£20 at Wolves as is the usual price for a play off final. £2 more than usual.

In case some of you don't know wolves have raced in a play off final before and fitted a crowd in before. All stadiums have a capacity, nothing any promotion can do if more people turn up than they can fit in. Be there early if you want to get in, otherwise nothing new here to see.

Conveniently skirting the subject and no well done to wolves on the thread says it all.

sadly not. Post of the year.

Let's face it if riders adhere to the rules we could cut out some dodgy refereeing decisions. Interpretation of the rule will always be a contentious issue as we all see both sides of an argument however the ref will always have an influence on a meeting but it's ultimately down to the riders for putting themselves in that position!

quite a few of them don't ride top league. That's the only league it affects.

Both our meetings had dodgy decisions I think you mean. Not just last night.

Time will tell then.

Bjarne has been poor at Monmore for quite a while now and his scores this year flatter him somewhat due to being at reserve. Would have not scored more than Tungate last night.

Agreed. Could be a classic!

Where is the link to confirm it's been scrapped. I have read nothing but positive reports so far from the promoters.

Can see it being close at both venues. Belle Vue has held us tight in both meetings at Monmore winning the B comfortably. A 12 point 1st leg lead would be a miracle.

They can use their EDR averages for draft order picks. Makes way more sense. Have a feeling that it will only be one EDR next year tho if we go to 6 man teams.

Typical PZM thinking they own speedway. This will never happen, rider power will see to that. What a disgraceful thing for them to even consider. Talk about trying to kill off all the other countries league racing besides the top 2 of them and Sweden. Utter disgrace.

He does What he always does, runs and hides. Like most sore losers. No surprise tho. If Poole had won he would be here gloating and insulting like usual.

True. That was my thinking too!

The Aces have owned us home and away so start as massive favourites. Think it will be close on Monday and any win will be a bonus but I'd like at least 6 points. Then it's all down to the 2nd leg. Aces for me tho, best team all season long.

And crowds looked good at both venues. The play offs always bring out the crowds.

And? He was good enough to be selected which was my point.

Well done to the Aces, predictable result. See you in the final favourites!

the Polish world cup star you mean. I agree. Freddie had a year out from the EL and he went backwards without it. Freddie is nailed on coming back next season I'd imagine.

Kyle is a great honest rider. Every team would want a Kyle in their team. PL averages however need to be dropped next year for EDR riders. They all have EL averages that can be converted for draft draw list assuming that these will continental with the rumoured 6 man teams happening next season. You did your team proud Kyle.

yes he is. Bjarne has been pants as a heat leader. the last 3 heats all won off 2 and 4. 5 of the last 7 heats won off 2 and 4. your lack of speedway knowledge is shocking. Pure speculation, nothing more. like the ref was on your side last week. Good summary, 100% agree. Can't see anything past and aces win. If tonight was ref influenced so was the Poole 1st leg. Totally unexpected result so to say I'm happy is an understatement. Lindback you would have to say would likely score more than 2 points that RR produced which would have had a huge bearing on the meeting. Tungate wasn't as good as he usually is however Pedersen wouldn't have got more, he has been dreadful as a leader. If the top 5 had as much passion as the reserves then Poole would have walked that 12 point lead. Think its fair to say the wolves were the better team, think we had luck with pk being in the rerun of 9 but I guess anticipating a rider falling isn't enough to earn a place back in the race. Freddie was immense and Kyle did the business when it matters in heat 12. Onwards to the final. Just waiting for starman2006 (his real name apparently) to give his unbiased opinion on the result. One that won't include the word Idi#t perhaps.

Poole don't fool me. They have been at their strongest when they have been weakened. Forgot the win at lakeside and the point at wolves with a patched up side?? Poole should comfortably defend a 12 point margin. That's to big a job to pull back. wolves are missing star man Jacob Thorssell, huge loss. Bomber will do his best to cover tho. prayingforantonio #prayingforhanshand #prayingforbjarnesknee #prayingpoolegetmullered. oh i don't know, there is a lot of call for paperboys.

Harris for Thorssell is a like for like at Monmore, Tungate for Bjarne is the strengthener. As for Woffy he has been hit and miss. He could score a max or 4 or 5 such is his inconsistency since coming back.
