Just hope Puk (and everyone else) comes out of this nonsense in one piece.

Do you really believe people's dislike of Ford is because of Poole's success? Really?

Rose and Owen injured, Bailey enrolling at his new college. No idea on Stokes or Mallett (work?) There are threads in the Speedway Discussions section about the future of the EL & PL, there needs to be one on the NL too IMO. Needs some serious thought into how next year will be structured.

Its called a Champions League for a reason, we've never won the top division so that would be even worse than using ringers. If it gets people through the gate then great but its nothing more than a novelty meeting at the end of the day.

And there it is I hope Lynn are nowhere near this pile of poo next year, the whole idea is flawed due to riders representing three or four European teams in the same season.

I think R/R and at least one guest should be in Poole's line up somewhere to truly reflect the state of British speedway currently.

Magic, Milik, Newman and good old Benji it is then

Any news on Lewis Rose?

This should be easy peasy for the Poles.

Looking at Twitter it seems he's been declared unfit by the Danish doctor but doesn't agree with the verdict!

Why no Porsing?

Perry riding for Lakeside in Adam's place apparently.

That's a fair point, and the better performance at Mildenhall on Sunday didn't go unnoticed. Personally I just would have expected a few more competitive scores five months into the season but I appreciate its a long term project which I wish every success.

I'm sure they have improved from the first race to the last in most matches but from meeting to meeting is where we should be seeing the real improvement. Hopefully the scores don't reflect the progress some of these lads are making and it would be nice if the same seven can come to the tapes next year and start to get a bit closer to teams and perhaps win some matches.

It must also raise the question of whether these Scunny lads are actually improving......

Well done to the Young Stars for collecting all six points, and particularly to Lewis Rose for an excellent five ride max against Mildenhall.

Absolutely confident. The PL & EL use many of the same riders, doesn't mean either is propping the other up.

The idea that the PL props up the EL but not vice versa is daft - there are umpteen riders who are on loan to PL clubs from EL clubs for a start, plus several who are really EL riders but use the PL to top up their earnings ie Cook, Barker, King, Stead, Lawson, Josh G, Morris, Klindt, Worrall etc. If riders were made to choose one league or the other I bet the PL would be the one to suffer. That's not to say the EL doesn't have its problems because it of course has many.

Isolated showers according to our local BBC forecast. Hopefully Saddlebow Rd won't get one!

A47 roadworks all gone

Good GP, glad the final wasn't won from the gate. Not Puk's day but good to see Kenneth back in the thick of it.

I bet they wouldn't.

That's a fantastic against the odds win for Berwick.

Great result for Ipswich with the number one not turning up. Imagine how well they'd be doing if he'd kicked on as we all expected.

Why Robson and not Kerr in heat 15?
