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.

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.

In English please?

Kennett couldn't even beat the last choice draft rider to the EL

BIt of a snore fest ! 5 vs 7 should be interesting but can only see KL pull away further

Interesting to see the return of Nathan Greaves in place of Starke at Swindon. Glad he's riding for POOLE

I was thinking the same - I can't see him in any PL or NL team (although I may have missed him as I was skim reading) - so can someone shed some light for me?

It's a massacree!

I thought the gap would be bigger so credit to Wolves. I predict that not for the only time this season Sarj will outscore Garrity. Take a bow PK

Unlike last season

Very few teams come away from Lakeside with points - a bit like Eastbourne was! I don't see that changing much this season but got to applaud your optimism.

It's just POOLE that stays illegal for the season

And that is one of the reasons why people have issues with you and certain other Poole "fans" Learn to win and lose with grace !!

Good scoring from Dak - looks like he is continuing where he left off last season

In English please?

You running for parliament?

Show me the official records that say this - and not what you think should happen. The official records I've looked at have Poole at the top - and no asterisk!

Crucially - it IS pointless because KL did not top the table no matter what you think should happen - and no asterisk beside Poole's name as being EL champions!

That's alright then because you didn't. As a Swindon fan, can I just state I would be happy to win the league any way we can :wink:

You are right - I have no argument - POOLE are champions. Your irony isn't lost on me

Swindon should have been champs - it's only fair as POOLE didn't beat them in the playoffs - stick an asterisk next to POOLE as Swindon are the rightful winners

What really is very simple is ... Poole ARE champions, no asterisk! Got it?

I didn't disagree that KL finished top - what I said is that it didn't matter! There were 4 teams in the play-offs and you need to beat the teams you are up against and POOLE did that - fair and square (apart from hole gate) - they were the best team in the play-offs. As I have also said - it is done and dusted! The records show that POOLE are champions (with absolutely no asterisk beside their name - no matter how much you want it)

As I've said before - so what? I don't think anyone disagrees that they have now finished top - when you remove Darcy's points but we all know you win nothing for finishing top and the play offs are not invalidated as they were contested without Darcy. Why do you keep insisting that they would have an asterisk next to their name? They won it fair and square.

I don't think you get it - it changes nothing as far as 2014 is concerned. The play-offs were contested without said banned rider so it's gone. You can argue all you want that with KL having the pick things could have been different - but we will never know. You get it now?
