Much as I thought... so you could get Zmarzlik, Doyle, Lindgren & Holder in one group and Woffinden, Kvech, Bewley & the WC in another... surely there should be some sort of seeding as it's for world championship points

How is the draw for the quali groups decided?

Cut your keys... follow you home... rob your house... murder you while you sleep... do a jobbie in your bed... probably....

See you there then

It's always good to watch Poole lose and it was quite an entertaining on a nice spring/summer night, though heat 8 was a bit of a slog... Scott Nicholls! Great rider, we all know that and I could go on and on about all his achievements down the years... but! I do wish he'd come round and celebrate his victories with the crowd. It was a brilliant match winning ride to pass Richard Lawson in the final race and there was a roar from the crowd when he crossed the line and they were clearly in the mood to celebrate, did we see Nicholls coming round punching the air and popping wheelies and milking the occasion... no, straight back to the pits on the back straight, the Oxford faithful were treated to Tom Brennan celebrating his magnificent personal performance, Poole really seem to have unlocked something in him this season.

Nice touch sending the Pirates out on parade where there's no crowd to cheer them... that walk has nearly killed Middlo

... and it's £2 more for the privilege of paying on the day! It's a nice evening for Speedway, so on this occasion I'm not going to let it put me off, I'll be wary in future though!

No, that was Meths, of the crystal variety

I know it's probably been asked a hundred times before but... can you pay at the door at Oxford? Card? Cash?

Probably working at some rubbish tip somewhere

This is exactly why we run sport isn't it... not what some fan/promoter thinks might happen

Didn't he also say he felt he could double both... makes you wonder if he's still on something I do understand he was trying to sell himself though

Yeah, let's give him the benefit of the doubt, he is only a kid after all... He'll do well to learn though that even if he's not doing too badly you can still easily be replaced in British Speedway if the team ain't performing because of the way averages work

Like he "dealt with" the Belle Vue heat leaders and 2nd strings? He could only beat Bailey and Blodorn! All the better to run the meeting then with a decent guest as opposed to him scoring 2 points again and he'll be back in the main body... do you understand that? Not to mention the small matter of following the regulations regarding meeting postponements! Which everybody seems to be forgetting

Even with any of the guests at reserve mentioned above, they should still make light work of Kemp and Hagon around Lynn... let's not forget Woj only scored 2 points against Belle Vue

So he should be riding in the main body of the team at home? It doesn't really work like that either. The sport is run on "averages"

Take out the foreign players from football and there's hundreds ready to take their place, can you say the same about speedway? And isn't Haarland a league 2 player anyway For me our "youth system" just isn't producing enough riders for the few teams we have left and is probably part of the reason while there are so few clubs left

If Woj was that good he wouldn't be riding at reserve!

What an apt username

While it's great to hear rider interviews etc. I do think some of them are a little too honest and maybe they should engage their brain before talking, in the last week alone I've heard: Max James saying he doesn't really care how many points the team scores as long as he's had a good night Nicolai Klindt say he can't work out how to set a bike up to run in the cold weather and neither can Steve Worrall Jason Edwards say that sometimes you've got to "play the system" with guesting. Indicating that if you don't raise your average for "your" team then you can get more guest bookings and fill your boots in those meetings! Sometimes ignorance is bliss

NIMBY

We get that at Leicester when the track is perfect! No excuse to abandon a meeting

Seriously though, there are far many more football clubs, Football doesn't rely on doubling up to keep their domestic leagues running and also doesn't "rely" on foreign talent

Poole legend Malcolm Simmons? Poole legend Michael Lee? Both done time
