I don’t mind fans of other teams commenting on other matches but leave your own teams out of it, no club is bigger than the sport itself and that includes Poole, I am sure if my own team had not closed and had been in the Elite League, we might have been up there challenging but we were not, it’s dead and history, just move on, for most of you, your teams will have another crack at it next season, mine won’t, we might be lucky if we see the Hammers riding in some meaningless NL select event.

Working last night so had the luxury of being able to fast forward through all the chatter and BS, not a good meeting for the Witches, reminded me of Lakeside whenever the TV was there, all of a sudden the outside run would disappear and bang, home advantage taken a hit. Swindon are the better team though, regardless of the league table, they are imo the strongest team in the league by far, excellence balance of squad. I wont bother watching the second leg, its all over as meaningful contest now, Swindon will enjoy it and rightfully so but it wont be one for the neutrals.

I doubt you will see many Wolves fans at Swindon tomorrow.

I do feel a little sorry for the Wolves fans, you spend all season willing your team to get into the top four, have to wait weeks for the final meetings, and then you get served this!

Well Troy, how did that work out for you?

Not really the night for leg trailing Kyle although I know its his style.

Not pretty but what can you do, the weather is not going to get any better over the next twenty days, you can't just call everything off and hope for better weather at this time of year.

I remember when I first went to speedway in the late 80s how it was unusual to see less than 23-25 home meetings each season, now your lucky if you get half that.

How many times does it have to be said that having the play off this late is asking for trouble, it must surely be costing BT Sport a ton of money in wasted production costs

I am surprised that Poole fans want to throw Jack and Brady under the bus, they were poor last night but averages don't lie, they have had decent seasons, Klindt has been a form rider this season but both averaged more than Nic. We would happily have Jack and Brady at Lakeside except we haven't got a track, actually we don't have a club either, and going by the silence, probably never will again.

It looked quite dark on the terraces so hard to see how many was there, I wasn't looking anyway, but nonetheless surely there must have been at least 1000 Poole fans there? I mean we are told frequently how big the club is when it comes to support, and you rarely see the main stand empty on a sky night, even for a fairly meaningless fixture or do the large majority of their fans not recognise speedway away from Wimbourne Road?

Track going off, no need to run heat 15, call it now.

Awesome Richard Lawson

Exactly Hagonshocker, asking for trouble running this at the end of September early October

Ha Ha Ha Kelvin is going to look like a mug very shortly

Everyone tweet BT Sport and Nigel Pearson, I have

Wont Fn learn with they?

ive just tweeted BT Sport telling them to get on with it, rain on its way and fans pay to see racing!

They prepare tracks slick because if it rains the idea is the rain runs off the track, however you cant race like that because it will be like ice, so you would have to wait for the rain to stop and then put dry dirt down or sawdust, if you have dirt down that gets wet, then you can scrape it off.

I think Poole will edge it tonight, both the meeting and therefore of course the tie, rain is expected later so I hope both clubs approach the ref and BT Sport before hand and make it absolutely clear they need to get on with the meeting, get ten heats done then you can slow it down for Ad breaks etc

Get on with it! FFS

Christina Turnball Steve, never ridden a bike in her life probably.

Not that it made any difference but if rain was looming why wait until 15 minutes in before having heat 1? always the same.

Don't like this, it will make the meeting a mockery

If the track is wavy again with a deep line out wide it will be a close encounter as Witches have the like of Bomber, NKI and King who are not afraid to ride one foot from the fence, I feel they rode very much within themselves in the recent league match there where as Poole, Especially Josh, really was going for it. On paper for me this is one of the most exciting play off series for a long time, (if your a neutral) all four teams are very capable and therefore I hope each semi is very nip and tuck, all too often in the past we have had semi finals that have been so one sided and all but over after the first leg and you just want to skip to the final itself. The Swedish finals was so boring because Smederna walked it, fingers crossed we see two epic semis and a final in our own league, Don't care which team wins, I want Speedway and the fans to be the winner.
