Poole will get a bumper crowd whoever it is - although if it is Ipswich that'll mean Ippo on 2 successive Mondays, and both on TV!!. However as Middlo has already stated, it'll be whoever the riders decide they've got the best chance against!

If Dak North was to ever return to UK to race - which he won't! - Rosco would be first in the queue to sign him!

Middlo rode for Arena but don't think he ever managed them. Are you sure you're not confusing him with Boycey's former spannerman Neil Vatcher?

Fine humid weather due for tomorrow. I gather the special 'holes and ruts' squad are all set for the special track prep for The Stars top 2. Also the track marshall with the red flag on track for the rider presentations is being fitted for his protective suit today.

Peter Oakes does the Daily Star stuff so should be spot on.

So he's not doing the Pairs on 20th then? - or will he be banned by then?

Wouldn't be the first time!! I just hope he doesn't put Josh in the fence again!!

Just a shame that the Showground isn't his to do with as he may want?!

Somerset!?

Oh well, never mind eh?!

The 19th looks the only option with the play-off dates being confirmed this morning starting on 23rd. The 18th I believe clashes with Denmark.

Doubt he'll be the only one?!

Really? Where do you get that bit of factual info from? Douglas is supposedly guesting for Poole at home on Thursday (weather forecast is good) so he can't guest again on Monday next because of the 8-day rule! BTW well done again Wolves.

So the rearranged meeting will have to be Thursday 19th - the cut-off date - unless its on an off night?!

Much of what I put in my post is factual and I did put 4 emojis at the end, so people can always have their own opinions as well!!! (ps who has he guested for recently?)

Be fair Gavan. Wells did his shoulder before signing for Pirates (thought thats why most thought it a poor signing?) and after riding 5 meetings in 5 successive days - only managing 3+3 and a retirement yesterday - he's in so much pain it needs treatment. Poole would have used Ryan Douglas but Peterboro have scammed him in to replace Garrity tonight - so Poole have to wait til Thursday before using him. Can't use him in the play-offs unfortunately but hopefully Wells will be fully fit by then. Not sure who we will use against Ipswich next Monday? Whoever it is will undoubtedly make us weaker!

Bom Dia!

Why bother to compare (again and again!!), its not as if the leagues are competing against each other!? Poland is Poland and GB is GB and we all know the various pros and cons respective to each league. Clearly as Torun have demonstrated this season, having several 'top' riders guarantees you nothing - neither wins nor good racing.

Anyway, once again - Well done Wolves!!

Kelvin has improved no end and I do like his knowledgeable commentary. I don't believe NP has improved at the same rate and just comes across now as somewhat repetitive "Yes, very much so"!! As for the GPs I agree there should be another studio 'expert' so its not just the Scotty shirt show! (NB. I did say shirt!) The GP qualifier programme and rider position selection process needs a revamp especially with Kiri asking each rider 'So why did you choose number ??' Pointless.

So no thread on this one so far. Poole back to full strength (?)with what seems like a couple of dodgy reserves. What will be the Stars line-up? Will Cook be riding? Is he safe with himself and other riders? Is Lambert fully fit? Who knows as nothing official yet on either website. All we do know is that BT have switched their live meeting to Panthers v Robins which is not unsurprising as they,ve already shown Stars v Pirates earlier in the season. Thoughts?

Good God is this still going on? Poole lost. Well done to Wolves. Move on.

So Peterborough get a BT Sports live TV meeting on Monday. Their fixture v Robins now replacing the Stars v Pirates!

Deuce. Thats a heck of a conundrum, but no doubt someone will get an advantage?!

League speedway is effectively 15 heats of Pairs racing. I think the race points in each heat should be 4;3;2;0 with a tactical substitution of a pair (2 riders) if a team goes 14 points down.
