No best interest tho. If Poole dug there heels the BSPA would have had to change the date and poole look spiteful on Sky which is the last thing they need after GP 7pointergate. In the best interest of the sport both sides saw sense without a need to try and gain the moral upper ground. It seems they are leaving it to the odd couple of Poole fans who want to claim that for themselves. As already stated, absolutely nothing to see here.

The question therefore has been answered. You now know why Wolves can't race on Wednesday and on ANY Wednesday. I think most people are aware of that and of course if you weren't you know now. So there would be no need for Wolves to put out a statement confirming the above because it would be pointing out the obvious. Hopefully that closes things from that point.

No statement is needed because we can't use the stadium on a Wednesday. SKY cover most Mondays and Poole haven't always ridden on a Wednesday so of course Poole can ride on a Monday. You are aware aren't you that SKY have been broadcasting on a Monday since the year dot??? So what you want to happen is for Wolves to put out a statement confirming they can't use the stadium on a Wednesday for us not to be 'cheating', have I got that right??? It's the fault of the fixture compiler or SKY or whoever decided Wednesday was a play off date. If a club can't use a stadium on a particular day, who's fault is it?????

No statement is required. Monday and off race night Tuesday are available to Wolves speedway. Wednesday isn't. Nothing to see or make a thing of.

:rofl: That's why I only trust official sites! 2nd in the averages 7.18 as of today. Shame as I'd prefer him at reserve.

Where is this coming from that Masters is at reserve??

that's what the play offs are for. To dream! to quote Starry, dream on Poole massive favourites. Where have you read about Masters?? 2nd in the current averages.

Nah don't think so. :

They are still a false average tho given that half their heats are protected. I don't see why the governing body (Or member) can't calculate their averages with the protected reserve heats (or at least heat 12) taken out to give a much fairer but truer average.

It would seem simple but the choice from bottom 4 is limited. KK seems the logical answer although with AJ's average they could have asked any of the top foreign boys to 'guest' as a 7 pointer.

What on earth are you on about? It costs money to enter amateur meetings , not to attend. It costs me more money than it does to go watch. The point I was making is that no one needs to be starved of lack of speedway in the winter when there is an amateur series taking part. Did you miss that part?

There seems an odd assumption by the governing body that this mystery 7 is set as a standard because Woffy came back on a REAL 7.03 so nobody should be judged any higher..... well except them giving AJ 9.03 last season. Talk about making it up as you go along! Wonder if the mystery 7 is going to stay in place for next season. Could be 6 could be 9 no one knows such is the non transparency of the BSPA.

You can always try get yourself to some winter amateur meetings where it isn't uncommon to get 60 races in a day! Works for me!

You are talking about his opinion as a broadcaster versus his opinions as a team manager/motivator. If he was slating the rules/other teams/ringers/dodgy dealings then he would probably be sacked. He has been critical of things in the past and that's all he needs to do. His role as a broadcaster has little to do with his involvement at Lakeside.

Don't get why some blame the EL for its problems when it's a British league problem. Don't think I could ever walk away from something that has been a huge part of my life. Instead of going 2 or 3 times a week I go once a week now. Probably sounds a huge difference but having bought myself a bike I much prefer doing rather than watching these days. I get more of a buzz being on the track than on the terraces these days. So I guess my passion For the sport hasn't changed, just the way I support maybe has. Still feel the same passion for my team and hope that the EL is made much stronger as I believe it will entice more people back. But walking away? Never!

Good attempt by Shovlar to try put a good spin on it, and failed as expected. The only recorded 6.34 average was by Shov, so stands for nothing. Not even the BSPA records from 2007 recognise it by omitting it for a reason.

Troll off. I go watch speedway every week so yet another who has no idea what they are talking about.

I have to say Kelvin has been remarkably unbiased when discussions or meetings involving Lakeside are concerned. Ultra professional. I don't see anything changing.

I'd be happy to pay £20+ to see a proper elite league yes. You have to pay for better standard.

Shush, I'm trying to decide which colour slacks go with my boob tube.

I'm not a promoter so no. However I'd pay more entrance to watch them if that answers the question. It's no coincidence that crowds are down with the ever decreasing dwindling of the EL. Crowds have been reported up when Woffy has been in town so yes I believe crowds will improve. According to SS Tai is on 9.17, which is lower than Doyle 10.15, AJ 9.34, Iversen 9.22.

Starke has had scores of 8 and 6 at Monmore whilst Newman scored well last time as he usually does. Starke would be a decent replacement and on a par.

Emil should be on a 7 no more if we use the Lindback example.

Team building rules may be different for next year but haven't been set yet. Plus with teams going to proposed 6 man teams there is likely to be different rules.
