To be fair. The forecast for Saturday was for afternoon rain & thunderstorms, until Friday when it all cleared. So the track was prepared hard smooth & slick so that after the rain the racing surface could have been recovered & we would have seen a race track. But the rain never came & we ended up with a bland track that offered the attacking rider little in return for his efforts.

It was a good meeting, always close in the scores. No re-starts & all done for half eight including an interval good work to all involved

In the Czech Republic the Pardubice club has Ales Dryml, Vaclav Milik & Jiri Jirout & their sons Ales jnr & Lukas Dryml, Vaclav Milik jnr & Mario Jirout In Prague Jiri Stancl, Petr Ondrasik, Antonin Svab, & Antonin Kasper with their sons George Stancl, Pavel Ondrasik, Toni Svab & Toni Kasper

That is incorrect. The heading is Fathers & Sons. There is no mention of any number. The first post gives us the names of 3 men that rode for a club & then their respective sons but at no point does it mention three is the required number. The first poster to mention "3" is you in the 4th post on the topic. You are the one reading something that is not there & taking over a topic again & making the rules up to suit yourself.

John & Chris Louis & at a push you could include Jem Doncaster who is Stepfather to Chris

I'm not 100% sure but I believe Sam Hagons mother is a Dugard.

I would say it will be another Aussie. Either Keynon Rew or Fraser Bowes. Both are currently riding in the Polish leagues Rew is the better of the pair on current form but Bowes has the pedigree of his father Shane.

Sometimes when your in a hole it's difficult to know when to stop digging

The Pirates ship is believed to be haunted by the ghost of Ondrej Smetana.

That will be the Poles kicking off because they have to run their league match's & of course they are far more important than the SGP so if it starts at 10:00 they will be at Church.

I heard that as well. The system needs a tweak as there were to many green light go starts. I was told we used to have a system like this in British speedway years ago but it was phased out because the timer used was taking between 5 & 7 seconds.

Why is there no Russian flag? I noticed on the SGP site yesterday that Emil & Artum have no flags next to their name. Today on the top 3 presentation a Polish flag & a British flag flying but no Russian flag & on the race bibs Magic has a Polish flag under his name & Tai a union flag under his name but Emil has the SGP logo under his. Anyone know why?

Peter won't help you need St Jude. The Patron saint of lost cause's ( & possibly the BSPL)

I admire the fact that Jack Smith keeps going. But I have to ask why do'es he?

There's no reason to lobby the Council. They were never going to pay anything towards building a new stadium. I'm sure as far as they are concerned more houses on this land would be more to their benefit with more Council tax & a bigger budget from Government for meeting the requirement to build more homes.

More chance of getting a bus ride to the moon!

Jason Crump was named in the Plymouth line up for their match at Glasgow 0n the 2nd of July. The important fact is that meeting never took place so other than his all to early come back at Ipswich he has not ridden for any club in British speedway. It is my opinion that we return to his initial medical certificate from the incident at Wolves on May 31st. Maybe Crump/Ipswich should provide an updated certificate but we all know he broke 8 ribs & was very knocked about. We all know that injured speedway riders bravery/stupidity levels are questionable & we have seen riders carried to their bikes in championship events Collins, Carter & Tatum to name just 3 but this is British league & as much as it's our life blood it is not for a world championship.

I don't know all the rule's & regs about visa's & permit's but as I wanted to change a permit when I was very much younger & I was in NZ I was unable to change it in NZ & was instructed that I would need to go to another country to make the change to an existing permit. I declined & decided to go on to Australia as I had already planned. Still love NZ.

I honestly don't think the manager makes any difference. The riders are not doing the job. Peter love him or hate him doe's not like loosing any more than anyone on here & it's pretty tough to give an upbeat report when your team has lost at home again by 20 points. Whoever the new Manager is will fair no better than him until the riders are changed

There won't be any afters with this being on TV

I think things on the Polish front may be different next year. Whilst the top riders earning big money might be happy to race in Poland & one other league there are a lot of squad members that do not get to ride each week & I think the Poles plan might just backfire when those riders decide it might be better to race more often for less promised money than to not race & not get paid at all. Already Adam Ellis is racing in both British Leagues & I think when some of the other European riders understand that being able to race in British, Danish, Swedish, German & Czech leagues & any other events could accelerate their progress.

Kent bar Scott Nicholls were second best all night. Nicholls for me took rider of the night he beat & passed most of the Pirates on a night where he was ploughing a lone furrow. I spoke to the lads doing the live stream & they said they had excellent co-operation with the Referee for all the changes.

I have to put my cards on the table at this point. I only ever attend live fixtures. I have never used the updates site. But I have seen it when standing with others at a meeting & believe it has value to those who want to keep updated. When I am at a speedway meeting I don't have a programme I choose only to watch the racing unfold & only after a race will I worry which riders are in it. The Stream is also a valuable asset but again one that I doubt I will use as it is my belief that speedway should be watched live. So no I am not in an Army of supporters that want it all for free nor am I a keyboard commando that spouts off at any given chance with out attending a meeting. I go to speedway all over the world & if given a quid for each time I heard the phrase "I used to go to speedway" a rich man I'd be. See you all at Poole tonight.

I Don't. The updates site has been in place for a good while & it helps those that cannot attend to keep up with what is going on in the speedway world without charge. The live stream is also very important as a social media outlet but it's reliability has been questioned several times & some people with limited funds would think twice before paying for this service.

Would Ellis not have an existing CL average from 2019 when he was with Birmingham that should be used rather than a conversion?
