal with dirt but look comfortable when tracks are slick. I would imagine the best gaters prefer slick as such conditions appear to make it harder to overtake. In my opinion too grippy a track isn't great while sometimes slicker conditions can produce good racing . Tracks prepared with enough dirt to produce a good outside line along with adequate moisture level to prevent a track becoming too slick seems to produce better racing in my subjective view. Consistent tracks, prepared with the sole aim of facilitating entertaining racing should be the ultimate aim because fans pay their money to be entertained.

He looks like an old dog... and there's life left in him yet 🐶

2 Speedway meetings !- SGP 3 final ( 250CC) on the Friday ( probably late afternoon/ early evening). Always a cracking meeting
