ouch

TBH with little or no home track advantage any team can fancy their chances at the NSS if they go for it. Should be another cracker. Any Swindon fans still undecided about supporting their team don't make the same mistake as the rebels fans and get up here.

It put me in mind of the Steve Worrall and Stefan Nielsen signings when Rosco stole a march on his rivals to bag David. He certainly knows a thing or two.

Except for The Aces. We've always been very accommodating with regards fixture changes but it's rarely reciprocated.

I can think of one other.

New for this year..., a) The Original Fixture if there is a clash with a re-arranged Fixture 1st priority to the owner of the rider c) 2nd priority to the previous season club d) 3rd priority to the league in which the owner club is a member.

Riding for the Comets If Kenneth qualifies for the SEC I think is will be re arranged.

If there's a few fans like chris4gillian could you make yourself known to me. I'll sell you a ticket just near the entrance on match day to save you the mither of rain offs etc at the full price you would rather pay. If I can get enough of you it will pay me in at £1.50 profit a time.

Excellent that and it saves money as well.

Probably not the best team to pick to make a point given how Belle Vue run their teams but in general you're correct about other teams hiring and firing without any loyalty shown

Chuffed our lads came out of that unscathed. With the gate and go nature of the Poole track maybe they could have one lap dashes as it would limit the potential for injuries and allow the meetings to finish on time. Worth a try at least.

Lee didn't blame the track as he didn't need to. After his first race retirement he only dropped a point until his last ride where he was happy to sit in third to secure the three match points after Davey got spat off. It was our two 15 year old reserves that struggled, understandably. They need to experience tracks like this during their speedway education. They can probably take some solace in the fact that Stokes 1 & 3 also experienced difficulties toward the end of the night. Enjoyable night with my only gripe being no programmes after 6.35. If anyone has one they don't want I'd happily call over and get it.

I'd say he didn't realise that Lee was eligible for R/R. He must have though Jack was third in our averages and not Rob. I would have checked before looking a chum in front of everyone. I can't think of anything else.

The Colts did their own impromptu victory parade by walking into the crowd to chat with fans, have photos and sign autographs. Well received by all. Malcolm didn't grab anyone, he just gestured to Lee and the referee. My opinion of Stoke as a venue is that as a sport beggars can't be chooses and I'd rather have them stage speedway than not. Having said that I think the track should be right whatever the surroundings.

Voice is still troublesome after last night.

.

Who would replace him??

All bar Dan can take his rides so we should be able to cover. Really looking forward to this tonight, it should be a cracker plus we've got MDL action in the second half.

Wow. I would say more but my voice has gone.

Should be a good meeting with the Lions definitely in the mix. Pleased MTP is riding as he's one of my favourites. Never say die attitude and very entertaining. Hope they get a point but no more than that.

A British speedway fan?

Some tracks seem to think that two Brits per team is the maximum not minimum.

I thought it was a stock car track that ran speedway as a side line. Until you get an owner that puts speedway first again then nothing will change. There's just not the interest in speedway, it's more about the money and not just 10% either.

I've said for years now that any rider in my team that gets passed, up the inside, by the opposition, at Monmore, will be fined. It is irrelevant what my home track is, if I've been dissatisfied by the racing on offer I say so whether it's my track or any other. Having said that I've kind of given up as it changed nowt and if the home fans are happy then fine. Wolves for me is about a 20mins longer journey time than Belle Vue, in years gone by I would go when the Aces are there, for open meetings and when the fancied team or world champ are in town. I don't visit Wolves or any other top league track anymore so now see about a third of the meetings I use to attend. Pleased The Aces got a point as that's the game plan. Win at home pick up a point at all away meetings then plan for the playoffs. 56 points should get you in the top half of the table.

That's a bit Rich. Probably a smoke Screen.
