League Cup would be better served as an end of season tournament , this year's final is going to be in October anyway . We could have the League and play offs and KO Cup decided by the middle of September , then have the League Cup to finish the season

Edinburgh clearly decided he was a flop

Really lol

Yeah Poole will probably win that again . Whilst Somerset look a cut above , our league title is not so easy to predict

Somerset's northern tour in a couple of weeks will be an indication of how they can perform , especially at potential play off opponents , at difficult away tracks . Both Ashfield and , as per usual , Armadale have been fortresses this season

Being dominant at home isn't enough , and what I saw of Workington yesterday , top 6 is well out of their reach

A lot of that depends as much on how quick the referee is to put the red lights on , some don't give the riders a chance to clear the track

Somerset have really clicked this year and are the team to beat . Grajczonek is doing what is expected , Tungate has found a new impetus since leaving Ipswich and Wright is as steady as ever . Starke has really kicked on this year and in Wilson Dean and Jake Allan they always have a potent reserve , which means they can be patient with the other laddie at 7 . Over two legs anything is possible , but they have been the team of the year . My own team look the side most capable of giving them a run for it , but we'd have to improve a bit away from home , especially at the Oak Tree Arena where we have fallen away in the second half of meetings there . Edinburgh and Newcastle cant be written off , but I get the suspicion that Glasgow and Somerset will be seeing quite a bit of each other in the closing weeks of the season

Edinburgh getting 4 points at Peterborough yesterday makes it imperative we get at least one more away win . Somerset look out on their own , but over two legs anything can happen , but securing second place in the league is important

More like October than August in the Charlie Monk stand today , racing was pretty poor too apart from when Lunna missed the gate and heat 15 . Worst Workington team in living memory at Ashfield , but it's another three points in our quest for honours .

Was just a case of when the rain started , Edinburgh didn't fancy it . None more so than heat 11 when Masters and M Riss gated and the Tigers pair breezed past them , then Masters toured round in his own time . Thought that you could get excluded for not making a bona fida attempt to race . But Edinburgh's unprofessionalism apart , that was a really solid and impressive performance by the Tigers today , and surely a 24 point lead is defendable , even at the Dump

Hope the final is better entertainment than last night's meeting . Thankfully Australia held on and the Joker didn't win the day

Just adds fuel to the flame , let's go out and put the tie to bed on Sunday and make the second leg irrelevant . No point getting into the rights and wrongs of the Mitchell Davey thing , Edinburgh got away with it at Scunthorpe , the BSPA have obviously decided that the manipulation wont happen again .

He might have stubbed his toe in the pits after the meeting last night . Obviously he must have got a medical certificate to excuse him from his ordeal tonight

Back to the drawing board then

How do you know he's not injured ?

He's had a previous 4 point PL average , so we wont go down the manipulating the rule road

As it's a NL guest we'll have to use , we could do worse than give that lad Shuttleworth a chance

The Plymouth fans are a true credit to their club too . Had a great night with them in the Harvester near the Showground at the fours on Saturday night , and I enjoyed watching them celebrate their great win on Sunday

That was the most enjoyable two days I've had at the speedway in years . The only down side for me was Aaron going from first to last in the race that mattered . But parked outside the bar , in sweltering sunshine , in wonderful company and watching terrific speedway . Well done Plymouth , deserved winners , hope this weekend becomes a yearly event in this form . But they really have to pay the riders properly .

A carry out is the best plan as it's £4-40 a pint at Peterborough . Holiday Inn for me , nice big beer garden for the pre meeting pints

This is going to be a great weekend , canny wait

The criticism of Danny is a bit harsh , he's still very much a beginner at speedway , he's going to have some ropey meetings from time to time . Don't forget , he wasn't part of the parade yesterday as he was having mechanical issues in the pits and that was followed by shedding a chain in heat 4 . We won by 18 points despite our struggles at reserve yesterday , so I wouldn't worry too much

I will have a great night regardless who's riding . It might not be as good as Newport v Glasgow used to be , the night before Cardiff , but it's a cracking night out and an entertaining novelty event . Be even better if Glasgow won it again
