old bob at herne bay

Wow got that dreary heat 14 out of the way. Bomber Harris out again :-) :-) in 15

meeting getting more interesting - good effort from Thommo

Bomber Harris :-):-)

never give up Steve. If poole make the starts they will win races No passing.

dull as ditchwater. commentary team getting on my nerves. Sound off I think,.

splashed out on a BSN pass tonight expecting some racing ....... oh dear ..... lts hope it gets better later on ....... and Middlo gets a new watch.

Busy supervising the prepping of the starts at Wimborne Road for Wednesday ??

Good luck to all riders and travelling fans in getting to flooded west Scotland today. Especially brave ? Poole fans making the journey. Stay safe.

"Sadly, the bigger picture to the BSPL will be that it was a classic season. Underdogs reach the final, a huge comeback by Sheffield that went down to the wire. Regardless of Lambert coming in for the final, they will see it that GP riders want to be involved in British Speedway. By bringing Birmingham in to replace Wolves gives the league credibility again in their eyes, despite Brummies not being there on any sort of merit but having spent the last 5yrs flirting with the wooden spoon and survival! But still the BSPL think everything is rosy in the garden.... " yup ... sadly no need for any changes as it has been such a successful season ....... article i read in the Star quoted Birmiongham as being 80/20 likely to run in 2024 with only Mondays available thus obliging them to apply to run in the PL, and only for a 1 year lease courtesy of the greyhound promotion a Perry Barr. Hardly a a long term future, and speedway seems to stagger along year by year. Credit where credit is due though seems this season the PL p. offs and the KO Cup have been completed in a timely manner.

nw42 … agree that Lambert (R) interview whingeing was a minor incident compared to the downright disgraceful language used by Mr Woffinden. Hopefully we will not see him in British Speedway next season until the p.offs 2024, as he remains a WILD card in the SGP and will be in the Polish Leagues.

Mr. Woffinden disgraced himself again ( not for the first time) Last time he attacked a supporter, now he verbally abuses Ipswich on network TV. A very poor advert for the sport, genrating the WRONG type of publicity. A "WILD card" nomination for the SGP series is appropriate. What with whingeing Lambert (R) on Tuesday and now the swearing Woffinden, our British sports "stars" really do need to be better educated when speaking to the media.

Here we go again….. trying to run speedway in the wettest place in the UK at the beginning of winter. No doubt that Poole will find a dry Wednesday way before Glasgow have a dry day this side of Xmas. So disappointed that Oxford fell at the final hurdle - would have been a very well attended local derby vs the cheetahs, rather than a remote contest attended by a sprinkling of away supporters.

Agree with Mr shovellar here. Poole pirates will be very race rusty , and will not be happy in Scottish winter conditions on what will be a very heavy track prepared to suit the Glasgow team. They have an air of complacency about them and were lucky IMO to even get into the final after nearly losing at home to the scorpions. Fancy the Tarasenko Tigers to maul the pirates on aggregate.

Dictionary definition of a gust …….. “appear as a temporary or visiting performer or participant in a television or radio programme or other entertainment.” So however the speedway authorities want to dress it up , Robert Lambert was a gust for BV in the p. offs last season, and a gust for Sheffield in this years p. offs Whether he signed or not as a temporary performer makes no difference. As far as I am concerned Lambert should p. off from the p. offs or ride in the UK speedway leagues for a whole season . We don’t need mercenary riders.

A poole supporter commenting own a home side preparing a track to suit their riders - never happens at Wimborne Road…………lmao

Oh no ….it’s not just pro rata with attendance …..the difference is huge …..

and I have it on good authority that the stock car crowd spend much more on food and drink than the frugal speedway crowd

So Ippo folk can go and watch Ippo FC play Hull or Ippo SC race Sheffield.

SUPERACE , really you are having a laugh :-) :-)If you believe that then you…… no I mustn’t attack the poster. :-) :-) Anyhow back to the topic of this thread …..sensible move by Louis junior, as met office indeed does show 80% chance of heavy rain in Ipswich at 1800, 1900, 2000 this evening Good call.

As a mater of interest ..... 0 nada. and the season 2022 0 nada. Last meeting I attended was at Sittingbourne 2021. Before that Eastbourne. Before that Lakeside. Hope that helps you answer my questions ?

Probably more to do with the TV people schedule than any astute tactical move by Loius, especially as most Ippo speedway supporters seem to be non league football fans.

Gambo, Brandon Estates clearly have absolutely no credibility in this matter so far , but they still own the site. They do not have to sell the site even if they lose the current planning appeal. If the speedway /stock car business plan can be demonstrated to not be viable - that surely allows Brandon Estates to argue that retaining the stadium for sports/leisure use will provide no benefit to the local community.

Seconds away round 2 ... expect Sheffield to be unable to find a suitable gust and not agree to ride Tuesday ?????
