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!

No Dan or Lambo. Basso maybe. Don't think he is a bargain on a 6.81 myself. Was at reserve as well

Every ref I know has the regs with them.

You could always pick up your Farewell to Armadale programme from this year.I’m sure they will have few left over.(this years never arrived on time for the match)

Hic! I'll drink to that.

Could put 3 teams together with all the riders that are supposed to be going to Leicester so far….

So the one who insisted that Poole had to have choice when they raced Plymouth in the QF as Poole finished higher now changes his tune. Forum pillock Slovler. For factual reference. Leicester are League Champions, clear winners of the Championship League. They therefore carry priority to decide who has first pick in Play Off finals and are under no requirement to forgo that. If Poole hadn't put testomonial before League and Play Off this situation would not have occurred. If the Play Off cannot be completed Leicester are Champions based on League positions. Morally, ethically, pragmatically.

The finalists have been known since the 2nd of October, Poole were either not riding or riding in the Cup and Leicester were holding Cubs matches. Why?

How much do you want back?

Pairs will take precedence, more prestigious.

If there not some thing fundamentally wrong with the composition of the track surface and drainage at Leicester,most tracks with a few hours of dry weather and a guarantee of no further rain can usually prepare a track which is raceable.Considering it was purpose built there seems be a lot of problems with it.

His special friend Paul ?

not sure what you're trying to achieve with your comments

You only have to watch him to see how talented he is,superb style and in control of the bike.He will go far with the bit of luck you need in this sport IMO.

So what is with the middlo profile pic, a pic of a doughnut would be more appropriate

Rain has stopped, don't know how much there was as I was in my pit... could hear it around 6 am though. Forecast says possibly another shower at 11am. Depends how much the track dried out yesterday... which was a really nice day for drying
