Vuolas has actually upped his away average.

Last year was 4.00 (4.32), currently 5.68 (6.53), which is actually the highest Workington away average, with or without bonus points.

In the league alone, we've been to Poole which he missed, scunny which he done really well at, and noe plymouth where hes doing awful.

I can guarantee, come the end of the season, his away average will have dropped. Especially when we have berwick and Oxford to come

[Mr Blobby]

There’s 3 races left what is the need for this length of a track grade.

[Woke23]

What is going on? Why are they grading this much? There's naff all wrong with the track so bugger off.

[Woke23]

And just on that note, they grade and remove all signs of passing on the outside. 

[Waspman]

Problems with maths just like tnt

[Woke23]

Barker should've been excluded then. On a positive, batch has looked very good last two meetings. Keep it up sir

[topaz325]

More tractors doing grading it’s 11:30

Not a bad effort from 3 of the riders, didn’t expect Trigger or Morley to score any.

But a poor night from our No.5 cost us the bonus point, which would have been a decent result with the team we had out.

Plymouth had 6 riders scoring good points throughout the night which was the difference.

Good racing tonight, the widened track seems to be doing the trick

Bore off quoting everyone with stats, it’s getting massively boring.

Do you even watch speedway or just follow results?

Both, if I bore you that much, just mute me.

If I replied to the post saying "I don't agree with you" without giving any context / reasoning, what would be the point of that?

So I pointed out his away average has actually gone up.

Then @Woke23 sent a sensible reply with his reasons for his comments.

Both of us gave an opinion, it would be boring if everyone agreed all the time, there was no insults or name calling, I'd say that's what the forum is for.

Obviously I like stats, if others don't that's fine too. But I don't see why I should stop using them.

Sounds like you have an itch to prove people wrong, I know what that is a trait of and it all matches up now, which is why people probably just ignore you.

The reason I said what I did is because you can’t go on a single thread on this whole forum without you chirping up and doing the exact thing I mentioned.
Or quite often it’s telling everyone what team changes the team manager should have made during a meeting.

The mute button is good advice Captain Hindsight.

Antti can be a real let down away from home at times, he was great in the latter stages last night. But was always going to be a waste of a r/r ride tonight.

As Alfie Bowtell says you have to attack this track and he doesn’t on some tracks for whatever reason.

Yeah have to agree with this, when we needed him to stand up tonight (which he eventually did last night) he went missing in action. It will be hard for him to progress further in speedway without showing more steel and adaptability on tracks of different shape and surface quality.

[SteelShoe]

They are doing alot of things right at Plymouth and it is being rewarded with better attendances so well done the Gladiators. After saying this I thought 150 minutes for 15 heats was too long tonight. The interval in particular was too long even with the kids race and the re-runs of heat 14.

I tried the curry and rice tonight and it was very nice. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.👍

Just caught up with this and what a great advert for grass roots British Speedway! 13 committed lads, great racing, a close scoreline for the  aggregate bonus point, incident and controversy. The Plymouth track has taken some stick in the past but it was spot on tonight. 

Absolutely put the tripe served up in Latvia in the GP to shame in comparison. 

The commentator mentioned it, the word of the night was commitment and without wishing to labour the point, tonight's match showed that Plymouth and British Speedway does not need the likes of Nicolai Klindt. It's just a shame that the rules and the spineless SCB  are letting this situation continue with Klindt treating Plymouth like a piece of dirt and a last resort pay day.

Was some good races but from a comets point of view too many last/non scoring) races, 11 of them. can't get an away win or bonus point with this many no scores, and only 4 heat wins, tough watch on the terraces from the 15-20 comets fans who made the 800 mile round trip

Good to see you Neila especially as we took the bonus point lol. It was a good meeting takes 2 teams to make a good match  good luck for the rest of the season
