  1. They confirmed Nicholls tonight - I didn't hear about the others
  2. I only went to this as was on holiday and it certainly didn't entertain me. Hans was good and EK was a different rider to the one we saw on TV last week but outside of those two, the riders were very inconsistent. Prior to the meeting, I'm sure they were playing 70's music (or very early 80's) and there was little or no atmosphere throughout the night. I have certainly lost my love of the sport and the tired presentation did nothing to rekindle my passion for the sport. Processional racing heat in heat out didn't help either!
  3. Coventry should win this and collect all points on offer
  4. When Bees signed JK, they became playoff certs along with Poole and KL. Well done on the win and this team could win the EL for what may be the last year at Brandon. Go Bees.
  5. So you only include fans in colours? I mean it's very stylish going about in bright blue anorak with a skull on it
  6. How do you know this - did you speak to everyone or are you going by the number of blue Wulfsport jackets? That hardly confirms there were more Poole fans than Swindon fans - I'd rather believe what Red Robin says anyway!
  7. Was never going to be on with the rain today - should have been called off long before now!
  8. Gentlemen's agreement probably. The same way that Josh was allowed to sign in the first place when the rules clearly state he isn't allowed except with the "express permission of the MC". And I fully expect Poole to re-declare again today so that they can still have Rory in the team. How many wrongs is that? The time has really come for the BSPA to have some integrity and stick to their rules and not allow clubs (one in particular) to continually manipulate them to their advantage!
  9. I got the impression that they knew that and were having a giraffe.
  10. I doubt tonight will be on unless it seriously brightens up and the wet stuff stops! You never know with the British weather though! If it is on, I would be interested in seeing if Rory lines up. Having re-declared they should not have a facility for Josh G!
  11. Surely having re-declared, you can't revert back on the day of a meeting - that just wouldn't be right imho
  12. Not if the morning is rained off - according to the rules
  13. If the morning meeting is rained off and Josh doesn't get to ride then surely Rory won't be allowed to guest in the evening for a rider who hasn't ridden for the club - given that Poole have re-declared!
  14. Can't believe Swindon's luck that Poole are bringing in a track specialist. Unfortunately, I think this swings things in favour of Poole
  15. And the moon is made of cheese! No way would I have KL at 1
  16. Unluckily I also saw the meeting live!! I'm pretty sure we can all appreciate the speed they go at and how little time they have to make decisions and how hard they hit the deck etc because on TV you get a clear view of the action! What you don't get on TV is the smell or the atmosphere but it looked like there wasn't any atmosphere last night!
  17. What's ridiculous about it? Fans pay their money to be entertained and that is what riders are supposed to do. If they don't like it they should find another profession to ensure there are still fans left! With your last sentence I can only deduce that the riders didn't feel confident on the track last night because they didn't perform
  18. The best track in the country is the one that serves up exciting speedway week after week. I don't really care what the riders think - they are there to entertain on a strip that lets them do just that. Sadly, last night wasn't entertaining - it was a terrible meeting (Robert Lambert excepted who showed how far he has come in such a relatively short space of time - and he's only 16 - fantastic) and was not a good advert for speedway.
  19. Hope the weather is good for this and I'm planning to attend so looking for a Robins home win. I think it will be a hard fought meeting and think it will be 47-43.
  20. Kennett couldn't even beat the last choice draft rider to the EL
  21. BIt of a snore fest ! 5 vs 7 should be interesting but can only see KL pull away further
