£2,500 raised in a collection for Ulrich today at Glasgow. In his short time at Glasgow we have really taken to him speedy recovery hopefully, both teams could be doing with him back sooner rather than later.

While I can see there's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the home defeat, the criticism of Justin Sedgmen seems a bit unfair. Although at reserve, he has continued to increase his rolling average month-on-month -- what more can be expected of him?

Can you conjure one up with the right average and necessary permissions plus a guarantee that their Government won't move the goalposts (sic), then please send your suggestions to the Poole Speedway Office.

Glasgow promotion put in £1000 that puts Buster under pressure to match that haha I think hes been rider of the year in both leagues in 2021 so far now the flymos have been updated

If they are having issues with tyres it was only one side struggling with them... IMHO it had nothing to do with tyres On the track... not sure where it was Grippy Charlie Wright put in the fastest time of the season passing Ben Barker up the back straight... also the James Grieves line was 2/3rds of the way out on the 1st and 2nd bends unless my memory is failing and no one goes out where Ludvig used to do his passing in the dirt on bends 3 and 4 as there is nothing there for anyone... no grip whatsoever... and everyone tries the Lemmo cut back on 4 hugging the inside line which can make it rather processional at times... 3 or 4 passes up the back straight which is unusual for Brough and Dickie Juul's advice in the pits must have been invaluable to Redcar... the dust was an issue for sure and the problem with a new track man for me is he potentially won't listen to the home riders and will prepare the track how he likes to see it not how the home riders want to see it... the issue may settle once the guys get dialled back in... and the dust will settle with more water on the track... Newcastle were just not good enough in every department... Redcar were better and stronger right through... it was a good old fashioned stuffing without a doubt... gating was an issue all night for the Diamonds with the exception of heat 15 when James Wright got a massive roller and still couldn't keep the lead... Also what's up with Max Clegg... his body language didn't seem right and on the track the effort just didn't seem there... has his head been turned? He seems to have gone right off the boil... The team is ripe for changes however is there anyone out there who can come in and significanty strengthen the team... some big decisions to be made... Finally I am not surprised any newbie liked what they saw as it was a master class of Speedway... passing with thrills and spills... good entertainment... only problem was it was all coming from the away side... Newcastle were just not at the races unfortunately... Regards THJ

Looked on the pace just seemed to drift too wide towards the end off his heats and losing momentum, also rode well on Friday still has talent.

Berwick allow under 16s in free. As a result you get a lot of younger fans going as part of a family. But that side of promotion very seldom gets the praise it deserves. Far easier to be negative.

It's been in place since 2020 to stop teams having to field a NL rider if their no.1 is missing

It's not hard to grasp is it,,, he is on the Rising Star list at the start of the season,, and still on it,,, ipswich don't use him as a rising star,, as only one rising star per team this season in the Prem,,, Kemp is ipswich rising star. So Rowe gets an average, but because he is on the list still,, he can guest for other 4 rising stars.

I think he will be at Peterborough next year if he wants to be, I also think he will be racing again this year as he should be back for our September matches if not some of the later August meetings. Ulrichs very popular, with his team mates, sponsors and most importantly the fans and it’s noticeable he is very fit this year and a fit Ulrich on good equipment is a match for mostly anyone. You don’t put over 3 points on your starting average by fluke or accident.

So you weren’t there, didn’t know anything about the meeting, track, opposition, conditions, refs decisions? In fact you knew nothing at all except what you read on the internet? Well they say opinions are like ar$eholes because everyone has one. I think all you did is prove the point. as to hitting a nerve ? Don’t flatter yourself mate, any real fan laughs at people who spout off with no knowledge of what they’re talking about. yeah, my boy did ride. He also top scored. Embarrassing…? Nope. I’m proud as hell.

A hope ya right but if it doesn't come back soon the riders will.forget it's there... and to be fair there was nothing finer than watching Lingren go for he big bomb on the outside and lately we have seen a couple of riders go for it and you see them going backwards as there is nothing out there... Regards THJ

Yes

Poor machinery as usual as he has been told so often. For his talent he should be a heatleader.

Thank you. If you had read what I had queried initially you'd have realised it was a genuine question. Now I realise you and your wee pal have no clue. If either of you work/volunteer for the Tigers then you messed up today. No big deal, it happens.

Jake Mulford must be delighted missing the Eastbourne fixture and rocking the boat further. 1 race at a soaking wet grasstrack and didnt even get away from the start line.....definitely worth jeopardising his Speedway place.

He guested for us several times in 2018 & 2019 and was immense but is a shadow of that now. Perhaps the lockdown nonsense has killed his appetite for speedway.

Terrific entertainment today. Points of note from my perspective; 1. Joe Lawlors late point was vital and he worked so hard to get it. 2. Cookie looks slightly off compared to previous seasons. He fought really hard in cracking races with Worrall and Masters. 3. Not enough water on the track. It didn't seem to detract from the racing but I found it odd, given the large water truck and smaller water tractor, that the dust would be quite so bad from a spectator viewpoint. 4. My favourite moment from today was when Kye was in 3rd and Justin was about to come under him thus forcing Kye out wide. It was almost at that moment Kye realised he can ride the boards (like he does at Armadale). He passed Jye and then after that he was excellent. 5. Brilliant collection for Uli. Speedway is such a great sport but moments like what happened on Friday are brutal. He's on the mend and that's the main thing so get well soon. 6. Looked a very good crowd today. Similar to the SGP qualifier a few weeks ago. Great to see and hopefully everyone was entertained.

My mate had a bike that ran on Calor Gas First time he rode it he did a wheely for 4 laps because of the weight of the bottle on the rear mudguard.

Alan Grahame actually raced it at the old Perry Barr track and it was successful unfortunately it was at the time when BSA was facing closure and the project ran out of money. Cheap stock petrol engined bikes could be very successful in providing the next generation of riders?

This NDL is all a bit "Mickey Mouse" cannot really be taken seriously when most of the teams seem to regard it as a chance for some practice. Would have no problems with that if it were free to watch ...... but some think its worth £15 a meeting :-( :-( Yesterday evenings affair between half a team of seasulls and a royals team missing one their key riders, totally unsatisfactory for the fans who paid good money expectiong to watch 2 teams of 7 riders.

And built with no thought as to where the sun would be setting lol

I think its a 3TT over 3 legs, Isle of Wight, those pesky Heathens and the hopefully all conquering OXFORD CHEETAHS, I'd just like to confirm that i am in no way biased in who i want to emerge victorious.

I think Oxford may also be taking part with Gordon Kennett as Team Manager?

by far the best commentary pairing,kelvin 10 times better when not trying to make stupid jokes with an equally unfunny pearson,stick with kelvin and chris, and also scrap the studio analysis,pearson probably on the biggest wage so bt think also of the money you could save!!!
