The whole situation is a result of weak governance, nothing will change until that is sorted.

The ever professional Mr Hunter in full flow.

Not sure it was worth fifteen quid but it was reasonably enjoyable without being edge-of-the-seat stuff. The Poles looked ill at ease for the first few heats but improved as the night went on and probably would have won if the meeting had gone the distance. That said it was encouraging from GB who I thought would struggle but could have been further ahead but for various first bend misfortune. Best wishes to the injured riders particularly Adam Ellis.

We don't all feel like that.

I'm an inexperienced streamer, for those who watch on a smart TV do you use an app to view or the telly's browser? I'm having difficulty with the browser to use the Tigers TV website.

To be honest some of the stuff being written on here about Dale Allitt is pretty unpleasant and uncomfortable to read, of course the frustration is understandable after a dreadful season but do people really need to slag him off day after day?

I read it somewhere else but couldn't remember where, possibly the SGP website? Bizarrely when I googled him that was the first site that came up

I can't believe for a moment that Ty would be given a third opportunity, in fact I'd be surprised if he rides competitively again although I could be wrong. I think the message will have got through loud and clear this year that the side needs some careful planning and fresh faces for 2022, whatever the league or format is.

I'd call it old fart syndrome.

I'm sure you can believe it!

Not sure he did enough meetings but I expect its moot anyway.

Exactly, Bellego in particular is a super rider on decent size tracks and would be a good signing.

But if he could be brought in anyway whats the difference?

The racing was very good, I can understand people's frustration as it was very, very slick and the track being like Monday night would have meant even better racing but it was still a greats nights action. Unfortunately it went a bit awry after the first grade and water, that block of races wasn't great at all with one line but the fence and a slippery mid track but it improved thereafter. Best wishes to the riders who fell.

Can honestly say it didn't bother me in the slightest, I know and accept that Buster and Dale are involved with both clubs. Our team didn't work out this year, theirs did. Hopefully ours will be better next season.

You write some squit on here from time to time but that takes the biscuit, some of the racing last night was top drawer, the track was excellent if perhaps a tiny bit dry. Both meetings served up action worthy of a final.

Well done Panthers, commiserations Belle Vue. Went along tonight and really enjoyed it, makes such a difference when a stadium is full of people. Some of the racing was fantastic after a slowish start.

One burger van and one bar (unless I'm mistaken) for a final when the place is packed, of course the queues are enormous. Not great.

I assumed it was to keep the Morris/Douglas partnership together.

One appeared as I opened this thread

Is there a car park charge at the EoES nowadays?

Didn't expect Leicester to get that many.....all to play for in the second leg.

This thread is full of trolls and wind up merchants unfortunately. Do yourselves a favour and ignore rather than bite.

Can't see Harris making much difference, Poole will win this comfortably over two legs and really ought to win the final too injuries permitting.
