Tom Brennan ditched this league a couple of years too early. He should have stayed and dominated for a while, built experience, confidence and some cash to go and tackle Polska.

I hope I am 👍

Doubt Eastbourne will be at the tapes in 2027

Don’t think Vinnie will be in the East of Scotland next year.

Heard we a going for a strong top 4 next season. 1 mature and three younger lions

Time will tell. There will be Thursdays he is up at Sheffield/Manchester in the prem and head straight up north. Then have the other Saturday matches in the Champ.

What a team Newport ended that season with. We stumbled over the line a little after losing Josh at Plymouth.

It doesn’t help young home grown riders either. the ideal scenario would be Glasgow put out a junior team. When Ace went to Redcar and ride for both teams he improved vastly. I know Mario wouldn’t qualify for this, but if we had a team in that league headed by Hodder and Hagon it would have helped them no end.

Think I am in the minority regarding Mario. If he is at Ashfield every other week he will do very well(2H 2A is a must). I’d have a punt on him next year. If you start the year with Mario and a Vinnie Foord type at reserve you’ll do ok.

Yes.

Failure to qualify for the final is squarely on the shoulders of Harris and Flint. Their performance in the first leg was shocking. Phenomenal racing last night. Good luck to the Scorpions.

Loads of entertainment last night. Drama, crazy ref calls and some half decent racing. Love the confidence of Cairns, talented on a bike and the adrenaline was obviously flowing. Keep it coming. Some old school rivalry will help the sport thrive. On to the match itself, did Redcar do well or did Poole make hard work of it? Or both? Expected Poole to hammer the Bears.

From my various sources we have already signed 9 riders, inclusive of 5 heat leaders. I am sure there are more to come 😂

Easy win tonight and on aggregate for the Pirates. Much deserved league win this year coming up.

Take the poker out yer a*se soft lad.

Suggest away.

There should be more action like this. Staged or naturally occurring. it would get more people through the door. Let's not forget, it it a dangerous sport, the stakes are high and emotions run a bit. How things like this don't happen more baffles me. Look at the discussion it has initiated here. Bit of drama, should be more of it. Get some real characters back in the game. Does it matter who was right or wrong? The main thing is no one was hurt. We have been entertained, they have done their jobs.

We will struggle to hit 40 tonight. Even if Hagon and Hodder decide to race . anyone heard of any mysterious breakdowns on the M6 yet?

Self indulgent pish?? Your take on my post is wide of the intended mark. We are spoiled now at Ashfield, Stevie wonder can see that. He can also see that the racing at Armadale is chronic. Ashfield obviously was very poor at one point. No one really complained about that as everyone won here. The previous promotion started the ball rolling with the new track at huge expense in 2010. Massive risk was taken as the football club owned the ground at the time. What do you disagree with in my post? If I was the Edinburgh promotion I wouldn’t be sinking money into something that could be pulled from under my feet. Even when they had the bit of land at J3 earmarked the wanted to put a similar track in it to maintain home track advantage. it is also very obvious when Edinburgh are doing well as you travel through to the west in great numbers. When you aren’t, it’s is the regular good guys that trap.

Think there are two reasons they don’t change it. They don’t own the stadium and that they don’t want to relinquish the home track advantage. The track needs to change to make the product better. The problem would be is that the Edinburgh fans (mostly) will only show up for a winning/successful team.

The racing not improving till the later heats happens everywhere, yes even Ashfield. I have made this point elsewhere, every rider should get two fast laps before the real racing commences. At least just to settle any nerves. It was the best meeting I have seen at Armadale for a long time, even with the high number of fallers. Agree with most of your opinions on riders. Your promotion will give Grahn time the way they done with Kye. Don’t think he’ll ever be that good but there is something there. I also don’t think the promotion are as ruthless as they once were. Cluff is coming on, he has a good guy in the pits with him so that will help. Unfortunately, a lot of riders are looking at their averages for next year. Sam hasn’t come on much this year. Mario has shown in glimpses but there are too few fixtures for any consistency to be gained.

Hang that in the Louvre

What a performance. Nick Morris was phenomenal. Big thanks to Paco. What a complete clown. Show boating twice going round the 3/4 bend then giving it big licks on his celebration lap. Well done KJP for not giving up.

You may call it an agenda, I will call it my opinion. His decisions over the years have been beyond baffling. He has no awareness of how the team should line up against certain teams. Harris at number 3 is insanity IMO. Last night is a perfect example, you either put Harris at 5 to try and negate Kye Thomson and give us a very strong end too the meeting or put a sacrificial lamb (Hausl) in there, let KT run amok and deal with the rest of the team. It’s not a slant on Leon as he has been magnificent this year. Giving up a 5-1 in 13 is scandalous.

Scudded by a guest and calamity Brown again. Difficult enough riding against a decent team but when your number 1 gets outscored by a reserve and the team manager is absolutely clueless it impossible
