  1. They have changed the advert now exchanging the V with a +.
  2. Sound is to do with codec. Flash based so no sound with apple products unless you use a flash browser like Photon browser from app store. Recommended.
  3. Terrible crowd. I know the Poles like league racing but with a lineup like this you would have thought a decent crowd would have turned up instead of deserted stands.
  4. Really looking forward to tomorrow. Forecast could not be better. Lots of driving but hopefully two good meetings. Looked to take in Scunthorpe after Belle Vue but not enough time to get across. Pleased both sides are full strength. Poole's first ever visit to NSS so it might take them a few rides to get the feel for the track. With the weather good and this possibly the biggest league meeting so far at the NSS, lets hope the Belle Vue fans can be assed to turn up for this one. Any bv fan know how ticket sales are going? If this doesn't bring in the crowd nothing will.
  5. Thought Holder was like a rabid dog in the final. Got hold of Zmarzlik and wouldn't let go. Woffy looks a bit rattled on the podium.
  6. Probably the most exciting final since Harris shocked us all at Cardiff. Brilliant.
  7. Great GP. Had some fantastic racing and superb atmosphere. Thought Pearsons head was going to explode in semi final 2 and Final. Deserved winner in Doyle. Well done Chris Holder in making the final and getting on the rostrum. Thank god he wasn't hurt in the first running. Fabulous GP Final.
  8. He is still a rider. He ain't gonna say anything to affect himself.
  9. Hmm I don't think that Daria is very attractive. Looks like Woffinden has lost any advantage he had last year. Certainly back in the pack at the moment.
  10. I see. So if Poland get a very rare event of a world champion you won't care.
  11. Harris and Woffinden beat the two Poles. Trmmr must be so embarrassed.
  12. Because they are simply not good enough to show on Sky. At home the track produces zero proper racing, and away from home they are so weak and dire even Leicester fans don't travel.
  13. The team they have is the cheapest possible seven to see out the season. The money lodged with the bspa means they should get paid. Lets hope theres a buy out in place for 2017. Be a shame after all the hard work to see the land flattened for houses.
  14. Isn't it refreshing that the edr system has worked, improving British riders who would possibly have not even had a chance at a team berth. Next year teamgb will have youngsters in the four. They won't win the swc but they will give their all and not argue over what percentage of the prize money they should get. Ellis and Bates have really benefitted and next season Ellis should be in the SWC with Bates as reserve. Garrity has improved also but just needs to learn to ride a bike with more finesse. He would be a far better rider if he didn't overlock and hang himself off it in untidy angles. With Woffinden having exiled himself its time to say bye bye and bring in the youngsters.
  15. Gavan has had his nose completely knocked out of joint by Ellis's dad so he will never, ever admit young Adam is better than the pair of them. Never in a month of sundays. Lakeside just don't deserve to be in the playoffs. That team was just as bad as the team put out by Leicester at Poole this week.
  16. Didn't you know we are all millionaires down here and drink champagne in the bars of Sandbanks every evening? Just heading over to pick up 'Arry, Jaimie, Louise and family. The good news is the weather is good with a dry day, so no extra stress worrying if meetings are going to be on or not. Leaving Poole at 5.30 am, picking up shaleshifter at 6.15 then heading up to Manchester, in the hope of arriving before 10.30. Should miss any heavy traffic on the road. Then a slow drive down to Leicester for the evening meeting. Loads of time to spare. Hopefully 8 big points and happy days! (wishful thinking)
  17. Too many riders not in form to seriously challenge this season. Reputation made us favourites but when the going gets tough it seems some of our team are happy to collect half a dozen points towards their wages without taking any risk. Too many journeymen. Next year Matt needs to go with a younger lineup of riders with more of an appetite to battle.
  18. Watching the scores over the last few weeks I now believe neither Poole or Belle Vuehave the firepower to counter Wolverhampton. Bringing in Woffinden changes the playing field completely and turns them from semi finalists to favourites for the title. If there are any decent odds available get your money on them. Their home advantage is enough to kill off most challenges, and they have extra fire power now to at least keep it close away from home at the other playoff clubs. I think Matt has missed the opportunity of strengthening up like Wolves have. It is needed and it is unusual for him to let sentiment get in the way of making a move that is required to make a challenge. If Wolves finish top, who will they chose? Get rid of Poole to have an easy final?
  19. Seems harsh but he shouldn't get a wildcard. A year out is a long time and he needs to prove himself. Younger riders with perhaps more appetite about now.
  20. Tungate continues his form from Monday. Scored probably 8-10 more than PK would have scored. To think many Swindon fans wanted him out a few weeks ago.
