Wow what a post that stinks of nothing but bitterness and jealousy, and what's the crap about to many checks at big meetings, 4th in last years plrc, 4th in the British final, unbeaten at the pairs and five out of six wins at the fours, need I say more?

As an Edinburgh fan I actually don't disagree with that, it's a bad side to him that he shows at times.

Ellis actually didn't score anything, he was last in heat 2 with Hawkins third.

Not sure what will happen if we potentially get Sheffield in the league cup semi and they also get past Berwick in the ko cup and the rearranged fixture at Ipswich, could cause a bit of a headache with Swindon racing on Thursdays.

I think you lose priority when it comes to rescheduled fixtures.

With Swindon being at Coventry next Friday we'd have been without Worrall presumably? So maybe not a bad thing having no match.

I couldn't believe how excited the Workington announcer got after that race, Grajczonek was never going to win that race until Max clearly had a problem he was pretty much pushing with his leg to get over the line, I did think Campton got 2nd though. Also on the announcer thought it was funny before the match saying they were disappointed to lose on Friday despite being on top for the first half of the match, does being 2 points down after heat 8 count as being on top?

Yeah sorry, I didn't actually mean to quote your post, it was more my own thoughts on the team.

It doesn't take to much of an increase from each rider and the points total soon goes up if each rider finished on something roughly like this, Cook 10.60, Masters 8.10, Fricke 6.15, Sneddon 5.80, Sedgmen 5.70, Fox 4.50 and Worrall 4.70 = 45.55 that would be a higher total than we finished last season with, and I don't think I've been overly optimistic with those figures. Personally I'm happy enough with the team bring on 2014. 👍

Six man team? 😜

Are you sure about that. 😉

That's Risager actually scored 10 points on all three visits to Armadale this season, and I think he scored ok a couple of times last year too, seems to be a track he likes.

That strengthens Ipswich quite a bit, if he gets a big score tonight he will have had quite big say in Edinburgh not qualifying for the playoff final.

It does however say in the speedway star that Holt confirmed that he banned Cook from the meeting purely on what he had seen as the riders entered the pits.

So did heater gate actually happen? Is there proof? Because from what I've been told its a load of rubbish and that never happened. He's admitted himself that he lost his head and the ref made the correct decision, although should've chucked Barker out too, but it would seem some parts of the story are getting a bit blown up?!

My guess is the result will stand as it is, you'd think they would know the rules before the match started but then this is speedway we're talking about!!

I'm just going on the fact we got the R/R once last year so presumed its the same this. Makes no difference now Edinburgh lost anyway, if they take the R/R scores out and Redcar gain an extra point then so be it.

Oh well who knows I thought there was some sort of thing to do with 24 hours before and after the meeting? I think they got R/R in one meeting last season for the same reason. I believe Theo did want to race but it was his federation that blocked him as it would have been a bit tight.

Your entitled to R/R when it's an FIM event. ie world longtrack championship.

Jorgensen broke his shoulder a week or so ago.

Assuming Cookie signs that will leave us with 8.30 for the final 2 so that rules Kalle out.

Really hoping to see Holder win on Saturday, a bit surprised to see so many rooting for Nicki, I'm a massive Holder fan and don't really get the negativity towards him! He's spectacular to watch with a great style and to me always comes across as a decent down to earth guy when interviewed don't really get people calling him arrogant and so on, maybe it's an anti Poole thing! I'm an Edinburgh fan just in case people think I'm pro Poole. Chris would be a breath of fresh air as the world champ and I really hope he pulls it off.
