TheReturn

I was always against this, it was done years and years ago to save the then British League and all that happened was the then National League clubs were shafted. But these days there is very little difference in league quality it could just work.

Aah, you're embarking on my favourite sport Roundabout, Poole fan baiting.. especially they the gullible bite so easily

Yeah of course you have!

Oh I echo this. Some of his throttle control to take seemingly impossible inside manoeuvres at Station Road were a joy to watch.

Any news on the injured riders?

Sadly this Holder / Kings Lynn mess is nothing new for the sport. I remember watching heat after heat of 5-0 for Long Eaton when Dave Jessup led a walkout of Mildenhall riders at Station Road. The Midlenhall Juniors though showed they had balls and did ride the second half to their credit. Rider safety must come first, always, but rider tantrums should never be tolerated. Maybe the sport needs to involve experienced former riders to be independent track adjudicators at every meeting... although adds more costs.

Fair enough then I take it back. Just looked like they were standing there looking at a stricken rider for a long time from the images shown.

I have seen far worse.... usually when BT or Sky were at Poole!

So Rosco said there is no overtaking at this track.... made yourself look a bit silly there Rosco.

The man is clueless, but someone he's got a reputation of being knowledgeable.

You know what, I was thinking the same just as the broadcast start when he was being interviewed. The bubbly laughing Rosco is long gone. Hopefully not the case, I like Rosco he is a character the sport needs compared to some of the other bland managers

BT sport are doing a fine job, but come on, seriously is there nobody better to work with Kelvin than that guy they use now. Woeful commentator, shown again tonight, every race is a 'big race' every win is a 'big three points'. Talking about Kyle Howarth being hurt in a crash... imagine being his family watching the BT Sport coverage tonight and now panicking perhaps.

Agreed, this is what the problem is, not dirty riding.

Don't be such a prat to suggest he would fencing anyone. Clearly he is not perhaps spatially aware but I don't believe any of those moves were deliberate. Accidents happen. One question for Leicester though. Why are all the track staff standing there looking at Pawel laying on the track, I counted at least half dozen at one point. FFS give the rider and the ambulance staff space you moronic ghouls.

But he chose to turn his back on Team GB, so he wasn't and we didn't.

It wasn't me saying this.... But I of course fully endorse these comments. I missed the final but just watched the race off and it was like he was the Team USA press officer touting for jobs for them.

Easier said than done, off top of my head these are all needed... - A decent track shape conducive for racing - A well prepared track - Teams with riders of similar levels? Not something easy to create across all tracks and teams. To be fair, change can take time.

Bt Sport coverage is pretty good. Only thing to improve is the commentator who spends every race screaming rather than actually commentating.

He shouldn't have to ride here if he doesn't want to, but all riders who used British speedway to become the riders they are should 'want' to ride here.

I just found this interview with Woffinden, which for balance I want to share. Most of you will be aware of it, but I wasn't and this puts things into a different perspective. The only thing I would add though, Woffinden's motives were right in organising the fitness stuff, but it's worth mentioning he is not the team manager, so maybe he should have planned it alongside Rosco (it's not clear if he did). Also did he arrange it on a day and time that worked for all riders? It sounds like he was right in what he tried to do, but maybe went about it the wrong way?

Some people only want to be surrounded by sycophants.... perhaps that's Tai's issue?

He shows his unprofessionalism with all the others... but this I think many of us kind of assumed, but I am surprised he vocalised it.

What we he actually saying though?

What had he actually said last night?

aah that explains it. I had looked earlier and I couldn't see what he had done wrong.
