But didn't Woffinden say earlier this season he was only 74% and would step it up when it matters? Errr, perhaps that was a load of BS and he isn't as good as the two others leading him? He could always blame it on returning to the EL.

Bye bye woofy world title is going down the swanny. Why did he chose yellow? Crazy as the inside has been working all night.

As just proved by Toninio.

Doyle misses the gate comes nowhere. Poor meeting in the scheme of things. Gavin has trouble in stringing a lucid sentence together. A big bug. At last a good race in heat 19.

Use the online service from bt if you have bt legitimately. Just log in with user/pass and watch it.

Looks like Woffindens reign as world champion is coming to an end this evening. Needs a miracle to get back into the challenge. Worst GP of the year imo. Perhaps it will liven up at the end.

Doyle showing the rest how to get out of the star consistently. Be a worthy world champ who rides in the UK. Rather him than Hancock. OK here. Reboot everything.

Why should we care? Is he riding for Wolves next year?

There is nothing on this track. Gaters paradise at the mo. You miss the start in the words of Private William Hudson, 'game over, man'!

Ok folks for those that wish to watch this from the youtube hd stream. If you are on apple ipad or iphone, download freevpn from the app store. Open it. Choose east coast usa. Connect. Go to the stream and enjoy in HD and cast it to your tv. Takes two mins and a hd stream. So far the track living up to its reputation. Flat and the inside gates are king.

Got it in one. An injury on a bike. It might look exciting seeing him pull all these weird moves but that is not the way to do it. Its just asking for a crash or injury. Unless he sorts out his riding style, just like Bridger, he will only go so far. And personally I think he has got as far as he is going to go unless he learns to ride a bike correctly.

Absolutely disagree. Far from me to stick up for the Lakeside reack, which I don't like, but it is in a completely different class to the atrocious Leicester track. By atrocious I don't mean by the way it is prepared, but the shape of the track which means the race is over by the second bend. I have been to Leicester 4 times now, and there won't be a fifth whilst that track is in situ. It's a waste of £17 to watch 4-5 seconds of racing per heat. A drag race to the first bend. The thought that when the riders start to head down the back straight of the first lap, the rest of the race is meaningless bar the rare engine failure or fall. Whether or not the club has no money, the one thing that will get fans through the door is the knowledge that they will be entertained with quality racing. The track just does not allow that to happen. The track alterations over the last winter do not seemed to have solved the issue either. If a new promotion is coming in and taking over the running of the speedway, it must be their priority to alter the track shape before the start of next season. If the new tenant does it Helmsley can't say no as it won't cost him. Speculate to accumulate.

Not really a good enough stadium for a GP imo.

Think the final will be Doyle, Hancock, Holder and Zmarzlik.

He will struggle to get a ride. Pretty sure he has been looked at by Polish clubs but the youngsters over there are like rocket ships out of the start and he would be left for dead over the first 20 metres then left chasing shadows.

The playoffs have been the best thing to happen to speedway in many years. Whilst Bv, Poole and Wolves might have kept their crowds up , Swindon and Lakeside would have been also rans and crowds would have dropped at these venues. A team at the top always has big crowds, as Poole have. It runs completely against the trend for BV to get tiny crowds when top of the league. Something is going on here which is seriously wrong. A new stadium, a top of the table team and no crowd. Ridiculous. Put that stadium in Poole and that grandstand would be heaving every week. We would love Wimborne Road be developed into something like BV but the fans still turn up here in our dilapidated stadium. I hope BV get a new promotion this winter. They can't do a worse job that the current people in charge.

Seems to me that most people DID enjoy last nights meeting. Loads of passing and good racing on a well prepared racetrack. Do you remember a few years ago when Kings Lynn had a decent track that used to have passing? Perhaps Buster can have a word with our track man and get a few tips on how to prepare a track where riders can overtake.

Sorry please explain.

Nothing to do with complacency. More to do with riders making a statement.

I don't think that has got anything to do with it. 2.5 million people live in the area. 30,000 got to old trafford, 40,000 got to Etihad. (the other 40,000 that make up old trafford are out of towners) So lets say 110,000 out of 2.5 million. Not many is it. You have the rugby and small football clubs but not everyone likes football. There's a massive opportunity to get just 6000 inside Belle Vue. But when was the last time Belle Vue actually had a promoter who promoted? If they thought the crowd was going to be small why didn't they run a discount promotion? 500 @ £17 is £8500. Not enough to cover anything. 1500 @ £10 is 15000. Plus the Sky money. Posters out stating a discount and to bring a friend etc.

The junior section is further down the main page. Suggest you head over there.

Because, believe it or not, the 8 day rule does not apply to the home team.

Just block the troll. Makes the forum far more pleasureable.

Just watched last nights meeting back on Youtube and have to say it was very entertaining regardless of the score. How can anyone say it was a snooze fest is beyond me. Loads of great racing all evening. Mind you we are spoilt at Poole with a very good racetrack that allows passing off every bend. Have to say I agree about Lambert. He was abysmal last night. Gifted two of his points last night with an ef of Tungate and no Holder in 15. Last night should have been a meeting he would have thrived in. A proper race track with loads of racing lines but he was awol. A young lad should be up for it every meeting. Following him this year Ellis is catching fast. A far better gater, has track craft and is also a youngster. Just needs to learn how to adjust his gear when the track slickens off.

Was superb at Wolves and funnily enough superb at Belle Vue. I for one am more than happy with his contribution. Not everyone is going to be a world champion but Kyle always gives 100% to the cause. Cant understand fans slagging him off.
