Heat 1: 3-3 (J Holder, Fricke, Iversen, Howarth) Heat 2: 5-1 (Patryk, Rowe, Edwards, Gilkes) Heat 3: 2-4 (C Holder, Basso, Pickering, MPT) Heat 4: 3-3 (Woffinden, Klindt, Rowe, Gilkes) Heat 5: 3-3 (J Holder, Basso, MPT, Howarth) Heat 6: 4-2 (Fricke, Woffinden, Iversen, Edwards) Heat 7: 2-4 (Pickering, Patryk, C Holder, Klindt) Heat 8: 5-1 (Iversen, Rowe, Howarth, Gilkes) Heat 9: 3-3 (Woffinden, Basso, MPT, Edwards) Heat 10: 4-2 (Fricke, C Holder, Iversen, Pickering) Heat 11: 3-3 (J Holder, Patryk, Klindt, Howarth) Heat 12: 3-3 (C Holder, Patryk, MPT, Edwards) Heat 13: 2-4 (Woffinden, Fricke, J Holder, Klindt) Heat 14: 4-2 (Patryk, Pickering, Basso, Gilkes) Heat 15: 1-5 (Woffinden, J Holder, Fricke, Patryk) 47-43 although it is going to take an almighty effort for the boys to do it. However, after last night I think Sheffield are there for the taking. Our best riders this season are probably 2, 6 and 7 and that’s their weakness that we need to exploit.7 points

batch telling it how it is. straights too narrow to take different lines entering the corner so no overtaking5 points

Well Cookie is the captain, so wouldn’t be doing his job if he wasn’t putting his views across would he. Many inexperienced riders in the Comets team The place in general just looks like a bomb site5 points

Workington gated well on Saturday, so if they can repeat that tonight, an away victory could well be on the cards. Plymouth’s track is like my son’s exam results; no passes.5 points

mains electric is a few hundred yards away , think its just the cost of getting it plumed in . you have to walk before you can run . but you more or less implied that worky had special treatment and help to join the 2024 shampionship , funding from the bspa and other stuff we only need one big light to operate and everybody has it andrew , steve and a good few workers/staff have worked many hours to get the northside track where it is today . a superb venue and improving all the time ..5 points

Oh here we go! The Hokey Cokey at Owlerton starting early this year? What are we, 7 weeks in to the season? And you’re already calling for riders to be sacked! How about giving them a couple of months at least to iron out any issues? Jenkins at Ipswich could hardly buy a point in either league first few weeks of the season, but is slowly starting to get his act together. Give riders just a bit of time before calling for their heads ffs5 points

So the guy who ignored British Speedway for many many seasons is after just a few short weeks back calling out the need to sack A) Young Brits just finding their way and whilst a little out of their depth are there because the the team has been front loaded to include him B A loyal experienced Brit in his testimonial year who currently is a bit of a slump Classy!!3 points

AMB Transponders the ones we use in speedway are more for counting laps and timing each lap and are really Only used in MX and stock cars and the cheapest version on the market not really for first passed the post to the 100th of a second or the speed that speedway bikes go www.mylaps.com we use them in mx you can log into the websight after each race and get all the information on each race also if the battery is fully charged in one and another is less than half power the fully charged one will get picked up before the half charged one Think how many time in Speedway GPs do we see the replay of a tight finish being shown to see who finishes first because they can’t rely on their transponders there really no good for our sport3 points

If its within the rules to make changes and a club has the finances and the ambition then I don't see the issue personally. The aim of the league is to try and win it after all.3 points

Awful track one of the worst I've seen in 55 years following speedway, but a win is a win worth the 400 mile trip on to poole 2morrow UTC2 points
-
What a god awful track. Feel sorry for anyone who made that their first time because it was an absolute snooze fest. No passing, and whoever gates is the winner. The old northside training track was better than that.2 points
-
Especially with 4 newcomers. Good to see them proving so many of us wrong. If claus can avoid his mid/ late season dip in form could be genuine challenger's. Tomorrow be the acid test2 points

No it would not, thanks! Worky did really well tonight. Plymouth is not an easy place to go to and get a win.2 points

Good to see the SCB reporting when riders aren't drugs cheats. On Sunday 12th May 2024 the Racoo Anti - Doping Team attended the Leicester Cubs v Belle Vue Colts National League fixture where two riders from each team were randomly selected and tested.All four riders tested produced a negative result.2 points

How many years do I have to bang the drum about the sport using more usable engines2 points

When you win you don’t look at the under performing riders whereas when you loose some fans on their back straight away, prime example when Sheffield won away at Leicester the other month Woffinden scored 5 yet nobody screaming for his head (he had enough of that in Wrocław!). Just seen Woffinden’s interview and might be a bit of reverse psychology re team changes to get a few misfiring riders firing, but personally don’t think TV is the place to air it2 points
-
If that's the only change then God help them but I suspect it will just be part of a puzzle2 points
-
Miles apart this year I’d say. Woffy is a winner, he wants the best out of everyone on or in his team. He isn’t afraid to say it as it is. Its not like he is lying!2 points

Leaves Milik on a nice average for Poole next season. He’s a better rider than the version Birmingham have had this season.2 points
-
But injury replacements are only allowed before the transfer cut off. You should have used guests from within the British league.2 points
-
Sheffield's top four are going to score a LOT of points. So Lynn really need to limit Howarth and the two reserves to scraps to stand any chance. Seeing Pickering ride is going to be like seeing an ex girlfriend out with her new fella2 points
-
Great news. Thanks for the update. He appeared to leave the stadium unaided, but with medical personnel around him, which was great.2 points

Well. Your getting your change you wanted. wont make you better though. Can’t be worse than milik though2 points

Team spirit probably is a bit iffy when your got 3 or 4 moaning faced Aussie's in the team if ya count Tai as one2 points

We’re 7 weeks in to the season, seven, Sheffield have just lost their first meeting at home to an excellent side, and already the panic has set in and riders and now fans are calling for changes?? They’re still sitting 3rd in the table with two meetings in hand over the two teams above them, and are almost certainly going to be in the play off lottery at the end of the season. Why the rush? We’re in mid May! I just don’t get it.2 points
-
The difference being that Belle Vue brought Lambert in from outside of the British leagues after the transfer cut off date, whereas Sheffield used him as a guest from within the British league as he had signed for Kings Lynn for the latter part of the season.2 points
-
Sheff won the league last year by making changes so quite clearly they know what they are doing and its big part of the sport..7 weeks is plenty of enough time to find form and in Howath case he waa Poor last year as well.The bottom line its each to there own how they go about it.2 points

Camera work is embarrassing. Onboard cameras may work in F1, but certainly not in speedway. Great race out front and we watch Howarth’s handlebars2 points

much that a speedway track is needed in the south west, you do wonder if this track is ever going to produce decent racing1 point

Feel for Brum fans, I called out the managements BS before a wheel was turned as I knew it would backfire drastically. The saying 'Digging yourself a hole' springs to mind. Your management have basically given up on the season after 7 weeks and that's not fair on loyal fans who've bought season tickets. Surely the Brummies fans must be getting fed up with the SHORTLIST line being dropped into signing announcements when we all know the shortlist doesn't even exist (It never has)1 point

Dan T replacing Jason (fractured cheekbone) at Oxford. Jason has been one of the few bright spots for Redcar this year, hope he’s not out too long.1 point

Well done Ipswich best team on the night. Sheffield have too many passengers. You can’t fault Kyle for effort but it’s points that win meetings. I think the trouble is he’s captain and got his testimonial coming up and the management have been very loyal to him. Big decisions ahead if we have any intention of retaining the league title. It’s definitely not happening with the current 1-7.1 point

Get in there you witches … how sweet that is after the vile nature of the Sheffield fans at the play off final nice to get payback and that’s without our top 2 hitting double figures !! Thought Stead was going to cry in that interview Witches fans back on broomsticks tonight Woofy lol1 point

Unlike Workington Plymouth haven't had any favours from the bspl,especially financially and help from the chairman in putting a team together so instead of being so cocky and arrogant you should be alot more humble considering.1 point

Criticism of certain Tigers to one side, that Workington side looks like it could do some damage this season. Zischke at number two is a secret weapon. He was outstanding on Saturday; he had pace, skill and with a bit more elbow, could easily have taken second from Worrall in heat six. You could see he was disappointed not to after the race. Vuolas and Vissing in the middle look like a pairing with lots of potential too. Like Zischke, they’re all-action. I don’t watch them often enough, but if that’s typical of their reserves’ input, then it’s that section of the team that’ll cost them this season. Having said that, they weren’t a million miles off and gave every single heat a good go. Also, great to see Craig Cook back to his old self. Sadly, it was against us, but British Speedway and the Championship in particular is a greater spectacle with Cook in it and flying.1 point

The points limit is to blame for that, I would think. I was down for the Scunthorpe meeting and have to say the track was not as good as previous seasons for entertainment purposes, but that won't put me off visiting in the future this season. If the VFM is still poor next time, it may limit any future visits. As for team changes, no point in just saying "I'd get rid of A, B and/or C" without saying who you'd bring in. Very few riders out there to replace with, especially at the "top end".1 point
