There are a few holes in that argument!!!

I think you lose the right to privacy when you put all your troubles on Facebook, strong language and all, available for the whole world to see

decent signing for the Witches...could be a major coup.

I fully expect us to be on the end of a pumping we look poor this season whilst Poole look very strong high 50s low 60s for the pirates unfortunately.

I think that subject was exhausted at the time 🙃

He’ll say he’s better than Kurtz

Can he do any worse than Bangs has up to now? Possibly! But it’s a pretty low bar let’s be honest. Bangs has been utter crap. BUT, I’m not convinced now that Bangs is returning. The rumour was there, and now he’s “ill” for 28 days? Just what kind of illness does he have? If he’s not coming back either by his choice of the promotion/manager, then you’d hope they could come up with a better replacement than someone who has been out of the game for a while. It does give them 28 days though to have a good look around and do a deal with someone if Kennett doesn’t score many/any points I guess.

I suspect his real name is Nicolas Klynovski who is a Russian FSB agent using the cover of pretending to be a speedway rider to send coded messages to the Kremlin which give hourly assessments out of 10, of Britain's ability to defend itself against an invasion

Lets be honest as soon as they got them two youngsters in at 6 and 7 barring injuries it was game over, normally to get one rider who can add four points to his starting average should win you the league let alone two. Throw in Lawson who is one of the top three riders in the league, Zach Cook who is to good now for the championship by far, Kerr who is capable of getting anywhere between 3 and 15 on a standard night, Newman who has ridden above expectations and being blessed in not having Bowes available which has strengthened them. Any team who got them two lads at reserve, so long as the promoter had even a tad bit of ambition was going to win the league baring injuries it's just as well they didn't get Beau Bailey for Bowes in the end as that would have been another possible 8 point rider coming in on 4 starting average.

Agree, I found it baffleing.

Silencer the opposition 🤔👍

Water companies asking not to fill paddling pools to save water 😲 that's Poole's excuse for a dust storm tonight sorted 😜🤣

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. Even so, Kennett is hactually two weeks younger than Danny King. Can't imagine he will appear to be any worse than Hellström-Bängs in terms of on-track effort. He rode at Iwade for Kent Kings against Mildenhall on 10th May, beaten only by James Shane's in the final heat: Eagles: Edward Kennett 14(5), Ben Morley 12(5), Jack Kingston 11+1(5), Connor King 5+2(5), Alex Chadd 5+1(5), Nathan Hargrave 5(5). – 52 Fen Tigers: James Shanes 12(5), Ben Whalley 10(5), Sam Woods 7+1(5), Kenzie Cossey 6+1(5), Patryk Daniszewski 3(5), Max Broadhurst 0(5) – 38 I know this means nothing in terms of how Kennett might perform in the Prem, but at least it shows he's kept fit and is still interested in riding.

If it wasn’t meant to be out there then it wouldn’t be would it. I’ll stay quiet in future whenever there’s any concerns regarding our 1-7. Forgot this was a dictatorship and not a place to have conversations. 🤡

shows the sorry state the sport is in in the country when eddie kennett is returning at the top level.

I wonder what the Witches legend Gavan makes of this signing?

Trust me, I would love it to be a success story,, just like I wanted Crump to be, I love nostalgia and would love to watch a team or meeting of Golden greats. I just don't think it happens very often where someone has been away from the cutting edge competition and made a great success. Also he was already on the slide a fair bit when he last raced at this level, but like you say,, with Scott and Hurry and Danny, it will be like being around old mates. I hope he atleast beats the RS riders regularly. Also as mentioned, not moving for JJ was a big mistake, especially if they already knew things were going south with Bangs

Is it 1st April?

This time, it looks like Leicester has dealt with this whole matter in the right way

Do you really think this is the place to post such things ? Yes I'm aware of a post on social media, but surely that's up to Craig and Facebook, not you putting it out on here 🤔

How is having diagnosed conditions self inflicted? Honestly the older generation on here are nothing but ….. I’ll leave you to fill in the blank but people like you are part of the problem as to why there is such a mental health crisis today. Cookie has his struggles and he has opened up on these in the past. But yet there’s still people like you who come with the old wise crack “ never existed in my day.” Well sorry to break it to you, times change. You unempathetic …..

Expecting a battling and thrilling meeting on a superbly prepared water saturated track against our rivals for the title. Glasgow come as one of the favourites for winning the championship and are stacked with quality riders. Harris loves the wide open spaces of Wimborne Road and as always is a real threat. Howarth is always very quick. Hagon is a top youngster and had a year at Poole. Smith has done many laps around here and Harrison is a battler. Flint can score a few. And then I woke up. 57-33. Dust from heat 3 regardless of track prep. 35c tomorrow.

You’re missing the point. Speedway lives and dies on entertainment; Poole are starving the sport of that while they fill their trophy cabinet. I was vocal about recommending a Poole meeting to two colleagues from Bournemouth last season and unsurprisingly, they haven’t been back. This has absolutely nothing to do with Poole’s support or their annual revenue.

... and all put together within the same 40 point team building limit

On a positive note Vinnie back for the Comets this weekend 😃

Nail on the head Cairn's, Rushden and Scott are the three best English youngsters by a country mile, Hagon has probably found his level alternating between reserve and second string but the other three so long as properly handled should be core England squad members for many years to come once they hit early - mid twenties. All at some point should also all be potential gp riders.

I'm not knocking it Blobby in fact I'm thinking having ad-hoc guests could help the sport out if Belle Vue for instance could get Emil or Jepsen Jensen in say for 3-4 meetings to part cover Bewley crowds you would think would be pretty good to offset the cost.

Dayle Wood has come on massively from a few years ago when he was a wobbly danger to himself and others 👍🏻

The bog standard Tigers response when getting pumped. 😂 Racing is rubbish don’t get this at our place.

Shocking track this!

So might Sam Masters!

Some things are best left off here, the guy may or may not have ongoing problems, but it's up to him and people around him to help sort things out. Speculation on here won't help him or anyone else who maybe going through difficulties

Its like that tv series the prisoner once your in here your never leaving.

It's days like this I miss Lagutaracingfan or whatever he was called - whatever happened to they/them/him 🙃

Eddie Kennett who saw that coming, still hope he does well enough to silence the doubters!!

Do you remember when Rick left it until the last meeting to nudge over a 6 point average to be able to come back the following year from memory he got a 15 point max which I think nudged him up to something like 6.01

I think there is a lot in what you say but s/way riders are different from us mere mortals ,Tai has to come to the decision himself personally I think he will never return to level he was prior to these recent crashes .

Strange scheduling, surely Glasgow would have worked out that Kevin Juhl Pedersen was always going to be missing for the Danish semi-final... Can't see anything but a Poole win and by quite a few giving Glasgow little chance of a bonus point.

Tai's family need to step in and convince him to retire, I love Tai and he's one of my all time favourites but somebody above is trying to tell him something with all of these broken bones and injuries year after year. I'm a believer in fate and the signs from above are telling him to call it a day before it's too late. Tai's got nothing left to prove, Whether you love him or hate him personality wise, He's a multiple World Champion and one of the Best British Riders of all time and nobody can ever take that away from him. Common sense has to prevail instead of chasing something that isn't a reality anymore, The reality is that Tai can't get through a full season anymore and it's just broken bones after broken bones and surgery after surgery with no end in sight.

Go to the SGP 3 on the Friday night in Wroclaw- cracking meeting with the youngsters giving it everything.

You’re starting to sound like Shovlar with your reverse psychology

Me neither it’s crap

Nobody really gains from a one-sided competition. Glasgow (the fans) deserve better obviously it would be great if Cami were to go (he does make some bloody odd calls) but maybe they missed a trick when let Dan Thompson go, should it really have been Harris? I know Harris brings plenty as a Captain beyond points, and can on the odd occasion still match most top championship riders, but Dan is on the up and he now makes Edinburgh a more formidable team too. Just a thought?!*#

Maybe the rules can be fiddled like when Josh Bate's was about 42 and somehow qualified as a rising star.

Belle Vue ran yesterday in 31 degree heat, starting at 12 noon. The track was being watered when we arrived and had clearly been well watered before (probably the previous day as well). They watered every 4 heats, and were often doing a lap giving it a good top-up sprinkling after each 2 heats. The track was perfect, and the meeting was over in 2 hours despite a break when the medics had to tend to Luke Killeen. I know Buxton isn't Belle Vue's level, but with a Sunday/Monday Buxton/Belle Vue option again, I know which one I'd attend in future, and which I wouldn't rush back to.

TBH the lad would probably or hopefully, be in a far better place with his mental health issues if there was far less best guess posts on social media about him.

I hate to think what she thinks of you. 🙄

Good luck with that. Finding someone in the crowd under 23 😅

First Pep Guardiola.... Now this... A nation mourns...
