Ooh you are a tease Philip.......!!

Track will be smooth and slick with the possibility of a late shower. With the changes in riding order and Antonio only arriving in the country this afternoon I have a slight feeling of foreboding but I anticipate only a close win for Poole - 49-41 will be the best they can hope for - even with Hans in the pits supporting the boys.. Usual admission prices and gates open 30 minutes earlier at 6pm. Should be a good'un!! May the best team win and meet Belle Vue in the final.

Just a passing thought - if the EL go for Weds/Thursday as the EL race night(s) in future years, what would Wolves do? I don't have any issue with the choice of home/away legs - just interested!

Maybe a Polish rider with their own use of a 'small' track to practice on!!?

Hopefully its Mark Lemon!!!!!! Surely the SCB only get involved if there is a dispute between clubs/riders?! One can only assume there is no dispute and the play-off clubs are simply happy at the prospect of increased attendances!!

It makes good financial sense if it puts more on the attendances!!!

Very reliable as it happens!!!

The latest set of official averages have KK at 7.91. AJ is 8.45 (+5% 8.87 for a home guest). Of the bottom 4 teams only Doyle and NKI have higher averages than AJ.

Kyle declared fit for Wednesday!! :-)

Lets not forget that the riders in the SEC and Pairs have to be good enough in the eyes of the Polish promoters to be invited to take part!! With Woffy part of the Monster Pairs team this year, I'm sure I've read somewhere that BSPA dropped any objection to British 'Stars' taking part as long as the SEC/Pairs dates were announced early enough on the International calendar not to clash with any significant EL fixtures.

So hopefully won't need the fire extinguishers this year then!!?

Matt is Kelvin's mate - they are always saying on Sky clubs should aspire to the way Matt runs the Poole business. NB. As for the AGM, didn't the BSPA try to bring it forward to October so that clubs and riders knew the format before heading of to Oz or wherever - but then realised that their constitution didn't allow them to ratify any certain changes until November?! Not sure if they've amended their constitution now, but recent references in the Speedway Star still refer to the AGM being in November!! Having said that, the AGM should only be a 'rubber-stamping exercise' as the promoters always have a series of 'pre-AGM' gatherings to discuss all the likely major decisions!

I wasn't comparing him to Hans - no point cos Hans is injured. He may be 8th in the SGP currently but his last 2 GP scores are 6 and 4 points respectively, so hardly at the top of his form!!

Now that Lakeside have qualified I don't think Sky's commentary team is a level playing field either.

Apart from the re-assessment argument, I'm not sure what all the who ha is about Lindback? Its not as if he's even in decent form at the moment!!

Maybe its the new 'transparant', 'there are gonna be some big changes' BSPA Chairman that agreed the re-assessment!!??

Just a bit uncalled for!!!!

Isn't the Pairs all about Named Sponsors teams? Woffy was part of the Monster team earlier this year!!

He called a bellend a bellend on twitter apparantly!!!

Ahemm, ahem CHOKERS!!

Isn't there a maximum limit on the number of times the same EDR guest can race for the same team? 4 times isn't it?

How many meetings has Fricke missed either through injury or unavailability??

Ah bless!!!

Tough luck Robins - it just wasn't meant to happen. Its totally messed up my fantasy team now!!!

Jon Cook has stated that they are considering 2 current EL riders. KK and King would be the obvious options - with Bomber as an outside bet.
