Steve Worrall absence weakens the Aces, anybody argues otherwise is either on a wind up or an idiot Simple as that really

To be fair you can only beat what's put in front of you. Records will show Swindon won, anything else is only opinion. So it doesn't really matter.

whos name is on the trophy end of

All these BV fans and all of their wind ups are hilarious, all we need now is Gavan saying we will win by 35 points and we'll have the full package! Brilliant, keep it coming.

Quite simple. The countdown clock is for 2 mins. Riders must be in position waiting for green light at zero. At zero the green light comes on. If a riders front wheel isn’t in position and rider ready to drop clutch, they are out.

easy people , its been a good review so far . dont spoil it with east and west fighting talk (txt)

Didn't it occur to you that the UK border agency might be at fault here. Thing is you don't know why , how can you point the finger at anyone, you lost get over it s* it happens.

You're only jealous. We were far away the best side in the league last season. The unbeaten winning streak showed that. Why don't you admit, you keep saying that Gavin is a troll when you are no better. Your problem is that you can't see the bigger picture, all you you see is Poole.

Or both

What type of protest were they riding under. Did they have placards attached to there bikes saying we are protesting. Ffs ride or dont ride simple not say we will ride but have a good whinge about it in the process. But thats Edinburgh for you they Whinge more than my b*tch sorry meant to say wife for any female viewers looking in.

RIP to a true sporting legend.

After watching another NUFC win Mr Tsusami was probably delirious so i think we can forgive him this time.

It's o/k he's colour blind

I'd rather scoop my eyes out with a rusty spoon than suffer him.

Sour and bitter when we lose? I don’t think so. I am quite gracious in defeat. Not that it happens very often over the last 15 years.

Don't you mean Green light? Bit worrying really if you think the red light means go when driving.

Agreed. I think you guys should stand up for your right to be stupid.

Zielona Gora v Grudziadz - 1st race 3.30pm UK time

I thought rene rode a captains race in ht 13 sure mr riss would have done the same the throttle works both ways !

That's just farcical. If it rains for the meeting in 3 weeks time it means your fans won't have seen speedway for 6 weeks! Whatever the problems, rationing the sport is not the answer.

Different track and different promotion unlike the Poole v Lakeside meeting. Sometimes it's better for people in glass houses not to throw stones.

Without knowing the law and how visas work, shouldn’t proctor of sorted this out months ago?

I'd have thought it's common sense to allow a guest when the situation is out of the rider and club's control. Not sure teams riding under protest does the sport any good to be honest.

Bearing in mind the number of cancelled meetings we have had since the introduction of the fixtures list I would've thought it would be imperative to amend the list now instead of waiting till the end of the season, like last year, when clubs needed to play 3 or 4 meetings in a week just to get them in.. Surely, we are not going to do that fiasco again...... It needs to be sorted NOW.......

Since 2014 Worrall has progressed from being a National League rider, through the fast track reserve system to his present position where he has the second highest average in the CL, only Nicholls, on an assessed average, is above him and the third highest average in the Belle Vue team. There is nothing in that history to indicate that he has achieved his level and that he will not progress further. Those who have actually watched him at the NSS this year have seen performances which showed that he has made a further step up the ladder and that is why we shall be weaker without him on Monday. It also shows the paucity of an argument when those making it feel the need to exaggerate what has been said. Nobody has claimed that that he is going to be a big star or, that he is going to score double figures every week. What we are talking about is his immediate form and a meeting on Monday, not what might or might not be the situation in months to come. Time will tell how far he progresses but there is no doubt in my mind that we have not yet by any means seen the end of his development.

Meetings between these two rarely disappoint and this was another cracker watched by a huge crowd with plenty of travelling support , from Ht1 that saw Doolan and Worrall passing and re-passing right up to Ht15 that saw a typically spectacular ride from Chris Harris there was value for money in every race. Big crowd, great racing, close score, value for money and a meeting done and dusted in good time, more of the same each week please, the speedway season has started.

Just caught up with the last few heats of this on YouTube after going out earlier. Gotta be said the Polish league do most things better than the UK but which imbecile came up with the rule about not being able to award a race? Wroclaw were robbed of a draw there. Woffy and Drabik a mile in front of Doyle entering bend 3 on the last lap and cos the Torun junior had fallen it got re-run!!! Pathetic decision and a 5-1 turned into a 3-3 and they were robbed of a draw. Surely now if you’re last and out of contention you just need to drop it to get a re-run for your team?? Scandalous

but we all know what happened in the past workington bend over backwards to acomodate others and get shaffted by others when it suits others

It's a shame, but the majority of fans don't travel in dodgy weather anymore, and who can blame them.

He's never scores that at the NSS. If u wanna look at someone from Scunthorpe then look no further than local lad Jason garrity who has dropped 1 point from 11 races.

Cracking meeting that. Really enjoyed.

I should be a team manager

What over Kildemand? Never!

You are a cock of the highest order i will say no more to you the rest of the forum know the score.

Watching on http://v4.ustreamix.com/stream.php?id=polsat-sport

Another thing needs pointed out is that anybody can enter through the " consessions gate "at speedway" it appears to me the it is only relevant to football.If this correct perhaps they need another sign up.

well great meeting and to see 15 heats and beat the flash the cash tigers brill night

Lambert for Vaculik and R/R for MPT both significantly weaken Leicester. I could see them struggling here.

From what has been said elsewhere, Proctor has the correct paperwork to race in the Premiership, it's just the paperwork for the Championship that he is still waiting on. Also worth noting that Workington DID get a guest facility for Proctor for their meeting tonight against Edinburgh...presumably because he DOES have a visa, it's some extra piece of documentation that is still missing.

Just back and the enjoyable away day's to Berwick never let you down. On the night we just fell short and the Bandits on the night just shaded it and well done to them, but has already been said it was a fantastic advert for the sport with both teams not giving an inch but also raced in mutual respect to there opponent. Not too dissapointed as we were royally entertained and will take the point and move on to next week, looking forward to my next trip to Bandit territory already.

sold out and this is Nice 1 Liga match we're talking about, not a season inauguration and against Start Gniezno... too bad I can't be in Lublin tomorrow but I'm flying to Gdansk next week to watch my team live for the first time this season

Credit to who was texting the updates this evening. Never have I read a more balanced account of a meeting. Full marks.

Stevie has aimed big in the close season and so far has looked to have stepped up a level. What he may or may not achieve is very open to question. I wish him well in his recovery, certainly the National side will miss him as let's face it besides Woffy, Cook and Worrall there isn't anyone else considering for the SON particularly at the NSS. Lambert as the U21 a given.

No it’s not! Just because you say it doesn’t make it true.

IOW Post Match Press Release Isle of Wight 48 Belle Vue Colts 42 Shale starved speedway fans were served up a feast of action and controversy as the Isle of Wight ‘Wightlink’ Warriors launched their season with a victory over the Belle Vue Colts at The Andrew Younie Smallbrook Stadium tonight. In a meeting that contained almost every incident imaginable, ring rusty Warriors were immediately on the back foot as first new boy Danno Verge and then Chris Widman incurred penalties for starting offences. This allowed the Colts to build a four point advantage but it didn’t take long for the home side to record 4-2 heat victories and by heat eight the match was tied at 24 all. In fact the Warriors were on their way to four 4-2 heat advantages in the space of five heats as they built a four point lead of their own by the interval. The last of those came when Colts Kyle Bickley took a crashing fall in heat 10 which stunned the good sized crowd in to silence, however, much to everyone’s relief the young man from Cumbria was able to get back to his feet and return to the pits unaided. Looking ahead to the final five races it was clear that Belle Vue had lined up their big hitters for the crucial closing races and with Danny Ayres as spectacular as ever and Georgie Wood always in the thick of the action, the visitors harboured hopes of an away victory but it was not to be. Heat 11 gave Ayres his third race win with partner Ben Woodhull in third and the Warriors lead was cut to two points. Bickley won heat 12 showing no ill effects from his crash with Scott Campos and Adam Portwood filling the minor places, then drama aplenty in heat 13 with Ayres passing Warriors Ben Hopwood just as Wood pulled out with a motor problem. Warriors Ben Morley (pictured) then broke a primary chain with a lap and a quarter to go and had to run over a lap pushing his bike to pick up the vital single point. He made it to the chequered flag with fifteen seconds to go roared home by fans and team mates alike. This pulsating meeting now took another twist when in heat 14, Warriors Chris Widman got slightly out of shape and collided with Colts Woodhull. The race was stopped and somewhat controversially the visitor was disqualified for causing the stoppage of the heat. The race result was awarded as a 3-3 and so to the final heat with Morley and Hopwood against Ayres and Bickley. From the gate both Warriors showed first with Ayres in red hot pursuit. A good pass moved him by Hopwood and to just metres behind Morley but then disaster struck the visiting number one who tried an outside surge to pass Morley but ran out of space exiting turn four and crashed to the track. Again the referee had to stop the heat and after a moments deliberation disqualified Ayres and awarded the race 5-1 to the Warriors. So ended a quite remarkable night of speedway in which fortunes ebbed and flowed and the rub of the green landed Warriors Way. After the meeting Ben Morley was quick to praise an all round team effort and went on to say “It was a great way to start my season with the Isle of Wight. I had one or two machinery niggles but have started to sort them out – one thing for sure, I don’t want to have to push the bike home for over a lap on a track this size again! “ Warriors: Ben Morley 12+1, Danno Verge 6+1, Scott Campos 7+1, Chris Widman 5, Ben Hopwood 11+1, Jamie Sealey 1+1, Adam Portwood 6+3. Colts: Danny Ayres 12, Paul Bowen 0, Kyle Bickley 8+1, Joe Lawlor 9+1, Georgie Wood 7, Kean Dicken 0, Ben Woodhull 6.

Learn what “hindsight & Irony” mean & then perhaps we can have an adult conversation. Other than that....bye!

And too small to say his 7 point home average from last season is a truer reflection. 2nd in the Open meeting (a star studded one at that) and top scoring on 13 plus 13+1 and one dropped point in the home match gives a much truer picture of his scoring capabilities at home so far this season. Seems evident to anyone watching him that he looked to have taken a bit step up this year. Completely unreplaceable and RR is way to weakening.

Thought you would be crying on the Lakeside V Ipswich thread trying to work out how your so called team got humiliated. But no, we find you on the Poole thread as usual. As a matter of interest Skidder said the virtually same as me. But his was “unbiased”. Lol.

Looking the best team of ultimate athletes with the best equipment isn’t going to mean jack unless you get results
