Happened to Poole at Redcar a few weeks ago. 8 up heat 11 to lose by 8. Shocking.

Now THAT is what I call a collapse! Must have Been a high drama thriller.

A shame for Lawson who has had a good season. If he is number one they can cover with a guest. Barker the obvious choice.

With the big rise in covid cases it is a high possibility of an October lockdown. Might not be any playoffs. This government is absolutely hopeless in everything it does or doesn’t do.

Lawson might be missing. R/R or guest?

Just been announced bikes have been retrieved.

Richard Lawson has taken a fall at Monmore tonight and Nigel Pearson on Eurosport he has a shoulder injury.

I think we all know who will win it this year as well. Lublin have done remarkably well to make the final. Yes it’s all over for Gorzow. But Wroclaw will win both legs of the final.

Great ride by Woffinden.

Bewley completely wrecked what was a guarenteed Doyle exclusion. The reason why the ref put on the red light so quickly was to exclude Doyle. All Bewley had to do was stand there waiving his arms and Doyle would have been out. Bewley trying to clear the track shows he thought Doyle was not at fault and put doubt straight in the refs mind. Then he is looking for a reason to keep Doyle in the race. Stupid of Bewley. Needs to learn to play the game. Rolls reversed and Doyle would be shouting from the rooftops.

Great race.

Laguta got his thoughts elsewhere. Poor for his team.

Doyle should have been out very naive of Bewley. Should have stood up and waived his arms about. Trying to clear track makes easy decision for ref.

Didn’t see the ref put a foot wrong and Lublin deserved their fine win and will be in the final. Too much for returning riders. Well done Lublin.

Sad news has just reached us of the very sudden passing of Bob Cole, a lifetime speedway fan and a regular contributor on this forum. I chatted with Bob on Friday night and he seemed his usual self. Even posted on here after the meeting. He was very well known as a speedway fan first and foremost, and then as a Pirates fan. Sponsored riders in the past. There is some chat on the Poole thread but better to open it up to a wider audience. R.I.P Bob.

RIP Bob. You will be hugely missed.

I was chatting to him on Friday night and he seemed fine and his usual self. I have known him for 30 years. This is a terrible shock. A very knowledgable and passionate speedway fan. Will be hugely missed. R.I.P. Bob.

Already on the Poole track from Edinburgh. No clay in it though so the clay had to be mixed in and then the top surface of the old track removed and the new surface applied. Track was much better.

He is in great form for Poole, but mysteriously poor for Belle Vue.

Chance for Glasgow fans to see Nowak live in action right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxmLT3z81ec

Pirates next week. We are coming for the points…..

I think there’s a good chance of someone coming in but any riders should be on points money only. Stick a rider on a guarantee and there’s no incentive for them to score. They get paid regardless.

They should have watered after heat 8. Not sure why they didn’t but left it until heat 11.

A long way to go for a thumping, so we’ll done you for coming so far to support your team. Always good to hear and see away support.
