Another match to fit in before the play-offs... and we seem to have completely forgotten about the KoC

Was like something from Lord of the Rings!

Jesus Christ! The size of Tungate's mechanic!

That rut has been threatening to shoot somebody off for the last few races

It could have been held at Leicester if they wanted riders strung out from the start... especially as the forecasted rain has failed to materialise

If by swings and roundabouts you mean wrong decision made then yes I do agree. Another Saturday night with Beaumont Park laying silent

Thought Ellis was going to blast his way to the front... then went backwards

Is there a heat by heat line up available anywhere?

How do I get the English commentary?

3 points for a win, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd, nothing for coming last

Of course, ask a silly question...

Looking at the met office app and it's not looking like a great decision... AGAIN!

Probably a silly question... but I'll ask it anyway. Why isn't FIM live streaming this?

Is that UK time?

If it says doors 5pm and engines 4pm it looks like a typo, 7 being above 4 on the keyboard number keypad... anyway if you take away the first number you thought of you'll have your answer, btw the date of the meeting is actually the 32nd of Julember

I doubt, if challenged in a court of law, it would hold up but then who's going to do that... you don't upset the cartel

Absolutely no blame to the Poles at all, they're doing what's best for them, while we continue to do the worst. Not every rider is going to make the grade of course... but they do seem to persevere more with their youngsters, mainly because the rules dictate it If I were a Polish promoter I would be looking at the likes of Anders Rowe, Tom Brennan, Dan Thompson, Drew Kemp, Jordan Palin, Jason Edwards etc. At their stage of their careers they are as good as anybody from Sweden, Denmark & Germany, better in most cases. Unfortunately we don't get to see them ride for their country in the UK but generally they produce the goods while riding against their peers in Europe.

Which match?

Give em 1 league point each and move on, no re-staging

BSPL don't control riders licences though, do they?

There are a lot of people on here with some great ideas. Leicester's "promotion" of one of the "plum" fixtures for tonight's match against Glasgow (which has now been cancelled) was literally non-existent.

1 point each and move on

The only saving grace though I think, as I've only read a google translated version of the press release, is that 4 team spots seem to be reserved for Polish riders, so it won't be a complete exodus but they'll certainly take/attract the cream of the crop of riders between 15 and 24 from around the world.

I'm not sure what the rules are here in the UK but I think we at least have to have 2 medics on each bend as that's the minimum I ever see. If an ambulance is needed it is brought onto the track by a medic in the pits. I always thought the Swedes were a bit more safety conscious than us Brits.

I think if you're serious about achieving anything in the sport, you move to Poland. Look at what happened to Jason Edwards earlier this year, was binned off by Eastbourne when they should have been releasing one of their high earners. He'll probably spend the next few years going from club to club as he gets dropped by each one in turn as they make changes further up the team to try and secure a meaningless play off place. Just like many riders before him, James Sarjeant a prime example, a real prospect when he first started... there's many others. The Poles have made a real challenge here to every countries youth schemes!
