Massive shame last night had to be postponed. Should be a cracking two matches next week. Come along if you can next Monday, it would be great to see the place packed to the rafters. This EL final is probably one of the tightest and hardest to predict for years.
The playoffs have thrown up some incredible drama over the years... Like this in 2010. If Rosco can master plan a win for us like he did with Coventry a couple of years ago, most speedway supporters over the UK will be very happy indeed.
It was the big upset in this match that kick started the winter of discontent in 2010/2011 off season for the Elite League and one of the many reasons why quite a few people dislike Poole. Seeing them flop in the final will be very satisfying indeed.
As for Sir Leigh, he's still in Aus recovering at home. Confined to a wheel chair still, he says he has reasonable movement in his right leg but his left is still not responding as we'll as hoped. He spent the beginning of this year at project walk in America, an intensive rehab clinic where they also taught his wife how to help continue with the training at home. The other month he had some pretty massive surgery on his back to remove the metal rods supporting his spine which has aided his general movement and flexability. Apart from that, the guy seems pretty good, getting on with his life, watching his kids growing up and running junior speedway training sessions. The guy was my hero when I was growing up and even more so these days after what he's been through. Legend.

I've never been to the speedway but always wanted to go. Everyone I know that does go absolutely love it and always mention the smell of the fuel being "wonderful"
What's happening next Monday then? Is it still part of the play offs? Are the play offs similar to the football with 2 teams playing home and away?
I might pop along and take a look. Could be the right time to jump on the bandwagon

Swindon were 18 points up now its down to 8 With 2 races to go. Poole normally finish strong but the Robins could really do with a 10 point lead going into the away leg. Been some great races tonight.

Stupid double tactical ride changed things And its just gone Pete Tong in heat 14. didnt know about a double tactical ride, was trying to explain to the wife after the 1st one and said they can only use it once! You just know this is going to end in a draw which would be a bit of a disaster for Swindon considering the start they had. |

I'm learning too. Apparently at 12 points down you get 2. Silly sport |

First bit of luck for a few races, Swindon will now win the 1st leg so not so bad.
Be nice to get a 5-1 on the last race.
