Yep, nothing wrong with the track. Shovlar should get a job on Comedy Central, he's so funny

You mean worse than that, it's Richie

Ok signing for Poole but a bad one for Richie as it rules him out of a Premiership team to the end of the season

But Gaming International have already purchased the £20k worth of cut and shut portacabins. So Swindon has to be going ahead, oh, hang on............ A few grand losses against a few £100k housing profits, hmmmm

Correct we were in with a chance of bronze, so a braver team manager would have gambled. Nobody had Steve Worrall outscoring Cook and Lambert combined. Is Steve Worrall better than Cook? Of course not but it's about taking chances and opportunities and Ellis was our chance and opportunity against 2 riders with 1 point from 6 rides

Hang on, it's not about who's better. It's about Cook and Lambert only scored 1 point from 6 rides between them. It wouldn't of hurt for Ellis to of taken both their rides in the nominated heats as he couldn't of done worse than 0.

Maybe Klindt is doing himself a favour and can see what Poole are using him for so another 3 ride 000 to benefit his average for 2018.

There's a massive difference, everybody knows the GM has to go to an over priced special tuner to be the same as Doyle. Everyone is told all GTR's are the same, including Lindgren's so the expectations are set way higher.

Of course not but we're told the engines are the same so what will happen is if an NL rider can't thrash another NL rider they'll assume the engines a bag of nails when in fact it's just them that is not so good. This will be the same as you move up the leagues. Marcel Gerhard, Suter Racing and Freddie Lindgren have raised the bar of the GTR brand so riders from any level will be expected the highest standards. Reliability is no longer the only expectation.

It is true but Gerhard have made a rod for their own back a little bit. Rider's purchasing these engines ain't just looking for reliability, they're now expecting Freddie Lindgren speed with that reliability.

Is it?!? Garrity gets dropped for an out of form Pole who's only there for training purposes. Not sure that's what the British league needs at all

Oh dear

Why would the promoters want to push our youth to the world stage, it would mean British rider's would demand higher wages. Keep them rubbish then when it comes to the World Cup British rider's will know their demands on wages to not be substantial.

With you with regards to Cook as he should have been way better, at the very least on a par with Worrall which would have seen 3rd place sealed. With regards to Lambert, people keep saying he's got time on his side, no he hasn't. He's 19 and still can't gate, as harsh as it is he's just your average British Speedway double-upper. Chuganov is 17 and way better and nobody has had of him before. If anything was proven last night, we're gonna struggle for many many years for another world class rider to come through.

Ok, I'm done with Tai Woffinden. Making social media all about him again when GB are racing. I will not be supporting him at Cardiff and in the future. I've tried hard to defend him in the past but his attitude during this World Cup has been to much.

Is he?!? He's ripping it up in Poland and Sweden isn't he You can't judge a standard of a rider by Championship speedway

The Aussie's have Average, Average, Average and Average up and coming. Australia have Doyle then nothing. Denmark, Sweden, Australia and GB just have rider's with potential, no real quality here and now.

As I said a few days ago, Russia to qualify. Never in any doubt. People are concerned about the state of Danish Speedway, well, there has to be concern for Australia as Jason Doyle apart they're average.

Not sure I could agree with that, taking the SWC as an example. Holder, Batchelor, Lambert & Cook were fast, whoever missed the gate the track offered nothing to allow them to catch & pass the leading rider. The AFA is now a one line, very slick, follow the leader, gaters track. Riders equipment doesn't even come into it. In terms of league matches where the riders equipment is similar, how many brilliant heat 13s and 15s have we seen?

I was of the same opinion but I'm not so sure now. I'd notice recently that after a speedway meeting the track is striped and reworked for the stockcars and visa versa. So there's actually no reason why different materials can't be used for both sports and I'm guessing that's now what will happen.

Problem is what he wants as chairman has to be agreed by all the other promoters. He can't just say this and that is happening and all the other promoters accept it. Saying all that, any failure to deliver improvement to the sport is a failure of him as chairman

Somerset and Scunthorpe generally deliver good racing

Thing is, these bikes aren't much different to our PL days and we had no problems with the deep stuff back then. The tracks only gone slick since the step back up to the top league. It may be coincidental that we had slick track specialists in the Danish riders in the team. It also may be coincidental that the Dane's finished bottom yesterday because the track was grippy, same as last year's SWC. To get the racing back to it's best at the AFA the change in shale is step 1, just need to make it deeper and tell the rider's if they don't like it to deal with it or get lost. Entertainment has to be the main focus.

Here's the problem, it's not been enjoyable at all in 2017

Have you been to King's Lynn this season or you just turning a blind eye to the obvious?
