No not the Euro meeting If that was the case then fair enough. It's a good general point about having riders there though, people don't want guests and R/R where it can be avoided.

Schedule the meeting for a different date perhaps?

Probably taking shelter from the dust somewhere......

That's quite an accusation.

I think it will be a two point win either way and consequently Poole will go through, just.

Personally I'd always prefer a couple more senior races over half a dozen junior ones, but each to their own.

*minimum of 6 minutes. Anybody would think you didn't want Wednesday to win I think we all accept that refereeing is inconsistent, especially at lower levels, but that shouldn't take away from a fabulous tie. Proper footballing theatre.

Going by the car parks I'd have said there was 1k plus but if you stood and counted them I won't argue Sad to see Iversen and Andersen struggling so much.

Football, bloody hell......

Pretty ordinary racing as per. Ben Cook certainly has something about him, Basso and Hagon also improved as the evening went on. Lawson a big miss for Lynn this season. Klindt great when he gates. KK very impressive not just in front but also looking to team ride with Jakobsen. And I'm just not convinced that Jason Edwards is suited to the Lynn track.

I'll do it if you like. Been a while though, last time wasn't even on a smart phone

I suspect its going to be a case of which teams don't win at Brum this season rather than which teams do.

Redcar did far better than I expected but one wonders if they've thrown the tie away in the last two heats tonight.

I would suggest our youngsters getting experience abroad is anything but pointless.

Hurting your own team wasn't the angle I was coming from really, more the integrity thing. Although I appreciate that ship has long, long since sailed.

P'boro have a good chance of winning this with their top four all very proficient around Lynn. If Cook can get a few I'd fancy them. Cos we aren't very good either.

The R/R's put this tie heavily in Poole's favour IMO which is a shame as it could/would have been very close with two full teams. As an aside if a team in one semi can use a guest from a team in the other semi that'd be laughable and quite ridiculous. Although seeing as it's happened already in a three team group I wouldn't be surprised.

Is Sam Hulk's lad?

It's one that has always puzzled me to be honest. Not sure you can be unfit one night and fit the next. Good old British Speedway.

Yep, it's still amusing me now when I see it on the Premiership page Weather looks decent for Thursday.

Fair play to him and them for the statement but let's see if it really is a 'one off'. I suspect not.

There's a bigger picture than that though. Looks awful that we don't have priority over riders on our designated race night. And it means more bloody guests

Good news.

He's not 16 until August AFAIK.
