Rew not being at reserve after the semi has had a big impact... The Ipswich reserves are miles away from being good enough to ride in the top league unfortunately.. With Rew at reserve the two lads struggling tonight would only need to have tsken 3 rides each and he could have taken six.. As it stands the reserves will need to take 8 races which means not much hope of a Witches heat advantage in those races..

The TV deal will now be divided by 6 rather than 7 so a few more quid for each club.. I don't think a 14 team "big league", as has been suggested would be something the current remaining five teams would want given the revenue differential...

Doyle was a good six inches further back than the others... The starting procedures in the UK are laughable... The outside rider aims left, and the inside rider aims right... Referees are clueless... -

Nonsense... My first hero as a five year old was Alan Wilkinson... A proper speedway rider... Just like Doyle is.... -

100%... The issue was that not many are Doyle and Emil's level, hence the track beat them.. Emil lifted a couple of times and almost ran over Doyle, but just controlled the bike as if nothing happened.. Pickering and King seemed to handle the grip also, but the rest simply were not capable of attacking it.. Hence, the racing as a spectacle suffered... Best of luck to Ippo on Thursday... -

I am suggesting that they are of a higher level.. One is probably the second best rider in the world, and the other has been on the top step, and is consistently, wherever he rides one of the best riders on view.. Robert is a bit like Dan, genuinely talented to a top ten level, but found wanting in those "tough moments" that seperate the true best from the next best.. -

I get winning in a final is great... And Doyle and Emil, and Pickering to be fair, showed the track could be attacked.. But, honestly, the racing was crap... A whole straight between riders .. And I was there to watch the same last week... I am happy Ippo won, but it was rubbish to watch as a Speedway fan.. Steady's face did make up for a lot of that though... -

Box office too... Interesting to see how the two truly world class riders on show tonight could handle the track... Men and Boys springs to mind... -
