Good, no screaming shouting suck-up moron running the coverage... and I don't mean Tatum.

Me too, the way Team Monster have been critical of him since Greg lived up to his COCK name is pathetic, so I hope NP does take that silver. Team Monster can dish out hard racing, but can't take it. I am also pleased that Tai won his crown in Europe for his European fans. I still think it is wrong that for the next few years most European fans wont get an opportunity to see their World Champion being crowned in Europe. I don't begrudge the Aussie GP getting the finale, but I do begrudge the fact they get the finale for the next few seasons.

Who needs advertising provided the riders have a nice stadium to get changed in and ride around.

Oh don't be silly, paying supporters don't matter, did you not know that by now!!!! I jest, I agree, it should be about what the thousands of supporters want, not the 16 riders, but fans are fickle, it's a day out for them more than the quality of racing I suspect.

Amazing, give the riders a 'real' race track and we get speedway RACING not just boring speedway 'riding' like we get at most of the temp tracks.

Pearson making himself look silly again by not knowing the rulebook.

Oh the irony..... Muddlo accusing others of playing loose with the rules. Couldn't have happened to a nicer team.

Sort of missing the point, but then again you usually do. You are being sarcastic, but it might be better racing than we usually get at Cardiff, shame there is no track at Long Eaton any more.

I could not care less if the riders like a nice posh stadium. If the racing is not there then fans will eventually stop going and stop watching. Big stage will soon become a small stage if the quality of the racing is not there. Long Eaton was an awful stadium, but we had a great shape of a race track that produced great racing, which is where I became a fan of speedway RACING. The same with the likes of Peterborough, not a brilliant stadium but always great racing. If the GP is designed to give the riders a big pay day fine, the speedway press should tell us. But if the speedway press truly represent the fans then they should report what the fans want which is great speedway RACING as opposed to speedway riding in a nice stadium. As for the top 3, well team Monster have shown all season that the likes of HanCOCK and Woffinden are like one voice, neither will rock the boat with each other, they all stick together like glue, their words against Niki another example of that.

Anyone but Poole.... come on Belle Vue.

What a crap night of racing... again on a temp track. Oh well, Mr Rising will tell us it's ok because the nice stadium is all that matters.

If it is true then don't expect Poole fans to do anything other than defend Poole's actions, even if the above is true. Remember with all the scrapes Ward got himself into, most Poole fans somehow found a way to defend the indefensible.

Not if it is marketed right, I dunno, call it the 'super cup' and the winners get big money (get Sky to stump up) then everyone will be going for it! Qualification is top four in the league.

Yes scrap them. Said it all along, a season long campaign should not be decided by the lottery of a couple of meetings at the end of the season. It means the team that worked the hardest all season long will not necessarily be rewarded, especially if one of the play off teams cheats to manipulate better riders for those final meetings.

For all the Poole fans, perhaps you should adapt the Millwall chant... "No one likes us, We don't care"

You are kidding me right? Funny how they only cheered when Harris fell! I have seen some amazing excuses on here to excuse the bad behaviour of Poole club/riders/fans on the forum, but this one is the best yet. You must be either a) naïve. stupid. c) think we are all stupid? Yes it does. But then again only the stupid morons would fail to see that.

Cheering at an engine failure is fine, cheering when a rider goes down is not. A lot of Poole fans should feel very ashamed today, but I am quite sure they will make excuses for their actions, after all that is what Poole seem to do. I am not a fan of Coventry, and I don't have a club anymore, so no bitterness here. I am sure most fans are cheering about the advantage, but it does not make it right. Those fans are too stupid to understand that whilst they are cheering the rider may be picking up some form of injury or some expensive repair bill from their simple looking fall. The cheering of falling riders seems far louder at Poole than anywhere else.

Classy Poole fans yet again.... Rarely do you hear such a large number of fans boo an opposition rider going down so loudly than we hear all too often at Poole. Before Poole fans tell me XYZ fans do it too, get your own house in order first. Ht1, clearly a first bend accident, and the moron Poole fans boo Harris. They Cheered when Ellis goes down in ht4 (before waiting to see if he was ok). Now booing Harris the moment he slipped off. I truly hope Belle Vue stuff them in the final. Poole fans year after year show they lack class.

Ermolenko really does not like Niki does he, his punditry views on screen are very much anti Niki in every 50/50 incident.

No reason the Premier League can not be 7-days a week still. For the Elite League (joke name) if going one day a week is to attract the big names, I wonder if Wed or Thu night may be better. The problem with a Monday night is the GP boys would then have to race Sat (GP), Sun (Poland), Mon (UK) and Tue (Sweden).

Lot's of reasons why Sweden is better, why the UK tracks could never compete etc, etc, etc, but very little talk 'ok lets do something about this'. Have the BSPA, clubs actually spoken to the top GP riders and asked the question what would attract them to the UK? Seems more and more that a one-off race night is the way to go to attract the big boys, in theory that would make it easier to negotiate better TV deals too. The fans want the best riders in the UK, the TV companies would too so the promotors need to look at what's needed to make it happen and find solutions for the problems.

Pearson was extra shouty around Greg and Tai during their races on Saturday night (compared to his more toned down version of recent GPs).

I thought the racing last night was pretty good, and after the first four heats track grade the track seemed to have settled down, and the riders were attacking the track throughout the night. We see far worse GPs frequently.

I don't think anyone as suggested wildcards are only given to deserving cases, we all know it is not the case. But it should be the case in my opinion!

And? it's a DISCUSSSION forum. Unless I missed it in the forum rules there is no limit to a thread post count where something remains discussable.
