superb heat 8 from holder

Harris's gating at normal standard for heat 1 Come on Bomber

You don't have the red button option with Virgin

yep, it's just crashed on me

Well done to Harris so far. certainly looks a World class rider today

I just don't know how the useless ref has kept his job. By far the worst ref around.

Heat 11 best race so far but has been a very, very poor meeting. Lets hope it gets better

Agree with that. So that means Lemon all day long

Nothing, but if he is included & wins it again that would say alot more

I'd like to see the old boys get in 1st Zetterstrom 2nd Povazhny 3rd Ulamek

After watching the clip of both incidence I would have excluded Nicholls on both occasions. In the first run theres nothing wrong with what either rider was doing. The fact that Nicholls pick up coming out of turn 2 warranted his exclusion. (Pause clip on 19 & 52 secs) Nicholls exclusion all day long. In the 2nd run THJ just got the edge on Nicholls for the run to the corner and Nicholls turns his bike way to early down the straight to intentionally hit THJ (Pause clip on 1.43 & 2.00 mins) On both occasions Nicholls should have been excluded

On a serious note fellas, how many do turn up to the NL meetings. I've only been a couple of times and both I'd estimate about 200ish.

This press release looks utter twaddle. No way is there any intention of bringing Webster back into the side later on. Seeing as you've re-declared the team, Webster can't be fitted into the side full stop. Priest will have to up his average for Webster to get his spot back but if Priest does that then there's no point in bring Webster back as there's no way that Kurtz, Newman, Atkin & Jones will be dropped. So basically, he's out of the team barring injuries and surely the boys career isn't gonna be held up for that.

That would mean 3 riders from every team not getting a ride until the league fixtures starting. Can't see that at all

Rob chose the right time. I just don't understand people saying he made a mistake. Here's the thinking. Harris was on the most form & most trusted rider we had yesterday. He was the only rider we could trust to get race wins. Harris was only ever going to be the rider to get the Joker ride. There would be no logic at all in taking the Joker ride in your own programmed ride. He may have scored the 6 points but that would have meant that Stead would have rode in that heat and no doubt scored 0 himself as he was awful. Tactical thinking is simple (and quite a few just can't grasp it). 1, Use your strongest rider 2, Only use it in a Tac Sub ride 3, Replace the weakest rider 4, Use it in the strongest gate position After all the above, THE TEAM made the right choice, Harris chose the wrong set up. Not blaming him as he didn't lose on purpose, s**t happens and all that.

Agree. Why do we British always aim for a losers medal????? The only rider to say they're there to win was Harris and he had a stormer of a meeting.

Me personally thinks he's GOD in World Speedway, let alone just Poland. He may never have won and possibly never will win a World Championship but in my life time he's the greatest speedway rider to grace this beautiful planet.

I think we done bloody well today. We may have come outside a medal position but to only finish 11 points behind the winners is some achievement in my eyes as I certainly wasn't expecting to be that close

I think the boys are doing amazing stuff so far. After such a poor start to still being in it after 15 heats is excellent. Lyon just needs to wake Steady up and we could do OK.

Simon isn't replacing Jake as only NL guests allowed for Mills & Mallett. Lambert doesn't qualify as he's a PL rider. Has to be guesting for someone else. What the hell is going on?????

With the exception of Edinburgh of course

I pull you up on that. I think they can see the bigger picture, and it's getting bigger every week. It'll be the pictures of their own ass's with their heads up them, in Shovlar's case, they will be in 3D also

That's what he ment I'm sure, an air fence at Rye I believe would make it more dangerous

I shall try to explain. This question has come up so often and it has nothing to do with the Chapman's not wanting an air fence, they have no one to put it up. We bought Oxfords old air fence when they folded to be used in all speedway events. Because they have stockcars most weekends and other events during the week the air fence could only be put up on race day and taken down on race day. On Monday, yes it was Peterborough's air fence and they had about a crew of 10 to erect it and take it down. To put it up took about 3-4 hours & took it down in about 2 hours. Our promotion on several occasions has asked for 10 volunteers to put up the air fence on race days and they could only get, off the top of my head, 4 to put it up but they couldn't make it every week and 2 to take it down (I offered my services for both). They even advertised in the local paper to asking for help and got nothing. They spent around £10k on a pissing air fence they couldn't use. I believe also that there is / was a rule that once a team uses an air fence at a league event it must be used at all times or face fines. Which, obviously our club couldn't commit to that. The promotion isn't to blame for this, I blame the KL fans who gob off at every occasion that we should have an air fence then can't be ass'd when helps required.

I don't agree. I think Lindgren only managed 4th to 1st because Ward & Woffinden where well aware that all they had to do was beat each other and that's what they'd try to do. When you watch that heat again they where watching & trying to knock spots off each other
