Took this photo of the Red Arrows yesterday

think Sheffield is the only track where best viewing position is closed to the public,,,🤣

Janowski it is. Like being teased Lego for Christmas and then ending up with a lump of coal.

Out of Blodorn , Cook , Mulford and Tate the only Sheffield rider any of them have beaten is Etheridge … that is shocking

well done lewi made a few people look clueless, good lad

'The scb letters to the Poole clerk of the course and Poole Promotion asked for the start marshall to be thanked for his prompt and speedy reactions to allow racing to continue and reach a satisfactory meeting conclusion despite the referee's lack of action.'😂

Fans complain when riders seem to choose to give meetings a miss over here, however.. Promoters,actually plan meetings in knowing that sometimes exactly the same riders will be elsewhere on that night... The message they give therefore, is that it is obviously acceptable to UK Speedway for you to miss meetings and your presence isn't fundamentally important... Which also then, obviously gives the events themselves the same lack of fundamental importance in the opinions of so many... You cannot blame riders for deciding to stay aligned to their biggest paymaster when the UK version of the sport is ran the way it is...

That was hard work. Shows the value of Howarth.

Heat 9 was the perfect opportunity to replace Zischke with Kurtz.

Fair play to BV for sticking with Zischke, Basically threw away any chance of winning a trophy.

Morris away for a few years is it shushy shushy

Hope you're making the racing sound good... 2 heats, 2 passes!

And you question him, as a Poole fan

I'm here. Haven't done one this season!

Also to be awarded the Victoria Cross for services to duty with his life in extreme danger.

He did. What actually happened was: tried his 2nd engine at Glasgow which had been good previously, but after first heat it wasn't good, so swapped to 2nd bike with his usual Workington engine. After his 3rd ride that engine blew up immediately after the race snapping its camchain. Back onto first bike for heat 13 with some big changes and managed to get a win whilst feeling slow. For Workington, now only had one bike so borrowed an engine from Jacob Hook ( as his workshop is in Workington) that was "strong" so that he had 2 bikes (the alternative was a 20 hr round trip to home to collect a spare engine, but only had 19 hrs before the next meeting). Tried Hooky's engine in the first 2 heats but struggled to get out of the starts with it ( heavier flywheels than normal may have been the difference? but jumped back onto the underperforming engine again for the last 2 rides and made some radical changes again and managed to win heat 13 again with a massive cutback off the first turn and a defensive ride. Was out after the meeting on that same underperforming engine trying some other radical changes to see if they helped it to perform better. So a frustrating weekend some high points, some low points and no doubt a big bill to come too. Hope that explains what happened

If i were a Lions fan i think i would be on the side of continuing with r/r as it has worked so well.

I'm not so forgiving, he was well enough to take 6 rides in his first meeting back, it's just the same as the rest, this is the new normal now, when riders came back from injury before, they came back everywhere, not just Poland... I'm idioting sick of it!

enjoyed the day out, some good races, did watch from quit a few different areas , 1st bend and start straight, you did get covered in dust, ended up on third bend , near the food and beer, weather was excellent, and got a good view of red arrows. nice place yo visit. perfect for a family too visit,

He is only insulting when he opens his mouth to speak, cant stand the bloke.

Spanked tonight just a warm up to an even bigger hiding on Thursday. Half a team in any sport and the writing is on the wall.

Personally thought he should have made the Tac Sub in heat 5. Early but so what? Norick out, Tate or Jake out, What's the difference???

If you don’t get to the outside line first at T2 you’re buggered basically.

You can’t surely think your team manager has got it right tonight

Highlights of the Leicester vs Oxford match just came on and I had to turn my living room lights up… Jesus that place is dark.

He's never been the best tactically.........

he baffles me you could write a book about his mistakes he should have used Kurtz last week in heat 5 as a tac sub for Lidsey's R/R because Kurtz couldn't take a R/R ride !!

Why on earth no tac sub in heat 9 … that’s shocking

Kurtz just rode the ride of the night. I don’t need to see anymore haha

Take it all back, what a race that was.

Oxford have no chance now. They will have to beat Glasgow away, otherwise 18 points (what Edinburgh already have) is the maximum they can get.

Cappuccino for me.

It's very fortunate for Leicester, that Becker can use his Polish club as a way to make his return to riding, and they will also take responsibility for any additional rehabilitation needs arising therefrom. Leicester therefore have protection from any adverse consequences, whilst this remains the case. Back in days of yore, it would be a run-out in the second half of a meeting, and if he could complete 4 laps, back in the team, often with bad consequences

I didnt think referees were subject to points off their licence!

What an uninspiring wildcard.

I’d bring Jenkins back ASAP and let him be part of the team, IMO it will only feel right to finish the league how we started it and as must as we win together we also lose together as a team.

Victor Palovaara has made an impressive start to his Oxford Spires career.

There should be no real surprise that he suffered a negative reaction physically to his first meeting back Consider that after the plates/posts and screws had been put in place to repair and hold his neck back together, his muscles & ligaments had completely siezed requiring massive amounts of very uncomfortable physio in order to regain a reasonable of movement. Now we know Polish speedway tracks are large and smooth and some claim, much easier to ride that the tight technical tracks of the UK. But in reality, riding around polish tracks at 60+ mph with the weight of an helmet and the bumps and turns involved will have put some considerable strain on Beckers recovering neck - hence more physio to try and get the movement back into the injured area. Also worth noting that although he won his first two races he failed to do likewise in any of the other four rides.

Jack Holder didn't get a ban when he missed a match due to a family illness. Seems like if his wife or kids had to go to hospital no ban, but if a rider was unwell & had to go to hospital gets a 7 day suspension. Doesn't make sense.

52-38... The Aces top three scoring around 30 off 15 rides... Plenty of very fast riding up near the safety fence with riders following around ten yards behind the one in front of them...

thats not what he saying though youve been caught out so take it on the chin

Entitled to what exactly? Used to winning? - definitely, and disappointed when Poole lose in the way they have? Absolutely.

Must of been on the hard shoulder no way would he have gone on the outside

Were they the 3 to go out and practice? I was just saying during the meeting that Batch could return to a top heat leader if only he got out and practiced more. Good on him. I know he's not everyone's cuppa tea but I like him and want him to do well this season

When I spoke to him outside of Foxhall a few weeks back he said he wants to be back in it but for now it’s just not his time, and when my partner laughed and said Zmarzlik needs someone to push him he replied “let him have this moment” (in polish with my partner) 😂

Everything that is wrong with this forum is on this thread. Plymouth win and beat a very good Poole side and all people can do is moan about the number one not being there or something else. you could argue that Lewis Kerr could have easily got up off the track when Plymouth on a 5-1, could argue then in the reruns that cairns didn’t allow any room for Spencer. Nicholls was on a 5-1 and bike gave up, Bowtell was trying just a bit to hard was on a 5-1 and slide off in heat 8. Lawson was his usual great self around the arena and set the track record in heat 1 apart from that it was pretty much nothingness from the rest of the pirates. To be fair i thought Tobias tried hard but the rest were poor which is unlike them normally but seems the norm of late, they will need to improve lots to win the play offs. I don’t think they can make any changes but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did. Plymouth are currently on a roll and the feel good factor around the place is evident with the crowd that are coming and the buzz that is on social media on Facebook etc. Think people just like sniping at Plymouth for the sake off it and it seems to have the opposite effect on what these people want.

Had a £20 treble Monday night and it seems one always lets me down but that is why I always normally just do singles or a double.Just as well the bitcoins are keeping me up as the horses are doing poor as well.

The same old rubbish from you...blah, blah blah...nothing to back it up. Go and spout your negativity elsewhere.
