Good luck to Bridger, a much improved rider , hope he has a good meeting

It wasn't an enthralling watch tbh, I found Scott Nicholls the shining light on the viewing front.

Keep getting smashed to bits at home and the fans stay away and the club shuts. No vendetta here , James wright has to be first to go, he was regressing badly at somerset and has gone completely. Big joe can't carry 2 or 3 passengers

James wright is the most regressive rider in British speedway

Credit to the sport. He was the man who almost singled handedly turned the pirates from a side in the doldrums to a team with passion and determination around the millennium. They've flourished in every way since then. I always liked the way he rode round the showground tbh, he could sneak round there a treat. Hope he's not lost to the sport

Schramm is a belting signing, with decent kit and fully fit surely he is a 6.5 man ?

Crumpy ffs

No doubt nicki rode the man not the track. Wasn't there a rule you had to go 30 yards straight before turning left and pole axing the rider on your inner Nicki needed to be another wheel length in front to pull that move tbf As for the ref I spose he took the easy option . Well done to Chris on a deserved title Well done to crumby for a great gp career

Nicki rode the man not the track, Tatum talking uber rubbishe as usual

A complete farce

fair play to ales dryml, hes had a cracking night, fast all evening.

Good racing, batchelor riding like a national league wobbler tbf.

Cert away win, the iow have a heinously weak side since they got rid of the middle order to accomodate the dreadlocked one.

WIZZER would make a fine GB boss in time, eloquent, good motivator etc etc

Utter rubbish from start to finish.

Easy win for the solid islanders over a one and a half man away team really. Kurtz was classy for newport but didnt get much back up, the iow were very solid esp the useful resch at reserve. Just wanted to say that from a mainland customers perspective the new taxi to and from the meeting is completely diffrent gravy to the old will/wont the bus turn up scenario so well done on that score. The racings a bit too spaced out for my liking , tracks just too big for a development league but it was ok.

Fab news, a nice day out for any speedway fan.

Very pleasing result, the 2 teams who were dedicated got thru and the one who just went there to enjoy it all didnt. Hopeless track, hopeless venue and rentacrowd, glad 2 thousand polish will be there sat to swell the crowd.

Does anybody have the definitive line ups as yet? I thought christmas had come early when the aussies were 11-8 in the paper, i would love to lay them at anything under 5-2, sadly they are already 7-2. Surely the scandos will beat them round vojens.

Echo everything thats beeen said already. Credit to buster first and foremost, you know full well if olsen had carte blanche it wouldny have been half as good. Terrific entertainment, superb crowd, a great watch.

Triffic stuff from the ruskies, bloody hopeless efforts from several swedes and danes, bjarne was bloody awful tbh. I have to admit that i thought the ref got it wrong, to my eyes the guy in front is allowed to go where he likes, nicki was never level, let alone in front down the straight and there wasnt any room for him where he was attempting to go. Saying that i hope he makes a good recovery, he is just getting the other side of the coin this season, he cant keep getting getting miracle decisions from refs like the previous 4 years tbh. Team GB should watch how this russian side rode and take it as a big positive into monday..

Our Domestic speedway has prostituted itself so badly in recent years, sadly, to riders from foreign climes. I thought GB would probably finish 3rd anyway but for the likes of nicholls, harris and rico to be completely outridden by swedish trio of ljung, nermark and jonas sums it all up in a nutshell. Those 3 swedish lads rode as if theyre lives depended on it, ours quite frankly didnt. Keep wheeling out the well worn cliches about the track was 'slick and we dont like it', its all cobblers anyway . Middlo papered over the cracks in the english team for a good few yrs tbh. Dont get me wrong jim lynch has an imposible task, silk purse, sows ear variant but the selection of simon stead really was utterly incredible. One other thing why are the english lads machinery always seemingly miles down on power to our scandanavian counterparts ?

IMO the whole key to this meeting is how the track is prepared.. Whilst the danes are different class on all known form they , at times can be susceptible if its very grippy and holding. Also as orion rightly says they are in no massive need to win on the night with it being in the back yard thurs on a track they will absolutely love. I think they will probably win and win well but i wouldnt back them at 1-3

Nicki has this GP lark by the balls tbh, if he doesnt lead or is in any sort of questionable position he just slings the bike down and more often or not gets a re -run at worst. I am 100% convinced its the olsen influence, in truth, the blokes an utter pain in the arris. Nobody can condone the referree last night, maybe a trip to swansea docks was in order for him after the neeting to de-stress

people have to undestand that mondays nights win over 2 miles below world class teams and an injury ravaged yet game sweden was still a million miles behind, class wise to the competition last night. The most worrying thing about last night was the tuning/lack of set up in the english ranks,for the first 17 races it lookes as if we were riding 400cc machines to be honest. Forget the fact that kennett and stead were a bit outclassed,this had to be down to engine capabilitys on a fast track,lets face it,our tuning/engines were nowhere near fast enough
