Doubt it - certainly not got any better since I retired from attending meetings 3 years ago. Hottest and driest summer since 1066 and still the same old problem trying to run meetings in early winter on c****y wet tracks in c**p weather for the spectators. Never any urgency to complete the fixtures in summer - every club trots out lame excuses. No one is interested in solving the problem as the mushrooms* that are speedway supporters will turn up regardless to fill the piggy bank of the “promoters” * fed on s**t and kept in the dark.

Somebody stop him, does he not know it's off tonight!

A bit ironic isn't it? A Speedway event without many guests......

Take it you will not be going to next seasons Farewell Meeting.

Stop talking sense it will upset ppl lol

Shovel face has too be the most obnoxious self opinionated twit I’ve ever had the misfortune to read comments from he’s also the reason many fans hate Poole speedway

Old Bob speaking 100% truth here. I've been saying for years that they should rattle through the league, and hold the play off finals on the August Bank Holiday. Can move into September as a last resort. But no. Every year we fannny about in the cold and wet when nobody is interested and the racing is a lottery because riders are rusty and conditions are poor. Sadly it will never change.

Better off ignoring him. He must have repetitive strain syndrome with the same unsubstantiated guff he writes on here. If we come to tapes in 2023, that’s all that matters.

Lambert and Bewley could have ridden in the UK instead of for Smederna if they'd wished to.

Hopefully something good will come out of this whole debacle and Play Off meeting will be arranged far, far earlier next season.

Howarth was having his stag do!!

Absolutely at every step the scs team have eviscerated the arguments of Brandon estates and shown rugby bc to be biased .

Yet he was the first to come on here with news of the postponement!!

Thanks Mike for making me laugh out loud this morning :-)

I think it goes to golden heats if it's a draw after the 30 heats.

Replay? Are you kidding? My diary has been in tatters for weeks.

Let's hope this goes ahead tomorrow and may the best team win.

Perhaps here are too many competitions placing pressure on the more successful clubs. Those who make the play-offs will invariably reach the latter stages of other competitions as well hence the situation we are in now. By contrast, those who didn't find their seasons effectively over by the end of August in some cases just padding it out by running open meetings or, those who run NDL teams, able to use some of the remaining dates. Some years ago an attempt was made to address this situation. The top six teams went into the play-offs as now and the remaining clubs entered a second competition. Perhaps this instead of a Jubilee league ( this year) or what similar event we've had in the past or in the future might be a solution.

I think some promoters do see the flaws,but they know they can use those flaws to their advantage at certain points in the season.So they choose to turn a blind eye to it and hope others don't object to it.Then if more promoters want the flawed rule than not it will be voted in anyway.This is why we need an independent body set up.

Very good. But I've heard they are going to call it "Au Revoir to Armadale" just to cover all the bases.

They'd have said he was guesting for Wolverhampton.

P*ss up and brewery spring to mind.

Unfortunately though, brown envelopes can be very persuasive

Cue Hannibal Lecter jokes.

Yeah so much more important it needs to go to a Championship track with no issues! Err oh hang on.........

I think the word you're looking for is "complacency"

Think you will find this well, attended function went down very well with those that were there, I believe the supporters club raised a fair amount of money to help the club

I share your hope, can't see anything changing though unfortunately

It is so ironic that the main stated business of the Bates's company, PBHS (or similar initials), is water collection and treatment.

Whoever made these arrangements, and I don't care if it was Poole or Leicester, really should be asking themselves why the pay off finals were not held sooner. I was shocked when I saw that Poole were riding in the KO Cup on Wednesday the 12th and the Cubs were riding at BP on Saturday the 15th... Why?!?

Don’t forget the clocks go back tonight. Some might turn up an hour late.

Sh#t stirring would be my guess.!!!

Poor that.

4 years ago tonight the mighty comets made H18TORY by winning the league UTC

So it seems the Premiership Junior League has been forgotten about. The Southern section only completed 2 out of the scheduled 6 matches & no final has been raced. It's a pretty poor effort when you consider clubs only had to host TWO six heat junior matches this season but half the teams couldn't even do that!

2 swedish riders in the lineup is the requirement, in theory the swedes could be at number 1 and 2 so no necessity to be at number 7.

Need to be lucky if it is on unlike, Wednesday.

Capital F, small d if you don't mind.

To be fair to the ref... They probably thought that working all that out would have taken till Friday lunchtime... "Anyone got a box and 3 pieces of paper?"...

@Phil feeling threatened with the name calling.

Should have been switched to a neutral track then! It's not as if the Bates family don't have previous experience is it?

At least they had one......

The irony is that the week before all this started was remarkably nice and dry... but you guys were riding in the KO Cup final

Not confident this will even happen tomorrow either!

Not a chance drew will be kept on a 5.33 when Zach cook is sitting on a 4.92. Poole are incredibly lucky Zach had a really bad June/July and ended up at reserve or the playoffs and cups might have looked a little different.

I wonder what would work out more - the fans that Edinburgh bring to Glasgow for their 2/4/6 meetings, or Edinburgh fans that would go through to watch Premiership speedway? Can't be much difference.

They have mellowed to the infamous race night flyer sure it has increased to 52.

Normally very badly until it rather conveniently started clashing with Slovenian championship rounds lol

Berwick have good record of taking over the hill heatleaders from Glasgow in the last few seasons.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing what you can do with a phone nowadays
