Sore losers!! Really? Just because you've got a crap track, can't afford the water bill, your lights are dodgy, no mentioning the bloody ref!! We where robbed and you know it...

Co-op funerals advertising on TNT during SGP2... they certainly know their demographic ⚰️

Just for balance, in heat 7 Anders gated and the race was stopped. In the re-run he didnt and Oxford got a 4-2.

Congrats to Leicester on winning the KO Cup, and the double for you Leicester fans is certainly on. On the meeting itself, didn't really think Lynn had much of a shout after Monday's draw, but as they proved at Foxhall a couple of weeks ago, Klindt at reserve can rack up the points, so anything was still possible. On Heat 6, we all see it differently, but after seeing Kerr's pass quite rightly allowed against Dan Thompson at Foxhall (Just Hard Racing)i feel it was the correct decision to exclude Klindt, but again just my opinion, and it had no effect on the overall result whatsoever. But i must admit, even though Lewi Kerr wasn't great on Monday, to leave him out for an old and still injured Scott Nicholls was mind numbing, Scott hasn't even had 1 ride at this level in 12 Months and Lynn throw him in for a Final. Bad choice for me, but again, Kerr might not of made much improvement on the score. Lynn were superb at Foxhall in 2nd Leg, and it's all If's and But's, but if Iversen was riding that night, i'm not so sure Lynn would of got through, especially going on Monday and Thursday's scores, but they did and they totally deserved to go through. Now it's time for teams to complete their League Campaign's and see what the Play Offs Bring, top 4 has been welded in since the 1st week of the season, let's see how the Semi Final's pan out and hope the season finishes on a high with 6 cracking meetings. Then of course, for another day, where will UK Speedway be this time next year with what teams race and in what league. Congrats again to those Lions Riders and Supporters.....

I haven't seen Cairns being moaned about from any Poole fans! seems a wind up from other teams supporters! He is 16 and already done an amazing job and he will continue that in 2026 with Poole!

Come on clive you've watched enough speedway to know this was blatantly cheating i expected better from you.

I hate to think what could of happened if he had tripped or not got through the gap in time

Well, I quite enjoyed the meeting. I've never been a fan of the track, but there was some racing and definitely plenty of incidents - certainly more than Monday night. Heat 6: hard ride by Fricke - he had the speed and the line, and it was very much a GP type of pass. Similar principle to Kerr's pass on Thompson in the SF at Foxhall. Chris Harris: He has reached the highest level of the sport, and produced some remarkable, memorable racing - but what a whinger last night! Complaining about the track, and saying that he'll always do his best to entertain - but forgetting completely how dreadfully poor he was on his home circuit on Monday. As expected, KL's decision to use guests backfired - the benefit of having a strong reserve negated by poor performances that swallowed-up the reserve rides. Leicester by far the better over both legs. PS: Are Leicester going to be allowed a facility for Becker for the rest of the season?

All the refs at Poole get free b/b at Bailey House 😝

Anyone thinking Morris was just going to rock up and score 8-10 points with no competitive racing for 2 years is living in dreamland. Was always going to be more 3-5.

If, as you say, there's still time to revert I wonder why they made the move so early, unless other clubs were sniffing around, no pun intended.

... do the refs also have massive Pirates logos on their backs when they visit Poole? 🤔😂

Bubbalicious 😂

We need Hagon to turn up

If you zoom in on the little patch of stand on the home straight, and don't zoom out again.... it looks healthy.

These King's Lynn lot are quite sore losers aren't they... you'd think they'd be well used to it by now 😂

Not sure which Worky will turn up for this, hope it is the sharp confident racing head on one. I will be cheering them on . UTC👍👊

He’s just presenting the facts,You’re the one who mentioned bribery..

But he didn't, so you're saying Poole bribed the referee

The best and most positive aspect of the final was that it took place in July as planned rather than in monsoon conditions in mid October Below par track surfaces, poorish racing and the finalists and winners being significantly influenced by facilties and guest options still an issue when in comes to integrity and the likelihood of enhanced national profile

so the poole start marshal didnt go on track to remove tapes after poole gated but left them when oxford gated it is against rules for anyone to go on track when racing is under way ref should have stopped the re run in ht 15 once the start marshal went on track

You clearly don't get out enough.

Fair enough, I don't know of any riders complaining about it either, it does have an adverse effect on viewing though imo.

Will's GSA now down to 3.74 after 7 matches. That will do nicely if the GSA AV only cover matches in regular League season (i.e 16 maches). There are 3 matches left (1 hone - 2 away) so with Poole comfortably inplay offs and good chance the would be top. I would suggest Will is told to just enjoy getting track time & experience in those 3 matches and not push it. We could in effect see him nearer 3 than 4 which for team building 2026 would be a bonus if you factor in possible Rushen 2 - Bailey 4 plus Will on maybe 3.50. In effect 9.50 points for 3 of the brightest young talents in the sport. That would leave approx 30.5 for the top 4. Lawson 9.5/9.75 - Rowe 7.75/8(maybe lower as he is riding partly injured) - Cook or another 7.35/7.5 pus a rider maybe up to 5. You would expect Cairns to push on an add to his expected closing 2025 GSA and as for Rushen & Bailey ?. Well who knows but expect more upside in than their combined current GSA's.

Was raining but i think it has brightened up now.

Why make things up? Literally NOBODY has said that ffs 🙄

Watched the live stream. Referee Wayne Jarvis had trainee Josh Marsh with him. I wonder if the trainee had control by heat 15 and inexperience played a part in the events. If that was the case my feeling is that Mr Jarvis should have stepped in and stopped the race and ordered a re-run in the interests of safety. The referee’s report would make interesting reading. I would expect advisory notices to be issued to the Poole management, the starter, referee and trainee and rightly or wrongly that will be the end of it.

I think it'll be really close for 2nd, 3rd & 4th. Ipswich could meet Belle Vue in the semi final as Leicester & Sheffield it still have to go to Birmingham & Oxford, plenty of away points available. All to play for, unless semi's are decided for "commercial" reasons?

...and none are moaning about Thomsen either.

Absolutely not! Regardless of the calendar, and prevailing weather, tracks are NOT expected to be dusty! As one who attends several tracks fairly regularly, I can say with some certainty there are those where dust can be practically guaranteed, and others where it is never, ever, a problem. Dust at speedway is a result of inadequate preparation, not from any great expectations.

Hyde road so you're answer of None is laughable 🤣

Scunthorpe (32) 1. Steve Worrall 2. Zaine Kennedy 3. Luke Harrison 4. Connor Mountain 5. Jake Allen 6. Declan Kennedy 7. Simon Lambert Workington (58) 1. Troy Batchelor 2. Fraser Bowes 3. Tate Zischke 4. Jye Etheridge 5. Antti Vuolas 6. Jacob Hook 7. Connor Coles (G) No Vinnie Foord today due to injury. As usual it won’t be an easy task at the EWR but some real encouraging performances from all of our lads over the last few weeks! Come on the Comets!

Wykyk!

There are plenty of fans and contributors to this forum that would like nothing more than for Swindon Speedway to return, myself included, but like you and many others that have been around this whole sorry saga from the start, know deep down that it is unlikely to ever happen, and as Swindon Council have always complied fully with Osborne, then have no doubt that the Abbey is sadly history once the formalities have been completed.One thing for sure the next few months are going to be very interesting following the the process.

brits poor,

I really wouldnt be surprised if either of them beat MPT

Absolutely needs to work smarter.

Loram went straight into the top league with Hackney in 1987…. Moved down with Hackney in 88 and moved to Ipswich in 89 before going back up with Kings Lynn in 1990

Silver was a very talented rider, similar to Kelly Moran in style, he had a couple of nasty crashes though and I think was never the same after them, Screen should have probably been the best English rider of recent memory he came straight into the top league as a reserve when the British League as it was then was a really high standard, even Loram had a year at Hackney before moving up. We were truly spoiled in those days Screen, Loram, Henka, T Rick, Gollob, Moran Brothers, Ermolenko, Lance King, Morton, PC all great racers and those names are just from my first sixty seconds of thought, Sean Wilson he was another one.

To be fair there wasn’t any more passing at lynn in the first leg or the meeting against Ipswich but because of the closeness of the scores it made it interesting. it’s a pity Leicester couldn’t be changed to a Redcar shape track and leave bends 3&4 in the same place and shorten the length. And use the space at bends 1&2 to have an open style pits like they have at Oxford.

If he remains injured then yes. If my understanding is correct there is no time limit on an rr facility for an injured rider. And I suspect Leicester would argue their is no suitable replacement. It also plays into the hands of Mr Dickson who I think is one of the more astute Team Managers. When they won the Championship double in 2019 he exploited running rr for the second half of the season with some match winning guest bookings away from home.

Would of been apt to change team nicknames for the night, Oxford pirates etc.

Eric Riss down to ride for Landshut away to Daugavpils this weekend

Bit harsh considering it's only his 3rd meeting back after being out injured since the tail end of last season.

Not seen any of it tonight but imagine you have an empty field and you end up building a track that shape 😂

Not stopped our riders passing the KL riders!

Action should be taken retrospectively, the evidence is irrefutable no even Poole fans can deny that.

I doubt you will hear what the ref thought at the time.

Using your argument then, it could be argued that Smith has had several auditions to prove his worth and to keep his team place. Has he done that ?.
