Fromafar

He was waiting for Pontus to finish his cup of tea.Pontus should have been fined for unsporting conduct IMO ,also some of the Rebel fans were unhappy with his actions (Pontus )as a Monarch could have fell or E/F with would have gave Somerset a win.

Race can be awarded if 2 laps have been completed,and that is what happened last night.

Why

In certain situations you might be right but it is a Refs decision and in last nights case he was correct it was pretty blatant that Aspgren stayed on track to get race stopped .In the situation at Poole last week I also feel the Ref got it right in Frickes case as he had already been passed by BOTH Pirates before Harris knocked him off.Like I say leave it to the Ref.

Every team needs a rider like Derek Sneddon not a superstar but put in superstar performances just when it mattered in so many important rides in vital matches,a real thorn in the side of many teams.All the Best in retirement.

Well said,it's the self interests of Promoters that are ruining the sport.

?

Well done to the Monarchs,both Teams gave their best shot.Personally think Nick Morris needs to think about riding with his brain engage and think about what is going on round about him ,heat 13 being the perfect example there was no way Cook was going to let him ride round him (twice) yet in the last Heat decider he tried the same move after making a decent gate and Cook took him wide again to let Master cut back on the inside.Cook didn't do anything any other rider would do riding a hard first corner but Morris just couldn't see it.Aspregren deserves a fine for laying it down and then staying on the track.Ref done the right thing to award the race.

+half a team.

Monarchs slight favourites IMO.The double points tac rule might decide it,Monarchs might take it easy till after heat11.they have big hitters in the last 3 Heats.

£2 at Armadale which is not exactly a multi storey.

You are correct the EL will never return to the standard of the teams thank once graced the Showground,like you say any of the fans are probably lost to the sport like other tracks are finding,but Pl racing is a good standard if the BSPA can stop messing about with the rules and this doubling-up nonsense which is one effecting the integrity of the sport.As a speedway supporter for many years I find it sad that fans can give up the sport at one of the finest tracks in the country.Wont hold my breath though.

these fans are not speedway supporters IMO .the Elite League is anything but Elite.Watching Benji Compton in full flight must be exciting prospect.(sorry Benji it's not your fault).

Thanks for that piece of information,I will keep it in mind!!

It did.

The pies are back in the freezer!!!

YOUNG Jensen!!!!!!!!

Don't think the stadiums are a big factor in bike sport if you look at other forms such as BSB,Mx the spectators stand in a field to watch the racing,it's the value for money and the daft rules that need to looked at.the sport cannot be taken seriously as a Team sport IMO .

Think they should just forget it and pay the fines might save thePromotions some money in the long run.

Very busy preparing for the Tea Dance.!!!

Edberg won Ht1&2.

No ,decided to ride in EL for Kings Lynn then quit mid season.

There was me thinking they cancelled the dinner /dance as they had arranged Darcy ward as a guest on Sunday,wrong again!!

If Seb decided he was really going to give it ago in Britain next season,why on on earth would he not be on a Berwick shopping list,we will probably be stick with Doolan,Kus and Edberg who will certainly be hard pushed to improve their averages on what I have seen from them this season.Kus done a good job but being at reserve inflated his average Doolan had a-great end to the season which only made up for his poor start and Edberg still has not got over 4pt average riding at reserve.Finding riders that can improve their average is the key and they are hard to come by.IMO Alden could.Certainly no one faster round Shielfield.

Ok.dont know how many times that has happened but I suspect where it has happened that the rider in that position probably missed a couple of GPs due to injuries and was deemed unlucky not to make top 8
