Because Speedway teams make money out of the play offs the sort of money that keeps clubs open . There are many other reasons but if it keeps speedway teams alive then it's easy to see why it's justified Unless the Business is ran well then you won't be able watch any sport .

Been already said there is so much sport on tv these days there is no need for any casual fan of any sport to leave the house . But for some reason it's only in Speedway fan that the casual fan that never go's because it's on tv .

Cook and Kennett were available this year but were never picked unlike last year . All course it matters who the managr is as it good to make the final rather than getting beat by the USA and Latvia .

Great point .

Of course it has we got a manager who done a whole lot better .. Last year you told us that no one could do a better job but the fact is they did .

What coming 4th rather than getting stuffed by the US and Latvia like Middlo did ...?

No the year before and the year before under Middlo we got no where near the final ..you were told we could do better and we did because Middlo was useless .

We were 7th last year and 4th this year . The fact that we got a low does shows a lot it shows that we got into a final to be able so rather Middlo's garbage effort last year

Not all about that .. Speedway World cup would be no more if everyone decided to put out fast track riders in meetings . teams have to show the world cup respect rather than using it as a training ground Come on Steve you not allowed to say you enjoy any El match

Have the Czechs etc got a Young World Champion ? When I looked at there line up one of there riders was A Dryml

Don't agree ..in sport you got give yourself the best possible chance . If had gone with your attitude we would have got beat last week rather than getting a great win .

Sorry what is the us plan ? of Course there was improvement as we got into the final for the first time in years ....not hard to figure out that 4th is a lot better than 7th

So what is your point then ? The Bottom line is given the choice the Us would have picked there best side the same as team GB .So the us were not looking forward at all

Not anti Poole ..People said even with this line up we could do better and we did the fact is with Middlo in charge with started coming behind the us and Latvia .

Sorry who did the Us leave out to give Ruml a go ?

I thought he pick the best side and got are best placing in years .. Nothing embarrassing about that .

First of all I like Frigbo's post for the Fact that Tai wanted changes to suit him . Saying that I am still in favour of one or two nights for the El . Talking to the stadium oweners about race nights about the number of matches is something you have to do every season and sure thou there would be less matches for rent, we already have teams like Wolves and Cov already using the stadium for other matches while others like Kl own there own . As for the others what are they going to do kick them out ? rather that have 10 nights rent a season and even more if you run Nl etc . As for number 1's missing there could be rr or job shares etc it's not impossible at all . Also what else do stadiums do on Mondays nights ? I don't remember anything at Swindon so yet again I real can't see that as a problem . I may be wrong I never seen any other sport move forward because they got rid of the best people in the sport . Are say it again the only way forward is to some how get more people to watch the sport not keep cutting the costs to lower the standard so more fans walk away ,that plan been in place for the last 25 years

There is a protest from the Poles about the SEC ..do keep up .

What part is clueless ? the meeting was average ( it was ) the crowd was poor( it was) not lot of people watch Pl matches( that's true ) and people like watching top riders yet again true . We all know that any pl match will be bigged up to better than it is and the El visa versa that is cast in stone now .. look forward to your return

Unless we try we won't know ...The one thing that is certain the crowds have dropped as the standard has so if we just keep doing that year after year it will kill the sport off very slowly . Time for people in the sport to be brave .

Move on ? then you suggest a idea from 1965 A big league has been tried it never worked and never will . As for Pl standard how on earth would bring the fans back in ? as the crowds are poor in that league . You might not like fans want to see the big names and that will never change ....the thing that drives fans away is the lower standard of rider .

Any Basketball games going on at the weekend ?

Wish you were

Why ? yet another average meeting bigged up to be one of the greatest meetings of all time because it was in the PL .The fact that the crowd looked up 250 shows that people do want watch top riders no matter what the racing is like .

What about putting a side together that was the best in the land .
