I think a lot depends on the Pole's scoring prowess from reserve , assuming he has clearance to ride . L

After Redcar's win at Birmingham last night, I think we have to win this one to get into the top 2

Maybe we got in first . Summers or the crap guest, Etheridge , might be a possibility . Cant see either a guest or r/r covering suffiently Son of God's scoring potential round the Peugeot velodrome however .

It was a wee bit late , around 6-45 , but it did come down

There lies the problem . We've had a much stronger second tier in the past. Blimey in 2004 my team had Parker , Stancl, Grieves and Bentley and finished 11th . It's the weakness of the top flight that gives the impression that the second tier is too strong

What a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon that was yesterday. We all know speedway has its problems , but when you get a superbly prepared track like that , two good teams giving their all , and for a change no rain , there isn't a better sporting spectacle in this country . After two relatively heavy away losses to probably the current best two sides in the league , there were a few nervous home fans in the stadium before the meeting . Scunthorpe didn't come just to make up the numbers , they gated well in the majority of the heats , but one thing we do have is a team full of racers and some of the passing yesterday was breathtaking . Craig Cook in that kind of form is a joy to watch round Ashfield , and Sam Jensen and Connor Bailey just get better and better . What the Pole brings to the party will determine whether we're good enough to challenge the likes of Poole, Leicester or Redcar over two legs , but if we get racing like that from now to the end of the season , its the best £17 for a sporting event out there .

Hope its the one I watched on the telly last night

If anyone has any spare or available seated tickets or tickets for the disabled area , for both days can you p.m. me please . I know its a long shot but you never know

My post was tongue in cheek , that was a hilarious read when I got home from.the meeting on.Friday

I'm a wee bit deflated that the experts on the speedway updates site were wrong about us getting Dudek and paying him a 5k meeting retainer

Just read it , brilliant read , comedy gold . Some speedway fans are just a bit weird

Paid max for Sedgemen , deary me

Nobody rides the second bend at Ashfield better than Son of God

C'mon Poole 31-35 you have heat leaders that can ride the dump , intae them

But Leon Flint ......wow

It did look deliberate from where I was standing

Sorry but Busk Jacobsen , what an arsehole

Agent Morris , remember the abuse you used to get there , you have your orders haha

Well there is that too . The guided missiles they ride now dont work as well in wet conditions as the old uprights did

Was the same last night too . Didn't rain till well after 8 o clock . Clubs don't want to pay rider's travelling expenses so are quick to call off meetings if there is any possibility of rain

No rain here , its a dry night

Nice night , nowt on the telly , might as well wander down the bowling club for a pint

Its getting silly now

Good to hear , we'll need him to reproduce that on September the third

Not without cheating , no . Be interesting to see what we actually do with transfer deadline day just over a week away .
