A "wet weather" setup needs to be devised, like in other motor sports where a specific setup is applied to the machinery to make it usable in the wet, what that would be in Speedway I'm not sure as I'm not mechanically minded but other sports seem to manage it.

Certainly not outclassed, seemed to get better as the meeting progressed and won his penultimate ride. Looked like he was riding Dougy's kit. Leicester not the easiest of tracks to get to grips with but he got on okay with it without being spectacular, could be worth a punt as a 3rd heat leader somewhere, but I bet he ain't cheap.

Me too, it was the most memorable testimonial there's probably been I would think, I remember Rick winning it, whether that was the last one to win their own or not I'm sure somebody will correct.

I was trying to think the last time that happened... Rick Miller?

Thought that was quite enjoyable for a testimonial meeting 👍🏻

I'm not saying don't celebrate, all wins should be celebrated, especially by the fans, club riders and management just shouldn't go OTT is all I'm saying. I just think that mentally it's the difference between being happy to make the final rather than winning it. And being a fully paid up member of the anyone but Poole club I'd hate to see Glasgow do a Leicester from last year.

I don't like to see it, not in a qualifier, yes be happy, high five each other, whatever, but all this over the top stuff for winning a semi, not for me. Leicester did it last season and I didn't like it, especially when they were sunk without a trace in the final, they did it again, to a lesser extent last Monday, I just think it sends out the wrong signals, a signal of job done, when the job is far from over! You don't see serial winners Poole doing that kind of thing, in fact you don't really see it much in any other sports. Like when sprinters win qualifiers and they try to look like they're not even out of breath after the race, they're not jumping up and down like they've won the Olympics. It's almost as bad as people celebrating "winning" a silver or bronze medal

Have Glasgow won the Championship?

That was quite some heat 14! Wow!

Let's hope the ref never has his hand on the nuclear button!

Glasgow flushing their season down the toilet!

With only those 4 teams capable of fielding a side strong enough to realistically win a SWC, it would make more sense to make the competition a 4 round affair with a leg in each country, a finale in Australia coupled with a SGP now that would be something worth watching 👀

Maybe

If ever there was a night when 4 guests and rider replacement were required it was probably tonight 😂

Didn't Leicester ride against Poole a few years ago on SoN night... I vividly remember speeding back from Manchester (at 70mph) to pull them both in. 16th October 2021

Looks like Lawson has gone back for sloppy seconds!

Happy finish?

It's the BIG one! Spires last meeting... OXFORD: Richard Lawson, Victor Palovaara, Rohan Tungate, Maciej Janowski, Charles Wright, Peter Kildemand, Luke Killeen. LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson. Has Rocket Man's back recovered? Has Rocket Man got his rocket fuel in his bike? 🚀 Weather looks like it's going to be nice, so I'm looking to head down for this one.

Rocket Man using rocket fuel? 🚀

NO! Obviously another dodgy Polish burger... much like the one Artem Laguta suffered from in 2023, he'll probably go for a run though, like Artem, to get it out of his system 🍔💩

A contracted Ipswich rider being expected to ride for Ipswich... what on earth are people thinking?

All this not blaming the rider is BS in my opinion, the likes of Sayfutdinov & Kurtz always hold the cards, there's no way their clubs are going to drop them while they're still scoring the points and even if they did they'd be a queue of other clubs wanting to sign them. It's time they stood up and showed some integrity! Sayfutdinov should definitely receive a nice 28 day ban... and miss the pay off final 😁

Sh1tting himself at the prospect of returning to Sheffield? His a-hole has only just recovered from last year 😂

I've seen the rostrum on the SGP socials but it's a bit disrespectful for nobody at SGP towers to put the full results up on their website, they're quick enough to praise themselves about SGP4 but can't be arsed to spend 2 minutes updating the website!
