Scraps again... Oxford must have decided to have Kerr back, so we'll pick up the left overs... again The website says he was signed 72 hours ago, I bet after Cook's performance last night Stewart Dickson must be searching around for his receipt today. A heat leader is needed, anything else is just tinkering around at the edges

You need to get out more. Try going to Glasgow, Workington, Redcar, Oxford or Scunthorpe for example. Broaden your horizons a little.

Kendo Nagadrabik...

Well your post is about speedway skids,majority of posts on recent poole threads have pretty much been garbage

First time I’ve seen Leicester this season but I would have said Becker was the biggest issue in that side, only 5 points at home from a guy people are clambering over to be in the GPs isn’t a great return when the scoreline made the home side look so dominant.

Don’t go to any other track as you’ll get 15!

Oh come on I know you’ll want to justify a win by making claims you’d have won anyway even if Ipswich were at full strength but we all know that’s not true. Klindt 7 points from 6 rides and Batchelor 6 points from 5 isn’t particularly impressive. I think King and Ellis would have improved on that. End of the day a win is a win, Birmingham were handed a golden opportunity and grabbed it with both hands which is all that matters.

God I miss Peterborough and Somerset

Still stunned by how many thought that Oxford were a great side who would win the league . Could never get my head around it.

No but to have both is going to be twice the expense which was my point

There is no doubt he has under estimated the resolve of Speedway supporters locally and indeed nationally. He was warned about this eighteen months or so ago and to not underestimate the strength of support, but scoffed at the mere thought of it. The Speedway club is now his biggest problem and shows no sign of going away. The pressure is obviously building hence his recent rant. In fact we don’t need to make him come across as an idiot, he does it for us.

Maybe not if he was somewhere else, but at Birmingham, he's now their 5 and is showing good signs of being up to the challenge

What a condescending prick that guy is..acting like the big man Infront of 10 ringers.. embarrassment of a man and I hope he fails badly and then gets hurt badly...in a financial way of course..

If it’s about cost then pawlicki will be the one but if they are serious about team strengthening then I’m not sure he is, pawlicki is riding well below his best for whatever reasons, he is a hard rider who can mix it with the best, can anyone at Birmingham bring the best out of him ? If so then letting him go is not the right move

I think if I was Buster I'd just keep quiet because I think they have dodged a bullet. If he wins his appeal then any team missing a couple of riders will have carte blanche to say they are not turning up to a fixture - possibly at King's Lynn - and that'll damage his business far more.

I would say it was 100% correct... No Doyle so Emil takes as many of his rides as he can.. Much better to see Ipswich race than six of them and a guest... And watching Emil race is always VFM so the more he rides the better the meeting..

There isn't but Oxford deployed a tac sub on ht 9 for Cook in yellow) and both Riss and Tungate came out in yellow!

I bet he would still be there if he'd carried on his debut double figure performance

Wow, thought Dickson would have learned from previous seasons re Cook. He’s had one good meeting for Oxford at Sheffield (dodgy filters and all), next thing he’ll be signing Batchelor

You won the meeting fair and square no arguments from any Witches fans …. But to say that King and Ellis wouldn’t have done better than Batch and Klindt is farcical You won and it’s good to see you competitive

It has always amazed me that clubs don't take on some proper professional marketing people to drive footfall into their stadiums... They will each spend literally hundreds of thousands on their riders each year, who hardly anyone in even the next street will recognise, yet a very minimal amount on actually promoting themselves.. A strange business model..

According to the poll it's not looking good for the Pole

I know Ipswich were running RR, but for one rider to be in half of the 16 races seems wrong somehow.

Welcome back Emil, thank goodness they sorted out the gremlins finally

Utter shambles hope lessons are learned from this farcical pathetic meeting

lemon can be sour

The issue start Marshall’s have got is that you can call them forward but because there is now a clock riders will garden & then sit back until the clock hits 20 seconds then come forward knowing they won’t get excluded .

Or pronunciation. After telling us he has pronounced Boughen wrongly he carries on saying it wrongly.

Sensitive lot on the south coast

Doesn't matter what time you start them as long as you start them on time and get the meeting moving along once you do with the threat of rain around... none of this happened

The team could be the Royal Wootton Bassett Hounds?

His admission was not good enough me Mark .. Its scary to see how out of touch he is with what is going on seeing he's a local lad . Thou i would love to the speedway come back at a new venue its become just as important to me to not to let Clark and Taylor Wimpey get there way with the Stadium . I just hate the fact that the lies and corruption might be rewarded

There's been a backlash to his appearance at the Blunsdon site. To be honest when I spoke to two local councillors, the Green one said it's a shame about the Moto Cross, and the Red one didn't seem to care. Not enough peeps bothered about local speedway these days. Swindon becoming a dormitory town for commuters to the south-east now, recreational stuff disappearing, just more houses everywhere being built on sporting areas.

Can you provide the rule you would rely on to back that up? I can't see one. Contrast that with 010.5 d - facility available when a rider is competing in his own national championship.

The rider who could overtake Sayfutdinov? He is holding that position down.

If it's one of you naked, NO THANKS! .

I have just found this page. I have lodged my objection.

Kemp's fate was sealed after he ended up in Jake Mulford's pocket around Sheffield imo. Craig Cook for Drew Kemp should ensure that Leicester finish 4th now as Cookie will give them a bit extra at reserve when it comes to away meetings.

What about the new "double tac sub" rule might have livened things up.

Pawlicki. Some fans will say keep him just because of his higher profile but the reality is that Pawlicki is likely the most expense rider in the team who's actually performing the worst.

It wasn't particularly understrength - ask Ipswich - but very inconsistent. And with Lindgren, it isn't now. And last night, the stadium was packed out.

Yeah, but on a positive note, at least you can use it as an excuse when you drop an aggregate point next month.

The white-wash statement on the BV website is as short as the meeting was long! Nice of Lemo to single out "Our fans" who "showed their patience as we tried our hardest to complete 15 heats"... and to hell with everybody else?

cash is king.

Janowski much deserving of more than he’s scored so far.

Some people are just so ill informed and want to believe every negative thing they hear about the sport.

I use a Chromecast too. You can watch any live stream, and videos from YouTube etc. It's great!

At least those two might actually look for one though!

Having been looking forward to a Dad and his 2 lads weekend at the Grand Prix Round 2 in Warsaw we had brilliant day watching some excellent racing and the whole day went smoothly and as planned. Our flight home Sunday morning was an early one , we met and had photographs taken with Chris and Jack Holder , we met Jason Doyle and his pit crew all at the Airport which was a good start to our trip home. We had unallocated seats on the plane back to the UK and expected to be separated which was fine ….. the boys boarded as I followed on after only to go and find my youngest lad sitting next to the current leader , the one and only Jason Doyle with Simon Lambert sitting in front. As you can imagine my lad had the biggest cheesiest grin ever to be seen ! Both Jason and Simon chatted pretty much most of the flight home sharing stories and offering some banter. Jason also took a keen interest in my lads Kart racing and was more than willing to look at some photos and ask about the sport which made my lads days. To think Jason had been to work only a few hours before and come away winning the Grand Prix and still take time to talk and show interest in my lad is a day we will never forget. We now look forward to our next trip to watch Round 8 in Wroclaw only this time we’ll be joined by her indoors so I’m guessing they’ll be a bit of shopping and sight seeing involved !

Another Gimmick IMO.Not really required.
