How long are Swindon allowed to stay at the current stadium if a new one isn't built?

I think the racing has improved since heat 9. Garcia has been very impressive. Congratulations to Glasgow on their win 👍🏻

What I do like is the team riding from the Glasgow riders. It's good to see as it doesn't happen as much anymore in speedway 👍🏻

Not overly impressed with this so far although I'm sure the rain as affected the track as have seen videos of better racing there before. Still better than Monday's but it has nothing on the EL meetings we have seen on sky so far. It's great to see such a huge crowd 👍🏻 Ayres celebration made me laugh when he won the race. You would think he had won the league lol.

Looking forward to this meeting as I have heard really good things about the Glasgow track and stadium. They look a good team as well. It can't be any worse that Monday's terrible sky meeting.

Garrity is scoring more that his average at no 2 and beating heat leaders such as JK, Doyle, Hans, Cook, Nicholls so would hardly call that a bad second string. Please can somebody provide some solid facts that support their argument that Newman has PROGRESSED more that Garrity in the last 2 years either in the PL or EL as I can't find any.

I was talking about in the last 2 years there has been not a lot of progression and in that time he hasn't had a huge amount of injuries, no more than Garrity, Auty or Howarth I was talking about in the last 2 years there has been not a lot of progression and in that time he hasn't had a huge amount of injuries, no more than Garrity, Auty or Howarth Reserves do get awards. Garrity was Coventry's rider of the year in 2014 & 2015 as well as the riders rider of the year. Our current reserve Bates was Sheffield's rider of the year. Nobody is disputing that Newman has been a good reserve over the last few years, the point they are making is that he is still just a good reserve. He hasn't progressed in to a rider good enough for the main team and in the last 2 years in the PL he has stood still. By now he should be in the main team scoring more than his average and be a comfortable heatleader in the PL but he's not. If the rule next year was riders who had been on the draft for 3 years had to come off, would Middlo risk him in the main team over riders like Kurtz & J Holder. The answer is no

I wonder if they will still stick with him next year if the draft gets scrapped and you don't have to have a Brit at reserve. Can't see them doing so when there are better riders out there

Exactly esp without Garrity and Bates who have both been in good form.

I agree that they should no longer be compared. Newman should now be compared with other reserves like Worrall, Wright, Ellis, Starke, Auty Even of that list I wouldn't say Newman is the strongest anymore.

Hardly Garrity's fault that he had mechanical problems during that race in the British Final that caused his crash and injured his arm. Regardless of who has come off the most and yes they both have had injuries, if you take off the Poole tinted glasses, can you honestly say at this point in time in PL & EL Newman is going better than Garrity? Newman has hardly beaten anybody of note this season (even our reserves beat him). With the exception of draft riders, Newman has beaten only (H)Lawson,Morris (A) Lawson,Josh.G Whilst so far this season Garrity has beaten (H) Doyle, Andersen, Cook, Nicholls, R Worrall, Bridger, Bech, Kylmakorpi, Josh.G, Buzz, Thorsell, Masters, (A) Kurtz, Buzz, Cook, Nicholls, Karlsson, Kylmakorpi, Masters, Summers As for PL, I think the averages speak for themselves. Newman's 2014 end average was 6.51, two years on and it's now 6.76 and he's a 2nd string. That's hardly any progression in almost 2 years. Garrity's 2014 average was 6.75 however his average is now 8.44 and he rides as a heatleader.

👍🏻😂😂😂😂

Peterborough is one of the exceptions as when I last watched them they were in the EL

He's allowed 7 as at reserve

Another amazing meeting for KK helped get the point 3,1,3,3,3 (13) Sarjeant a big worry though & Garrity/Bates both missed.

I'm hoping this meeting is going to be better than the Berwick V Workington one is so far

Is the racing always this bad at Berwick. This meeting is almost as poor as England's defense (almost) There are a lot of PL fans on here who are always telling us how great the racing is in the PL, however I have yet to see any evidence of that. This is the first really bad meeting this season so far on sky. The EL ones have been very good.

Well done Leicester. Disappointed not to get the win but I guess it was a good point after losing Garrity to injury after already having no Bates. How did Wikinson have 4 rides? Another great meeting for Kaspazak. Sarjeant must be a big concern though. Why couldn't we have met Leicester when they still had Watt lol. Lindgren was brilliant tonight & a great signing for the Lions. Lions reserves 20, Coventry reserves 10 I hope Garrity is okay 🙏🏼

He was only a heat leader for one week before his average dropped and he returned to reserve.

I think it's great if it encourages teams to use more Brits. In the EL teams, this is how many Brits are named in their top 5 Coventry 3 Belle Vue 3 Lakeside. 3 King's Lynn 1 Leicester 0 Poole 0 Swindon 0 Wolverhampton 0

Can't really compare the two now as Garrity has shown good form in the top 5 and has progressed a lot more. He's maintained his average which is good to see & beat riders like Doyle, JK, Cook, Nicholls & Andersen Newman is still more of a reserve than a main team rider and I think he still is a little while off holding his own in the top 5.

I'm sure if he wanted to ride for Poole then he would have. He seems very happy at Coventry which is good to hear. He has a lot of potential once he gets used to the tracks, however sadly we may not have a team for him to ride in next year 😕

I think Coventry look stronger in the heatleader position but with Bates missing & this being Woryna's first visit, Leicester look much stronger at reserve. I think they have the best reserves in the league. I'm hoping for at least a point but Swindon & Poole have both come away without a win and that was before Watt was sacked so think this is going to be tougher than people might think

Confirmed line up Leicester 1.Hougaard 2.Summers 3.Klindt 4.Auty 5.Wozniak 6.Lindgren 7.Starke Coventry 1.Kaspazak 2.Garrity 3.King 4.Sarjeant 5.Harris 6.Woryna 7.Wilkinson

The reason myself and my family haven't been to many storm meetings this year is because it's a very unexciting team with the exception of Knuckey. The crowds were good in 2014 as we had up and coming riders including a member of the main team in Sarjeant. This kept bees fans interested and the strength of the team attracted fans.
