So who won it last year then? Time for your tablets, Old Bob!!

How has Lawson not been disqualified?

Just to let everyone know, all that can be done is being done. We have had unprecedented amout of rain this month. Last Fri I pumped off any standing water, Saturday I let it dry , was best to stay off the track, you can do more harm than good if you try and work it while it's to wet. Sunday I worked the track for 6 hours, it was bladed several times, wheeled many times, spun in, then graded, finally packing it for an hour with the lorry, if I knew how to post a pic of how it looked on Sunday I would, it looked really good. Monday and today we have had nothing but rain! My pump has been working since a week last Sunday. Sam has been up today to get any surface water off, horrible job in the wet and cold. As soon as is possible the track will be worked on tomorrow and Thurs, we are trying, very hard !!

I was walking passed a 'down and out' sat outside Tesco yesterday and as I passed by he started siinging... "Dreamer, Your know you are a dreamer"... I said.. "That's Supertramp".. And he said... "Thanks very much, I appreciate your positive feedback".. Baddum Tish, I thang yow... I'm 'ere all week...

Ben Cook is back tonight to lift the trophy!😀

Congratulations Poole BSN SERIES 2024 Winners (can see into the future obviously) 😉

We've got the NDL tail wagging the Championship dog. NDL teams shouldn't expect to race on the parent clubs race night unless the parent club is racing away that night. Similarly to have 2H and 2A, the principle of race night seniority needs to be revisited and changed such the senior club gets priority on the first meeting but not on the second meeting. All clubs will need to accept that they will have to race on their alternative racenight during the season.

Then get rid of them, so the rest of us have a sport to watch. If we cave in to the lowest common denominator, we're all done anyway.

Lewi Kerr was already declared but now is not allowed to ride I think it's fair game to do whatever the f@#k you like at this time

Apart from last year then?

Young Dan Ford is as soppy as his Father juding by his post on the Poole Website:- Poole promoter Dan Ford said: “We know that nothing is actually won yet, but the boys were formidable at Scunthorpe on Sunday and have put us in a very strong position of being the only club to win this competition. Well you would be as its the first time the competiotion has been staged !!!!!

Meant the size of the font but thanks.

I know it seems harsh to say that but they’re the rules, he knows what he signed up for, it’s not just been dropped on him out of the blue

That was hardly a choke. More a case of dodgy goings-on. Weather was terrible and the second leg was called off by Cradley around lunchtime, and all riders were informed. Then Cradley decided they would run in the rain after all, and reversed the call-off decision later in the afternoon. In those pre-mobile phone days Belle Vue couldn't get hold of all the team to tell them it was back on, and ended up having to borrow a couple of local juniors to make up a team. Then of course Peter Collins and Chris Morton were knocked off and put out of the meeting injured (Collins with the broken shoulder which would effectively end his career). That left Belle Vue with just Louis Carr and Pekka Hautamaki from the original team, and of course they were well beaten.

Trackrat is a bit slow, you have to make allowances!

Go back a page or so I already put it on here

In 1977 Gothenburg had a jet engine on the back of a car drying the track at the World Final... East Mids airport isn't too far away is it?

31 i think including the CL pairs

To think, in my heyday of watching speedway.....all tracks had at least 25-30 home meetings.......

Don't think you're a lone voice..

I actually think she has improved a lot and is quite good now.

I have never been a fan of using play off's in speedway to decide a league winner, but I have been a lone voice on here over the years. I accept it may have worked in the past to offer some good finals, let's be honest it relies on luck as much as anything. Let the league winner be the team that finish's top of the league. Right now we are seeing 'luck' being the factor in the play offs. Luck that the weather plays nicely, and come late Sept/Oct in the UK it's not something you would put money on. Instead of the league winner being the team that have been consistent from Apr-Sept, that team could have bad luck in one match and lose the title, so the league winner to some degree relies on luck in the play-off's. Recent years we have seen play off matches full of guest riders, and riders who only sign on once their lucrative Polish leagues finish. The biggest farce of all this season, there's only seven bloody teams in the league. If we the TV deal insists on this farcical play off situation, with just seven teams let's just make it that the top two in the league contest a play off final and let that be at the first week in September when we may still have acceptable weather.

Oh yes I'm gonna av extra chocolate sprinkles on mine in the morning 👍🏆 😀

Think he has found his level personally.

Lawson should of gone there

Agree most Clubs reluctant to race on their Alternative racenight,probably due to their own rider availability,once again I say riders are running the show to the detriment of the paying fans.I just wonder how many Clubs increase their attendance figures this season.

No I didnt know that Fromafar....... haven't seen Polish speedway for a while now.

Agree, when you see so many other jobs that are far more dangerous than speedway it does make you laugh when you read the old "they risk their lives for our entertainment " being churned out.

At this time? Any time I would suggest... A Mickey Mouse ran sport... Great to watch though...

Call them what you want most fans just want to see regular speedway at their home track.It doesn’t really matter who are top or bottom of the “guest” leagues. “

So you (and arnieg presumably) think it’s right that clubs get preferential treatment and first pick, due to the previous season’s poor performance? If so why? You're in essence being rewarded for being useless the previous year by having a free pick at the strongest rising star!! Complete and utter codswallop Oh and I’m not sure Jordan Jenkins signed up for any of these nonsensical rules!!

That was bigger than the 30-60,63-32 is 31pts,make sure your abbacus is working next time lol

Here comes the sun 🌞(not) At this rate it could be November Rain 🌧

Supertramp fan are we?

Simple to fix, either just have a champion based on league position or if we must have the farce of the play off's simply call them the Play Off Champions and the real champions the League Champions.

Ben Cook back for Poole tonight

its whats best for them as riders and i think doing other things would benefit them riders outgrow our second division all the time and new ones come in to take their place douglas and basso did it last year pickering following suit its just the way it is they will all be in the premiership so not lost to british speedway

I have always called them the P.Offs (and you can guess what my P means. Totally ridiculous driven only by the TV folks who want to televise the two meetings that decide who is the " top team" in the season. Decided on wet tracks in early winter, teams patched up with gusts due to injuries, all decided on a one off (or two off) set of meetings. Fine if its the KO Cup thats a knock out meeting, but teams performances over the season count for nought. With postponements and racing on off nights the meetings are a nightmare to organise. Rule fiddling to get fixtures P.Offs meetings agreed before the league fixtures are completed, Leicester's boglands track always seems to feature, Poole demanding that they have the second leg at home ...all causing fixture planning havoc and frankly devaluing the entire season jsut to win the P.Offs. If your are unlucky enough not to qualify for the P. Offs (its not easy with only 7 teams starting out in the race) then you season finishes some time in August . They'll never go cos' the TV people demand that they have a P.Off to make good viewing .. but why not still have League Champions, and the P.FFs could be renamed the TV Trophy or summat similar??

We've had about 50% of the entire months rainfall in just one week and twice the amount of what Manchester has had for an example. It's been the wettest September in Leicestershire for over 20 years. I'm not entirely sure what people think we could do realistically to make it any better?

Just a reminder that the Challenge is available on PPV from Tapes up TV at £15 https://www.tapesup.tv/ start time on Friday is 5.15pm UK time

Be massive money to entice Brennan or cook .. better get more raffle tickets sold at the end of season do

Trouble is when you need him to score heavily he lets you down, like at Belle Vue the other day.

Thanks to victor Garry i will donate the winners prize to the Ben Fund this week. I have enjoyed the comp this season and hopefully will do it again in 2025.

Congratulations to Garry. Many thanks to R & R for organising.

So we have a champion !! I think tonight proved once and for all that this Bookie is no mug lol Final leaderboard after 11 rounds Garry 1603 £450 Salty £50 Hilly —£3790 Daz s —£9250 congratulations to Garry- i will be in touch about the winning prize.

Have we, England, moved geographically?

Men just don't like women being involved in "their sport". It's as simple as that. No matter which way you look at it, it's sexism. Of course, there are bad female pundits but there's so absolute 🤡 male pundits too that have even 'Played the Game'. It's across ever male dominated sport

Wish they would stop using them helmet cams all we see is a rear wheel.

The biggest issue is having a home fixture on average every three weeks. Add in that next years teams might have to be made up of half NDL/half CL standard riders and my enthusiasm is burst. Im not sure Glasgow will charge more but I am sure the thoughts, frustrations and preferences of the customer arent even an afterthought. No matter how rubbish we can make it, or how many times we get it wrong, its take it or leave it.
