I don't do hate, life is far too short

It's the track and club everyone wants to to ride for to be fair.

King's Lynn

Well bugger me Humble pie being eaten here. Well done Stars.

There was me thinking Robert replaced a rider who's season had been finished by injury. To be fair the rule which determines Tarasenko's average is complete bobbins. However the idea that Glasgow will now waltz to the title is daft, he will make them stronger but their shortcomings are still present. It now makes it a three horse race rather than two. And I'd be surprised if they've had to break the bank to get him to ride....he's over here with bikes and a workshop etc already, his racing abroad is now finished and he's probably grateful for the extra meetings.

Assuming the authorities dont find a reason to block this signing aswell, why can he not start for another fortnight?

That's one hell of a signing. Doesn’t solve the issues at reserve but makes the top five very powerful indeed.

I was planning to go tonight (first visit since Laguta's debut) with Lambert v Bewley my main motivation but with all due respect to Jordan Jenkins that Lynn line up is rank. Why no Ben Cook or Iversen or Basso? Throw in afternoon rain and my enthusiasm has pretty much gone unfortunately. A hundred and one things I can spend £22+ on instead.

If there was any doubt before now I think we can safely say that Glasgow really can't ride Poole's track.

Yep the post on X has disappeared. Obviously as error was made, whether they thought he had an average or just forgot the rule it was clearly an mistake and not a case of 'trying to cheat' A shame as I've not seen him ride before.

And this is the problem.....teams with whom Glasgow directly compete having a say on who they can and can't sign.

Plus that's not really like for like.

It's been suggested that he is riding in Denmark on Wednesday so perhaps they are redeclaring for Friday and using R/R tonight and tomorrow.

On the clip provided on Eurosport, you could hear it even though Dave Rowe was commentating. I'm not daft, I understand the context and that it sealed a tight match with Ippo's big guns to come in heat 15.

Hasn't always been, there were 2 pointers for a short time 5 or 6 years ago.

You'll have to excuse skidder, he is frequently prone to gobbledegook. He also seems to be suggesting that Jenkins withdrawal tonight was a fast one so that Wojdylo could have seven rides. As for Boughen, he's a great signing although it's rather harsh on Killeen. If it prevents Poole winning the league though I'm all for it Certainly seems to have put the wind up some of their supporters.

Great heat 15, some really good races later on once the outside line developed. Just a pity it's so grippy low down early on. But still a wonderful speedway track and will be a great loss to the sport.

Absolutely, clear as a bell when Rew went down. Like somebody said it happens everywhere but always seems much louder at Monmore, perhaps it's because they are particularly vociferous or because everyone stands on one straight. Don't like it though, even slide offs can cause injuries.

Five dropped points though, most unusual for him. That's just over an eight and a half point average for that one meeting, on his own track.

And so it begins

He does but I think his team has finished.

I'd have said it's common sense to have teams with Danish riders in visiting during the Danish break and those without when Danish fixtures are on. Its only 8 home league meetings FFS, it shouldn't be hard. Many people are fed up to the back teeth of missing riders who aren't injured, it needs sorting.

And because its average manipulation ie cheating.

Basso and Vissing riding elsewhere? Which means the dreaded R/R and guest. More awful scheduling by whoever does the fixtures. Takes the shine off the meeting unfortunately.

The BSPL have obviously blocked signings after the end of August to save face having been proved wrong by a lawyer last year. Quite why you would want more guests when they are one of the worst things about British Speedway is beyond me. St the very least they need to be restricted to riders from the bottom three sides in each league only.
