Daniel Smith

They said he was unwell, more like a tactical switch to me

After reading all the other comments this one really surprised me Sounds like it was Woffy's fault too. Sounds like a great meeting to watch and pleasing to end up with a draw for the Stars ✊

Absolutely right but I will share mine anyway regarding the Elite League:- All UK tracks to be reworked, leveled, removed of bumps & ruts with plenty of dirt added Removal of rider assets, contracted stays only Review of the EDR system - No'7 Brit U-21 - No'6 any Brit with less than 5 years EL experience Team building back to 42.50 average A move to 2 race night's a week (Monday & Thursday) Foreign assessed riders 5.50 or above, their averages cannot drop below at any time Referees to have access to video technology Like GP's, ready to race in 2mins with visible stop clock That's just a few

To be fair, if he's not able to do his job to the best of his ability he should be signed off. He's clearly feeling depression and you can see that also by his tweets. He could become a danger to other's with his mind clearly not focused on the job

We all know that but Mr Watson is saying that's not the case. So the question is to him that how Poole got a facility if the UK fixture wasn't organised first. Thing is also, I couldn't see anything that says about which fixtures where organised first. It does say that facilities are available if a rider is missing due to their home federation fixtures. Poland isn't Holder's home

Steady has already stated on the Podcast that he has a full time job now so isn't looking to do EL. Wants to concentrate on Sheffield only

Seen that Josh Bates has now got a 4.00 average. If no team changes are forth coming, could you put Josh in the top 5 then use guests for Woryna at reserve who's also on a 4.00??

Correct on both counts It is unfair, I now feel he was only signed as a safe guard that keeps Huckenbeck as No'8. We have no intention of using Jakobsen clearly. Another rule loophole.

I know it's completely within the rules but Jakobsen was signed as one of our top 5. I just think if teams are running squads they should be made to use them if there's no reason for a missing rider.

2nd - 3rd week of May was mentioned

Correct, it was. I meant the Lindgren guest oops. Still the same, the rules don't allow a guest for Holder with clashing fixtures abroad

I've just spent hour of my life reading the regs and it's clear as mud. Poole shouldn't of had a facility (R/R) for Holder. Something sinks here

Stars look to extend Iversen's stay http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/king_s_lynn_stars_in_talks_to_extend_stay_of_niels_kristian_iversen_1_4507043?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

Agreed, another absolute annoyance is the double points for the home side.

I've just been to the toilet, think I have constipation. Can anyone help?

Just read the Stars press release & I'm at a loss as I can't see how we're allowed to run R/R for Schlein I can't see a clash of fixtures for Jakobsen (unless he's racing in Europe somewhere?) so surely he should be in and Huckenbeck for Schlein as our No'8. Surely if a team can run a full 7 they should be made too?

Although the format is shockingly awful I do think the FTR's will learn a lot more about what they need to push on from scoring 0's. Constantly banging in double figure scores from reserve will get them nowhere except false hope.

I wasn't that keen on the Golden Double. I much prefer the standard Tactical Substitute from the tapes i.e. Polish rules. No double bubble at all but I suppose it's not cost affective in the current EL. Isn't it in Poland if you're more than 6 behind you can make the tactical 3 times but not with the same rider?

You should elaborate as your edit makes no sense?

The 3rd episode of the podcast is now live http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/home-straight-speedway-podcast

Just got a message saying "Meeting Organiser Has Cancelled Stream"

It once was but massively now isn't the best racing track, you won't see riders swapping places to often. Stay at home & watch it on the box I say

won't let me view saying I need flash player when I already have it

I'm one of the 5%. The results don't overly matter, winning is just a plus. I've actually become bored with the FTG's, slick track, lack of passing, abysmal atmosphere etc etc. 1 good race a meeting is getting difficult to justify £17

Edited thanks
