It’s a kick in the teeth to guys like stoney and wilson and others who use to take this seriously and make it the most anticipated meeting of the season. but the BSPL have allowed this to happen

Go on the scunny/glasgow thread and let the poole gang resolve all your dietary and health issues,free advice for fans and professional sportsman!

Nobody minds watching riders who have having a poor run coming in last if it looks like they are trying their hardest for four full laps. Trailing round at the back looking disinterested or pulling up at the back on lap three is not what people pay to watch. Even when they are at the back they should be pushing as hard as possible to try and make the man in front make a mistake.

How’s wright got away with that he’s out of control out the start and cleans his team mate out.

Great meeting but no way should Wright have been in the final. Shame for it to finish that way

Lets face it the rules are written to be manipulated every season it makes the sport the circus it is and always will be

You still barred Davie?

Track was great. Riders gave us a good show. Ref was a crock!

Cracking meeting well done Redcar. Hope Richards ok that was awkward fall. Great effort bomber but no way should Wright been in final, great ride after getting the let off though. Great evenings entertainment

Excellent meeting again from Poland... Emil... And, a great ride from Tai to protect Kowalski... Polish Speedway... As we often say, if only we could run the UK version with the same level of competition and credibility...

How the hell has Charles Wright not been excluded for that?!? You can't just cut back on the first bend and expect nobody to be there!

So immediately loses any respect in recognition of a highly successful and entertaining 15 year career. Christ.

Then use R/R. Or slacken the rules slightly and allow two team changes whilst replacing an injured rider for a little more wiggle room. Even last years rules were better in not allowing changes once the league was under way except for a brief mid season window. Nothing will ever be perfect but it’s better than an end of season transfer frenzy just before the play offs by desperate promoters trying everything they can to gain some sort of advantage. Surely you want your team in the play offs to at least look something like the side that’s spent all year getting you there?

Looks like Scott Nicholls should of asked Patryk Wojdylo if he was coming back next week not next year!!

As a Berwick fan, could someone explain the concept of play offs, it not something I am familiar with.

But the cretin is online.

Deary me you are something else.

I've not seen one comment from anyone saying that was the right decision in the final, do you think Charles Wright should have been excluded?

Charles Wright is so wild he's dangerous he should have been excluded for that

Cooks keyboard trolls have appeared again.

Only if it’s stopped raining otherwise I’m sure he will be rallying the troops not to go out there.

I'm autistic, suffer depression & disabled. Finally a forum poster more fakked up than me Get this guy some help asap

Rather be fat than ginger

Come on the majority of us were thinking exactly the same! Just a few were brave enough to say it on here. Easy now to say they were talking guff now Sheffield have won but prior to the meeting I’d guess most were a little suspicious of the outcome and yes, we were wrong. Can hardly blame people for thinking that way when you have a sport here where promotors are telling fibs about broken pit gates to get meetings postponed, Postponing meetings whilst working on a new signing, riders going conveniently missing when they were a match away from attaining a higher average (Jakobson)..(Lynn again who’d have thunk it!!), riders dropping behind team mates to reduce their averages, teams making changes that will be legal but ultimately be over the limit before their next meeting has even taken place, clubs getting their water hoses out to flood the track to get meetings postponed etc etc etc you can go on and on and on. It’s a complete circus ran by con men. You really can’t blame people for being suspicious.

Surely this match should not be taking place - no suitable guests so needs to be postponed

I’m sure Cook hasn’t traveled 100’s of miles to perform below par on purpose, anybody who rides a speedway bike deserves the upmost respect as we have seen careers ended or worse so the absolute crap written on here sometimes needs putting in perspective. anybody watching Craig tonight can see his confidence is shot, he’s miles and miles away from where he was and the struggles he has it’s not nice to see the demise of his career. I’m no particular fan of his don’t get me wrong but this evening I really did feel for him and he’s been put a little into the firing line in being hired by Leicester. This well maybe have been an unpopular opinion but I doubt he’s feeling too great himself driving back up the motorway. If Morris hadn’t have been a complete idiot the team would have looked a lot stronger still.

As he had been all year - I said he was destined for the top when seeing him score 6 I think it was at Foxhall early this season and nothing since changes my mind. Shame for King in this meeting, without being wiped out in the first running thought he could've nicked that final. Well done 'blind willie' Dishington (no relation to 'blind Willie' mctell)

Cookie is really rattling around inside your empty skull.

But Emil is on his home track... you wait until Laguta shows whos the boss on his home track tomorrow

Dont think that fee will apply,what u think of the others who had the date in there diary only to go running abroad for rearranged fixtures there the ones who have let the public down,time for some to stand up to the poles

At least craig turned up unlike lots of others

The police were there as the guy could’ve died, not sure why you keep bringing this up? Do you get a kick out of someone almost losing their life? As you keep making sarcastic and joke comments about it.

That's the best thing about forums,,, they are full of total numpties to keep us all amused

Your a waste of air pal you would never say that to my face or anyones a stupid daft wee keyboard warrior go away & hide behide ur ph ..I never slagged anyone of personally why because its left for idiots like you to run away & hide ..I made a speedway point that's it ...its a speedway forum u don't like it ...get off

Likely he'll come, he'll have Emil and his nephew to hold his hand

Can see this being a bit closer than thought. Leicester's form has deserted them of late. As horrific as it is, I want to see Ipswich get top 4 purely to watch Sayfutdinov. Away win

Said this many times, the pre-season prediction threads are utterly pointless. The league winners will be who can be the most crafty and wheel and deal the best moves just before the play offs. They have to stop this sort of stuff from happening it’s a nonsense. If you’ve ballsed up your winter team building TOUGH. You’ve had 6 months to get it right ffs. Only changes that should be permitted during the season is to replace an injured rider.

I'd say this if Ipswich changed riders... What a crock of $hite. Riders have ridden all year and worked hard to earn their place in the play offs. Then come the play offs they not good enough as some riders can now actually be bothered to ride over here.... Woffy , Lambert, Laguta, etc Hope those riders dropped (Ellis, Howarth and Kerr) and not just those at Sheffield remember that when the clubs want them at the start of a new season, that's if there is much of a new season... What's the point of a 24 match league season? Just have 4 teams in the play offs with whoever wants to ride. 6 matches.... done Bv could add Zager and Zmarzlik (drop Brennan and Wright) Wolves Madsen and Lindgren ( drop Worrall and Schlein) Oh look its the Brits that have suffered.. and people wonder why we fail at the world stage

If we would prefer Leicester in play off than Ipswich then of course we can let you guys win tomorrow

I watched the Plymouth stream recently and Barker looked fat faced and unhealthy. Not watching what he is eating. Bomber less so but looks like he has put weight in his face and seeing him at Poole last week it was difficult to tell the difference between Complin and Harris coming up to tapes. I am a fan of Bomber and always enjoy his efforts even though the light is now fading slightly on his career. Still has it but we were all commenting on his size in the grandstand. Happy to hear it’s not pies.

Of course! It's an undercover Eurosport agent putting crushed sleeping pills in Leicester's pre-match tea urn.

British speedway is a joke..2 months ago I would have been happy when it needed to happen but this merry go round at the end of the season when there is nothing to ride for just sums up what a tinpot league this is..

Honestly you're a waste of air mate. "I'm a Glasgow fan and our reserves aren't good enough". Every thread that's even slightly Glasgow related. Surprised it's no on the clrc or pairs thread. Embarrassment to all Glasgow fans on this forum

Stadium owned by former promoter David Helmsley. Built on land leased from council. Current promoters lease from Helmsley. As folk know, Lions up for sale which will include the stadium lease as an asset.

Chin up ,not over yet,big turn around at aces

Slightly a side topic here but working life is full of people who are either unfit for or no good at the job they do!

It's just the start of the new workington comets.let the young lads get experience coz thats what it's about.Harry and luke should have been let go months ago.but the comets promotion are giving the team they put together a chance to improve.not that I think it will because the two mentioned are not going to get many points and that's where we are losing.theres only a few meetings left.just let the team get on with the season.but next season them two will not be riding for the comets.championship speedway needs introduced next season.then we will see a good team home and away all being well. This season is just a taster decent crowds that will be even bigger if we go into the championship.its a ten year plan at northside so just bare that in mind.yes we don't want to lose but it's our first season back.its been a great start getting speedway back to workington so just get behind the young team.we have speedway for the future get behind the promotion and the riders they need your support

That bloody useless Buster that couldn't give 2 stuffs about the Panthers has really pulled off a useless bit of business there,,, disgraceful Buster out

Turned into a lovely afternoon down at Northside. It was great to welcome the Belle Vue Colts their fans and the neutrals that made the effort to support us today thank you. Hope the Belle Vue fan that took ill just before start time is okay. Connor Bailey showed today what an accomplished determined racer he his rapidly developing into. It was great to see him get his max and regain the track record into the bargain. He was well supported by Luke Harrison another young rider who is coming along very nicely. Unfortunately the absence of Ace proved too big a hurdle to overcome a Belle Vue side that with the exception of jack Shimelt were solid throughout. Not quite sure why Comets didn't go with R/R at No 2 again today. Like has been stated already I found myself feeling for Andrew , Steve and all the team at Worky Speedway with regard to the performances of the Skipper and Harry M not just today but throughout the season. Surely the guys know that the consistently poor form they have shown for whatever reason has an impact on attendances and ultimately the promotion who have worked tirelessly to bring the sport back to Workington at unknown personal cost. I would like to think they have apologised for their showing over the two meetings where they scored 7 points between them from 18 rides.

The Championship fixtures this season have been a shambles.
