This pointless low level intellectual sparring is what spoils or at least mars the whole Forum. Would you come to blows if this was a speedway chat in a pub?

My apologies but when I looked on the Poole website this morning the page would not open. But both club websites should have it up 36 or even 48 hours in advance - if at all possible. Or at least the most up to date team news.They are selling the match as a leisure activity with seeing and paying for!

So with 36 hours to go, no firm news on teams on either website ( at least not 15 mins ago ) Is this how to whip up a storm and attract news fans? Even some "old" fans can't be bothered when they are treated like this.

Naturally that is so.

From the moment Robert made his National League debut around Saddlebow Road he seemed destined for this. He was, as Webby says, majestic, seeing off the young guns of his own generation and going head to head in superb battling style with the British "veteran" riders. Thank you BT for a stunning broadcast which allowed me to almost "be there" ( as I can no longer attend in person ). That man Bewley is going to share the future with Robert and they will likely form the spearhead of the GB Speedway Team - how lucky we are to look forward to that exciting prospect. With Garrity, Cook and Woffinden WOW!

Pavement pizzas? Sounds likely.

More, Do Away with the "dinosaurs" posts. We will die before too long and that is another admission lost. Soylent Green time? Another poster said " I give it five years" ( from a Bowie song, I know he is a long ago singer already dead, but you might remember him ) I should live for five more years ( fingers crossed ) so I reckon I will see the Death of Speedway - as we know it. Sad, but all down to BSPA mis-management. Leaving all the 15 - 40 years old fans ( 200 per club ) which will hasten the end.

No. I have used my own for several years to save money and allow me to go to more matches overall. I don't collect programmes and so they are useless and usually the info inside is on the club's website anyway.

Often do, especially those who ride for King's Lynn.

I do agree with that part. Armando and Torben should go. We will never know how much the SON lost.

Woffy could not have given more to his country and his sport. I salute him and his efforts at team riding with his "right up there" partner Robert Lambert, the best young rider on show by a long way. Craig Cook proved what a True Brit and a Team Man he is with his comments on the podium,

That was very much the case. IF they do tweak the scoring system in the future, so be it . But Russia were worthy champions under the existing system - and a stronger pair,

Without the support of those Kind, Generous Well Endowed sponsors, ends would never have been met. No profits have been there for a long time.

And we are about to see that happen with Poland having the mother and father of all comebacks, to claim Gold.

Oh Yes! and that 3rd place to win, will likely net them a Magnificent Form Behind Victory to prove that they still rule the speedway world in two man, four man or seven man speedway. When the Final is in Poland, as it should be because they can make it a financial success there. And when they have even more than three GP's in Poland they will have another World Champion.

It's Pan Gone the Down as the press release might say if put out by the BSPA, FIM or any theoretically responsible body

And That's Speedway Folks!

You mean he wasn't last night! How can he call himself a patriot? Whichever underpants he wore last night, were the right ones even if they were from Poole ( an old Xmas present no doubt ) But if we do win the Gold Medal ( or indeed one of any colour ) I do think he should show us which ones proved up to the job!

Woffy. Woffy. Woffy !!! That is all you can say ( or shout out LOUD).

The best I have seen him ride, truly world class. Other than that GP win of course. Well done Smoli!

Because, so we were told, they only sold Two Day tickets and if you live a few hours away and can watch it on TV, why would you add to the expense by staying over. It will be full tomorrow I feel sure.

So the winning trio will be hailed as World Pairs Champions 2018 or Speedway of Nations 2018 Champions? If the former, does the "reserve" get a medal saying World Pairs Team Reserve 2018?

Thank you, that seems reasonable if they can make it work financially in Poland. I will enjoy it on BT. I just wanted to know the reason and that is as good as any and is hopefully part of the transparency in speedway. Especially IF we see some real team riding.

I might have missed it, but do we know what the justification was for a two day Final? Was it just to give a four meeting bundle to the TV contract re the WTC? Does anybody know? Or rather, is anyone who does know. prepared to tell us?

When you thirst for power, you promise anything that people want. When you get in power you do as you think fit , in the way you prefer and end up just like those who went before you.
