I was there last night (I have been involved in speedway for 50 years including riding) & agree 100% with what you say, but the record books will show Paul Stark excluded & the race awarded to Ryan Fisher - what a joke! Dan Bewley- yes a real talent, rides the bike properly & rides with his head, with the right back-up & good luck will be a GB star in a few years.

Yes ......... with 6 man teams... already tried & it didn't work even with a different race format will make little difference Back to the basics please!

Does anyone know is the WTC run-off being shown in the clubhouse?

Again well said Aroundtheboards...... AGAIN agree 100% always stand back & look @ the bigger picture Big with the positives & not it's the "school holidays" & we have no home meetings!!!!!

Well said Aroundtheboards! Plymouth have a good exciting team this year & have the potential to have MASSIVE CROWDS, yet what is being done to get the crowds in? sweet F.A. I suspect. I think they are the only team in the whole of speedway GB without a current website, so come on the Plymouth management PLEASE PROMOTE & make the club the success it can be.

This is all a sorry state of affairs, if the reason Keven Jolly "blew his top" was because of the guest facility for Chessel who can blame him? He has placed such a lot of time & money into Mildenhall - yet the sport would appear to be run by a team of halfwits. Speedway needs a huge shake-up starting from the top & a few heads pulled out of the sand. I have been involved in Speedway for the last 50 years & I for one would not put any of my own money into the sport - only because of it's current state.

Great race from 2 british stars of the future.......... But I get spoiled,I see brilliant racing like that every week @ the Oaktree arena. The race the other week when Paul Starke went from last to first in one move has to be seen to be be-leaved @ that was in heat 15!

A few facts: Poole's track could be sorted easily in 1 week with the right equipment (road grader being the most important), materials & the current decent weather. How do I know? been there & done it. In my past life as a future speedway rider! I have also worked on the track including completely relaying one. A track that has WAVES will only get worse!

Agree 100% it's got the makings of a great meeting, Somerset have surprised a lot of fans this year with their "not as strong as normal" team - but averages dictate what team you can have. All Gary's team are still young & improving they are all racers & all love the OTA. Glasgow have a great team & were most peoples title favorites before the season started, some it would appear have been attracted by the Ashfield dollar. I don't know what the team spirit is like in the Tigers camp - but that could have the biggest bearing on Friday's result & indeed their 2016 season, I for one will be traveling to the OTA for what should be a trilling meeting between two super teams.

I think Terry Russell is pals with both the Mike Bowdens.......... The one from Plymouth is a notorious second hand car salesman the other know nothing about does anyone?

Marketing for local support + speedway hardcore wanting to save the club.

Assuming there is a successful businessman or woman willing to take over the Devils, how-about the powers "that be" allow a Race meeting Plymouth v Somerset with all riders getting a sponsor to cover their cost & all others DONATING MINIMUM £20 to watch the meeting. I think 2,000 people could be rallied to support the cause allowing debts to be cleared! I know it's a big if????????????

Best man to save Plymouth would be Chris Dawson (CDS & The Range) Nothing much wrong with the Plymouth team or the track..........Huge crowd potential on the doorstep.... only needs good sales & media people to sell the product. I have been in business for many years & can see NO REASON why Plymouth could pull crowds of 2 to 3 thousand every week. Next best man MIGHT be Matt Ford???? but no Mike Bowden PLEASE!

By the looks of the Sky B/V v Poole Simon is keen for a future as a model or a manikin!!! Seriously Guys & Gals Simon would bring a refreshing change to the existing Sky speedway team ohhh ohhhh ohhhhh.

I hope Leigh is invited to the end of season D&D where he can entertain with his brilliant Gary May impressions!!!!!!!

Great news that Leigh will has a team place & great news that Leigh is still keen to ride this season. The only effect Leigh's sacking will have or has had on Somerset is that some other riders have pulled their socks up! I have been involved with Speedway for over 50 years & think Gary's decision to drop Leigh one of the worst ever. Meanwhile I recon that there must be 50 or so (per week) ex Exeter & Newport fans now giving the Oaktree Arena a miss - that's something like £500 to £1,000 lost income!!!! P.S. On the whole I think Gary May is not such a bad person.

I feel sorry for Leigh as he has done exceptionally well for the rebels this year & certainly not the team member that deserves to be dropped! With my business head on Leigh has enjoyed good support this season from "Exeter" fans so the change will not good business for Somerset if they stop coming! Good luck to Leigh where ever you find yourself, with a team or retired............... Sorry.... Newport fans as well.

Sadly I see the Rebels hitting 60 tonight, although it would be good for the Tigers & their guest to make the starts & provide some passing opportunities for the on-fire Rebels.

Bring back Huggy..............HUGGY, HUGGY, HUGGY, ---------HOYE,HOYE,HOYE,

I have been involved with Speedway for a long time & consider that the teams Chris Louis has put together since their drop back to the premier league have been title favourites year on year. Just why they don't show their promise/potential is a mystery to me as well as Chris Louis & many others I guess!

Cradley............. PLEASE do not use rider replacement, there must be a rider somewhere keen to get a ride! With Bradley Wilson Dean Exiting that's all we need? Full commitment needed from both teams & management to make this a success.

Facts are BWitcher Nikki's actions could have caused serious injury. Facts are Nikki has done this time & time again. Facts are (I'm sure) you have never ridden a speedway bike or motor cycle & therefore would have no idea the vulnerable situation Greg was in.

People comparing Greg's reaction to Nikki Pedersen's move have never ridden speedway or any form of motor cycle. Facts are Nikki's move could have caused serious injury or worse, Greg's reaction was more likely to cause injury to Greg himself! remember Nikki still had his helmet on. It is true Nikki is Mr Nice Guy off track but transforms in to Mr Dirty Bast##d on track, should have been banned from many a meeting!

As said heat 13 should be used to advertise SOMERSET SPEEDWAY! not sure about UK SPEEDWAY as very few tracks produce racing like that on a regular basis. Even the 95 year old? Len Silver was astatic about heat 13 even if it was a Rebels 5-1. It has been great racing @ the Oaktree this year so speedway supporters "come on down" (or up) & see some more great racing.

If Alan Trump does "come on board" will he/the club honour their debts within the Speedway community? Plymouth has every chance to be a profitable club if the right people "PROMOTE" the sport to the people of Plymouth.
