That’s given a few fans from Swindon and Lynn a squeaky bum tonight! -

Adding a 1 week extension onto the cut-off date'
Steve Shovlar replied to g13webb's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Judging by post number 4on this thread it seems pretty clear that most think there should be no extention. And rightly so. -

This is a ridiculous thread. Neither team are guarenteed a place in the final. -

I would say the club should have planned better. No excuse this year to not have completed the fixtures on time. The weathers been fine. We are not overloaded with fixtures. There’s not been enough for gods sake! For those that fail to complete, tough! -

We have had a long dry summer. No reason to extend at all. Clubs could have planned better to fit fixtures in gefore panicking as time ran out. Think back to all those weeks when no fixtures were run. The playoff dates should not be moved imo. Clubs should simply plan their fixtures better.- 94 replies

Somerset vs Poole (Final)
Steve Shovlar replied to Crazy robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Absolutely nothing to do with Poole. Just the intransigence of the Lynn promotion to seek a remedy with Somerset. -

Every available date before the cutoff. Lynn management said no to every one. Source is pretty good. -

Kings Lynn have refused all dates Somerset have offered them before the cutoff. If the meeting isn’t run before the cutoff neither team will benefit. Zero points to either team. -

Desperately sad news. Watched him ride on tv recently. RIP. -
Josh or Nicolai to reserve for the playoffs? Can’t be bad.

Let Iversen ride on the billiard table of Kings Lynn with gate and go every week. Lynn fans have been moaning all season about a lack of passing around Saddlebow. Wimborne Road is far far smoother than it was at the start of the season. The day of rain of Sunday made a couple of areas spongy, but to be honest why on earth would we want a billiard table of a track? It’s dirt track racing, not F1. If riders like Iversen moan and whinge about it, keep it as it is for extra home advantage! Don’t make it easier for the away team to ride. Sure a couple of bumps appeared last night but so what?

The racing last night was very mediocre compared to what we have seen at Poole recently. Woryna went to the back when messing up. On another night he would have come through to join his partner for a 5-1. Same goes for Worrall. The track also slickened off later and then passing was at a premium. It can and does produce better racing than we got last night. As for it being all over, far from it. Somerset have big home advantage and as we will see next week, are a serious force on their home patch. The whole Poole team will need to be right on it to keep it as close as last night. No passengers.

Just watched it on tv and we gave away so many points. Kurtz and Jackobsen were terrible. Doubt either will be so poor next time. Certainly not one of the better meetings at Poole this year. Josh said in the meeting and at the press conference that rivers of water were running down the track yesterday and the track was nowhere near as grippy as they wanted it with some spongy areas. Still, a decent crowd for an off race night with the cameras present. And a win to take us to the summit for the time being. Playoffs nailed on and if we don’t finish top, I doubt the team that does end up top will not be picking us in the semis. The team all get on, and a good vibe around the team.

Heard tonight that KL are refusing to go to Somerset on every day they have been offered. Meeting might not run before the cutoff.
