I wonder if not waiting another race and using Masters as a tactical substitute at Edinburgh will prove to be costly for the bonus point?

Erik Piss?

It seems if his Polish fixture at Opole had been on he would have ridden at Plymouth on Saturday, Opole on Sunday and then Abensberg on Monday. With Opole being called off and then being required to travel to Abensberg for practice (a day earlier on Sunday) it has been mentioned he cannot get an early enough flight for the practice signing on which I believe is 12-12:30pm. There are still some flights bookable from London that arrive in Munich before midday but they may be cutting it a bit fine so I guess the decision was based on that.

Jason only knows one way to race and unfortunately now he is not as quick as he once was he is bound to have more racing incidents. I have watched him race five times this season and only once did he get through the meeting unscathed. Best wishes to him for a speedy recovery following his crash this evening.

Anyone know how BatcheloRRR is doing?

Another Schroecker potentially! I also think Middlo probably gaffed with the TS though going one race too early.

Yes indeed. With only two points needed from Sam for victory it seemed to be a no-brainer.

I live about the same distance from Cardiff as I do Belle Vue. The appeal of Cardiff had clearly declined for many but I carried on going to the end and never missed one. The sub-standard line up and the comical points scoring system was already enough for me to decide I wouldn’t be doing another GP anywhere in a hurry.

It was 12 October 1933.

I have just been reading a 1933 Wembley programme and there was a rider called Mohammed Tella from Abyssinia (Ethiopia and Eritrea today). Mohammed lost both programmed match races against Leopold Killmeyer from Austria!

Geoff 'leggy' Powell had an interesting style!

Rather than make all these novelty changes it is a pity nothing is done to get the best riders lining up!

I guess PS wouldn’t talk about his own incompetence as he has no idea that he is incompetent when it comes to rules and tactics!

Not many have done more for Speedway than Uncle Len. R.I.P.

From my own experience of being in the pits with riders most are naturally focused on doing their own rides and one thing I have discovered when helping riders is how the time between races seems to pass a lot quicker in the pits than it does on the terraces. I doubt many riders would be fully in tune with potential tactical issues during the meeting.

I am completely neutral and I don’t even dislike Poole which admittedly might seem unusual for a non Poole fan. So congratulations to the Pirates and hard luck to the Cheetahs. As most know Schroeck’s failure to use Killeen in heat 12 at Oxford certainly didn’t help. Also throwing Jody Scott in at the deep end didn’t pay off although he will have gained valuable experience for next season. Unfortunately by his own very high standards Scott Nicholls didn’t have a great night either. The Foord, Killeen crash happened just in front of where I was sitting. Foord should have been excluded in my mind although I could understand how someone on the other side of the stadium would not have seen what I saw. With BSN replays (which I have also seen) the ref should have been able to get it right though! In the end though Poole won and Oxford didn’t. Both clubs have had a very good season and have lots to be pleased about and thankful for so well done to both of them and I look forward to attending both legs of the cup final.

Not sure about FB but on the website this is what it says about heat 12. ’Pirates hit back a 5-1 in Heat 12, despite a mighty effort from Scott’ It mentions elsewhere that Killeen was in inspirational form. Obviously not inspirational enough for the Team Manager! 🤔

Your comment only makes any sense if Mark Lemon knew that Ben Cook was going to get injured in heat 10!

Maybe ask Leicester to start the game v Bournemouth a bit earlier? 😄

Tonight’s meeting in Sweden was postponed yesterday so Kurtz and Bewley (and Douglas) have a day off!

Maybe due to the European U19 Championships at Herxheim the following afternoon where Luke Killeen and Ashton Boughen (reserve) are riding? Luke Harrison is also in that meeting so I wonder if he’ll be riding for Scunthorpe at Poole on 2 October?

Yes indeed Arnie and quite easy to accomplish!

Just to clarify this meeting is actually on a Thursday afternoon at 14:00 and not a Saturday as per the title thread. October 3 is a public holiday in Germany.

I wonder if Lemon’s failure to give Mulford his third ride in heat 9 will comeback to haunt him?

Congratulations to Oxford for progressing to the final and well done to Scunthorpe for a battling display which pushed the Cheetahs all the way!
