That is all fair enough, but if Poole decide to race at a level lower than they really should be (and yes we know why they do) meaning they are a huge attraction for the best young riders and will more often than not are the best team in the league then you can't really complain about visiting teams being disappointing/a let down. You are inevitably going to clatter some sides, especially if they are injury hit. Its part of the deal. Winning is great and will keep people coming back to a point but eventually the lack of jeopardy will wear thin.

Don't know if Mitch McDairmid still fits, he would have done before the season started.

Apparently he wont be coming over here in 2026 as he is still in education, and I'd be amazed if he's on a 4 anyway.

Tomas Topinka does the track normally doesn't he?

He's a breath of fresh air but is going to have/cause a massive pile up before long.

I don't think he has struggled in the Premiership necessarily, I'd say his scores for Lynn have been pretty much what you'd expect. Glasgow, however, a different matter.

Three for Leicester according to updates, not that many. Despite their start to the season I just don't think Leicester are very good.

Well done Foxes 💪

Absolutely. No blame there that I can see. He continued to ride so why would he need medical documentation? The rule is bonkers, obviously somebody has pulled a fast one at sone point and spoiled it for everyone else. Some common sense could surely be applied as he has missed four meetings!

Odd take, dont think there's any blame attached to anybody, just a statement explaining the facts of the situation.

Precisely, there was 60-80% chance of rain from from 11am-8pm yesterday according to every forecast you wished to look at. I'm no fan of calling meetings off the day before but its not unique to Lynn and others have done it only for the rain to not arrive.

If he has qualified through being 4th in the British Final then he is absolutely entitled to take his place.

Cooper 'rested' according to the Poole v Oxford thread, I'd suggest if they'd not already won the tie at Cowley (and he wasn't riding Prague on Friday) then he'd be riding. Today has been very different to the forecast in Norfolk, which highlights the danger of postponing the day before.

He's in an NDL 1-7, I assume that entitles him to guest?

How much was he getting paid when he got 0 at Grudziądz last week

This is where we are at nowadays in the UK unfortunately. Riders just aren't interested in a wet track here when they can earn many multiples in Poland the next weekend. There is a 70-80% chance of showers all afternoon tomorrow and while they may miss Lynn clubs would rather not risk what we had at the Foxhole last Thursday I guess. The days of boilersuits and sawdust are long, long gone.

McDairmid riding for Zielina Gora in the Extraliga on Friday. Not sure he should be riding in the Championship if other leagues have priority over him on nights when Championship teams race.

Let's hope so, we need more of it in speedway.

🦁 50-40 ⭐

It is Luke's Dad, several on here could vouch for that. Also discussing it is fine but its gone on and on and on and got a bit silly (in BSF style) now so you can understand riders and their families getting fed up with it.

They do, although not really sure what that has to do with young riders being available during the week?

Lynn on Wednesdays, that's probably it.

That would only provide twelve riders though. I suspect if Cooper & Cairns weren't in it people probably wouldn't turn out in enough numbers unfortunately.
