Your dislike of the team and the track have clearly made you miss everything that’s going on with the stadium and has been for some time - it’s all in the public domain

Thank you for that response that emphasised rather than denied the point I was making. No one is doubting the quality of the track at Northside when it comes to competitive racing nor the commitment from Andrew Bain that has created the venue. But the team has struggled this year - and last after the temporary shutdown - and regardless of loyalty or the quality of the racing, many supporters won’t pay to watch a losing team.

It is sad to see Workington so poor and disorganised. When Foord wasn’t ready for heat one, which at Poole doesn’t usually start until 7.45, it was really indicative of a team who, Jeppesen aside, weren’t bothered. The expected disappearance of Craig Cook before half the season was out has completely destabilise the team, likewise Riss at Oxford. With a few obvious exceptions, I feel sorry for the ever dwindling Workington support

Another 56 days for breach of bail conditions. A lot of people hace been trying to help him and this is how he repays them? Surely it’s time to see him away from speedway for evermore.

Garrity’s assessed average is too high for Poole

Garritty to Oxford to replace Riss, Kennet to Poole. Averages fit

I’m not sure that’s a big secret so “outing” him is a bit late. Or are you wanting him to out you? Theres a few he could I’m sure, like Nellie from Workington, the Loverat and old Fred from Botany Bay

Does Tobias Thomsen fit - subject to BSPL approval as I think there’s a rule about needing permission to sign a previous season’s rider who wasn’t in an original declaration.

It’s not a fair comparison though as some teams have ridden very few matches. A clearer picture will emerge as the season progresses, but I’d be surprised if Scunthorpe make the play offs. Poole will be on top and one, or maybe both of the Scottish teams will be top four. Surprisingly, that looks like it’ll be Edinburgh as Harris seems to be really struggling wherever he goes. Redcar are looking strong, Berwick a bit hit and miss but I’d rate them higher than Scunthorpe. Oxford were always over-rated, in my view and, without Riss, need Sam to be hitting nearly 15 points per meeting. Plymouth looked handy for a while, even though losing Barker for a to injury was always a when, not an if, but having King missing is really hurting them. Which I think leaves Workington. The pre-season gamble, some call it folly, has proved all the doubting Thomas’s right. Maybe their only success this year will be snatching the wooden spoon away from Scunthorpe.

It looks like updates not covering ANY meetings tonight. Anyone know why?

Slater Lightcap?

Well done to Berwick. So many teams have already conceded everything to Poole this year - at least one did it before the season had started with their team line up - but the Borders’ fellas weren’t going to lie down. Poole are still the dominant team as is obvious from the snidey remarks from the usual suspects and haters, but Berwick never know when they’re beaten. It’s now up to the others to take up the challenge and put some oomph into the season. Will Poole still continue to dominate? Probably. But at least the won’t have it all their own way.

Neil Collins when he was riding for Edinburgh in the Powderhall era. The crowd used to loudly sigh on the rare occasions he made the gate.

Yes, being only 15 points up with one heat to go, Glasgow needed Leon? Do you not think that heat 15 line ups come after discussion between eligible riders and the manager? Cami manages the team to a resounding victory - and the second away win in 48 hours - and still you feel the need to criticise him?

Should be an easy win for Berwick. Glasgow have too many variables in their 1-7. Harris, Flint and Howarth should score well but it’s anybody’s guess how the other four will do. Meanwhile, Berwick look strong - at home anyway - and being led by the self styled chosen one - who has to now be thought of as an honorary Englishman - will spur them on.
