18 point max for Woffy... And a cracking heat 15 with Berntzon.. Brilliant to watch on slow mo how close Woffy, Berntzon and Majic were...

Woffy's story of last weekend will be worth a watch on his Vlog.... If it could go wrong, etc etc... Back on it tonight.. Not the most difficult of opposition but his fellow top four team mates have all ran lasts or thirds... Peerless so far...

I am sure the crowd would have been a good few more with him there than if he wasnt....

I was surprised Howarth was initially mentioned... I can only presume that Bomber (as the official BSP Guest), hadn't been consulted, meaning officially he hadn't personally ratified it and therefore signed it off?

And a Runners Up one too...

Writing them as ambiguous as they can means subjective interpretation comes into play.. Which then means clubs can use this to their advantage as and when the need arises.. And. As pretty much every club will need to use these ambiguous regulations at some time of their existence, no one will complain or challenge the process.. And obviously "in the interest of Speedway" trumps everything if all else fails anyway....

No... It was too dark....

And have the floodlights been checked?

The bad weather probably affected the flights into Netherton International.....

A perfect Bomber track... Horsepower not a major determinant, and just enough dirt outside on an otherwise slick track for him to exploit like so few can... Wolverhampton could do worse than see how Plymouth get their outside line working...

A fair few quid up for grabs so each team should be the strongest they can find.... Presume Woffy, Lambert and Bewley nailed on? After that? Cook? Ellis?

A fortunate "win-win" situation I believe is the modern parlance...

Bloody Bank Holiday's eh? If only it was a normal week, it would have been done by today I am sure....

Nicki P sees a gap and goes for it.... Ouch..... Jeppesen up at least.... Another air fence success....

A Poole fan as well, Lisa-Colette.....? Best not go back through any Poole threads of the past decade or so eh? Where's the official brush and carpet?

Brexit... All the electricians have gone back to Poland... What can you do eh? Thank goodness they eventually found someone... Edit: Anyway, nothing to see here. All above board I am sure.... So.... Let's get back to Belle Vue cheating. .. Booooooo! Belle Vue! Booooooooòoooooooo!

Me, You, and the vast majority of fans I would say.... A huge opportunity I would think over the next couple of years for the sport over here when (if) Poland release the riders to ride in more leagues. .. The top league has to be seen as "the flagship" in any sport so getting plenty of top two division riders from Poland over here into the teams (with top GP stars included) will be almost like a "new start" for the sport.. In the interim, having the likes of Doyle, Fricke, NKI, Holder, Kurtz, and Zagar over here means the top league has some "top talent" that doesn't also ride Div 2 so there is some demarcation.... The more the merrier, and the better the sport will be...

Especially when they have "five heat leaders"....

Let's hope so... The atmospheric conditions prevailing in the UK don't always appear as conducive to the healing process, (as other countries conditions seem to), when it comes to illness and injury...

And therefore that means that such convoluted nonsense would have been more credible and acceptable?

It is a pattern isnt it? Which makes Nicki P still doing it at the very highest level in Poland consistently even more impressive.. And the longevity of Hancock in the GP's even more impressive...

The Aces could have declared Zagar before the season stated as he fits the official average allowed .. But then he got injured but carried on riding elsewhere.... But also refused to ride in the UK so got a 28 day ban, meaning they brought Allen in... And after 28 days Zagar comes back.. And we would be in exactly the same place where we are now.. And everyone would have been "happy"...

Ahhh... Yer see, that's different... Coz He is replacing an injured rider... Who he had already replaced... Even though the injured rider he replaced rode in Poland because he was.... Errr.... Injured... Or something like that....

Wow.. Everyone needs to get there early then... The place will be packed out... I would use online personally to ensure I got in..

There are lots of things that mean you can't take UK League Speedway seriously... And only allowing you to keep your initial team would definitely be another one of them if that was the rule.. Especially in UK Speedway where any adhoc "one night only" team can be put together which is far and away different from the septet registered at the start of the year. A septet who could all return the night later after the wholesale changes the night before.. The very essence of sport is to improve yourself so being allowed to change your team as and when you need to is fundamental to that... All sports change personnel during the year, even the successful teams, to ensure they keep competitive.. Unfortunately, as usual, Speedway has made the transfer window rule less than clear which then leads to confusion and conspiracy theories.. Does the League Cup count? (It is a League then a Cup).. Is it 25% to 75% of all meetings? Or is it 25% to 75% of an individual clubs' meetings? Depending on your schedule/rain offs that could be significant.. Overall though it is a good idea, as clubs who struggle are bad for the overall business and brand, so the more competitive every team is, then the better the product is to sell..
