That is certainly one of Buster's best thing's with Kids free. I'd have it as high as U21's. Personally, I wouldn't mind paying a junior admission price of a £5 if they got something in return i.e. free flags, air horns, bumper pack with signed photo/poster of the team or individual photos/posters etc etc. It's all about incentives to keep the youngsters coming back. By the time these kids turn 18 they'd then be hooked but it's then seen as "sad" to be given a kids pack. Maybe between 18-21 a free burger, chips and drink etc. Promoters need to think outside the box a little better.

Looks like Cookie has lost a number of sponsors, must be due to the lack of top level Speedway. Most notable is I think his biggest sponsor CFS are missing.

Happy to be wrong. Any win at Wimborne Road is a great win regardless.

If Poole don't hit 60 I'd be shocked

I'd say it's exactly the same reason why King's Lynn are desperate to hang on to Robert Lambert. Quality rider and a local. Without him, no doubt would hit the attendances pretty hard.

Whilst I agree to a point, women's football is growing bigger and bigger with good crowds and sponsorship. It's another thing Speedway has a challenge with. More and more every year are watching woman's football in comfortable stadium facilities. British Speedway stadia every year continues to crumble at the hands of greedy landlords. I would not be surprised in 20 years woman's top league and International football are regularly played out in front of tens of thousands and Speedway, what remains of it, a few 100. Woman's (manly) sports are rapidly on the up.

It was reported that Belle Vue released Craig for similar. GP rider demands for a bang average rider. He also publicly slated Belle Vue's management. So Craig has pretty much left himself with Championship Glasgow or Premiership's Swindon and Wolverhampton. Neither of the Premiership clubs management teams would be stupid enough to pay what his "Speedway Superstar" wages.

I agree, next season I believe will be his last UK season unless Poland's bubble bursts or until his early to mid 30's. Saying that, like many "Superstar" rider's before, he ends up being not all that by his mid 20's. There's just no way of knowing where someone's career will end up. Someone has to be a legend and another an also ran.

Who could really blame Robert if he's using the UK for extra spending money abroad. This year I'm sure he'll be pushing for SGP 2020 qualification, SEC to compete in, Ekstraliga and Elitserien. Plus no doubt Bundesliga is on his fixture list, possibly Metal Speedway League too. He's a very busy boy in 2019

That's one season, an out and out No1 has to consistent year in year out. Last year may have been just one of those purple patches. Not likely though, I'm sure Robert will be back up there soon.

We ain't going to get anywhere near Poole in the 2nd leg. To of stood a chance we needed a 10-12 point win minimum. A 2 point win, we may as well of been done 75-15. Overall over 2 legs a 1 point win is as good as a thrashing at home.

This nonsense that Lambert scoring 13 (9 more points) would have won the meeting is ridiculous. Here's why. Heat 1, Lambert 2+1. 4 point swing 42-48 Heat 6, Lambert 3, Riss 1. 2 point swing 43-47 Heat 10, as is, no result change there. 43-47 Heat 13, Lambert 3, Jorgensen 1. 2 point swing 44-46. What would of happened in heat 15 would be pure guess work but say he was in the heat and he won, Riss would have been in and he fell so 3-3. 4 point swing 46-44. A 2 point win for the Stars, not really an improvement over a 2 leg meeting. So prior to heat 15 Lambert would have been 11+1, but Riss would have only been 8+2 rather than 11 and Jorgensen 7+1 rather than 8+1. All in all, over a 2 leg meeting not good enough. Andersen is a poor poor poor signing. The middle order doesn't have that strength in depth from 2-5 and Palm-Toft is a reserve and nothing else, not strong enough in that position to have 6-7 rides to cover others. These first 2 meetings have made things very clear. There's no backup for Lambert and Palm-Toft can't make up for Andersen.

Possibility too of replacing both Proctor and Andersen for me. Solid replacements and push Kerr back down to reserve, has to be the only way forward for me.

The question is irrelevant, Riss is the better rider of the two. Would rather have Riss for the back end of the meeting than his programme rides done by heat 10.

It doesn't matter, only the top rider has to be No'1.

I just don't get why Riss isn't at No'5. Ridiculous to have Jorgensen in that position imo

I do wonder if he's running last year's gear to make riding British Speedway worth while. The only new stuff he's shown on social media has been the club covers.

It is life but also rude

surely you wasn't told just like that?

I get slagged for being negative yet nobody has gone for a home win I thought this team was meant to be good enough to challenge seeing as it's basically the same team as the table toppers Dear oh dear, you negative bunch. What's the saying "If you don't like it, don't go"

Never thought you'd pass up the track photo's, what's the crack with you Steve??

Correct and the legal system is moving onside with open air music and sporting venues. It is now the responsibility of the developer and agents to be frank and open with buyers and renters, if not, they are now liable and can be taken to court.

Snap, until there's regular reviews of the racing improving and Keith making things a little more supporter friendly I'm out. The AFA has just become a boring place to be. Will hopefully be watching them away but only at Belle Vue, Swindon and Wolverhampton.

The weather system is moving slower than predicted first thing this morning. The rain is almost guaranteed from around 1730 - 2100. Only a 30% chance of no rain. A glimmer of sunshine a couple of hours ago but now the cloud is rolling in again.

Likely to be off, rain predicted all afternoon
