On the plus side...Flint has developed tremendously this season.

If (and I stress, IF) the weather is kind on Friday up North....We'll be lucky to hit 40 points....let alone get a draw....

It wouldn't surprise me if the 'Masons' don't show up as Eastbourne's saviour next season? I certainly wish them well whatever their path.

Its definitely going to be the last League match ! As for the announcement? No surprises there....the Masons have done remarkably well to get us to the end of the season! Well done David and Peter.....thanks for the last 2/3 seasons! I can't see Birmingham returning.....time to find another hobby!

Surely B'ham too strong for Newcastle ? (14/16 points win...) however, be great to see Adam riding and Barker and Mountain go well at PB!

Harris has been the highlight ALL season!

At the end of the day....if the Promotion are losing money with every match? Why would they want us to make the Play-Offs ?

I have a feeling that B'ham will 'post' a similar sort of message for their last home meeting? It's a sure fire winner if the current promotion are looking for one last final 'pay-day'? (business head on etc....) Really sorry to see the demise of the 'Diamonds'.....my early years were memories of Joe/Tom Owen and Brian Havelock!

Just one last point about riders refusing to race if they're not happy with the track ? riders these days seem very fickle to me... Kenny Carter never complained....just got on with it....even won a British Final on a rain soaked track at Brandon...'with a broken leg'....lifted on and off his bike before/after each race!!! Just makes me laugh when I think of Redcar the other night.....

I wonder if LR aka speedway fan could explain Thomas's absence?

Absolute joke! Obviously didn't fancy the journey? I'd replace him permanently.

Redcar riders 'especially' Charles Wright are a bunch of whinging whimps! They need to man up! Wright is a posing pu##y! He was the top-hat that caused the delay in the opening meeting.....'grow a pair'! Wright only complained because he was beaten by a B'ham reserve in Heat 1! This was planned imo....especially after the KOC match....probably cost us our status! How can the track be bad, if Kerr clocks one of the fastest time of the season? (Redcar manager forgot to tell him to slow down). I certainly hope Redcar dont win the League.....c'mon 'POOLE'!

I think Redcar will edge it tonight....6-8 points!

Dont think it will matter too much now....cant see us making play off's?

Too true....Brandon was absolutely sh#te IMO!

We were obviously robbed by a cheating referee { a total disgrace to his profession}_.....but zero points from James Shanes is unacceptable....seems to be playing it safe now that he's a new parent ???

Sounds like a very frustrating/boring meeting for all those that attended last night...... Can I just point out that I watched a so called 'mouth-watering' clash in the Prem on Monday night Wolves v Belle Vue and though the track had no issues, the match was as boring as hell.... Leon Flint providing the only real entertainment (buzzing around at the back and not really having the skill to pass)..... (P.s if anything exciting happened after Heat 8, then I stand corrected, as I turned it off at that point....) Not to mention the 'processional' racing at 'Togliatti' in the Grand Prix at the weekend. Speedway as a spectacle is 'dire' right now.

My post says 'at home' .......

Plus, Morris and Shanes need to put a shift in......I don't think either of them have hit a double figure score at home all season?

I'll be very surprised if Thomas scores double figures? The skill will be in the management tactics and knowing when/if to use him? If Schlein/King gate....then I can't see anyone getting near them.....Worral is useful around PB, but not unbeatable and Harris/Riss should get the better of him.

Poole to win by 12 points.

I wouldn't be critical of any B'ham rider this season....the pressures of an on/off campaign.....not knowing from week to week what's happening.....poor track conditions....(not just at home by looks of it....) if there had to be a change then it would obviously be Grobauer, but we all knew that could/would be the case before a wheel was turned....

Especially if the track is as bad as they say... I wouldn't travel a 320 mile round trip to watch shi#e racing

We can only point a finger at the previous state of the track? Great to hear that 'Priesty' is back....it shows a commitment from the management....let's give them credit for trying to get things right !

Brennan is a class act around PB.....he's guested for us in the past and beat some big hitters!
