The really close finish was a joy to behold & when it was announced that Scott had taken it the roof nearly came off. what a brilliant race a credit to both riders involved, either one could have done something nasty but they gave each other room & pulled out of moves when it got to narrow. what a great show. Good to get through a whole meeting with no re-starts & no crashes & going home just after 8PM no body had time to moan.(Memories of Frank)

I like Ben, He's a good honest lad & is supported by his whole family. But is he a number 2? I feel the number 2 jacket is to fill & so many times a rider is sacrificed in that position as the number 1 is often told to win the race & don't worry about your team mate. Which is fine because he is expected to return double figures. I'd like to see Ben at number 4 for a while to let him find his feet outside the reserve berth. he's been a top rider in the NDL for years so he knows how to win races. But we all know how twitchy he can be on the start line.

With the new averages coming in Poole had to bring somebody in as the only rider left to guest at under 3.75 would be Kyle Bickley with both Kemp & Wright now above that. I hope the Danish lad firstly turns up & then produces some good displays. I don't think he has done much outside of his homeland but reports are promising.

If the riders had more discipline & would ride around slowly waving to the crowd then we would be able to see their faces. However some can't be trusted to ride around without making a practice start or a wheel stand to entertain their self. the truth is it's a very dangerous sport & therefore extreamly difficult to get insurance for the competitors & it will only take one mishap on a parade lap for the brown stuff to connect with the high speed rotating distribution device & we are left with no racing

Sorry for not being spot on with the average. I just picked a ball park figure to express the points Kent have at their disposal & its closer to 14 than 7.

Yes of course I'm guessing but as I said given all the available information, He's looking for a second club, he's dropping his average, Kent need a big scorer & now have a space to fit him in. Yes I'm guessing but with nearly 14 points to play with why would you pick a 6.00 rider. I think Batch to Kent is the biggest odds on shot since the Lions played the Christians in Rome. then with Mulford I agree he may not hit big scores but he is a Kent rider & it's fair to say that the damage has been done so far as the league & play offs are concerned. Mulford will command more local support than lets say Jason Edwards or JPB

I would say that given all the information available Troy Batchelor is almost certainly the big point rider to fill the gap as heat leader. but the reserve is another matter now that Edwards has been released by Eastbourne. However Mr Silver takes pride in producing young talented riders & he has a long history of success so it would not be a shock to see Jake Mulford promoted from the second team.

Poole fans will be pleased to hear the new track record holder is Zane Keleher

It's not a new rule. It's just never been used before. I think the argument comes from the fact Poole have signed a ghost on an assessed average of 5.00 to replace the outgoing assessed 4.00 meaning a difference in 0.5 in obtaining a guest. If the 4.00 average was used Poole would only be allowed a 3.00 replacement under this regulation.

To be fair. The forecast for Saturday was for afternoon rain & thunderstorms, until Friday when it all cleared. So the track was prepared hard smooth & slick so that after the rain the racing surface could have been recovered & we would have seen a race track. But the rain never came & we ended up with a bland track that offered the attacking rider little in return for his efforts.

It was a good meeting, always close in the scores. No re-starts & all done for half eight including an interval good work to all involved

In the Czech Republic the Pardubice club has Ales Dryml, Vaclav Milik & Jiri Jirout & their sons Ales jnr & Lukas Dryml, Vaclav Milik jnr & Mario Jirout In Prague Jiri Stancl, Petr Ondrasik, Antonin Svab, & Antonin Kasper with their sons George Stancl, Pavel Ondrasik, Toni Svab & Toni Kasper

That is incorrect. The heading is Fathers & Sons. There is no mention of any number. The first post gives us the names of 3 men that rode for a club & then their respective sons but at no point does it mention three is the required number. The first poster to mention "3" is you in the 4th post on the topic. You are the one reading something that is not there & taking over a topic again & making the rules up to suit yourself.

John & Chris Louis & at a push you could include Jem Doncaster who is Stepfather to Chris

I'm not 100% sure but I believe Sam Hagons mother is a Dugard.

I would say it will be another Aussie. Either Keynon Rew or Fraser Bowes. Both are currently riding in the Polish leagues Rew is the better of the pair on current form but Bowes has the pedigree of his father Shane.

Sometimes when your in a hole it's difficult to know when to stop digging

The Pirates ship is believed to be haunted by the ghost of Ondrej Smetana.

That will be the Poles kicking off because they have to run their league match's & of course they are far more important than the SGP so if it starts at 10:00 they will be at Church.

I heard that as well. The system needs a tweak as there were to many green light go starts. I was told we used to have a system like this in British speedway years ago but it was phased out because the timer used was taking between 5 & 7 seconds.

Why is there no Russian flag? I noticed on the SGP site yesterday that Emil & Artum have no flags next to their name. Today on the top 3 presentation a Polish flag & a British flag flying but no Russian flag & on the race bibs Magic has a Polish flag under his name & Tai a union flag under his name but Emil has the SGP logo under his. Anyone know why?

Peter won't help you need St Jude. The Patron saint of lost cause's ( & possibly the BSPL)

I admire the fact that Jack Smith keeps going. But I have to ask why do'es he?

There's no reason to lobby the Council. They were never going to pay anything towards building a new stadium. I'm sure as far as they are concerned more houses on this land would be more to their benefit with more Council tax & a bigger budget from Government for meeting the requirement to build more homes.

More chance of getting a bus ride to the moon!
