Narrow Embra win.

Could have gone much further in the sport but for several nasty injuries early in his career, looked quite a talent at 16 as a Star in the PL. Best wishes to him for the future.

Easy, tiger! I'm not talking about the TR, I'm no great fan of that tbh, it's the match scoring system to which I refer. Nothing contrived or fiddled about awarding an away team for a good performance.

The scoring system is by far the best idea British speedway has come up with in years, keeps many more meetings alive to the end. Got to stay IMO, and not at all complicated for a newcomer to grasp in my experience.

Rebels lots, Bandits few.

Spot on. Most of this years problems have been caused by a toilet fixture list.

Well done to the Stags for hitting 40.

If they don't finish in the top eight then the likes of Jonnson, Lindgren & Hampel shouldn't get picks IMO, would prefer to see some fresh faces....THJ & Berntzon if Swedes are required and there are a glut of young Poles. Bjerre should be in the same category if he doesn't get through the challenge. MJJ should be a shoe in, he's a class act.

Agreed - Portwood will never be World Champion but is 500% better than a couple of years ago when I last saw him ride.

Awful crash in heat 1, hope both lads were OK.

Looks like Benji might get the call after all

I think there's a good chance that Ford has got his chequebook out and offered Emil some meetings as Poole's insurance policy should Ward get banned.

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.
