1 point of bloody winning it. Oh well Silver isn't too bad!

Garrity over rides and not sure his spacial awareness is the best, having said that I do enjoy watching him ride. Certainly a talent.

As I said I can't comment on track conditions but the amount of rain in the previous 24 hours it was never going to be a classic. Many other tracks would have had problems with a similar amount of rain fall. Just one of them things when you get weather like that. Perhaps it shouldn't have gone ahead with the level the riders are at? Coventry's track as been far far better this season after last year's shambles of the stadium employing a Polish taxi driver. Edit: Coventry had its most rainfall of the year Friday and rain continued Saturday. Don't know what people expect sometimes regarding track prep when the weather has been like that leading up to a meeting. I don't think track staff could get to the track until Sunday morning.

I wasn't there yesterday so cant comment on the actual state of the track but the amount of rain all day Saturday and some early Sunday morning I'm not surprised if it wasn't ideal. Coventry's track this season have been far better than last season now they have a genuine track man in. Sounds like a lot of hard work to get the meeting on.

We all know Bees can pull a result of at Poole we've done it often enough. Hopefully a Bees win but head says Poole to win by 6.

Would it be shown on the speedway.gp website? I think its shown live to countries that dont have a host broadcaster?

So no live coverage tomorrow?

Scott will be favourite to get the wildcard spot!

Denmark Australia Poland Sweden That's my prediction.

Denmark Pedersen Kildemand Sweden Jonsson Lindgren Poland Janowski Pawlicki Australia Holder Doyle Thanks for running this. Enjoyed it.

If I remember correctly the wind was recorded at 45mph in Coventry that night. It must've been windy as Tatum was nearly knocked over by it. The first heat was 2-3 seconds slower than usual and the race times steadily got slower. When you get race times slower than what Dwyer and Knuckey get at NL level then you know you have a problem.

USA Hancock Manzares Poland Janowski Pawlicki Russia Belousov Kudriashov GB Woffinden Harris

Poor from the Laguta brothers. A two horse race now with USA a comfortable 3rd.

I think it will be fairly tight with 3 teams challenging but it looks to me GB will fall a little short. Hopefully I'm wrong!

That will make it more interesting.

Horton would have budgeted for the season and would expect decent cash flow coming in for a Poole match. That didn't happen. So more than likely we will be running at a loss for the season unless a big crowd we usually get for Poole turns up for another fixture (doubtful).

I'm happy with that so far.

Do we know who's likely to replace Hampel?

Keep the same 4 riders for me. Might aswell give it a go.

Cmon GB. Straight to the final will be a great result!

He wasnt allowed too! The forecast was terrible on the day, people would decided very early on not to go. Yes you'd get a slightly bigger crowd but not to the extend of covering the 8 quid reduction per admission. Would I have gone if I wasn't working? Maybe, but im one who usually goes regardless and there isn't many like us anymore. If they did something like Swindon did with Sky tickets then maybe people would've gone anyway as they've already paid. Even so it didn't show the sport in a great light did it and those newbies wouldn't have returned. The whole thing was a shambles any way you look at it.

If it was cheaper prices it wouldve been more of a financial disater. Do you really think many more would have attended in that weather? Especially to recoup the loss per entrance fee? Poole usually draws good crowds but it had no chance with the forecast as it was. I'd get dropping prices for the likes of Lakeside that makes sense. Why pay for something when it was almost certain to be called off at heat 10. Who said it was 10,000, Horton was quoted as saying as tens of thousands. Be interesting to see what he says tonight regarding it all. Think its more of a threat to the BSPA than anything else though, they will be in a tough situation with only 7 EL clubs. The only issue I have with it is we are looking for a new stadium the whole situation probably doesnt help regarding investors and planning etc.

If he has indeed lost thousands which suspect he has then I don't blame him. Who would want to throw money away at something you have no control over. Crowds have been decent enough this season but last week meeting will now likely mean we will be running at a big loss for the season. That cannot be right or good for the sport.

The staff was under instruction from GoSpeed on the track prep. So yes the track staff worked on the track but was told how to do it.

I agree with you he should ride in Britain as other gp riders do but to drop him from the GB team is just the wrong way to go. He wants to ride in it and as a fan I want him to ride in it too. We can make a final here, that would be good for the sport in this country.
