Nicki P would not only hold his own he would hold others as well! I went to the Evening with Nicki P & Woffy on the eve of Cardiff a few years back........the action nearly got as firery off the track as on it!

Lack of financial backing from the Russian Federation.

Thank you for the links r and r, just printed mine off. I'll be watchin tomorrow & Saturday then I'll be takin me seat at the NSS next month for the Final. I see Magic not riding now, I can't of a reason other than Wroclaw wanting him fit for the Ekstraliga Final on Sunday. Anyone know any other reason?

Does anyone know when GB av to declare their team for the SON Final?

I wish nature would do somet about my old farts especially after having had fried onions!

I wonder when a rider drops out of the top 5 to a reserve spot if their pay rate is adjusted accordingly. Especially like we have seen at Peterborough recently with Bomber & Hans going to number 7. I'm kinda thinking their pay rate stays the same and they then go on to have 7 rides scoring a bag full of points and being paid money that would be better served being kept within the club. I would truly like riders to be paid their worth doing such a dangerous sport but sadly in British speedway it just isn't there.

Us Pirates should be there at the end, a lot cud depend on Nielsen comin back & if he does he needs to be ready to mix it from the off. But I wouldn't rule any team out including the Monarchs, all about comin good when it matters as we have done on more than one occasion. Poole av had a late run, finished 4th & gone on to win the title.

Hasn't helped anybody but with the state of finance at the moment in speedway you can't really blame clubs for calling off early but yes it is annoying for us fans. Leicester called off early the other week coz of the forecast but as it turned out the wet stuff never arrived and the meeting cudve gone ahead. Stewart Dickinson held his hands up to this on the mic on Saturday. But if you have no money in the pot to risk it till half hour before start time then sadly it is wot it is. Was a cracking meeting at Leicester vs Monarchs on Saturday, shame Rowe & Kemp were not up to much coz if they were you wouldve won. Pickering, wow wot a rider!

Brilliant, I'll be seeing him next Tuesday at the Long Eaton sos. He's a top fella

Hey Barry, can you and Martin work your magic with a Long Eaton represented team next season. Mind you, you would sadly need your bulldozer to knock down the housing estate that was built on top the stadium on Station Road.

Next season: One league. 5 riders per team of which one must be a British rising star at reserve (no.5). 15 heats. This will give the top 4 a minimum of 6 rides (unless replaced by a reserve) each and the no.5 a minimum of 4 rides. Then there will be the nominated heat 15 so 2 of the riders will have an additional ride. Possibly no tactical rides but a reserve may come in twice. This will end all the doubling up nonsense and riders will have more rides during a meeting therefore cutting out the need to ride for 2 teams. More variety of teams to watch for the fans and a team of their own to identify with instead of watching all these 'select' teams. Also introduce a handicap ko cup competition for teams to compete for, you want more passing? Well handicap racing is the way to go and this would be a fantastic introduction to go alongside the standard league format (with the changes suggested above). Also of course keep the NDL running.

We Pirates are in the semis

Bomber certainly made a difference to us Pirates in our hour of need in 2018 play off semi & final. The move he pulled on Doyle at Wimborne Road to get us straight to the final was absolutey off the charts! Bomber played an integral part in us becoming 2018 PREMIERSHIP CHAMPIONS!

Speedway Star still advertising a ticket and accommodation package for the weekend The SON website is showing the capacity at 4,000 which I'm sure is without the temporary stands.

Fair point but it is one of several that he's had there this season. It certainly seemed to be pleasing Steady on tv last week as he was laughing and joking with him during and after the meeting after a 14+1 paid max. Proving his consistency of getting them around there is a step above one maximum & that wud sway my thoughts. Plus he's the track record holder. It is tho a tough call for wot I believe is a straight choice between him and Lambert SEC Champion & GP rider. Gotta be Bewley, surely? Better choose Tai coz I got me Tai Woffinden starter kit ready to wear! Anywayz I know Tai is definitely over ere in October so not to pick him wud be like well a bit silly really

Your moaning about other people moaning so STOP moaning! Ermmmm, think I'm moaning as well now! Bugga!

Surely now Bewley is a cert pick for the SON after another 15pt MAX at the NSS! WOFFINDEN BEWLEY BRENNAN No brainer!

All together now......"Who do you think your kidding Mr Straatan if you think we're on the run" Dad's Army celebrate their success! Godfrey was the First Aider as Monmore was blitzed by Bomber command!

Pearson just said live on air, "tweet in if u've had the central heating on yet" Just another of his moronic lines, get rid! Get Brando & Dave Rowe on meeting comms! central heating......next he'll be askin if u've had yer willie warmer on yet!

Wonder if they if they are still planning to go to USA anytime soon for a GP especially now with the change of rights holders. While there isn't an American that is anywhere near up to the world class standards of Penhall, Ermolenko, Hancock & Hamill etc I'm sure Luke Becker could still mix it up a bit . Or will Wilbur Hancock be the next to crack it on the world stage? Speedway will benefit hugely from USA being represented in the GP once again and I think Luke Becker would be a refreshing addition along with a GP in USA .......yet the organisers seem to think that having some countries represented in the GP benefits them more even if the rider as failed to qualify automatically. Not sure what Slovakia and Slovenia being represented in the GP as done for the series especially now as their riders are 12th and 14th in the standings.

yep, whoops.......fair point. Good job I'm not picking the wildcards!

I'm talking about a permanent British wildcard pick for the whole GP series not just Cardiff. Sorry for any confusion.

Lambert would be a good call for a wildcard but if he doesn't get picked for the SON and Bewley does this could change things regarding a British permanent wildcard pick. The organisers may completely over look choosing another Brit if they see that Lambert isn't good enough to be picked for the SON. All about being in the shop window. Depends also I guess when the wildcards are announced. Think I've confused myself
