The thing with passing is people do also sometimes have to accept that the quickest riders are also the better gaters

Happiest of birthdays to Stan Stevens whom is 90 today https://classicspeedwaymemories.webador.co.uk/april-2024/big-birthdays-april-2024

Not making it up,you said you would have a massive party when Poole are gone. That sounds like you want us to close and will be very happy if we did.

Not understanding the affect of water falling from the sky is a new low even for this forum

That was a really bad decision, Cook was doing ok at the time, so put him in - more chance off the gate that Milik off 15m, or give Flint his 2nd ride? Stewart Dickson did the same at Glasgow, giving Schlein a 15m heat & not giving Hodder his 3rd ride instead. Very basic mistakes being made (though not as bad as Peter Schroeck)

It did look like Wright was turning back,could have gone either way I suppose. Tungates move on Cook was naughty too,that could have ended nasty. All in all though a fair result imo.

Tough one to call this. Masters and Nichols should get about 25 between them as only see bomber troubling them (and wouldn't say he's even hit 2023 form yet). 2, 3 & 4 on current form we should have the upper hand do could come down to who comes out on top with the reserves. 49-41 would be my call. Unfortunately missing tonight hopefully an entertaining safe meeting

Whilst I appreciate him looking to the future it's a shame Scott can't do a full PL season as he is riding as well as ever ,hopefully this won't be his last season as a rider .

Dickson did the right thing tonight in replacing Douglas with Kemp when he touched the tapes and remarked on it in his after meeting interview. It was obvious that passing was going to be at a premium tonight, especially in the early heats, so even after Milik's impressive victory in heat 1 it was looking extremely unlikely he was going to come through from the back in heat 5 against Masters and Lawson, so to make that decision was very strange especially as Dickson had basically shown Birmingham what to do in the previous heat. With the Brummies struggling for points on the track the last thing they need is for the management to be making basic errors like this.

I did the same. Can't do any harm as time moves on and the picture becomes clearer.

Yes, Redcar do streaming. Available via the website.

Weakest in the league but with possibly the strongest reserve partnership... although they didn't really show it tonight

If it's any consolation, I think you've got the best looking race suits in the league so at least you looked good while you were taking a sound beating

That is said at most tracks not just here but everywhere to be fair. Nobody is happy unless they see passing in most heats, which just doesn’t happen.

Stream is v good!

Your boys should be right at home then

My garden, the other side of Ipswich is practically bone dry. I'm surprised...

Some of the reactions on here are quite hysterical. A person committed a crime, was caught and served their time - happens all the time, get over it As for other speedway riders, we've had alleged and convicted corruption, multiple drug abusers, alcohol abusers, violent criminals, including murder and many of these are/were warmly thought of e.g. Lee, Morans, Ward. Very few have no victims, the drugs trade sees many deaths and abuses of people across the world. If he wants to ride speedway then I have no problem with that.

max James falls when Hagon fell off trying to avoid him.That’s a shocking decision by the ref what does he want him to do run him over. Standard of refereeing this year has been nothing short of a disgrace.

The sport which has the most offers and offers them continuing employment is football. Yet every week people pay to watch rapists, drug cheats, wife beaters who steal a living through the sport.

Hardly anyone outside the few thousand who follow the sport would even notice if he came back into Speedway... It isn't like any return would drive tens of thousands away... As that has already been done by others down the years... And if anyone wants to make a stand by not going should any convicted criminal be riding then let them.... Plenty more will still turn up regardless of his presence.... And, if we are now only allowing ex cons to do certain jobs, why should others then be made to work with them? Other "labourer's" in your scenario may not want him there with them for example... Therefore, what jobs does society say ex cons can do without someone having a protest? The bottom line is hardly anyone in this country has heard of Speedway, let alone Jason Garrity...

Jack Smith has actually been nominated for this event by Slovenia! The place is allocated to AMZS so if they nominated him it means he will use an AMZS FIME licence. Nationality does not matter in individual meetings.

If a league match, for example, is abandoned without the result being declared: - no team points are awarded regarding the league table - no rides and points count in the riders' averages - the fixture does not count in official 'records of achievement', so effectively the races completed become unofficial - if a rider sets a new best time in an unofficial 'race', such as in a practice it does not count as an official record ..... so why would a track record time set in an abandoned meeting stand? On the other hand: - the riders will have been paid for the races they competed in - at the time the races took place they were 'official' until subsequently deemed otherwise - if a team drops out of the league the results are expunged from the records - if a team drops out of the league the riders' scores no longer count in their averages - expunged results are no longer official, although they were at the time they were achieved - a track record set during a meeting subsequently removed from the official records still stands ...... so why wouldn't a track record time set in an abandoned meeting still stand. In my opinion the record should stand even if the meeting is abandoned. It was an official race when it took place. Ivor Brown held the track record at Cradley Heath for nearly 6 years with a time of 68.4 seconds set against New Cross on 20th July 1963. Eric Boocock eventually set a new record of 67.0 seconds on 12th May 1969. In 1963 New Cross dropped out of the Provincial League in August and the results were expunged from the official records. The meeting at Cradley Heath was 'official' at the time it took place. Subsequently, Cradley Heath had the league points from the meeting taken away, Ivor Brown had the points scored taken away but he kept the track record.

The only brummies worth their salt are Brennan and the temp signing now gone . That includes the shocking manager who you only have to listen too years of incoherent commentary to know he's not up to the task

Sam just hasn't got a clue... why on earth put a TS out against Leicesters only unbeaten rider? I'm flabbergasted!
