The ref was very inconsistent wasn't he. Bad luck or not a wins a win. Good luck in the play offs 👍🏻

Congratulations to Belle Vue on the win. Was a close meeting although not the best racing wise we have had. Bit of bad luck tonight. First Barkers bike stopping when him & Woryna were on a 5-1 and Gutted that KK blew his engine on his way out in heat 13 & had to jump on Barkers (of all the bikes🙈) as he had been brilliant in his 2 races prior which also meant he wasn't in 15. Sod's law that just cos the reserves turned up, some of the top 5 didn't. Much better from Woryna tonight. If only he could do this all the time instead of just now & then. was good to see him get up from his crash. Why wasn't he is heat 14. I'm really hoping that's the last we have seen of Barker Watching tonight, I'm not sure if Cook or Harris should be in team gb. Harris had a bad night but still managed to go from last to first around Zagar & Cook. I was surprised Cook was in heat 15 and not Fricke. Steve Worrall was great to watch tonight. Leaving Swindon & joining Belle Vue was one of the best things he did. Good luck to Belle Vue in the play off races. I'm hoping they go on to win the title. Some interesting talk at the stadium which would explain a few things. Talk is Horton isn't returning next year regardless of what happens with the stadium which might explain why no new signings and why he's not bothered about play offs. A ex rider & his dad are considering offering their services if we still run but just in the consideration stage at present. He was very good tonight. However that's one meeting at of several

This is going to be a huge task for us tonight. I think Belle Vue are the best team in the league when you look at their 1-7 and are very good away from home. A win or draw tonight & they go top. Think our reserves are going to struggle again tonight. Now we can't make the play offs, with Belle Vue having some of my face riders, I hope Belle Vue go on to win the title (just hoping they don't win tonight lol though)

I think they are the ones he will pick.

Exactly. We are yet to see Ellis ride at Belle Vue so he hasn't beaten anybody there & could score 0. I think Rosco will pick Adam but I hope for our sake nobody gets injured

It's a credit to both teams when you think 7 of the 10 riders short listed for the team GP squad are from these two teams 🇬🇧👍🏻

Lol very true

Yes as Bates has a higher EL average than Stefan If true then it looks like they were denied the change which makes sense looking at Lanhams EL average. Danny Ayres is in great form so good news for Swindon. Pedersen, Robson & Ayres good choices at Lakeside

He was coming in as a draft rider with only NL & PL experience when he first rode in the WL so can hardly compare them. Woryna has been brought in to the team in the main body and has experience against big names. I think Woryna has potential in a few years time just not yet. We watch him every meeting not just in one like you. It's not his fault as he's only a 4pt rider, it's our team building that has made it harder and exposes him although that said he should be able to score against some of the FDR. He would have been best at no 8.

SHEFFIELD star Jason Garrity has had to pull out of this weekend's Premier League Fours at Peterborough.

Unless Robson has pulled out & it's for him. If not then the rules must have changed again as Poole weren't allowed Robson to replace Newman as he had a higher EL average

But Lanham has a higher EL average than Stefan

It says on Twitter that Branford is no longer guesting and it's likely to be Leigh Lanham instead. That would mean Swindon would have no fast draft riders in their team tonight. Lanham also has a higher EL average than Stefan who's only a 3pt avg so surely that would be against rules?

@AJROSCO @SpeedwayGB All members of the Team GB informed,really pleased with attitude of the riders especially the ones who have missed out, 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧 I guess we should be pleased we actually have riders to decide from this year.

Why wait till 2017, you can have him now if you like. As for effort, Connor Dwyer puts in a lot of effort for the storm but that doesn't mean I would want him signed in a EL top 5. Bates was injured. He sat out of a guest booking Sat & had to miss his PL fixture due to a knee injury. Wed was his first meeting back from injury where if you ask Havvy, Josh was a doubt until Tuesday night. However due to your lack of knowledge on anything other than Poole, you can be forgiven for not knowing. 😉 What shows your lack of knowledge most is your comment about Woryna showing more form than Bates. Is that why Kacper is now at reserve with his average still dropping as can't score there, whilst Bates has scored so well at reserve he's moved in to the top 5 and even upped his average there, beating strong riders. Bates stays in the top 5 in the new averages as well as his average is nearer to 5 whilst Woryna is still 4.

Sad but true. Does that mean King's Lynn have as well? Personally I can't see either of us making the play offs. Could have been different if a change was made in May when it was obvious to us all that it was needed. Let's hope this doesn't turn out to be our last league fixture ever 😕

Bates rode last night for Sheffield. Has a lot of mechanical problems according to their website but came through it ok. Sarjeant is hard to understand as he scored really well for Ipswich a couple of weeks ago & then was terrible for us the next night. Let's hope he's turned a corner as he used to be really good so we know he can do it. I think this is going to be one of our toughest tests tonight esp with Jacobs now scoring well. Belle Vue scored well in their away win at Swindon last night. Our team is strange though as at home we have best the stronger teams like Poole, Woves & Belle Vue last time but lost to more average sides like Swindon & King's Lynn.

Haha and what about back in the real world. 😂😂😂

That bit of their post confused me too. 5 from 3 isn't good at all

Great win for Belle Vue who are looking strong. 1pt off the top of the table with 3 meetings in hand on Wolves (could go top after our meeting tomorrow) Sounds like another great night for Jacobs

Can we have the Sarjeant that's riding for Ipswich tonight. A paid max & Unbeaten in his 4 races! A full maximum for King

He's struggling for Belle Vue. His last 2 meetings at Belle Vue Leicester (1,1,1,0 = 3) Wolves. (0,0,2,1 = 3) As the Belle Vue riders & Tatum have said, there is no home track advantage at Belle Vue due to there being so many different race lines

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Are you seriously comparing Hans Andersen with Emil 😜 Emil has just been out for a while through injury so he has said himself that he needs to get him confidence back. When Holder struggled abit after his injury did you write him off? Emil is up there will some of the best there is. He's been a huge loss to the series. Sometimes when I read some of your recent comment on the SWC & SGP I think you must be on the wind up and can't be serious with some of the deluded things you say. Maybe it's a lack of knowledge or rose tinted glasses as a lot of average riders you like are apparently good enough for the World Cup but yet Emil isn't anything special 😂😂😂😂

Speedway GP websites rundown of the riders in contension. Thursday 21st July 2016, 11:10 We conclude our series featuring the Monster Energy FIM Speedway World Cup teams with a look at the Great Britain squad. They have been seeded straight into the Monster Energy SWC as hosts. Can they capitalise and win the Ove Fundin Trophy for the first time at Manchesters National Speedway Stadium on July 30? TAI WOFFINDEN The Scunthorpe-born icon knows all about winning world titles. He skippers Great Britains quest for Monster Energy SWC gold on the back of becoming FIM Speedway Grand Prix world champion in 2013 and 2015. A six-time SGP winner, Woffindens scoring power will be critical to GBs hopes of a first medal in 10 years. The former Wolverhampton rider no longer races in the British Elite League, so his Monster Energy SWC Final appearance in Manchester is a rare chance to see Britains finest in action on home shale. CHRIS HARRIS The Cornishman has been one of British speedways big guns for the past decade, making his Lions debut at Swindon in 2005, scoring 12 points. The Coventry Bees legend appeared in the 2006 SWC Final at Reading, where GB finished third the last time they appeared on the medal rostrum. Bomber has raced in all but one SGP series since making his World Championship debut in 2007. And few will ever forget his epic British SGP win at the Principality Stadium that year. ROBERT LAMBERT Lambert hopes to appear in his second straight Monster Energy SWC after announcing his arrival on the world stage last summer with an impressive GB debut at home track Kings Lynn, followed by an even better display in the Race Off at Vojens. The 18-year-old is widely regarded as British speedways hottest future prospect and has qualified for this years GP Challenge in Vetlanda, where the top three earn SGP places for 2017. The Kings Lynn, Newcastle and Masarna rider has also received a wild card for the FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship Final, and finished second in the opening round at Kings Lynn. DANNY KING The 29-year-old is enjoying the season of his life, having stormed to British Championship glory in Manchester last month to earn the wild card for the Adrian Flux British SGP in Cardiff. Despite two last places to start his night, King hit back with two seconds, before sending the Principality Stadium berserk with a thrilling triumph in race 19. With his form on the up for Coventry and Ipswich, hed love to cap a sweet 2016 with Monster Energy SWC gold for GB. CRAIG COOK Despite a rotten start to the season, plagued by engine troubles, Cook appears to be back on track for the Monster Energy SWC. The Belle Vue star is no stranger to the National Speedway Stadium shale and he will hope his experience at the track convinces Lions boss Alun Rossiter to hand him his first Final appearance. Cook last raced for GB in the 2013 Monster Energy SWC, scoring four points at Kings Lynn. But he has grown as a rider since then and the 29-year-old would love a shot at gold on his home track. SCOTT NICHOLLS The Belle Vue skipper is back in selection contention having opted out of the past three Monster Energy SWCs, and the former SGP regular offers the Lions a wealth of international experience. Having raced in 82 SGP rounds and 19 SWC meetings, the BT Sport pundit is no stranger to taking on the best in the world. He appeared in the legendary 2004 SWC Final at Poole, losing out to Swedens Peter Karlsson in a last-heat decider for the gold medal. How hed love to lay that ghost to rest in Manchester at his British home track. STEVEN WORRALL One of the shooting stars of the British Elite Leagues fast-track scheme, Worrall has made dramatic progress since being given his top-flight break by Swindon in 2014. That season prompted his parent club Belle Vue to bring him to Manchester, where he has become a star at the National Speedway Stadium, joining forces with twin brother Richie. Fourth in the British Final, Worrall is a man on a mission this year, and pushing his case for a Monster Energy SWC call-up. RICHIE WORRALL Unlike twin brother Steven, Richie hasnt had the benefit of racing in British speedways fast-track system, meaning he has had to hone his craft against the divisions big guns. The St Helens-born racer doubles up between Belle Vue and Premier League giants Glasgow. He has served as GBs first reserve in previous Monster Energy SWC tournaments, but will be keen to get his break in Manchester. JOSH BATES The two-time British Under-21 champion and World Under-21 finalist has taken some giant strides forward this season. On top of winning the national junior crown at Sheffield in April, he has also broken into Coventrys main team and is comfortably holding his own against some tougher competition. He will be a candidate for GBs under-21 reserve spot and his combative riding style should ensure his rivals wont get a moments peace if hes given a chance to race. ADAM ELLIS The Poole shooting star has refused to let a season blighted by injury slow him down. Despite two collarbone breaks in a matter of months, hes back on form. His efforts have taken him out of the Pirates reserve berths and into a second-string position, where he continues to beat some of the Elite Leagues top stars. He may have been raised near Bordeaux in south-west France, but Ellis is a Brit through and through. The World Under-21 finalist is also a candidate for the under-21 standby role. East Grandstand tickets for the Monster Energy SWC Race Off and Final at Manchesters National Speedway Stadium are still available.

Nicholls is struggling more than any of the other riders you listed on his home track and hardly scoring. Worrall has done well but it's very different racing mainly against reserves & 2nd strings to racing against top GP riders. Belle Vue is more of a racers track than a gaters track. I think there are already several threads open on this topic
