    The difference is the West Lothian council actually want speedway, that makes a big difference. plus i think the fate of armadale could have been predicted 4 or 5 years ago so things have happened in background.

    That’s what happens when you get into something you think you know about,but then discover you don’t.Maybe should have dug deeper before he got involved.He did give it a try though, much to his cost if everything is to be believed.

    What is an example of vanity? a selfie? Vanity is the quality of having too much pride in one's appearance or accomplishments or a bathroom cabinet that has a mirror and a sink. An example of vanity is a girl thinking she is the prettiest in the entire school or a Dad fitting into his sons Kevlar's and thinking they fit better on him than they do on the son... Gotcha Big Boy... I'm to sexy for these Kevlar's... Aye Righto Said Fred... Regards THJ

    After the TV nonsense from the Monday and Thursday mini league , it's a return to proper speedway on Friday evening with a visit from the always entertaining Redcar Bears . Three ex Tigers in the shape of Wright , Roynon and Kerr in their ranks . The decent German ex Monarch , Erik Riss , and Jason Edwards who has developed a liking for our track guesting for other teams this season . So there is plenty of talent in their side to suggest this could be a close one . Unknown yet if Craig Cook will be fit enough to ride , but Mr Entertainment , Ben Basso , bouncing off the air fence ensures the admission money is worth every penny . Hopefully my good friends from Teesside will make the journey north , should be an excellent evening

    We can't afford to pay out that much - new stadium to pay for!! (Hopefully.)

    Kennedy a long term gain? Palin maybe heading towards Josh Auty status but he could easily be another Simon Lambert. Definitely needs to look at what his counterparts are doing Flint, Brennan, Thomas all increasing their averages whilst riding in a CL 1-5. Not saying it can't be turned around but riders destined for the top rarely have extended plateau's in form.

    Blimey. A forecast a prediction a percentage chance its all the same thing. The likelihood was that it was going to piddle down and a high likelihood at that so the promotion called the meeting off early saving / reducing costs to them (they will have already incurred fees for the rain off so its not like they get off freely) saving untold amounts of mileage travelled (Plymouth especially being an outpost will mean travelling the day prior is more common) and of course the countless amounts of work days that need not be cancelled due to travelling to the fixture by the early call off. Yes the predictions can be wrong but id much rather see an early call off end up dry than a meeting abandoned/not start when a poor forecast proved to be accurate.

    They do and Roynon swaps places with Edwards for Redcar which prevents Edwards taking extra reserve rides thankfully.

    I’m not a Poole fan but think you are talking nonsense.3 good heat leaders and 3 riders with potential only having to carry Nathan which was probably expected.

    What a great night last night, nice weather, big crowd, a sprinkling of good racing... and a Leicester win! A big congratulations to everybody that has made Oxford come back... the stadium was looking the best I have ever seen it, it's a great little race track as well with its straight and bends being in good proportions. That's the positives, things that still need working on... While the track proportions are good for Speedway racing, the surface was a bit dry and dusty, but that's not a problem unique to Oxford, the "music" before the start of each race got a bit tedious after about heat 6... too much tractor racing and for the love of god SEND THE RIDERS ROUND AFTER THEY'VE WON A RACE! Big crowd in, most to watch Oxford, but all to watch the riders and they disappear back into the pits as soon as they've won a race! No geeing the crowd up in such a close match. Great meeting though, it's matches like this that keep you going through all the crap

    Hi and Thank you, The Dugard's have doubled what the previous promotion paid in rent but its in line with a lot of tracks now.. We are exploring every avenue but at the moment we are trying to see what sponsorship will be pledged before we do anything else.

    An excellent night out and well worth the trip down from Leicester. Really impressed with the work done to get the stadium up and running and the track was super smooth. A little bit more grip round the outside especially on bends 1 & 2 and it would have been an absolutely top drawer track tonight. If you haven’t made it there yet I would say it’s well worth a visit.

    Be specific. More than a few British tracks sell themselves very well, and are doing nicely, thanks.

    Chris Harris, what a fantastic servant to British Speedway. Wish there were more like him!

    So you'd have waited til the morning of the match? What time 2am, 4am,6am,8am,10am, 11.58am. Then you'd announce the blindingly obvious. It's going to hammer down from early afternoon, so the match we could have called off last night, so that you coukd plan your day accordingly.plus riders officials medics etc plan there's, we're going to call off now instead just to wind up to 1000 people up. Not to mention those at work, at school, preparing bikes, preparing medical kits, getting food in etc etc. Strikes me that rather than admit Plymouth we're right and you were wrong, you want to carry on against the blindingly obvious facts.

    You would hope that this freak incident has been fed back to the air fence manufactures and that they are working on designing in some kind of non-return valve fix so it doesn't happen again in the future

    Not the best of meetings. Since the track has got smooth, we have lost our home advantage and teams come here no with little fear. Very little if my passing tonight which makes it a gating fest. The track seems to have lost the inside passing line. Chris Harris a class above and was led for 2 seconds all night when Lawson charged under him in heat 15 but he dealt with that and pulled away. Special mention to Flint who continued to show his liking for Poole, carrying on from last season when he scored paid 13. Also the young Dane looks impressive and definitely one for the future. The rest looked poor, especially Wells who was given an undeserved second opportunity in heat 14 when tailed right off. The ref made a howler allowing heat 11 to start when the start martial virtually knocked Kemp off his bike. Green light and go when Kemp wasn’t ready. Red light and restart would have been the fair outcome.

    Good news for monarchs but has planning permission been sorted yet ? This could be a drawn out process, then may not be ready for next season even in very basic form !!
