CVS has always indicated that Adams will be at Wolves for as long as he's connected with the club. Sadly, both prefer to stick with what they know. Pawlicki was a rare "out of the box" move, but the annual shuffling the assets tactic is wearing a tad thin now.

Worrying thing for me is that we have riders who are underperforming, yet are not even under pressure. Peter Adams says theres no point making changes for the sake of it and while there is some truth in that, they need to be seen to be doing something, rather than just putting up with this rubbish.

Another terrible capitulation from Wolves.

And solving world poverty

I notice Pearson says the stadium is packed. In that case well done to the fans on the back straight who've come disguised as grass........

The only way merging the EL and PL would ever work is if it was done on the Premier League's terms, which would be a further weakening of the product. Far too many like to peddle the myth that the Premier League is a well oiled machine and that all of speedway's problems are in the Elite League. Reality is that all three leagues have fundamental flaws which need to be sorted.

Very stop start so far.

A farewell to Cardiff lap from Hancock there??

I think the 2010 track was better in that there was more overtaking for the lead. The dominance of gate 1 has taken the shine off it, but I think it's been decent overall.

The racing hasn't been the best, but not the worst either. The problem is the gates simply allow for advantage when you are on the inside.

Track is rubbish. Gate 4 an absolute graveyard.

Certainly needs more than the annual reshuffling of the assets.

They were pretty bullish in March (although they had to be I guess), but I was certainly never fooled by the bright start. Peter Adams made a quote along the lines of "even when we have a poor season, I always console myself that we're a season closer to getting it right".

Surely Adams and Van Straaten can't still be entertaining thoughts of the top 4 after this disaster.

Nothing has changed with regards to the track preperation. The track on Monday was prepared superbly and should have lent itself to some very good racing. Sadly we are not seeing it. I don't think it's any coincidence that the standard of racing at Monmore has never been the same since the introduction of these silencers. Prior to 2011, it was must see entertainment. We finished bottom in 2008, yet in terms of entertainment, the racing was excellent. With the drop in attendances has cone the drop in atmosphere. I've been inside Monmore Green when the atmosphere for matches with Coventry was raucous. It is now so tame from a Wolves perspective.

I heard one or two boos for him after heat 13.

5 heat winners so far out of 14 tells it's own story. Rubbish yet again from Lindgren.

Show a bit of commitment Lindgren 😠

One positive for us is Tobias looks a real find. Very encouraging tonight.

Lindgren fell asleep there.

Frank Ebdon may have had his faults, but at least he knew how to keep a meeting moving.

Would love to see him back in the GPs, but can't see it.

Pedersen answering his critics there. Cracking meeting

To be fair the Elite League promoters would give anything for a crowd like that.

I can well remember him costing Eastbourne a bonus point against Wolves in 2003 because he'd had a clash with Peter Karlsson earlier in the meeting and then became more interested in gaining his revenge on PK later in the meeting. None of his past crimes however should excuse Hancock's conduct afterwards, nor his petulant statement.
