Anyone else notice Dan appeared on Rip Off Britain this morning complaining about being ripped off for car insurance lol.Some of it is filmed in the Trafford Centre in Manchester and Dan was with Jack Smith.

You think Shovlar saying riders rode like twats is a respectful comment lol.

Poole track always the same.Nothing on the inside with the racing line right out to the fence.

The racing could be better if the track had more banking.It looks too flat and the outside line was almost non existent.

Not so good for the Aces,but the Colts going great .In the cup final and in the play offs so the future is looking good.The National League has been great value this year.Jordan Palin was quicker in the cup semi v Cradley than any rider in the Aces v Swindon match so these National league lads are fast round the NSS.

What's the problem then? What's making it so bumpy

You lost, get over it.

Unfortunately Sid we have a few so called fans who would rather post negativity.We are watching the best speedway in the country on the best track and still people are moaning.We are probably running a tight budget including a very good side in the National League so maybe changes couldn't be made.Anyway if they want to watch the playoffs so much they can come to the Colts matches lol

You got that wrong,it was a decent crowd.

Who are the loads stating they are not going?There is only one on here.Why would anyone go to previous rounds and then not bother with the final? If it's because we might lose them it's a lame excuse.

They may not refer to it as Mickey Mouse but the certainly regard it such.Even a sport like darts gets more column inches in the papers.

Agree with most of this except Bewley being slow at the NSS.He's the quickest rider ever round there lol.I get what you mean though it just didn't happen often enough.

Big it up all you want but the racing at the NSS is much more exciting to watch.Good luck to all four teams but I make Wolves and Robins joint favourites.

Jaimon Lydsey won heat 8 in 58.81.Did this better Iversens old track record?

If the Aces get to the play offs i would think they would be everyones pick.The best track that most riders enjoy riding on plus their poor away from and it's a no brainer.Steve Worrall has struggled like Dan coming back from serious injuries this year and we would need both to hit top form to have any chance.

mikebv is spot on with his post.The racing at the NSS in the National league is superb value for money .And no the racing isn't good because of riders mistakes,far from it.You get lots of young riders of similar ability producing great close racing.Regarding race times Jack Smith clocked 61.53 in heat 1 recently which is on a par with many races in the Premier league.You hardly notice slower race times.Doyle v Fricke or Kemp v Flint etc would be exactly the same entertainment.

Crump would have been fantastic at the NSS,he's Australia's best ever rider.Think he was being very modest with his comments.

They could all get four riders but not as good as the Poles ..so let's scrap it seems to be the reasoning.

The recent WorldU21 team cup at the NSS was way better than what was served up in Russia.Surely teams can get four riders and revert back to a proper World Cup.Nobody is interested in pairs events there is no team riding nowadays anyway.The daft idea of 2nd and 3rd being better than 1st is just rewarding failure.Finals imo should be winner take all.Both teams had two chances each of winning the grand final.

I recorded and started watching the recent Peterborough v Aces match and because of the crashes and hold ups new it wouldn't finish in the allocated time slot.So I recorded the following boxing show and watched the end of the speedway at the beginning of this!

Great advert for National League speedway and makes the recent comments about this standard of speedway by John Cook look very foolish.Racing wise it was much better than the recent televised match at Poole.Credit to both teams with some very good young riders on show.

Great racing and after the shambles at Poole and Swindon today shows what can be done with a track that is prepared properly.

No surprise then that no BV fans bothered going.It won't be like this at the NSS on Monday that's for sure.

To put things into perspective regarding the cost of the NSS it's been reported the cost to repair Manchester Town Hall will be upwards of 250 million.I think the stadium was built cheap for what was involved.Any new stadiums being built today will be costly no matter what sport it's for. The NSS is a world class racetrack , and for the sake of speedway in this country deserves to succeed.

He also finished with the seventh best average in the premiership he's no mug.
