As has already been mentioned Gappmaier ended last season/started this with an average of 4-84, currently he sits on an average of 5-68 so as you say he has increased his average almost all of which will be down to some big home scores, match winning home scores even. His weakness is away from home and zero scores are no good to anybody, I`ve no problem with making a change, Ive no problem in Gappmaier being that change, but please lets hope Theo Pijper is not part of those changes, if he is as good as one or two think surely he would be riding somewhere else by now, he isn't for a reason.

Cricket has a rule where a club can be docked points for preparing a substandard pitch, maybe in speedway that could be looked for preparing a substandard track.

Wolves make a mess of their tactical ride, looks like meeting is all there for Poole.

In Poole`s current situation the lack of use of the lawnmower is well down the list by the looks of things.

Can Poole not pay for two paramedics.

Poole are looking like a team that is desperate for a team change or two, as we know they are a club used to winning leagues but IMO this team looks a million miles away from that.

Obviously a lot of thought has gone into that one........not

I was thinking that as I posted though surely there must be one, even a pretendy one who wants to save a bit of money.

Yes but last Saturday`s admission was a promotional one, you can still use your ticket for this Saturday`s meeting all you have to do is make up the difference, still a good deal IMO. Though I must admit as someone who only went as a one off because of the cheaper price do you not think it was a bit daft to go into the stadium when there was rain around. Of course you could give your ticket to a friend and let them use.

I would like to see any track half their admission price and then double their crowd.

As this was the first year in a new contract it fare to say we will see SGP at Marketa for a year or two yet.

Berwick 1 Aaron Summers 2 Jye Etheridge 3 Kevin Doolan 4 Danny Gappmaier 5 NB Jacobsen 6 Coty Garcia 7 Leon Flint Leicester 1 Scott Nicholls 2 Ellis Perks 3 Josh bates 4 Ryan Douglas 5 Ritchie Worrall 6 Jack Thomas 7 Connor Mountain Second leg of the Championship Shield with Berwick trying to over come an 18pt deficit, personally I thinks that is beyond them infact I think Berwick have a job on just to win the meeting. As long as the riders come through their various meetings this week and there are no changes I have the teams down as they were yesterday for the first leg.

As I wasn't there last Saturday I can't comment or judge on track conditions from last Saturday, but what is beyond argument is that meetings are either called off or abandoned far quicker now than in years gone by. Maybe it's the tracks that can no longer hold water, maybe it's the amount of dirt, or lack of, maybe it's the bikes, maybe is a bit of everything, but nowadays people simply don't bother making the effort in going when there is rain around.

Not sure if the owners at Pardubice are all that keen on getting SGP there, and I don't think BSI are any more keen as well on the idea. As a racing spectacle this year wasn't great for Prague but hopefully next with promised changes things will be better. Still a great weekend

Personally I would love to see a SGP at Manchester but that would surely have an impact on Cardiff.

Best wishes to Sam Norris for a full and speedy recovery from what sounds a very nasty injury.

I agree but remember any rider coming in will have to accept the pay structure there is.

Granted, though the club reported that both riders were "refreshed and firing on all cylinders", anyway if its true that that are not fully fit you could ask whether they should be riding at all. As for over turning an 18pt gap, I admire your optimism but I think Leicester are more than capable of holding Berwick over the two legs.

Not a great night for Berwick at Leicester, having gone down 54-36 making the second leg very difficult indeed, probably impossible. No doubt the knives will be out again for Gappmaier, and to a point I can well understand as a zero score away from home is no good what so ever. But could we have a look at other parts of the team, Coty Garcia, we were told at the start of the season, was going to be the heavy scoring reserve and help take the pressure off Leon Flint, what`s happened there as high scoring reserve he isnt.

But its not rubbish every year, Ive been to some decent SGP at Marketa, but on last night yes that was not good though with the weather during all last week, probably understandable as getting any moisture into the track would be very difficult. Interesting to hear what tracks should be used for SGP.

Happy Sunday everyone

Gutted for the promotion, hopefully those who were going to go last night will return next Saturday, irrespective of an increase in the admission back to normal prices.

So another Prague weekend done and dusted, as every the City never fails, lovely food, great weather and cheap beer. As others have said the racing wasnt up to much, giving the heat of Friday and Saturday it would just about impossible to get any moisture into the surface, one or two good races towards the end however. Last night slightly sullied by the antics of two peed up Polish fans who gave Antonio Lindback all kinds of racist abuse prior to Ht1 then disappeared just after the rain started and missed their rider winning on the night.

Still very warm but there are threatening clouds around, prompt start at 7pm me thinks.
