I spoke to him this morning and he said he had planned on riding in the UK next season, but changed his mind after last night. He said he’s not flying thousands of miles to play follow the leader. He said he wants to entertain fans. He also said tell LisaColette to stop talking rubbish in the Poole v Glasgow topic. He then said Ben Cook buys his race suits from Build-A-Bear.

Your naivety means you can’t see the forest for the trees. If you don’t have the mental capacity to process what last night would represent for the casual newcomer - our sport’s target market - then attempting to engage in discussion with you is a futile exercise. The on-going collapse of British speedway continues.

It’s just sad. Watching Flint, Nagel and Rowe in particular throw their bikes and bodies all over the place, but generate zero pace or traction was a travesty. Even Lawson - a master of Wimborne Road - gated second and couldn’t lay a glove on Harris.

Does that make it acceptable and tolerable? Let’s not beat around the bush; instances like last night will be a catalyst for the death of this sport. As I said last night, I encouraged two Bournemouth based colleagues to attend or tune in last night. Non-speedway fans. One tuned in with his son and won’t be doing so again. To the neutral (our target market), it was a dire spectacle. Poole can enjoy their trophy cabinet in 5-10 years when their only meetings are exhibition ones, twice per-season, because UK speedway is dead. I repeat: that wasn’t home track advantage, that was racing prevention.

I’m referring to genuine overtaking during a race. If you want to count someone correcting a poor gate and selecting the wrong line as a pass within the first half lap, then be my guest. To be quite frank, there’s a lot to be debated here, but your comment is downright unintelligent. Don’t quote me again.

We shouldn’t need a centralised track preparation protocol, but Poole are forcing the sport’s hand. Home track advantage is one thing; it’s inevitable through regular racing, but what we saw last night was racing prevention. An utterly dreadful advert for a sport that is dying a slow death and the worst thing? It’s intentional.

Two passes in fifteen heats, Lisa. One of those was due to Starke having bike difficulties. Even our 5-1 was utterly boring. That disgrace of a track is damaging the sport.

Something has to be done. Should track preparation be centralised? Should the BSPA employ the track staff, so preparation is done in the interest of a quality product? Let familiarity be the advantage to the home team, thus allowing both teams to go toe-to-toe. By the way, one of those colleagues I mentioned from Bournemouth purchased the stream and watched it with his son. Safe to say he won’t be a repeat viewer of speedway.

Thank God that’s finished. To summarise: 15 heats, 2 passes. One of which was due to a mechanical problem.

This is the bigger picture. It’s selective boredom by Poole speedway. It’s short-term gain despite the inevitable prospect of long-term loss. I don’t know if they tuned in, but I recommended two Bournemouth based colleagues tune in to this tonight and if they did, they won’t be returning supporters. Why would they? This is boring. Middleditch just called it a ”great speedway meeting”. Stop talking out of your ass, Neil. Who are you trying to persuade? Us or yourself? We are about to enter heat 15, having witness one pass. I won’t stop mentioning that fact because it’s so bad.

Ladies and gentlemen, 14 heats, yes FOURTEEN HEATS and there’s been ONE pass all evening.

Lawson can’t even pass.😂😂😂 13 heats, one pass and it was due to a mechanical problem.😂 Start Zmarzlik 15 yards behind Cami Brown on Cruz Harris’ bike and Brown is taking the chequered flag on this track.

Twelve races, one pass. Surely we’re reaching a record here, no? Perry could out gate Lawson and they’d finish in that order.

Well said, Chris Harris. ”The track’s diabolical. Worst it’s ever been. Gate and go”. That, coming from arguably the UK’s most exciting post-millennium rider. What an utter shame and farce.

14 riders on motorbikes with no brakes, racing on a track of dirt that’s wide enough for four and it’s a final. Eleven heats, one pass. Wild.

You can’t even blame a single rider here. Flint’s all action; wide, inside, cutback, the lot and he’s getting nothing.

What a bizarre perspective.

Nine heats, one pass due to a mechanical problem. One day, we won’t have our wonderful sport any more and tracks like this will be a catalyst to that.

That’s actually quite impressive; making a race involving Nagel and Cairns boring.

You’re fighting a strange fight here. It’s heat eight of the play-off final and we’ve had one pass; Hodder passing Starke because he had engine troubles. Why are you trying to defend it or deflect from it?

The second Thompson and Flint hit the front, you knew it was over. Great for us, but as a spectacle, a sport and an occasion, what a shame.

Fair is fair, so for the purpose of consistency, we’ve just got a 5-1 and the most exciting thing was that we were in that position. Rowe had zero chance. ZERO. You will not pass.

No, it’s not.😂 I know James and he’s Scottish. This guys English.

Neil Middleditch: Your decision is sh*t” Christina Turnbull: ”Your track is sh*t!

Villas, you’re not in Denmark or at Ashfield, son. Go wide here and your race is over.
