    Been raining in Paisley for a couple of hours now , but i'm not worried as its a nice bit of natural watering , as long as it stops soon . A few of us meeting in the Horseshoe at half 12 to raise a glass or two in memory of Falkirkbandit ( wee Marty ) . Rest in peace wee man , we had some great times on speedway trips

    Having no team suits is crap. Having that ancient marching music is an embarrassment and totally cringworthy.

    Dejavu again, no fault of the promotion though. Why is it, we always seem to be playing catch up, some clubs will actually have had 3 league meetings (weather permitting) before our first league meeting. Should be all clubs start their league fixtures in the same week, not a month in advance of other clubs.

    That's shocking , not like its a rearranged fixture , he should be at Ashfield . I remember Peter Waite sacking a rider for doing the same thing a few years back , and he was actually Polish . Makes it a better meeting cause r/r will score about half a dozen points more than Andersson would have , but its still a nonsense .

    Does he? I'd of thought he'd have got rid of that to save a few bob.

    Don't panic, it's all in the plan Only one rider practicing after meeting, do they not care? Don't they want to improve?

    No good to us though is it. Needs to be riding like that when wearing a Poole race bib.

    Highly speculative that he would be a prolific scorer, seems on the downward slide unlike Stevie who improves year on year. I would have thought Somerset would have suited him too. Worrall seemed really up for it this season as his scores, at home at least certainly bear some evidence of this. With a high home average and a moderate away one he would probably have climbed to about 8 this year. Don't think Hougaard has ever achieved that.

    Redcar "Cubs" v Newcastle "Gems" scorecard. A good competitive first meeting of the season for both clubs. Kyran Lyden replaced Cubs regular Alex Goldsbrough who was ill on the day. Two special maximum men in Gavin Parr in the 500's and Archie Freeman in the 125/150 class. Pity that the machine problems of the Gems No 1 Josh probably cost the Gems a possible away victory. Good advert for the NJL.

    Hougaard for Worrall is laughable Steve had started the season flying and on a low average that he looked like improving he will be nigh on impossible to replace. Nobody is saying he is a world champion just on an average that he looked like improving on and to replace that with someone else who could improve isnt easy and it certainly wouldnt be Hougaard!! As an example Howarth at Wolves looks on a low average , same for Ellis at Swindon. If either of those got injured i would say they would be more difficult to replace than either Thorsell or Morris for example.

    I agree about the scoring system, it was one of British speedway's best ever ideas which worked really well, then they went and spoilt it by giving the home team three points for any win. Hopefully one day they'll put it back to how it was.

    New rules this season allows guests for any of the 3 top riders to cover injuries, and I can think of 3/4 guests who would make Ippo much stronger around the showground .

    Raise a glass for me Paulco. Only met him a few times in Horseshoe with you .He was a sound bloke. Footie for me first then rush to ashfield so hopefully catch later.

    ? She made her way to the Hotel Room with out any help ..Yet again it was a matter of opinion if she was pissed ..looking at the amount she had drunk it was highly unlikely and she was in control of what she was doing, and quite clearly the jury agreed . It was a weak case and in the end justice was served ..sadly you have become a bitter loser as the case never went the way you hoped..

    That was in the Havelock days long gone them now , none are title winners , i would say Redcar have the better side as it stands ,but pretty sure Nicki Pedersen can be brought in from May on an OAP average

    How does his 5 points at Swindon show where he is lol How about Kurtz 7 away and 3 at home ......guessing though as he rides for Poole that doesnt show 'where he is'

    I am in no doubt Batchelor would have given his all to beat them horrible people from East Anglia in heat 15. . It would have made little difference on what he was being paid, or that the points had already been decided, cause he hates Kings Lynn with a vengeance, - and that is what makes the result even sweeter. Only a fool would dismiss the Robins at home, so to push them pretty close I thought we performed impressively. Looking at the scores of last night, we have to be confident of contesting well with all the teams we have to meet on our travels.... That for the predicted Wooden Spoonist, is bound to put egg on quite a few faces....

    I wonder if they will still be of the same opinion if or when Brandon is demolished? Can the housing developers be stopped from removing stuff, digging up the track and drainage etc? heard the other day they have had a quote to tear down and remove the hangers. I'd love to be back at Brandon just like any other Bees fan, but the chances of it ever happening I'd say are minute.

    Excellent revamp !!! But could we have less space devoted to Grasstrack and European/Overseas news?
