Only to deprive somebody else the opportunity of winning it. Got his appearance fee and went home

Heat 17! What a fantastic race, you'll not see better anywhere. Great job from the track staff to get the thing into a racing condition

These modern day race suits do seem to tear rather easily, that's the 2nd time I've seen one rip after a nothing fall. You would maybe have thought that they'd have to be of some kind of minimum standard

It doesn't excite me... it's quite dreadful to watch!

That was a very long time ago... in sport you're only a good as your last match/ race. Ben Cook on the other hand... I'd love to see him win it (even though he's a Poole rider), It'd be refreshing to see a rising star win it than a journeyman for a change

c000k has disappeared again

Never saw him... he was always riding for Edinburgh on a Friday night when he should have been at Coventry, risking his life for my entertainment. I'm afraid he's a has been. You'll be telling me next that Saint Craig has withdrawn so British youngsters can gain some experience of a big event, the scales will fall from your eyes one day

Craig Cook withdrawn... can't wait for him to risk his life for my entertainment at Belle Vue tomorrow and then at Leicester in the evening, he's a waste of space

So far this evening he's had 2 opportunities to risk his life for our entertainment and get competitive track time and he's decided to quit after 2 laps!

We need an advert on TV, with sad music and pictures of OAP's sat in deck chairs filling programmes in, riders sat at home with bikes in the garage and nowhere to ride... Can you spare £5 a month? £5 a month could help save this sport. For £5 a month you can adopt a fan, you'll receive a monthly programme with all the times recorded and R/R amendments made.

I notice there's a save Coventry Speedway banner on the safety fence... right next to the save Peterborough Speedway banner, oh hang on, there's not a save Peterborough Speedway banner, that must be down at Monmore for tomorrow's televised meeting, along with the save Wolves Speedway banner

Miss Championship League

The averages game cripples this sport, they should move to rider grading again

Some already appear to have a spare one

Cook to win, Batch 2nd, 3rd is anybody's

I'm just wondering whether we can throw another championship onto the end of the title... The Championship League Riders Championship Championship? Sounds so much better

Is Schlein still riding?

Looking forward to a night of high farce, weather don't look great for later either!

Why so? Scratching around for riders?

We'll have the scraps

That's all well and good saying that but under the average points system you often have to make 2 changes to make the one change you actually want to make with the riders available who want to ride here

Did all his engines last night apparently

Nadine Dorries

That's because it was only a very light shower!

There are many riders around Europe that could still do a job, Lions legends Vaculik, Wozniak, Nilsson, Przedpelski... any of the rest of the GP field or even the GP Challenge field, Chris Holder... or take a punt on a youngster like Peterborough and KL have done with Wojjy and Bruem, it may just pay off like it had with Wojjy (until whatever has happened, happened). As things stand at the moment, even if we do make the play offs... we're toast I noticed that too and the way that Stewart Dickson had to call him over to the riders waiting to go out in heat 2 to pass on track info. I think it's fair to say that Max is currently learning his role as Captain, but he has been the shining light of our season since the wheels have come off, his commitment on track can't be questioned, if he could just maybe learn to do a bit of team riding...
