Glasgow and Edinburgh will have no such decisions to make.🤔😂

Hard riding?..yes.....dirty riding?...not in a million years! Some of us who have seen more sunsets than we would like to admit, back in the day you would get 3 or 4 instances like this in one meeting, however if there was instance of dirty riding, it would certainly kick off either on the track or in the pits, or the victim would have a notepad in the tool box with the culprits name on it...then in twelve months time fans would think "jeez that was a bit uncalled for".

I can’t pretend to be impartial, bandits through and through. But other than being delighted with the result. Rushen is a serious talent, someone needs to help him cut the dirty riding out though. Clearly kicking other riders and in 15 he absolutely tried to bin PK mid bend. Someone with less experience may have been serious hurt. The kid has the talent to be the next British world champion but he needs to cut that crap out.

You obviously think everyone transports around like in Star Trek. Why not ask your teams promotion what they would do if the fixture was at Poole, my guess is they'd do exactly the same. Look at your esteemed fellow fan Mr Shovlar, he moans about clashes when AFCB are playing.

Another cracking Vlog from Dan T.... You really see the unconventional lifestyle these lads lead.. And the costs involved, especially when your van blows up!!!. Interesting he mentioned the need to lose weight, especially for Poland.. He must weigh the size of one of my legs.. Just needs a season of no injuries and he could become a true top level rider, as he definitely has a capability level higher than most... If you haven't seen his Vlogs on YouTube yet, then give them a go... He did say others are now doing the same?... The more exposure for the sport the better....

Just in case you have forgotten, it's Northampton v Ipswich tonight, so get back over on that thread

I never watched one Scotland game with Steve Clarke in charge, he.would struggle to motivate an illegal migrant to apply for benefits such was his lack off motivational skills.

Heat 15 Lee and Betts against PC and Mort .. now that would be decent race around the NSS

I’m thinking Brennan & Musielak will be the first on the team sheet for 27 & I’d be quite happy with that.

Especially changing Fixture to Semi Final of Cup. IMO they thought they would trounce Berwick in their Home Leg,but Lawson’s mystery injury threw a spanner in the works and it backfired on them.

Fair play to Musielak there, rode his nuts off. Track very difficult to pass on but he made one, and nearly a couple of others.

Poole were always at Berwick. It was originally a league match.

It's not looking good for the Foxes now Thomson is in the main body of the team... and the track prep is nothing short of atrocious!

Leaving the prep a bit late... ref is supervising, people walking around with buckets picking stuff up... that doesn't seem normal. Incoming shambles? 🤔

British Speedway does not need our youngsters to gain experience from the best in the world, especially at Will Cairns level. We have a gold medal winning GB Team, that rarely rides in the UK, we have a recent world number 2, and a real contender this year for the title itself before Dan Bewley's accident? and a fairly recent 3 x World Champion, yet the sport has continued to sink lower and lower in this country. We need our riders to be turning up and riding for their contracted teams before chasing personal glory. Assuming you're a Pirate, I don't know why you're so happy to see your club, and cup holders, crash out of the competition thanks to no shows from some of the team members 🤷‍♂️

You have provided video evidence of him kicking Jye and then stated he doesn’t? Are you trying to gaslight everyone?

Good to see Shovlar showing us the video of Rushen kicking out …. He made as much contact with Jye as Jye did when he ‘assaulted’ Rushen ….the way Poole fans are speaking (ban for Jye….. assaulting a minor) really does show a lack of understanding totally

Stupid decision. The game will be over by 7. Open early at kick off and let fans in the bar to watch the match on a big screen. This shows you the promoters who run speedway have no clue 2 short planks springs to mind.

The kind of post too often missing from on here these days. Let's put all our tongues back into our cheeks....

Stars would have more chance with Michael Lee and Terry Betts turning out for them tonight. Two racers who would do well on the racers track that is the NSS . Where last to first is more than doable

The intent was there thou, How many of the other riders have there leg like off the start?

15pt max in Poland tonight I'd f--- him off if not score double figures tomorrow at the throttle jockeys track.

Certainly steps up Poland

Another potential loss. Ben Cook please step up, if you can be arsed.

Here’s the first running of heat ten last night. Cooper Rushen doesn’t kick Etheridge at all, just outgated him and Etheridge falls. All four back fair decision.

https://ipswichwitches.co/witches-star-nicholls-eyes-northampton-repeat/ Kevin Juhl Pedersen in for Bangs.

A local YouTube historian, "A walk with Phil" has produced a video of the site of the old stadium. He has also walked what would have been the old track. Phil, by his own admission, only went to Dudley Wood once but produces many videos of the black country, referencing what used to be on the sites in days gone by. I've enclosed a link, hopefully some Heathens fans and speedway fans in general, might find it worth a look.

It didn't what's the deadline for signing Jenkins and freeing Lasse?

I was shocked when none of the other big clubs picked him up. Barely anyone gets along with Buster hence why he's only got a few Numbers in his book, Birmingham didn't even have a Semi-Professional set up off the track. Happy Musielak in a professional set up is a consistent Heat winner.

What a pro 😂

Was anybody expecting anything different? I suspect even the Lynn fans half expected it also. He was never having another stella year there.

Thats the frustration, the fixture planning in the Championship has left a lot to be desired for a long while now but seems to be getting worse. Thanks, hadn't realised. Again though why would the fixture planners send Poole to Berwick on a Saturday when at least one of their riders would be racing in SGP2 qualifiers? Bonkers.

Brennan really is in a rut., not talking about the track, but his form. I'm guessing his confidence is shot with lower scores than expected week after week.

No Fricke in heat 12 would have been lot better, Cairns instead of Zach Cook.

We will just have to agree to disagree on the merits of our British riders wanting to improve themselves. Of course I am not happy with Poole losing but we were beaten by the better team over the two legs.

They couldn’t get on the track earlier because of the greyhounds, oh hang on they don’t have them there.

Had a play about and changed things now . Thanks IainB

Has he had a good one on his new home circuit yet ?

Just edit your original post and it allows you to edit the title 👍

Cheap budget flight from Newcastle or Edinburgh to Bristol then Falcon coach from airport to Plymouth. If I had to, this would be the first method I would explore.

Extra time and penalties plus cocktail breaks ,8o'clock finish haha

Agree,just a couple of racing incidents nothing out of the ordinary in many meetings.

Rushen had just lost control. If I had been the ref, I would have excluded Rushen then. As for him being a 'minor', he is a big tall young man. He is a future champion, but he needs to calm down a touch.

You see that sometimes in gps as well, riders put the leg out to maintain balance and control.

Fricke kvech and cook should stop us hitting 60 tonight but still be a comfortable victory 56-34

Well we will have to disagree, I know what I heard and witnessed. I have been watching speedway since 1972 and I was very disappointed with the attitude shown on both occasions.

Should imagine the rule makers will be summoning Etheridge to explain himself. Throwing a punch at a minor carries a severe penalty.

Nicholls is having a great season. So too is Kye. It was a good meeting and it's amazing what they have done down there at Plymouth. The promotion have really pushed speedway and created something to boast about. From tiny acorns etc.

Some encouraging signs for Poole?...

Always nice too see the Scottish clubs do well and I include Berwick’s performance also. Now I’ve got the Praise for the Monarchs off my chest I’m away for a lie down.
