Why in your opinion was Robert wrong to put it on social media?? It's illegal to dispose of waste oil on any land without a permit, should never be kept secret if seen.

It's called, covering their ar$€ because they do not have a permit to use waste oil.

What's the relevance of last night to this meeting??

There will always be backhanded payments. But for me, it's more important that rider's are paid. To make sure rider's are paid correctly and on time is for the BSPA to set up a central bank account. Payment to this account will be via the referee's score chart, then rider's paid accordingly, directly from the BSPA central bank account.

Budgeting is so easy in Speedway but you'll never get Promoters, Rider's and fan's agreeing. Clubs should budget to an average of 55 points paid per meeting, this includes bonus points. Every rider paid by points scored and the whole 1-7 per point money is the same @ £100pp. £100 x 55 points x 2 (home and away meeting) = £11000 ÷ £15 admission (no concessions) = 733 paying adults (21yo and over) Then add as a bonus income children between 0-5 free, 6-16 £5, 17-21 £9.

I genuinely believe this is 1 away fixture the Stars can win if Proctor and Jorgensen are fit. This is Riss's first meeting around the NSS & Worrall isn't 100% fit.

What's to debate. People watched a container of waste oil being tipped on to the track. It is illegal to do without an environmental permit. Do Poole Speedway have the correct permit to tip waste oil to mix with shale?? Poole have admitted it WASN'T a tractor leak and TIPPED ON to bind shale. Again, illegal without a permit.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/manage-waste-on-land-guidance-for-land-managers "Keep hazardous waste to a minimum. Mixing hazardous waste with non-hazardous waste is illegal unless you have a permit covering this." Does Poole have the correct Environmental Permit to mix oil with shale, it is illegal to do so.

Well they did and Poole Keith watched them tip it out from a container. What don't you get about that?

Read Poole Kieth's post above. He clearly stats he watch the oil tipped from a container. It's illegal and Lambert's right to criticise

So, Lambert's tweet is accurate. Surely he deserves an apology from the Poole fans. He's right, it's a disgrace and illegal to contaminate any grounds with oil. His comments are clearly not about the racing on the track but rider's having to use oil catchers.

And totally boring for the spectators.

Batchelor as No1 shows shows his true colours. Wonder who he's gonna blame for that as one thing for certain is it won't be his fault.

No excuses, that's embarrassing

I know some rider's and fan's laughed at it but 2nd start line I thought was a great inclusion. With the tires on that line it was so much easier for the start marshall to line rider's up and for the referee to spot the rider rolling forward or back. I don't get why this has been removed this year.

He is for real and correct. Anywhere in Scotland or deep south of England is remote. Hopefully in 2019 there will be 3-4 of these international fixtures. Glasgow, Belle Vue, Peterborough and Somerset should be the venues.

I think the centre green rule is just for riding the bike. I believe all rider's can get off and push their bikes across. Just for entertainment reasons I'd change the 2mins slightly. 20 meters of the start area is off limits for the 1st minute. 2mins on, so adjustments can be made to the bike, then the last minute is where the start area is opened up to the rider's. To much time is given to kick dirt imo.

You can be on any licence and still represent your country. Josh being on a Polish licence allows him to ride where he likes around Europe without the requirements of a work permit.

Doesn't matter

1. H.Andersen 8.04 2. R.Wells 6.90 3. L.Sundstrom 6.13 4. P.Starke 5.08 5. S.Nicholls 7.22 6. J.Auty 4.59 7. J.Etheridge 4.15 Total 42.11

I think he's making reference to Poole's team average which is actually only 42.26

Barker has already participated in the Premiership this season so would come in on that average which is 6.00

Auty's had 3 meetings with Leicester 2.80 average so far.

I agree that fixtures should (and hopefully will be in 2019) pre planned but VRX only took over in April as the Speedway Great Britain franchise. So finding gaps in the British Speedway schedule is extremely difficult. Especially with most rider's doubling up between the Premiership and Championship. Getting this 1st test match off the ground will be to see if these matches grab the attention of the paying public, especially with the inclusion of the top rider's in the World. Yes it is short notice but absolutely vital for all parties and more so, Speedway Great Britain.

Correct, the BSPA are totally irrelevant to the international fixtures. This fixture has come together from the new owners of Speedway Great Britain, VRX Motorsport (Rob Painter & Vicky Blackwell). The owners and team manager have accepted Robert Lambert's request due to his racing schedule but have made it clear to ALL British rider's that this will be a one off. Unless injured or an exceptional reason, all rider's are to be available for international fixtures. If any rider's fail to accept an international selection a request to the FIM could be made to impose a worldwide suspension.
