It was in the context of guaranteeing 2 bumper crowds for the local rivals Swindon and Poole, rather than risking either or both going out in the semis. This added to comments by a number of senior sources at the other clubs.

Looking at several of the various weather forecasts for Monday, I think we'll be very lucky to get this on. Forecasts vary from light rain to heavy rain and thunderstorm conditions from mid afternoon through the evening!!! Not sure what plan B might be?

Nobody said Poole would pick Swindon. What was said was if Swindon finished top then they would pick Poole!!

Well done to the Robins. Isn't it a great feeling winning on a track with one or two bumps on it?!

Good luck to both teams and no injuries. Hope its a great attendance

What is this fixation with a 12 team top league? None of the other main European leagues have as many as 12 teams. 8-10 would be good though, but then its all down to what level ie points limit, is set?! If the top league sticks with Monday/Thursday as priority nights then it indicates they still want to attract riders that also ride in Europe on the other nights and the bigger the league the more they will need those riders. I don't mean the really top guys - those days are gone until the Polish bubble bursts - but Polish 2nd strings/reserves,Swedish, Danish, Czechs etc and of course the Aussies will still be very much in demand

Lots of people saying that everything needs to be smooth at Speedway tracks?!!!

Johnson stated in the Speedway Star last week or the week before that they all wanted to 'stay in the Premiership'!!

I've said before - my main issue with your many many posts usually on Poole threads is that they are simply repetitive - over and over and over again saying the same old stuff. Sometimes you have something valuable to say which is why you are not on ignore - but you don't need to keep on saying it. Once is often enough - for everyone.

BT Sports football - indeed all their sport - is in HD and some in HD Ultra via the Virgin platform. I find it much better than Sky's standard package SD sports channels.

I have Quest and Quest Red on Freeview (which is built into my TV). Both are also on Virgin (215 and 217) which I also have. My point was and is that whether they have shown sport in the past - and I agree Quest certainly has, including speedway (possibly one of the Euro rounds?) then it provides a further option for Eurosport if and when there are clashes of sports that they also pay for.

Just because Poole might not win doesn't mean they 'choked'. I don't recall Ipswich being accused of choking when Poole's half a team put it over them at the foxhole too earlier this season

Wherever Bomber rides in 2020, don't forget Somerset who may well be back in whatever the top league is?

I see Bomber is taking more unnecessary risks by guesting for the Stars again tomorrow - or maybe its the money on offer?

If you bothered to actually read what I wrote rather than getting into yet another 'I know better then you' strop, I never stated that Eurosport was on Freeview ! I stated that Eurosport (or the Discovery group if you prefer) have other channels that are available on Freeview for example Quest and Quest Red, which have previously been utilised to show sports including speedway and other motor sport. I really don't know how that amounts to ignorance - merely stating a fact - something that someone such as yourself claims 'to know something about'!

Eurosport do have more than the 2 main sports channels to utilise if required - free to air on Freeview too!!

The Poole v KL Supporters Cup meeting will be Poole's end-of-season fixture in October , so expect some sort of incentives for people to attend.

I guess the request for r/r to cover Masters non-speedway related absence is a request for 'special dispensation'? Not having a go at Wolves or Sam - just asking, in light of Lambert missing a flight last week and KL having to use a NL rider?!

If that is correct, why are there so many more serious injuries on the smooth, well maintained and prepared Polish tracks??

He'll probably be at Somerset in the top league next year!!!

Does anyone else not have a clue what this post is about? No? Just me then.....!

Eurosport haven't got the SGPs.

Definitely not!!! In what other walk of life would you prefer smooth over a bit of bump and grind for excitement? NB. If by some quirk of fate and a good performance Poole do finish top, does that make Poole better than Swindon or Wolves/ Just asking......?

Hopefully they'll have more time to work on it next Monday?!

woof woof!!
