Each stadium / track will have it's own for's and those that are against , at the end of the day it's another speedway track that is still open for business , like it or like it not , which we should all be grateful for with the sport as a whole in decline and very little chance of seeing new stadium development anywhere .

Relieved to read JD’s tweet.

rode last season for us i do believe. so guest i know the rules are complicated, but how do you get your reserve to drop down onto the body of the team and dan move up . we are not peterborough ya know .

Will be interesting to see who the other new riders registered will be Could it signal an intent to move up to the top league in the not too distant future? Whatever his faults (real or imagined) Ged is certainly positive and proactive in looking to develop his club - you have to applaud him for that.

As many fans now can read you like a book.The usual and expected comments from you. Poole must be the unluckiest team in the league to have to face teams at when they are at their strongest at any time in their league campaigns. Funnily enough when Poole have to use R/R or a guest they are weakened. Nice one SS same old bulls**t

The rule in which Campton has a lower average?

Yep probably on par with What Mick Horton said was break even, you can add a few more to that when weather improves. Decent meeting despite the conditions, if it was a premiership meeting I doubt it wouldve got that far. Fair play to all the riders for keeping it going.

About 350 I would guess, which considering the weather (rained all the way through) is pretty good and it will only get better once the sun starts shining and word gets around about how good the racing is. Really enjoyed it and all credit to the lads who got stuck in despite the rain and tricky track to produce some great racing which was on a par to any PL match I've been to.

He has had a racing neck brace put on so is probably out of the meeting

Kyle is a difficult one to predict. At times he looks rather ordinary, but one the other hand he popped out of the gate in heat 9 on Friday and beat the previously unbeaten Ulrich Ostergaard, and if he can pull that sort of thing off against an opposing heat leader once a meeting its the sort of thing that wins matches, and he didn't have any last places which is exactly what you want from a No 4. There is a long way to go yet but my guess is he'll stay at No4 all season , maybe with a small increase on his average . I like him though, glad we have him in the team and hope he does well. He is certainly not short of enthusiasm .

To be fair, Jonas had just drove across Stevie on the 4th corner, so Stevie would have been trying to get around him when Jonas tried it again.

Such is the strength of this Poole side, it has ridiculed the league as a competition. In there blinded wisdom of allowing out of date averages, the BSPA has all but destroyed the equality a league needs to be respectable. My plan for the coming season is to accept Poole's dominance and forget about them. In my mind the competition is about the remaining 7 teams. These are all of a similar standard where the results will be based on the racing seen on the track and not some out of date ruling that only provides loopholes for those looking to pull a fast one..

Only made it for the last 5 races, but impressed with what I saw from both sides. Really like the centre green presenter there and Neville is great. It's not just a speedway meeting there its an event for the family. Very much in the mould of the Warrior Way.

And they also have around 100 tradesmen who have offered their services to restore the stadium.

Come on people, don't feed the troll.

Excellent news. Very lucky indeed.

Most if not all neutrals are waiting with baited breath praying that Leicester beat Poole, just to throw it back to SS about his Poole team being streets ahead of any other. Leicester to sneak it 46-44

If I was a Wolves fan I'd be cringing at picking Thorssell as their No1. Terrific meeting though, Poland hardly let you down

They need to listen to constructive criticism. Some do tend to sneer at advice.

bring back Dave Goddard- all is forgiven !!!! Kai Huckenbeck wasn`t even in the race

Not feeling the british commentator, think I will swap to polish coverage on NC+

I'm sure even stevie will watch that and retract his statement about the other rider.

It’s live on YouTube for anyone who struggling to get a stream

I think we lack that at Poole I'm afraid just my opinion we never get young lads going around after the meeting anymore

Are they affiliated to the Freemasons by any chance?

To be fair I don’t see a lot of fault anywhere, just a racing incident between two riders giving it everything.

What a daft comment. What is a club supposed to do, hire riders who are no good on their home track ? Lol. More like you are just a poor loser. Get over it.

All clubs have the same chance to sign riders as any other clubs if they chose not to do so for whatever reason that’s up to them it’s not Poole fault that rider want to ride for them surely? ask any young footballers that doesn’t want to play for Man United for instance. I’m perhaps missing something but are Poole really that much stronger than the rest of the league ? as for someone saying they could do an Ipswich what they did in 98 I’d be amazed if they did - yes Poole have a good side as they do most years I’d expect nothing less .

Not at all. As with most things in life if you approach a situation looking for the positives you’ll find them, and if you go in looking for the negatives you’ll find them. The glass that’s half empty is the same glass that’s half full. I spent Friday night enjoying the meeting -both teams. I really don’t get why people spend £17 to spend the evening moaning . Maybe you ought just not go to Lakeside, not think about it, and not follow the threads. Unless of course being miserable is what makes you happy, but it seems a strange attitude to me . Life’s a bit short to go round moaning about everything all the time.

Just caught up with the Wroclaw match which I really enjoyed- massive crowd.

Social media can be some riders worst enemy,Sponsers can't be impressed with their comments.

I’ll be coming down for this as I want to have a look at the old place while I can. I’ve not been during the Fraud era for obvious reasons but the current rumblings have stirred me into action. I’d booked this when we had our pre injury/broken heart line ups as I could see an Aces victory. Now it’s just a run out for the patched up Aces against an already strong pirates sides bolstered by the addition of PK. It’s just me coming along as the cost for the family can’t be justified at this famously gate & go venue. Looking forward to it anyway, just needed to dig out my Simmo rosette.

Thought I'd do a bit of analysis on which riders are being picked most often. Not surprisingly, the highly rated 3.00 riders are most popular and fill 3 of the top 4 places. (Kyle Bickley being the only non-3.00 rider in the top 4 picks). Adam Roynon is the highest averaged rider to be picked. chosen by 2 people on 9.67. (Max Clegg, Luke Bowen and Ben Morley are other 9+ riders to be picked twice). 23 teams entered means 161 places available (160, as one person picked a rider who isn't in a NL team). But out of those 160 place, only 32 riders have been chosen. They are (with number of times chosen) :- 21 Drew Kemp 18 Jason Edwards 17 Kyle Bickley 17 Leon Flint 10 Jack Smith 9 Danyon Hume 8 Mitchell Davey 7 Jack Thomas 6 Danny Phillips 6 Jordan Jenkins 4 Jamie Halder 3 Tom Brennan 3 Georgie Wood 3 Henry Atkins 3 Danny Ayres 3 Taylor Hampshire 2 Ben Morley 2 Matt Marson 2 Max Clegg 2 Charlie Brooks 2 Luke Bowen 2 Adam Roynon 1 Josh Bailey 1 Alex Spooner 1 Layne Cupitt 1 Tom Perry 1 Richard Andrews 1 Connor Coles 1 David Wallinger 1 Anders Rowe 1 Joe Lawlor 1 Ben Woodhull

It sinks to a low level when disparaging comment is made regarding stadium facilities over which the speedway promotion have no control whatsoever.

The commentator seems to be getting a wee bit better as we go along . Can't be easy commentating on a sport that you're not familiar with . I certainly wouldn't fancy trying to cover hurling or Gaelic football , some of the Irish names are harder to pronounce that the Poles and Eastern European names are

Wouldn’t be good to see crowds like this in British speedway. I know the commentary is not as you might be used to but I suspect he is working off a feed and perhaps on Polish t v they have commentary in between races. I just think that is great that you have live Speedway from Poland and on a Sunday afternoon when the weather is miserable. It will get better as the season goes on I am sure.

I swapped to polish coverage, I listened to the british guy for 3 heats but he was killing my enjoyment, I don’t understand polish but it’s just better

I love the new look, it is very refreshing, and more interesting to read as it is now. Great work, Speedway Star !

At Swindon you could see the improvement in the youngsters as they were led round by Leigh Adams, who would sometimes slow down to ride with them during a race, and in after the meeting rides with them as well showing them how to position themselves on the track. So a team or national mentor is what is needed for the youngsters.

I think Shanes has the potential and his grass track background shouldn't be a disadvantage. Many youngsters progressed from the grass to the shale in the 60's, 70's and 80's. If he is prepared to listen and learn he would benefit from an experienced rider taking him under his wing in the way that Steve Lawson mentors Bewley.

Tactical Substitute rule does not apply in any competition which is played out over two legs.

If only other teams had a brown envelope handy to pay for them....

Jba had a little nibble coming of 4th bend but gave him room. Then lots of space on outside for Worrall going into 1. He choose to try and clamp. Just a broken leg seems he got off lightly... Speaking of lights... they no very good

Check out the heat starting 10.15 and then heat 15 at 28.00 secs. Young Woryna in action yesterday.

Yes it looks like its all gone Pete Tong yet again. Met office shows light rain late afternoon getting heavier as the evening progresses. Looks like it could be a wasted journey but we will have a better idea tomorrow morning.

I'm pretty sure that's what I said Thank you for the confirmation. It's not expected to appear on Freeview due to space/cost considerations and they are reported to be still negotiating with VM over cable carriage.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how many more knives have you got left for the rest of the season?

My opinion is based on it being our first meeting of the season. Leicester have already had one meeting at home. add that to the fact that they have a very good looking team more than capable of beating everyone at home and it’s realistic to think they will win on Monday. I am still going up to cheers on the boys and hope we do better than I am expecting but there’s a few places where getting a result will be difficult and this is one of them

Best wishes to Stevie. Was in for a big season imo. Hougaard or Lasse Bjerre as the replacement.
