Fair play to all of you who have made that trip, a proper schlep if ever there was one for a Monday night, home about 3am no doubt, hope it proves a worthwhile one for you, anything within 6 points will keep it interesting.

What about the odds on a ban before the night's out, must be worth a punt.

Too true Colin, only 2 riders out of 14 that could be considered anything like household speedway names, both at opposite ends of their respective careers, although if NKI had been fit that would have made it 3. We could still get 2 well contested meetings though, that's the main thing, some decent racing to tide us over through the long close season.

Talk it up all you want mate but we all know it's gone through the wardrobe now.

As gutted as I was at the Aces not making the final I'm glad we are not now any part of it, not sour grapes but just feeling we have dodged a bullet by not being linked with this farce that is unfolding. It's no wonder everyone thinks speedway fans are weirdos , we are..

Good old beeb, ' Scottish rider Peter Craven'. still, at least they gave Tai a mention.

What great interviews Tai gave there, considering the turmoil he's had tonight he just came across as so cool headed, determined to carry on again next year and the year after that, etc etc. Been a very entertaining GP season, probably more quality meetings than usual with only a couple of duffers, here's hoping Rob Lambert gets a go next year, maybe Max Fricke too, they have both come on leaps and bounds this year and I think they could hold their own in the company they will have if selected.

Right, time to resume normal service.. Hey Shovvy, Gav just pm'd me to say he thinks you're an absolute to$$er................

Respect to the 3 other riders in that final, especially Artem, the gave him the victory ride, fair play and it proves how popular he is amongst the riders.

Well done Tai, Britains greatest, you beauty

Well done dirty Fred, decent season.

Get real, there's not a chance they will keep the peace until Monday, I predict full on war of words by tomorrow lunch time.

It won't last, it can't can it, surely not. You be back in combat before the night's out.

So do I,

Correct, the GP series is good for the sport imo. This is nailbiting stuff, come on Artem, give us some hope fella.

Hardly, I would love him to do it but if he loses it then it's down to his mistake in ht11, no question.

Do the right thing ref. To$$er.

Come on Nicki, I've always liked you, honestly.......

Drama or what, it's like watching a film.

What an opening heat, just shows a decent track can be good from the off.

Yep, bit like Sky having us believe there was no football before the Premier League, just airbrush it all away. Come on Tai, bring it home lad..

On quiet reflection it was a brilliant spectacle of a match, it had everything, sadly the injuries but it all added to the drama, well done Poole on a great result and well done Chris Harris, what a guy.

I don't think he could do anything about Bomber, momentum was in his favour and Doyle just became a passenger, had Harris been able to strike earlier in the race the outcome may have been different but there was just no time for Doyle to recover, brilliant ride from Harris, one of the all time great passing manoeuvres.

Garry May very magnanimous in defeat, no complaints.
