I assume Palm toft was in pain as he didn't come out in heat 15. Allen always struggle towards the end of meeting when the track slickens off, he rides his balls off but hes riding a push bike. I like the look of Sam Hagon seems to be racer.

He only scored 4 but I admit he was better than I thought he was going to be, certainly better than Bowtell who was dissapointing.

Out of form Paul Starke or Stefan nielsen would have been preferable to Boxall, I think Kinsley would have been preferable to Boxall. Palm toft is going to take a few rides to get up to speed, Poole could win this especially as I think it is a must win for Poole if they are to choose their opponents in the play offs. With 6 team play off format Scunny have known for weeks they are going to make the play offs but they can't top the table.

Bowtell is decent round EWR, I will swap him for Boxall.

Nice to see Godfrey not bowing to riders wage demands, how did I know Poole would get Bowtell .

Cameron Heeps for Kemp?

If the Plymouth v Berwick fixture cannot be completed before the cut off, Berwick could be denied the opportunity to make the play offs.

Palm toft still not riding for Lynn on Thursday, Sedgmen in as Guest? Bowtell for Kemp?

Troy Batchelor? surely you must have to complete more than 4 meetings in the championship to qualify.

Not as good as Scunny imo.

I find the Belle Vue centre green presenter very irritating.

bit of a gate fest

Its an awful play off format, it looks like something the BSPA would come up with.

I have been saying for years why do Discovery have a GP in Teterow when Gustrow produces way better racing....madness. Probably the same reason they go to Gorzow rather than Czestochowa or Bydgoszcz......money. Short term corporate greed rather than showcasing speedway at its best to attract the future generations.

Probably was going to lebedev but he will take the place of Jack Holder, not sure who is the next best Latvian.

Fair play to Oxford, looking at the forecast yesterday I wouldn't have blamed them for calling it off early.

What did you expect, Lambert and Tai haven't done British Champ for years. Lets hope the Aussie doesn't get the wildcard.

What I don't get is why didn't they do the practice an hour or two earlier, and then they could have saved the fans the bother of turning up.

all 4 back anyone?

At Wroclaw I would go with Tai, Rob, Dan, Wright, Ellis. Of course there is opinion and debate who are the best top 5, the justification for using Brennen over Wright is one of the most bizarre I have seen i.e he rides in poland so he going to score more points at Wroclaw( despite Belle Vue being the most similar track to Wroclaw). The real reason that Wright wasn't include is because he didn't want ride in European pairs in Finland.

People are misunderstanding this thread, there is no criticism of the riders who all give it 100%. The criticism is of Simon Stead and Oliver Allen who didn't pick the top 5 riders.

According to a lot of the riders Wroclaw track is most similar to Belle Vue, Charles Wright has a higher average than Tom Brennen despite Brennen being at reserve.

This 'giving them experience' should really not enter calculations. When fighting for medal it should be top 5 riders. If you care to the read world cup thread, there was lots of criticism from myself and others when the GB squad was announced.

That's silly logic to suggest those who ride in Poland will be the best riders for the job. By that logic if Brennen, Eliis and Worral were injured would you have put Kemp in the team.

They have had problems with the Krosno track all year. This isn't the first postponement for no good reason.
