Poole will probably hold the key as to where Jack Holder rides next season as he is their asset and I think that they will tell him where he can go if he rides Championship speedway. Jake Allen is a possibility. Stefan Nielsen has sign as a asset for Swindon which would suggest that they are going use him for next ansd both Swindon and Sheffield race on a Thursday do that appears to be a ho go.

So assuming they are the next two and add Kyle Howarth to the mix, that would leave us with 19.15 for the last 3 riders.

Sissis has a Greek passport.

I would say with Somerset and Plymouth out of the equation we stand as good a chance as anyone else. As Jack Parkinson Blackburn did reach an age where he was old enough to ride in the last years Premier League until September of this year surely he should be given special dispensation and come in a 2 point average.

Okay then (1) Grajczonek 8.90 (2) Bates 5.02 (3) Bjerre 6.65 (4) Holder 7.16 (5) Howarth 7.18 (6) Parkinson Blackburn 3.00 (7) Greaves 2.00 Total 39.91

Not that bothered to be honest only gone to the meeting for the last couple of years out of habit/ New limit team (1) Craig Cook 9.88 (2) Josh Bates 5.02 (3) Jack Holder 7.16 (4) Lasse Bjerre 6.65 (5) Kyle Howarth 7.18 (6) Jack Parkinson Blackburn 2.00 (7) Jack Smith 2.00 Total 39.89

Not for me. Maybe but cannot see Redcar wanting to let him go.

Who mentioned Newman? Todd Kurtz at Poole next season I don't see that happening. Todd Kurtz is part of the Drillerman racing team sponsored by Peter Mole who is a friend of the Kurtz family. Holder and Kurtz can travel up to Sheffield together from Poole, and the Aussie's are used to travelling long miles for meetings back home Poole to Sheffield would be a walk in the park for them.

Something that our little group discussed last night Jack Holder and we came up with this team. (1) Kyle Howarth (2) Dimitri Berge (3) Todd Kurtz (4) Stuart Robson (captain) (5) Jack Holder (6) Josh Bates (7) Jack Parkinson Blackburn Get rid of Boocock and bring back Jack Lee Team Manager and Simon Stead as Coach.

Congratulations Somerset. The best team over the two legs, and the best team won in the end. The damage was done last night at Sheffield when Somerset took a lead back down to their place, and overall this season Somerset were the best visiting team at Sheffield this season. And like SCB has said no many had Somerset to do so well this season, me included. Very proud of our team (what was left of it), to get where we did on the rider resources we had was nothing short of amazing. To knock two very good teams as Glasgow and Newcastle really did take something.

Obviously I am hoping for a Sheffield win. But Somerset are such good team, already have a win at Sheffield so I cannot see anything but a Somerset win. Lets hope Sheffield can pull off the biggest shock ever and complete the Howarth Double.

Reading the updates looks like the writing was on the wall for the Diamonds when Kus was injured, very few teams could get a decent result having to replace a rider in the top 5 with reserves. The Cup appears to be Glasgow's to lose.

I don't think you can compare speedway to football, they are two entirely different sports. Footballers sign a contract to which will regardless them a guaranteed wage qin lose or draw. Speedway riders are paid on performance.

In a sport that is obsessed with making every team as equal as possible it is very difficult to see any alternative. The only other alternative is squads, and with riders been paid on performance again I don't see how that would be possible.

The semi final in my opinion was lost for Glasgow with the performances by Worrall and Bach at Sheffield, the Glasgow team were carried by a very good Aaron Summers, Richie Lawson and Nike Lunna. In the home leg, it was the reserves, and Lunna and to a lesser extent Bach, they had the perfect opportunity and should have wrapped it up by around heat 10/11, but they only very once had the aggregate lead once, and that was in heat 5, and I reckon by heat 10/11 the panic started to creep in and they bottled it. Did we get an advantage with the Guests and Rider Replacement, hand on heart I don't think we did, when I saw who was booked as Guests I thought that we would get roasted. Glasgow trying to buy titles, well if you got the cash to spend why not , anyone who complains about them splashing the cash is for just jealous. Play off final, its Somerset's to lose, the list of suitable Guest riders is shrinking by the day, so I think that we will be at a distinct disadvantage, and not forgetting that Somerset have already been to our place and spanked us good and proper so we really do start rank underdogs. But if by some strange quirk we do pull it off it will be known as the Howarth Double.

First off best wishes to Garcia hope the injury is not that bad. Now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VSfYCUFYDM Get in. First off best wishes to Garcia hope the injury is not that bad. Now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VSfYCUFYDM Get in.

The weather forecast for Sheffield on Wednesday and Glasgow on Thursday is said to be fine.

Well that is advantage back to Scottish Tigers for me. Always think that better off know what you are chasing by been away in the first leg. But lets be fair the Scottish Tigers should fine this a fairly easy win over two legs against us.

Meeting off.

If they do go with 2 British 3 pointers at reserves with a 40 points limit, that would leave 34 points for the top 5. The average points used by teams at the startof the 2016 comes out at 34.51. So implementing those new rules would suggest a weakening of the product. Those riders who have averages of 9 points or more could be forced out of the league due to the decrease while teams try to find a balance for their teams.

All depends upon what the points limit, stays at 42.5 then it will make more points for teams top 5.

Cannot nail that one him, nothing to do with him

Fully agree with about the riders, but I do wonder why you would want to punch someone in the head when they are wearing a crash helmet is beyond me unless you can aim a punch like Craig Boyce. Mechanics is a different matter, and Josh will pay the price for that, it quite a few years since Vissing got done at Sheffield and failure to control his mechanic I believe cost him £400. One thing it will do is spice things up next Sunday when Josh comes back with Sheffield.

Well its either the racing or Pizza Boy is brilliant company.

That s why I said fine for him and failure to control his mechanic which is what Vissing cop on that night. The money he earn't from the meeting will have gone in fines.
