Yep I think without that horrible spill at Wolves hed have had a very different season, wouldn't mind betting he is still struggling with the effects of it. I expect he will ride again next year and if he's enjoying it then why not, you're a long time retired.

Hard to know what 'good enough'is really until the new league gets going but the point is we want to see as many of our youngsters over there as possible to see how good they really are. Kemp and Rowe have both regressed which is odd while Flint has very much gone the other way. They all have an affiliation with Polish clubs which will hopefully help their cause.

And hopefully Kemp, Flint, Rowe and Pailin will join him.

It's one of the best in the country, would be a bit silly to judge it on a wet night don't you think.

If Thomas had a long standing commitment elsewhere and this meeting was rearranged then it's not really his fault, Brum management would have known about it when accepting the date

Or maybe not, good work Kasper.

Well done to the Brits on coming third, a good effort and perhaps unexpected result. Brennan was excellent and needs to broaden his horizons beyond the two UK leagues next year to see how far his potential can take him.

Where is Castagna too? All four reserves being guests is farcical.

Racing a bit spaced out so far and Lampart looks like he'll go through the card at a canter.

It looks twice as wide as it was when I was last there too! Which would have been 2009.

I haven't been since Lynn were PL but by all accounts and by what I've seen on YouTube it's a fantastic track too nowadays so probably could have added them to the list too in fairness.

Poole and Manchester are very different areas and demographics so difficult to compare really. Each to their own and I respect your views, but for me the NSS is second to none as a race track with P'boro, Scunny and Redcar next in line. All great shaped tracks with multiple racing lines and most importantly smooth surfaces which riders trust and can race on with confidence.

Riss has been incredibly disappointing this year. If it was up to me I'd find upgrades for him and Barker and keep the others, assuming Mountain still qualifies at number seven.

Jorgensen has had a pretty good season and is the most watchable rider round Lynn, whether you agree with him returning or not it was pretty clear he was coming back. I actually think this team is only one or two changes away from being half decent, performances have been vastly improved once they eventually got to the current septet and changed the TM.

The EoES is as good as anywhere on its day.

No idea what you are banging on about as nobody has said that its shouldn't be Woffy and Bewley at BV in the SoN, the discussion is about Lambert's season, in which incidentally he averaged more than Bewley in Poland without 'easier' rides.

Away win I would imagine.

If you are saying you'd prefer to watch speedway at Poole over Belle Vue I'd suggest you are very much in the minority.

Associated with Manchester and not Salford

I thought he was 8th but the point remains. Been excellent in league racing but the GPs are an unforgiving place if you arent completely on the money. Yep and I cant see any other riders of that ilk returning to these shores any time soon.

Get rid altogether then.

Absolutely Nicol did but I'm struggling to imagine Pailin and particularly Jorgensen not matching what their facilities scored.

Absolutely not, if you are six or more behind at home then tough breast.

Never mind keeping it close, Plymouth should be going to Poole tonight looking into win, they have enough track knowledge and familiarity in their ranks to cause an upset.

Tac sub for a home team again
