Harris has chucked it. No idea what’s going on, but it’s unacceptable. What shouldn’t go unnoticed is how horrific Sam Hagon’s track geography is. I don’t think he knows how to block an opponent. He’s so poor.

What are the rules around what Masters done? BSN just said Cami questioned the referee. The start marshall had dropped his arms.

Another really good race. All square with some great racing.

Watching on BSN, so can’t see the main stand, but elsewhere looks sparse. Unsurprising given the England game is on.

Decent third heat. Great to see Kennett back, albeit at our expense.

That’s a massive result for us in heat two. The first heat could have laid down a marker, so all credit to Mario and Freddy.

Comfortable Oxford win IMO. Hopefully some good speedway.

Steve, there isn’t another sport in this country demonstrating the visible, year-on-year decline as British speedway. At the turn of the century, there were 23 professional clubs in the UK. There are now 15, one of which has just been manufactured and several which are struggling to keep the lights on. For you to imply that theirs is profitability in speedway is complete and utter delusion. For you to also suggest that entertaining speedway is up for interpretation simply means this discussion is a waste of time.

He done well, but speedway is toe-to-toe and moments matter. Heat seven was the turning point last night and we needed more from Flint. Similar to last season in the play-off final when Kerr passed Dan Thompson in heat 11 or 12 (I can’t remember). Those are the fine lines that win meetings. There are fifteen opportunities to win a speedway match, but there are isolated moments in which champions elects deliver.

Correct. The best meeting I was at last season was the play-off final second leg at Ashfield and we lost. Do not misinterpret me Steve; speedway in the UK will die without entertaining racing.

Well done Bandits. All things considered including the position we were in, it’s another bitterly disappointing result. These types of meetings distinguish between title challengers and those who fall short. We’re short. KJP and Hausl will have cost an absolute fortune in mobilisation costs which makes performances like tonight unacceptable. Heat 14 was a disgrace.

Great start here, but we’ve chucked it. Could have been out of sight, but all to race for now. That PK and Morris 5-1 was a gut punch. Feel like it’s heats like that which show Flint doesn’t have the mettle to be relied upon when the chips are down and we’re fighting for our season.

Disagree entirely. We can no longer assess this on an individual meeting basis; it’s a collective issue, given how often it happens. It’s genuinely a disgrace. There is no need for it because you build strong sides that will win things without the need for the utterly brain damage gate-and-go. 12 of the 15 heats last night were over by the second bend of the first lap.

This isn’t football; there aren’t tens of thousands of paying customers and willing sponsors. We don’t have that luxury; our product is our commodity and at Poole, you’re doing it a disservice. I won’t repeat the story about my two colleagues who I recommended attend Wimborne Road last season who, ironically, haven’t been back. British speedway needs a product that entertains the newcomer; has them sitting on the edge of their seat. Poole doesn’t do that.

Not a great meeting… again. Edinburgh were very poor, we were very poor, as were Oxford, Redcar, Scunthorpe, etc. You will be crowned champions of not only the league, but also the KO Cup and BSN Series; of that there is no doubt. Poole know how to build a good side. But Jesus, you don’t half make it mind numbingly boring.
