Everyone connecting to Bet365 "£1000 on Sweden NOT to win heat 15" !!

Can see the crigeworthy situation of the Swedes going 6 behind and then drawing level in the next heat with a joker unopposed by the Poles!

Horrible crash - all the best to jarek. Sodding airfence lifting again cant have helped. How Sundstrom wasnt the one excluded is unbelievable!

Well Ritchie certainly showed them! lol Following the chatzone it seemed like we were competitive but not quite good enough and a16 point defeat was possibly a bit harsh as a reflection of the performance. A much better away performance from Rohan - ironically against the strongest top4 in the league. Lets hope we see a few more like it in the rest of the season. Overall we ended up with what we expected -nothing - but with a few positives to hold on to. Well done to the Monarchs. We all know they will be there or thereabouts at the shake up at the end.

Best wishes to Stefan. Good luck to the Witches tonight - come on Ritchie show them what you can do!

youre on top form this week playing down the Monarchs and bigging up the Witches!For once I hope youre predictions are spot on!

Dont expect the Witches to take even a point from this one. Would be delighted to get within 10 but expect it to be loss by about 16. wrong thread - that was Poole last night! wink

shouldve made that trip to Redcar!!

I think Mr Beerhut got it right in an earlier post. Riders 'sign in' for the week. If GB go straight to the final Danny will miss both even though the final diesnt clash. He wont be allowed to ride for the Witches in between. Also dont 2nd and 3rd go to race off? So unless GB or the US finish last both will still be involved past Thursday and Danny and Gino will miss at least the home match.

smooth as a babys bum compared to most recent Poole track preps! winkbound to be a bit of dust but not too bad IMO given the weather

I think it has been a decent match tonight. Some good races. Probably the best Poole track for some time. Has been lines inside and out for those who use their heads. Large vocal crowd creating an atmosphere. Isnt that all the requirement a successful tv match??

To be fair like it or not and like him or not it is the big issue at present. I dont think they have just pandered to him. The questions although not Paxmanesque did address his problems and werent just fawning pap.

checking if still there but more likely he now has 3 adams apples!!

Will be a lucky boy to walk away from that with no real damage. Fingers crossed

Pob you just missed a classic! Well done Kenny B!

I think a relatively simple weighting is needed. Heatleaders plus 20% Second strings minus 20% Using 20 match rolling average means 1% up or down for each match ridden in the relevant position. So you have 3 riders all with raw averages of 6. One is heatleader for all 20 matches so plus 20% Two is second string for all 20 so minus 20% Three is moving between - 10 in each position so no change. 1 becomes 7.2 average 2 becomes 4 8 average 3 remains 6.0 average I think this woukd give an accurate reflection of true ability. No system will be totally 'fair' but almost anything would be better than the current way.

it doesnt really matter if Havvy has been a hypocrite or not. I think we all know that would be the case 90% of the time for the team manager behind.Thats why the decsion is made by an official and why those officials need to make an impartial decision. IMO the score should make no difference in that officials decision either. Its safe or its not full stop.

Utter disgrace yet again!

Poole should be made to go out unoposed for the final heats.

Good on the Cov boys fot for refusing to go out. Should insert the reserves and force another 2 mins just to prove a point too.

Wheres Middlo ? Cant he see the moisture rising! lol

If this continues there is no reason for any match to be called off in any conditions anywhere for the rest of the season.

No way this would continue if it wasnt on TV. Should be stopped now.

early excuse preparation for the LC semis?? lol the joys of the world cup!

Just how small the crowd was at Redcar surprised me. No more than 500 was my guess. I hope it can be worked out as what I saw was what could be a great race track. On Thursday it was very slick and dry but the potential for a multi line exciting racing strip was obvious.
