Just to clarify as one or two have already pointed out Howarth guests for BWD and its r/r for Summers (can't be the other way around as the averages don't work!), meaning that Howarth, Allen and Covatti can take the rides. As for whether the season tickets are eligible for tonight - I doubt it as it clearly states that they are not valid for the play-offs. There was an extra anniversary meeting Pirates v Yarmouth back in April and MF says in the paper today that if we don't get into the final then he is considering an extra meeting in mid/late October. As for the Golden Heats rule - each team manager chooses 3 pairs of riders who race off in turn. If its still level after those 3 heats then its a 'sudden death' best pair v best pair until a clear result is reached.

Is Matt Ford leaving then? wow!! No mention of it in his radio interview this morning!

Well done to Jason. Lets hope he spends a lot more time and focus on keeping it shiny and polished!!

I bet you're rubbing your hands in anticipation for Monday evening, getting all your comments lined up for all scenarios despite not having your own team involved! Ha ha. Tissue boxes at the ready. Try not to splash your screen.

'Typical Poole'??? It hardly benefitted Poole did it?

Well it was a 'season ending injury' as far as the League in which the injury was incurred was concerned and the league where the rule was in place. Not sure that a British rule for something in British sport is ever considered 'global'?!

Since when do rules in British Speedway apply in Polish Speedway? Its only in British speedway that there is/was the 'season-ending' injury rule. Take the Dudek injury - in Sweden they bring in KK as a replacement (not the best decision I grant you but it is allowed even at this late stage of their season.)

He does know his stuff and occasionally even recognises Hans Anderson !!!!!!!

Easier to achieve without the 'Mitchell effect'!!

Well the October 1st GSAs are now confirmed on www.speedwaygb.co Bomber is not the best gater at the start of the meeting so having Josh at 2 would make some sense. Personally on recent form I would still prefer Brady at 3, Kacper at 4 and Nicolai at 5 but whatever the order on Monday it will have been discussed with the riders.

The October 1st averages are now out and on the BSPA website.

In the longer Terry Russell article in the Speedway Star he says that much of the new speedway track work should be done in October and November. The dog track will also be changed and Gaming International will be trying to do that work in between greyhound race days over the winter.

The scores will ultimately confirm the final GSAs for next season - so hardly meaningless!!!!

Maybe with Somerset and Leicester/Sheffield thats more to do with the fixed race night debate than anything else?!

Virtually the same size as Poole (299.1m), Should be great.

If the existing dog track is to stay the same, why alter the speedway track at all as part of the stadium redevelopment??

Rosco is merely saying that if they 'drop another 10k' through lack of support at this final meeting then it could have a serious financial effect on the strength of the 2019 line-up.

TFFT!!

If only ANY promoter had 200,000 zlotys lying around?!

I asked this question on another thread but think it got overlooked by several trolling posts at the time, BUT.... Which of the current Premiership clubs want to further reduce the standard of Premiership level speedway? Fans at SGBP clubs are already saying they want the likes of the Zagars, Holders, Lindgrens, Vaculiks, Doyles, NKIs back.

Hardly 'problem solved'?! One problem is that many fans and several clubs and riders don't want it!

Serious question - do the Swindon greyhounds race through the Winter? (At Poole its 52 weeks a year!!). If so, in addition to their track, what spectator facilities do they require? Surely the landlords Stadia UK or whatever name they go by now - will want to have that up and running asap with little or no lack of continuity.

Kyle Howarth and Jye Etheridge are both listed in the Redcar Silver Helmet meeting on Thursday!

The article says that the stands will be taken down when the expected planning permission comes through. The pits will also be moved. None of which affects work on the revised track shape to start immediately. Lets not forget that the landlords will also want facilities for greyhounds to be in full working order asap!!

Can't allow both Sheffield and Leicester in the same league with the same promotion!!!
