Missed it completely. Is it up on youtube to watch?

Was I said earlier, the EL cannot be dictated to be the PL. There must always be a league in the UK that has top riders. Whilst there are not too many at the moment, that could change. Following a PL model would be suicide for EL clubs whose fans want to see the best on offer, even if many stars are missing. Where would progression happen if there was not the opportunity to race against the best in the sport? What would happen to riders with averages over 6? Out of work? Would we all witness heats where riders are trying to finish at the back so they get below 6? Dont laugh it could happen. Swedish Speedway isnt that much stronger than British. Yes they have stronger teams but judging by the crowds they are not packing them in. Watching every Tuesday shows crowds similar or perhaps slightly bigger to here. But the outlay for the riders must be much higher. Take the opportunity to ride el on a fixed night or two per week, perhaps Wednesday and Thursday, could see top stars heading back. Matt Ford is asking fans what they want. More meetings, absolutely. But having a weaker team on nights when Its not an el fixture will not be supported, as has been proved in the past. Call the agm early. Get the rules mapped out well in advance and put them out to the fans to discuss and mull over. Stupid mistakes like the edr could be avoided. Fans of the sport are just as wise as the promoters and can pick up on likely problems, especially as there are many more of us than the couple of dozen promotions.

We absolutely dont want to lose the el. Pl racing is ok but not el. Where would the top riders go who have averages over 6? Holder v Jake Allen? Nki v Skidmore? The bspa rules state that if the el becomes untenable the leagues will merge and then reform with an upper and lower league. Without a top league riders cannot progress meaning no developement of British riders.

Nothing on kodi either. Looks like we are out of luck tonight.

No we are not but Matt Ford is asking for change so that is fairer to all edr riders. Don't critisize Matt Ford for asking fir the change all fans want to see. Lets see it implemented for theB fixtures to givean even playing field.

Thanks for the advice. Just driving up leaving at about 6 am is a real pain on. Bank holiday. 10 hour drive up and back or 50 mins each way on a plane.

As for Murray, is there a more bland, dull and boring sportsman on the planet? Did anyone really care that he lost yesterday? He still got about a million quid. A few Strawberry eaters at Wimbledon and over hype on the bbc, but really no one really cares Murray wins or not.

I am happy for him to win. But still stick to my opinion that what he has done is totally wrong.

Need someone like Milik who is quick out of the gate.mperhaps they can do a swap deal on the loan fee!

Sods law when Poole ride the A fixture it will be a Monday night meeting meaning we will only bring up a handfull. For the bank holiday meeting a few of us are looking into flying up from Southampton to Manchester. How easy would it be to get from Manchester airport to the track? How far is it? Think the B fixture is afternoon meeting meaning we could fly up, watch the meeting then head back to the airport for an evening return.

He was probably too tired to race anyway. Got a hectic day today doing 5 minutes of racing so no point wasting energy. Meeting was pretty good but utterly meaningless. The celebrations by the winners seemed completely over the top for what is no more than a corporate event for invited guests. Still, the riders had to look like it meant something for their sponsors. If it was the speedway FIM best pairs World Final it would have had meaning. It shows what some riders thought whenPepe couldnt be bothered to ride when it mattered.

But clearly his so called injury wasnt enough to stop him riding all his heats last night, so it follows that he was fit to ride tonight. But Rosco had already said he was injured on Thursday and would be out.

When you consider the millions of people that live in the area, they should have crowds far bigger than most other clubs.

You really believe Swindons win tonight was fair and Ok?

Rubbish. If you read the updates it says Tungate was right on the exhaust pipe of the opposition when he ran his last last. Truth is Swindon didnt want him tonight and by riding last night he wrecked Swindons excuse of an injury, and though they still played that card, their hand was seen.

Good its now that that club needs to grow. If attendances were of a similar size to last season there would be cause for concern. Glad its all on the up. Wish the Poole A fixture could be re-arranged.

Out group at Poole all had a bloody good laugh when we discovered this bloke sitting in Front of us was you. Thought you were going to burst into tears as we ripped you apart, then slunk off before the final heat with your head bowed so low it was almost between your legs. Well done Swindon on a well deserved win over Leicester. You fans must be so proud of the way it was done.

Casting aspertions? Saying it as it is more like. You are defending the indefensible. Rosco said Tungate was injured on Thursday. He rode all his rides on Friday. Pretty obvious he isnt injured. Theres none so blind as those that cant see. Feel sorry for Leicester. Totally conned tonight. I saw the light.

What was the crowd size tonight being a Saturday meeting, and how does it compare to the crowds at the old track?

Expected reply from a boring old fart. Truth is your team is a disgrace with this cheating. Rosco on Thursday. "Tungate is injured and out for two weeks". Friday. Tungates takes all his rides for Somerset. Saturday. Swindon still say Tungate is injured. Doyle has six rides. Swindon get paid 8 from Tungates rides. Absolute pure cheating. Disgraceful. And their fans defence of this cheating is staggering.

First of all hope Morris is OK. After that a shameful win imo. Swindon fans should be embarresed by their team cheating in such a way. I see people on here dont care as its not Poole but getting r/r for a perfectly fit rider is a disgrace. Enjoy the hollow victory. By the look of comments on here I am sure you all will regardless of the cheating. Bad luck Leicester. Fiddled out of a victory.

So Swindon fans think it perfectly ok that r/r is being used tonight for a non injured Tungate? If Poole had done this very move I would be embarrased by it. Guess we are more sporting down south. Hey ho.....

I never want to hear a Swindon fan accuse Poole of cheating again after what is going on here. Bunch of hypocrites defending the Undefencable. If it had been Poole doing this the thread would have run to a dozen extra pages by now.

There's a clever and thoughtful reply. So you think its ok to cheat to get the win. Tungate was fine last night. Rosco said he would be out for a couple of weeks on Thursday because of his injury, but miraculously Tungate rode last night! Clearly Rosco forgot to tell him he was injured! So basically you advocate cheating.

Dont have it. Dinner at 7.30pm is last meal of the day. Desperately sad.
