The starting 1-7 were deemed favourites at the start of the season (in Speedway Star) Still don’t understand letting Hans go and Josh has never been this bad and it seems his poor form is rubbing off on Brady.

How many chances does Matt need to put the right team together? All the raving pre-season about the starting 7 and it’s still not right!

Hardly half a team but you can only race against who is in the line-up and it is hardly Swindon's fault! Nothing is foregone conclusion - I have seen many "select" teams beat their opposition unexpectedly over the years and best not forget that Swindon struggled against a very poor Rye House team who really should have won on the night! There will be no crowing about how good Swindon are until such time as they secure their place in the play-offs and go on to win it - it would be foolish to crow before then - look at Poole fans pre-season crowing!

Feel sad that this has happened and the way it happened. There are two sides to everything and I have read both on Facebook. If Somerset wanted to keep Wright, they would have tried to resolve the issues but after 6 seasons at Somerset, perhaps this has been building for a while. Always liked Charles and his brother and I hope he gets another team in the Premiership soon to help continue his progress - although he is part of a good Sheffield team in the Championship.

Yes - but he was serving a ban!!

Shocking performance from Swindon tonight against a team that hasn’t performed well at Blunsdon this year - until now! Having to use a TS at home against such a poor team just shows you can’t take anything for granted. Looks like the track preparation played a big part but RH deserved more than their 1 point.

With Holder not riding this season - does that not mean he has to have a year out before re-applying for a visa - which is what I think happens with other Aussies. So it will be 2020 before he can ride here again?

Half a season

You don’t have to be an expert in track preparation to have the opinion that the track is impacting the quality of racing and crowd levels. It is down to the promoters to serve up a surface that allows great racing, great entertainment and for crowd levels to increase!

No - but that’s not my point. He is a worthy British U21 champion and British Champion - he went through the card on Monday and fully deserved his win. That win alone shows there is no better British rider to support Woffinden. My point was that Woffinden was the star and Robert (ably) provided a supporting role.

Robert did very well in the SoN and is having a good season but let's put it into perspective - he scored 8, 7 and 4 from the rides he had over the 3 days of the competition. I know he is U21 and those are good scores but they don't support the "big up" you are giving him about getting big offers thrown at him from all angles! I hope he does get the big offers but best to keep your feet on the ground for now.

Good signing - he looked good at the British Final. Surprised no one has snapped him up before now TBH. I know he is a bit wild and injury prone but you can't fault his commitment.

Congratulations to Robert Lambert - 18 point maximum and fully deserved British Champion crown.

Light the blue touch paper!!

Oh the irony!

Love him or loathe him but Tai was emperious last night - he was untouchable and team rode brilliantly. So glad he is riding for Team GB again. Felt sorry again for Cook - his only ride was off gate 4 and I would be surprised if he got a ride today because Tai and Robert look a good pairing. I certainly didn't expect Team GB to be leading at the half way stage - more of the same tonight please.

All hail Matt Ford! For doing what should have been done properly first time round!

Speedway fans ARE anoraks - who else would put up with the cr@p from the BSPA?

Interesting that Klindt is getting a Poole race suit made (and looking for sponsors) - did he not get the memo about it being bibs this season at Poole?

Or even Kai Huckenbeck

And then he forks out loan fees for Worrall, Kildemand and Nielsen - seems odd with all those assets!

No one wants any club to close but it is a sport dying on its @rse -unless there is some radical surgery

That’s really working out well - don’t you think?

Speedway of Nations? Can’t see it lasting long and not as good as World Team Cup. Total borefest packed with lesser riders!

Surely not? If so, Starry can replace him as he seems to have been talking track preparation for most of the season
