So they need a guest fir the first leg only. Surely there's a rider out there who could do a job. Harris?

Absolutely. Great news he is fit to ride.

If Lakeside go with r/r they are waiving the white flag before a wheel has turned.

I walk away from speedway every week. Across the car park, into my van and then home.

Spoke to him briefly at Belle Vue.A nice guy. Told him I watched him do interviews on dodgy illegal streams. He said thousands do.

I think he should do the qualifiers next year and come back through the gp challenge. Not sure he is still as brilliant as many think. Certainly a very good rider but he didnt really challenge in the sec. I know I am in the minority here with that view.

Better to go with your own assets than guests any day but I think Guests would be more tuned in to the Poole and Monmore track than a rider who hasn't been here for nearly a decade. But if we had booked Harris at Monmore we would be accused of using a rider better than Hans around there. A no win situation. I believe whoever wins this semi will lift the title.

Why do the sgpnseries use Prague as the czech gp when they have this track to use? Far better than Prague. Adam Ellisvwhen interviewed said he loved the track and was keen to come back.

Of course it's not. But they have to slag off Poole somehow regardless of us losing our captain and second heat leader. Some on here think Lindbacks going to go through the card but he hasn't ridden here for yonks so the chances of him doing better than a guest are slim at best.

I have been told from a very reliable source his average was altered from 6.34 from 11 meetings to 7.

I though heat 14 changedvthe complexion of this ties a terrible crash and quite amazing both walked away from it though they really didn't have the time to recover, giving a 5-1 to gorzow. Think the final is still on a knife edge. Gora thought they had done enough but came up short.

The 6.34 was from his time at Belle Vue. The bspa have taken the 6.34 from 11 meetings. Some bv fan will surely have the stats from the time he was with them.

What a stadium and atmosphere. If only British promoters in the 1980's made some right calls this could be Poole v Swindon........ Then I woke up. What a heat!

Its far better than the 3rd place meeting. Extemely tense stuff. But Torun are well on top at the mo.

The mr know filmy online, then the sport link, meczyk.pl, the meeting link, then sportslive7. Standard def but no buffering. There are several hd feeds but they are all buffering. Hope that helps. Far better than any online stream.

His last average was 6.34 from 11 completed meetings. If he had ridden the 12th it would have dropped further. The bspa have taken this last average and increased it to 7. At the same time they fixed those other international riders mentioned at 7. Remember, for all those people here who think Poole are cheating, Matt Ford is not on the mc, he is just a promoter who has to ask the mc if he could bring in Lindback. There is no conspiracy theories, no nothing. The problem is he is so successful people think he is always on the fiddle when the truth is he is so bloody good at his job he leaves others in his wake. If the Lindback signing had been refused, we would probably be stronger with a good guest like Harris at Monmore.

It was re-assessed upwards to 7 from 6.34.

No you wouldn't you don't go anymore. Too busy playing fast freddie. Brum brum brum.....pop.

Don't be so ridiculous and pathetic.

Whats the same now? Andersen is injured!

Of course its not a level playing field. Never has been never will be. There are always the haves and have nots. Every team sport is the same. Premier football. Players want to go tomArsenal or Man City, not Stoke or WBA. Riders want the same. Bigger club, good pay and success. At least speedway keeps things closer with points limit. Every club has to build to the same.

Right guy won it after the first running. Track very poor for over half the meeting. Up the inside the only place to be. Now onto the Polish Playoff Finals.

Nicki last to almost first. Hope he is OK the old Nicki P has shown he is still about. Thought that would have been awarded.

There's no doubt he is a huge talentband destined for the top. I think he will win the u21's this year and go on to have a gp career in the next wave of quality Aussie racers.

I would certainly not want Paul Starke over Kyle in the playoffs. He is irreplaceable. Sure some have a higher average BUT you won't find a more determined rider 110% to the cause than Kyle. Poole through and through and has a never say die attitude. A guest would not be so determined. I for one hope Kyle can take his place in the team, even if he is not 100% fit.
