hasn't he just let one go to Birmingham?

You would have thought... if history this season is anything to go by though it very much depends on what your name is rather than the circumstances.

28 day bans incoming

Cookie playing a true captains role again!

The only way it would have made the press is if DJ Woffy had dropped a volley of F- Bombs at not being able to ride... but as the Team GB Captain has, as far as I'm aware, been completely silent on Team GB's victory the press couldn't even report on that!

Mate, pull your dress up! That ain't rude... if you want rude head over to the Scunthorpe and Workington sections!!

I think there were probably cheaper options than Pawlicki and Milik to tick boxes. Pawlicki and Milik both have/had genuine pedigree imo (much like Magic at Oxford), and if they both rode to their true full potential I reckon you'd probably be knocking on the door of top spot in the league... they did both come with massive question marks over whether they would produce their full potential though, Janowski has been more of a surprise (to me anyway), if they'd ridden to only half of their potential i think you'd be challenging for a pay off spot. I don't think anybody expected them to be as disastrous signings as they have been. Brum rolled the dice and it backfired on them spectacularly, I bet neither of them came cheap, so you could criticise Tolley for being naive at best, they did well to axe Milik, questions must still remain in what the hell Pawlicki is still doing there?

They still dragged him out for an interview!?!

It will be good to win it in the Poles own back yard!

I thang you

It'll be interesting to see if Becker can reproduce his SoN form on Thursday.

It'll be the venue and time for the British GP after party

I don't think it's a turns thing though is it? Isn't it whoever bids for it? Sweden haven't hosted SWC since 2012! Well Poland wasn't to host a competition they don't seem to be able to win?

With BV more than likely sustaining a large financial loss, Poland and Denmark finishing nowhere, Australia being 12,000 miles away it'll be interesting to see where the SoN will be staged in 2025? Sweden? Germany? Saudi Arabia?

I didn't think I'd be saying this at the start of the season but King's Lynn are actually worse than Birmingham, I didn't expect them to see the season out and who knows they may still not but they're just crap and you can question their team make up but they haven't had any riders walk out on them, there's no dodgy call offs, they're fulfilling their fixtures home and away. You can question the quality of their riders and management and the sanity of their owner but they're not bringing the sport into disrepute like King's Lynn are.

100%, I'm going to hand all of my posting duties over to you! No doubt, Lynn fans will argue that other teams do points 1, 2 or 3 but the difference is King's Lynn do 1,2 & 3. They not only mess other teams around but both fans of King's Lynn and visiting teams, who will also have made arrangements to attend etc. If they can't run a team in a home and away league programme, which they clearly can't, they should be expelled and concentrate on getting their own house in order with open meetings etc. And try and build up a fan base again before being allowed to return. If King's Lynn do not return to PL racing next year, it pains me to say it as I've spent many happy evenings at Saddlebow Road, nobody outside of King's Lynn would miss them.

Thank you for your well thought out argument and kind words

Just watching the SoN 2 coverage on D+ Bastian Pedersen was wearing something attached to his goggles a thick day glo yellow wire attached to the strap of his goggles and the goggles itself on the right side... anybody any ideas what this was? Also, did anybody else notice the cap that Germany's Jonny Wynany was wearing on his photo captions all night? It read "F*CKING PERFECT Sane22" https://www.fimspeedway.com/riders/jonny-wynant

Unlikely imo, you'll maybe have a run of Monday & Thursday matches and any outstanding matches will probably be left unridden

Ippo haven't brought the opposition into matters and have a long proven track record of running Speedway meetings

I would never dream of suggesting such a thing But if you drill this one down to it's bare bones... Buster has called a meeting off, again, based on a weather forecast, again, unable to track a full team, again... only this time he's bringing in the opposition promotion to justify the decision. Could Leicester have said no?

That's how it's being reported... realistically do you think Buster phoned Leicester up and said, have you seen the forecast? what do you think?, Leicester have already had this postponed ... twice! They've seen a catalog of postponements, over the years, at King's Lynn and can see the writing is on the wall. It's no skin off the Leicester promotions nose (financially) whether it's run or not. Bigger picture it probably is, but no promotion looks at the bigger picture.

It seems to me that King's Lynn should be expelled from the league, they can't assemble a team and habitually call meetings off and that's not just this season. They're bringing the whole sport down in this country. If they want to run open meetings IoW style, fine, no objection to that but as it is they're effecting every other team in the league with their continual shenanigans!

Are those blue seats Poole fans?
