How do you investigate if he had van problems or not? You sending the AA round to take a look?

Don't really get the issue. Leicester have announced that he won't have a championship team place with them next year as moving up to prem. He's obviously wanting sorted out quickly as possible and if Plymouth have done the deal what's the harm? Doesn't effect his commitment to Leicester for next few weeks

lambert ( ex tiger) will comfortably get more than etheridge so aces have somehow strengthened again ! advantage aces now (again)

As good as he is, Lambert ain't getting 15 on a track he hasn't been to for five years.

With Edinburgh unlikely to run in 2023, expect the BSPL to try to exploit this & coerce Tigers to join the Premiership. If the Facennas agree, don't expect them to be offered any assistance in assembling a competitive side from the current PL members who will prioritise their own self interest.

No surprise that under £100k for a full UK season doesn't appeal to many of the top boys really is it...

eh? lambert is an ex sheffield rider who always rides owlerton well... does etheridge ????

I hate the term choking, really disrespectful. I also think folk are being a but hard on Wright, there was a grippy patch on bend three/four which caught a few riders out. Just one of those things.

Isn't it the case that GI as a business buy and run stadiums until they have the opportunity of selling the land the stadium is situated on for housing or similar building development. During the intervening years they charge rent to users i.e. speedway/ Greyhound racing / football clubs and in some cases even play a part in promoting a particular sport. This latter involvement provides some sort of credence to them being interested in finding a new stadium where the displaced sport(s) can move to. But of course, this never happens because when condensed down, GI business plan is to buy sites that in time will be ripe for development - Period. Put simply, once GI get hold of a stadium, the closure clock has started to tick.

Charles and his rush of blood is going to cost us much more than his two points he would have scored Monday behind Musielak, still dont know what he was thinking. I know racers race but you have to use your head, anyway hope he recovers well. He is a big miss at Sheffield dont think Jye will be a big mis tbh especially away. Theres a lot of pressure (too much) probably on our top three, no way will Holder have another bad night, i expect double figures from him, Howarth too i think will step up a lot from Monday, Musielak will just do what he does and Sheffield will outscore us at reserve, overall i really dont see 12 being anywhere near enough, an early home 5_1 in heat two would surely set Sheffield up nicely. With Charles i would have fancied us, but anything can happen in sport as we saw Monday.

That statement sums you up,pathetic!

Plan B it is then

Nicholls would be excellent at Plymouth an artist on the small track.

If he pops out she might chuck him out. I hear what your saying., who knows.

Lambert's gating wasn't brilliant at nss , will find it harder to pass tomorrow

I don't see S Lambert beating any Sheffield rider personally but we shall see.

Good luck to the winner of this now very prestigious cup.

That must be for our table topping clash with Sheffield,,, the winner will finish top of the league and face Wolves in the play offs Maybe they have got him back so all the riders in consideration for next year can score zero. I wonder if there has ever been 4 engine failures in a race

Oh, they'd be offered assistance.... But they'd just never get it. Stay where you are, Tigers!

I suspect Zloty which I think would make the sign on fee around £34k and circa £400 a point

I think the wide boys are now moving in on football and rugby stadia. Show up as 'knights in shining armour', separate the ground ownership from the operating company. Use the club to launder money for a few years, run it into the ground, declare insolvency, sell ground for property development. Bury FC and now Worcester RFC spring to mind, but there will be several others at risk

That should be under investigation imo!!

Surely all it needs is a word from the lawyer...

Really disappointed we haven’t signed a replacement rider for wright who’s got a season ending injury, very poor from the BSPL to not allow it

You're not suggesting Lynn v BV will never be staged are you?

, oh don't wind them up.. Arthur Gruber will be getting in his tank Helga will be aroused Von Klinkefhoffen will be skidding around Herr Flick will be in checking his next Court date And The 2 idiot Airmen will be arguing over who's going to be Team Manager.. Meanwhile Danny Boy will have missed it all as its way past his bedtime and Daddy won't let such a rabble in to his Chateau in case they damage the Chandeliers. Only in (Poole) speedway.

I've watched a couple of BSN matches, and I agree that they do a better job than Eurosport. Eurosport seem to base their presenters on how good they were as riders, but I think Adam Roynon is the best rider/presenter/commentator I've heard. He also works well with Dave Rowe as a kind of counter-balance to Dave's full-on delivery. We also don't get long, lingering shots of tractors going round or wide shots of quiet stadiums - of which we get too much of on Eurosport. I hate to say it, but Eurosport coverage often makes speedway look boring. They could learn a lot from BSN.

Sad to see online that I have read the last edition of the Classic Speedway Magazine. I have enjoyed reading every edition of the magazine - from its beginnings as Vintage Speedway Magazine. Great shame that no one could be found to take over the magazine.

Middlo’s 26th trophy and won at a canter to be honest. The cup was won at Redcar and tonight at the after meeting conference it was admitted that the team knew what needed to be done without taking too many risks. A few things to come out of the conference. Matt Ford got on the mic and said Poole would be riding Championship next year but would consider going Premier league as long as the Tuesday/Thursday only race nights are dropped. Poole, he stated were a Wednesday night team and would only ride on a Wednesday. He said every one of the 1-7 would sign for next season at the drop of a hat, but knew that cannot happen due to rule changes during the winter. Danny King pulled out of heat 13 due to his broken finger. It was giving him jip all meeting and they kept trying to strap it up in different ways but he said it was a struggle to ride the high wide line as it needs a lot of strength and he was suffering. No meeting until the final now so he can rest it and get it strapped properly. Drew Kemp was asked about his erratic form and admitted he has got a lot of improvement to make. As usual he won heat 14 but it’s earlier in the meeting we need him to score. Nathan said the going was too tough tonight and he couldn’t get out of the start. But he did well at Redcar and received a loud round of applause. Two coaches going to Leicester plus many by car. Should be a good Poole contingent on first bend.

Agree. I expect about 11-12 from his 5 rides. It's not as easy to pass on as the NSS. And 5 years is a long time.

For what it’s worth there’s no rain forecast for tomorrow in Sheffield. Some light rain this evening though but no more than that. I honestly don’t think you’ve much to worry about tomorrow night. Assuming Robert Lambert gets 15, which he should, you obviously only need 25 from the rest. 8 each from Zagar and Kurtz, plus 4 from Brennan is 20. Blodorn will pick up a few and Simon Lambert is an upgrade on Etheridge round Owlerton. I see it being close but those last few heat advantages on Monday night have probably edged it in your favour. Its a shame it’s not both of our usual teams lining up against each other but at this stage of the year we know that’s highly unlikely!

Kurt did a season for Rye House.

It's very different riding against the home team than for. S.Lambert will do well to get 4 with only 3 rides expected too

Either way it is unlikely he will score less, the problem they have is that because Wright had his moment of madness instead of being 18 in front and almost home and hosed it is only 12 and the reserves will have to take 2 of his rides at Sheffield, Brennan could struggle too unless he has his gating boots on.

Have not of I never read lewy “of commenting” on anything.

I suppose its the pressure of the play offs

Semion was the one that started the 'choking' saying. I much prefer the BV'd it saying. Always taken in the spirit it is intended.

Thankfully it is Simon Lambert!

It was Matt Hancock. Health Secretary was a part-time job.

They've not been the same since Tony Hancock retired.... Or was it Greg?

Myself & others were looking forward to seeing Craig Cook, his none appearance must warrant some sort of punishment, a ban or a fine surely?

Come on you pirates bring home trophy 26

Come on you pirates bring home trophy 26, something your lot can only dream about

Hope he has a new van by then! He apparently broke down on the way to Plymouth tonight! Added to the fact his average is too high!

Precisely! This is how ridiculous these shi-sters stories are.

We did for donkeys years and cleaned up , thought we would give some other club a chance to win a trophy. Your next quesrion

In which case it begs the question why the BV match report didn’t say so. Belle Vue made a big thing of Hans Andersens concussion when he crashed in the first leg of last years final, it was even being mentioned before the match finished.

At least two of the clubs have had blank dates since the finalists were known, so there's no good excuse for leaving it till the end of October

People are getting their wires crossed Kye is guesting for Charles at Poole for Redcar on Wednesday not for Belle Vue at Sheffield Thursday

A shame. I enjoy watching Charles Wright racing here. Result a foregone conclusion though.
