  1. ive just tweeted BT Sport telling them to get on with it, rain on its way and fans pay to see racing!
  2. They prepare tracks slick because if it rains the idea is the rain runs off the track, however you cant race like that because it will be like ice, so you would have to wait for the rain to stop and then put dry dirt down or sawdust, if you have dirt down that gets wet, then you can scrape it off.
  3. I think Poole will edge it tonight, both the meeting and therefore of course the tie, rain is expected later so I hope both clubs approach the ref and BT Sport before hand and make it absolutely clear they need to get on with the meeting, get ten heats done then you can slow it down for Ad breaks etc
  4. Christina Turnball Steve, never ridden a bike in her life probably.
  5. Not that it made any difference but if rain was looming why wait until 15 minutes in before having heat 1? always the same.
  6. If the track is wavy again with a deep line out wide it will be a close encounter as Witches have the like of Bomber, NKI and King who are not afraid to ride one foot from the fence, I feel they rode very much within themselves in the recent league match there where as Poole, Especially Josh, really was going for it. On paper for me this is one of the most exciting play off series for a long time, (if your a neutral) all four teams are very capable and therefore I hope each semi is very nip and tuck, all too often in the past we have had semi finals that have been so one sided and all but over after the first leg and you just want to skip to the final itself. The Swedish finals was so boring because Smederna walked it, fingers crossed we see two epic semis and a final in our own league, Don't care which team wins, I want Speedway and the fans to be the winner.
  7. When BT fixed the dates I assume they didn't bother to tell the weather, speedway will never learn, late September onwards, its mostly a wash out.
  8. Didn't know about this until I got the Star this morning, very sad news indeed for those who's club it was, we have lost a lot of good clubs with long history's over the last decade or two. Stoke to me were always about the likes of Eric Monaghan and Nigel Crabtree, we (Arena Essex) had some good tussles with the Potters back in the old National League days.
  9. Why would Witches bother with a tactical, they are just trying to get through the meeting unscathed, terrible track, would not be surprised if all the waves caused Klindts chain to come off and cause him to crash out.
  10. Ah that's more like the guy I knew from his Hammers days, King Richard Lawson
  11. How is it they know they will be at Poole next Monday, they assume Poole will want to host the first leg?
  12. Rosco's face, the face of a man who knows he's idioted up
  13. Doyle and Batch didn't fancy it or does Rosco think they haven't got in it them?
  14. That's poor from the shouty twins, its all about Swindon, what about the fact Panthers could still get a draw out of the meeting, I know its makes no difference to the top four but still!
  15. Take Douglas out and I think this Panthers team might even be worse than the Arena Essex teams of 2005-2006
  16. This reminds me of when I had a team to support, weeks and weeks with no speedway (Grand Prixs excluded) and then when there is a meeting you get weather like this.
  17. Another Monday, three Prem matches and BT Sport are showing nothing, what's the point of them covering the league? its not just the live meeting, its a round up of what has been happening, for the non regular fans/armchair fans, how are they supposed to stay invested?
  18. If Essex ever gets another track it has to be modelled on this one, to the nearest inch, same shale, same track curators
  19. Our tracks by and large are a bit like the roads in our towns and citys, they haven't changed for years and they no longer fit for purpose of modern day situations.
