Agreed great meeting with lots of incident, hitmen fantastic side put together and deserved winners on the night, cook class when it mattered, morris, garrity also good value, everyone else did their jobs, falls when in points positions cost the hornets

Definitely going to be a big challenge for the hornets everyone is as you say going to have to perform, very glad to see a strong buxton side, should make for a great match.

newport 52-40 rye house il go for, without marc owen think that makes rye house weaker, and think we should get 9 or 10 from kyles rides if he is with the brummies which i assume he would be, rye house will keep it close early stages and hornets to pull away towards the latter stages

Worst track of the season imo spec from standing at mid point of bend 1 and 2, can't defend the promotion on this 1 shocking wtf wer they thinking,well done to weymouth though coped so much better than most of the hornets in the early stages. Todd was immense an kyle was even better, well done to them, sensational. All made for an eventfull meeting. Well done 2 both teams.

Mark Jones solid score as guest for scunny

simple facts are the league is what it is (covering a cross section of teams with different goals without it they wouldnt have a league) its full of experienced riders whov been around for a long time and have found their natural level, full of quality ex premier league riders who bring much needed experience to teams....full of commonwealth riders given an oppurtunity to ride over here, and the 1 thing that is lacking is quality british young riders at the end of the day......people can delude themselves about that fact all they want.... the league needs to be competitive and professional if is to be considered challenging and progressive, without all the experience, commenwealth riders, and experienced conference/national league riders who have found their level it wouldnt be.....stop criticising promotions for doing whats within the rules for the best of their teams.....until we reach a point where their is a wealthpool of british talent (which their isnt) then lets have a league where the few potential gems that are coming through face competition cos without it they aint going to learn or get better, plus they can get advice from better riders,experienced riders. with the development of the under 15 championship and the implement of a coaching team to develop british talent then hopefully in the next few years their will be the talent avaialble for teams to be built on a british basis the problems lie in a lack of british talent, from the simple fact that in the uk speedway is a minority sport that has regressed backwards and is no longer at the forefront of producing talented riders on a world stage or even domestically, every other major speedway country has production lines (to varying degrees) of talent the uk doesnt and it will take time for this to be rectified and come to fruition..... promotions are doing whats best for the sport as a whole in the uk......it is pointless moaning about riders being dropped until a talent pool of british riders exists
