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.

Exactly, so why recall Andersen now?? There's no time left in the season to get race fit and improve himself and the team. It's just not logical to bring him back. Maybe Simon ain't the right man but I feel for the team @No7 it should be anyone but Andersen. A backward step this late in the season.

It didn't add anything. Once done a few times it's very very boring. Nothing beats all the bikes on the track at the same time during parade. How about having the both teams reserves start from the tapes. 5 meters back are the No2 & 4's. Another 5 meters back are the No'3 and 5's. 2 meters behind them are the No'1. That'll be entertainment

Exactly, Robert was even team riding when with the Young Stars, always plays his part for the team and that's why he's club captain. I don't think Pearson can't go a single league meeting on BT without mentioning Woffinden.

Doyle, C.Holder, Fricke, Masters, Kurtz, J.Holder

Even Proctor is a better choice than Grajczonek
