Shadders

Haven't put the teams up yet, gonna wait until nearer the start time.

I was sitting outside the stadium in the pouring rain and was acting on information received. The rain was FAR worse than last Monday when the Worky/Plymouth double header was postponed. People I spoke to outside couldn't believe it when news filtered through that the ref said "lets go". Wasn't intending to decieve anyone, I'm not like that. Oh, and thanks and well done to Bryn for stepping in at the last minute to announce. Hope you've untied your tongue after some of those Russian & Polish names.

Rye will get absloutely nothing from this. Look for a bottom of the group finish and an early exit.

Great news for Tai on what must be his fist time round there

Final is: Kennett, Barker, Tai, Lawson.

Kennett & Barker have qualified for the final. Tai, Bridger, King and Lawson in a run off for the third spot.

Perhaps they wouldn't have shut off the power if it looked like you were gonna win tonight

Best I can do is: Kennett-6 from 2. Bridger 5 (2) Tai 4 (2) Roynon 2 (1) King 3 (1) Boxall 1 (1)

Saving my money for trip to Moldyhall tomorrow and home again to them on Monday Vinnie, plus got Northern tour to save up for. Going to 4's at P'boro though, that's an EL track

I can't believe that nobody offered to text updates for this. I wonder how many of those going watch speedway updates expecting to see news from their particular team. Bad show

Should Stoney be included in the Worky team as he signed AFTER the draw was announced for the 4TT? You know it's true spin king

How come Birmingham are in this? Surely it should be the top 8 teams from last years Premier League? How can you possibly base qualification on so few matches? Another joke decision from the decision makers of probably the worst run sport in the country. Harsh Harsher I bet you'd swop your abysmal side for a team of gating tarts right now

Why struggle at the foot of the Elite? Swallow your pride and come to the Premier League. The least you would do would be to scrape into the play offs and prolong your season past it's usual end in June.
