Fair enough, was referring to the weather this evening. You had much today? Been done to death but we shouldn't be crowding finals into October.

Had crossed my mind too why there is no meeting tonight when the weather is dry. There aren't many weeks left!

Indeed he did, for Newcastle. Some time ago and he's obviously a completely different rider now. That said having not been there for five years isn't going to have things his own way at Owlerton in the final should Sheffield finish the job tomorrow night, that's a long time to have not been to a track and Tigers top four will all fancy beating him. Incidentally I owe @foreverblue an apology, thought Sheffield were in the top flight in 2019 when Robert last rode here but they werent.

Out of interest why does Thursdays not Wednesdays make such a difference to the attendances?

To be fair Doyle is fantastic on the UK tracks if not quite so good in Poland and GP's any more. If we get some big names back next year Robert included it wil be interesting to see who finishes top dog.

And I can totally understand why.

Perhaps he feels he needs a change? Anyway you won't fit him in once you've signed Lambert, Bewley & Fricke.....

My word you're on one at the moment

No idea but it seems they've agreed deals with Harris & Kurtz.

Never put your #2 in heat 15, it very rarely works!

But do they? Just speculation on here. Not sure losing their two (now three) local derbies would do that anyway.

Bearing in mind how effective Wolves have been at Owlerton this year you wonder how significant that final heat 5-1 might be.

Peterborough dropping down makes no sense though.

Biggest club in the Championship so a good move Hope Glasgow follow!

If you like seeing riders turn themselves inside out on every corner.

OK I'll bite......totally hypothetical but assuming you could clone Messrs Lawson, Worrall, King and Kemp I'd love to know which team you'd have beaten into fourth place? For me you'd have finished sixth ahead of Peterboough and stone last had the Panthers not suffered all their injuries. The Cooks would be going to tracks they don't know and every reserve pairing would have Abblit and Kemp (Cook) for breakfast. There'd be a few close home matches and you'd win a couple perhaps but that'd be about it with clatterings in every away match. So not for me Jeff.

Not for me, personally I'd always rather watch an NSS meeting rather than a Monmore one.

I expect while the GP and Polish league is on he (and Bewley) would rather do their supplementary racing in Sweden once a week rather than flying in and out of the UK. The point I was making is that he is an injury replacement an opportunity has arisen because Max Fricke had an awful crash. You can argue the rights and wrongs of our top three not racing here but when they do they should be enjoyed IMO, and I maintain the reason they all don't ride here regularly is because of the way British Speedway has been run over the years. If it was a better, stronger product they would probably be here.

Here's a tip for you, record it and start watching 45-60 minutes after the programme starts, then you can fast forward through all the shoite between the races.

You have serious issues.

But he's only been signed to replace an injured rider? Its not a tactical change. Whatever the rights and wrongs having the world number five in the Play Offs is great for the neutral.

Nail on head I'd say.

I think he's probably ridden there plenty of times, 2019 for a start. Plus those years he did in the second division as a teenager.

Nope, seems like a lawyer got involved and proved that the management committee can't interpret their own rulebook properly. Seeing as they haven't been fit for purpose for years that's hardly a surprise.
