Have we really got to a point here where we’re gonna start threads just to have a dig at riders? I come here to avoid that, there’s a Facebook group that will be happy to have you.

As a retired Barrister I have had a look through the rule book on the SCB site and cannot believe how poorly worded it is. The solution is simple rip it up. Get the BSPA brains trust together in front of a legal professional and explain to them the basic rules. They will then write a new rule book that is easy for fans to follow and does not have loopholes like this in it. It reminds me of the definition of F1 “To design a winning car that exploits the rule book, without breaking the rules”. I for one congratulate the Glasgow promotion on their savvy signing.

Could somebody delete this thread?

Tapes, Fall,Fall,Tapes

Cant doubt craigs ability as a speedway rider. He just seems to have lost his way a little bit. I for one hope he rediscovers his form.

I have heard if Ipswich don’t make the playoffs Emil Sayfutdinov has approached Glasgow to replace Ace Piper. Must be really throwing wads of cash at this one eh Steve.

I hear that he has a very positive opinion about you, though

Not surprising, only time he gets by someone is when he rides through them.

Why do people on here keep accusing the Bates family of match fixing? there have been posts about this on various threads now and it is getting tedious as well as potentially illegal its no wonder they want to sell Leicester when this is all they get, if they decide just to pull out of Leicester and Sheffield at the end of the season due to all the comments they receive i wouldn't blame them

Poole know every move with team building, glasgows move is poolesque.

Not sure how we have egg on our faces!? No one has won anything yet! It's like everyone wants us to be annoyed even though we are not. Pretty funny tbh. Even Bagpuss is on his little I hate Poole windups lol.

Jye Etheridge and Brady Kurtz were given the same average when they first came to Britain…

Arranged so Leicester get some points

He seemed to stop posting roughly at the time of Workingtons first meeting at the new track, never posted about the first meeting and not posted since, I can only assume that he has had a falling out with someone close to Workington speedway, also noticable that no one that goes to Comet's speedway has commented on why, what, where or when, so can only presume it's being kept in house so to speak, THJ has been missed for sure by me if no-one else .

He was looking at it but saw they were at Armadale tomorrow and has went missing again.

Marcin would have made it very interesting and Pijper would have been more on the pace than Complin early on. Good meeting to watch just like the BSN meeting earlier. Updates site has several references to Glasgow riders stealing it on the line, never giving up would be my take. Brennan should be given the No2 race jacket with our recent signing, he's really toiling.

West Germany v Austria... 1982 World Cup Finals.. Cough! Cough!.. Move along now please, nothing to see here..

Don't worry Tigers fans, even with the strongest team in the Championship after the Tarasenko signing, Cammy will still find a way to lose the Final

No. 1: Pickering!

Must've been so slow in the meeting on Sunday that he didn't fall off until Wednesday

I'm upset.....but only because Oxford didn't think of it first. Ha. Cracking signing, and well done Glasgow. I obviously want Oxford to win, but there's another part of me that wants to see good riders racing speedway, so can't wait if Oxford and Glasgow meet in the playoffs.

Useless eh,you're having a laugh,I've seen Craig cook since he first came through the ranks at Buxton and up until recently was one of the most fearless,talented riders out there,he's obviously had situations that have affected him, culminating in the incident at Edinburgh.so was Shawn Moran "useless" prior to him packing the sport in because in his own words,couldn't race for Sheffield anymore after they resigned him.take a long hard think before you judge Craig cook again,he doesn't have to ride but deep down,still wants to and I also hope that he finds his form back.

It's the track and club everyone wants to to ride for to be fair.

Whatever grumbles I have in general there is one thing I will always hold in the highest regard and that's 'the speedway family'. There are many wonderful individuals involved in the sport and they've shown themselves to be true friends

Had to be seen on TV,very poor from him not to be at Lynn.I just thought I didn't see him last night,but he does like to be seen by one and all,centre of attention thats why i assumed he wasnt there.Time Buster started with an entire clear out,and not just the riders.

Looked a pale shadow last night, shutting off way before the bends signals to me he's lost it and should retire. Sad but it happens.

If Edinburgh can't fit the Poole fixture in then why not take the abandoned meeting result at 26-10 and award Poole the 3 point

No shock, well done Oxford looks like you have a good one in your new reserve. Good luck for the rest of the season.

That's funny Lewy, your name seems to pop up on every Poole thread going

Abblit was excellent, as was Kemp. The meeting itself was fantastic racing. Possibly the best race track in the U.K. and was exploited in every heat. A really small crowd though which was a shame. Pirates now with best opportunity to finish top.

Definitely stirring! Him or Lewy are not trustworthy!!

Won’t be long for the usual turd polishing by our esteemed manager , with the exception of Bomber and Ben that was as toothless as it gets. And well done to Scunthorpe good performance by them.

Sarcasm Alert. 2.56 more than Wood

What? You haven't heard! Peterborough's last match (currently with no date and no bearing on the play-offs) is going to be on 30 October

It's odd that it's taken until now for it to crop up. Absolutely agree, really looking forward to Oxford Glasgow match to see tarasenko and boughen. Throw in both sides top 3s and it's got classic match all over it.

Here's an idea. As you say you go to Leicester, why not go and tell him in person regarding your opinion of his abilities. No, I thought not.

Will be Oxford. It is always the Champ team that takes priority

There seemed to be a lot of people very disappointed that Poole fans haven't acted more hysterically to this signing. Most of the posts I've seen from Poole fans seem to accept they've been out manouvered. Anyway it will all be decided on track at the end of the day.

I don't do hate, life is far too short

Oh dear someone isn't a happy bunny today ...a glasgow team strengthening to try win the title trophy & stop Poole dominatiing again or a strong Oxford team or redcar from winning it .. that can't be allowed no way, the hate for tigers is growing it seems hmmm... I speak for every glasgow fan thank you the tigers management for at least trying & giving it a go thats all u can ask ...haters hate cheerio goodbye

Learned from the best

Ashton has been included, as the Reserve, in the GB U19 Pairs squad in Pardubice, along with Sam Hagon and Joe Thompson.

It was a rule, maybe still is, but one of the infamous “special dispensations” was invoked for Stoney which suggests it was a BSPA rather than an SCB rule

Maybe.Leicester can ill afford to lose this home match.I'm sure things will be kept in the family way.

Surely if Sheffield make rumoured changes, Kerr and Ellis will be available Was lovely to see A team of Bruv and Michael back in Danny's pit last night

Fantastic meeting, and it was difficult to pick your own rider of the night. Robert Lambert, Simon Lambert & Anders Rowe were all worthy of it. Seeing Robert along with Tai and Emil Sayfutdinov recently, it really brings it home to me/us, what we've been missing (I know Emil has been here all season), they are all sheer class and a joy to watch.

This is where the sport well and truly shoots itself in the foot,two top draw riders in Tobi and tai,replaced by Ryan d ( and no disrespect to him,he's a top class rider) and probably r/r if tai is missing.was going to go to this ( weather permitting) but not now if both are missing.this sport is on its arse and needs to be sorted out real quickly

Fricke’s Polish season is over, he’s a free man at the weekends other than GPs

After an awful season to be a season ticket holder, that felt good. Missed the win vs Wolves so last time I saw Lynn win was in May! Sure if we rode tonight’s meeting 100 times with those line-ups, we’d lose 99 of them, but tonight was that miraculous 1. The reserves were magnificent, not just getting the better of the Aces pairing, but picking up vital points against Brennan and Wright. Robert was simply sensational, rode his nuts off in what was effectively a meaningless meeting. I know it’s unlikely but praying Robert chooses the UK over Sweden in 2024.

There was me thinking Robert replaced a rider who's season had been finished by injury. To be fair the rule which determines Tarasenko's average is complete bobbins. However the idea that Glasgow will now waltz to the title is daft, he will make them stronger but their shortcomings are still present. It now makes it a three horse race rather than two. And I'd be surprised if they've had to break the bank to get him to ride....he's over here with bikes and a workshop etc already, his racing abroad is now finished and he's probably grateful for the extra meetings.
