Well if it's not dusty next week vs Plymouth they will have done well as it's going to be 28 degrees!

Yes, that is true. Bend 3 and 4 looked a lot better after they sorted the hole the size of a kitchen table out! I was by bend 4 and didn't see anyone's bike lift up after that apart from Shanes. But I think he had gone past the point of where the hole was when he crashed for the second time (when Bomber was seeing if he was alright he was pointing to exiting point of bend 4 on the outside).

Definitely not by you! You called him an 'old gating tart' on the previous page.

They did claim it on twitter especially Lakeside and Swindon! Was quite funny

Cos they get banned if they are ill now.

Well all I can go on is what is reported in the media!

Dan Ford in the Echo today said the track was really heavy and had caught Stef out and he couldn't turn the bike. Also said if they didn't do extra track work Poole riders wouldn't have carried on. Also said the track got to a rideable stage. Apparently they were worried about the track before H1.

Nathan Greaves guesting for Stefan Nielsen.

Glad we not riding Sunday this week as I live other side of spur Road, would be a nightmare getting home!

Normally half 6. Lots of spaces in Grandstand vs Birmingham so should be okay. I know Glasgow is a bigger draw but still riding on an off night.

Yes, I have actually.

I was going on Steve's report of King making the only pass.

Cook a gating tart? Lmao. You obviously missed the race when he passed 2 in one move then at Poole. Everyone is a gating tart at Brum it seems apart from King. But that is the track rather than the riders.

Take it this is still happening. With Stef crashing and being injured, Sheffield will need to find a guest. Steve on form tonight for Poole, so interesting to see what he gets tomorrow.

Ah okay. Whilst Poole had that excellent pass on Jason Doyle in playoff SF vs Somerset which put us through! Will always get a good reception at Poole just for that!

Teams not likely to be in playoffs like influencing things though.

Might make difference to finishing top or not! Or even top 2.

He heard you! Did alright in H15. Shame we couldn't keep it within 6, just slipped away at the end. Always going to be an uphill struggle being down to 5 but they did well. Main thing is Stef, hope he not too bad. But doesn't sound nice. Get well soon Stef.

Okay, I saw they were holding a track inspection with the ref so thought there must have been an issue.

Steve, whats wrong with the track? Is it similar to ours on Sunday?

Yeah, Poole never do it and it's really annoying. Common sense really. Even refs tell teams to get a no8 at the track when using r/r.

Oh okay, thanks Neil.

Oh British speedway acc on twitter had him at 4. My point still stands take a no8 when using r/r, for this very reason. It's why i hate r/r.

4 according to twitter

Is IRR still a thing? Should have had a no8 there. Get well soon Stef and Grobauer
