Hammering down in Exeter now , heading up Burnham way.

Anyone seen any racing yet ? Buster needs to get rid of that 80% clay rubbish , been the most dire meeting i've seen for many a year.

Well you aint getting any younger.......

Covers are fine for light rain or the odd heavy shower. Torrential rain not so. Water has this habit of getting anywhere.

Can i swear ?

Newman +2 v Wilson Dean looks good. Plus he should get 6 rides. Thoughts ?

Why so ? He might not be 100% fit , but from a neutral perspective , he's lost his bottle. His second ride was nothing short of embarrasing , he made the gate , but as soon as he heard a rider close behind him going into the 3rd bend he hoisted the white flag by casually moving wide to let both KL riders through.(it was in front of me, it was deliberate imo).

Probably the easiest win ever. All over after Robbo's 2nd ride. Result !

Every chance Robbo could have 6 rides tonight , he's 10/11 against Perks +4 on bet365. I'm having some of that

So did Neville Tatum but only they (or pit crew) knew i guess ! Plus of course PK was always wearing glasses , perhaps a Wolves fan could let us know if he wore them while racing ? I'll ask Tony Lethbridge , if anyone knows , he might !

Jimmy Squibb and Bert Harkins i believe rode wearing spectacles at times but not certain about this.

Possibly. I rather think that with his talent it was a way of earning shedloads before entertaining us lot at the County Ground the following Monday But seriously , the GB riders lack horse power. The talent is there , the power is not.

The big question is , will the Poles be riding the same cc bikes as the rest tonight ? I've had suspicions in the past when their bikes in the WC (at home) suddenly turns into rocket ships.

How'd ya get on mick ? Just thought i'd ask.....

This seems to have been endemic with Swindon riders over the decades

Bet365 not allowing doubles/trebles etc on rider match ups WC event 1 tonight, yet they do for GP's , disappointing

Right correct thread this time ! After going to both meetings seems Poole made a slightly better effort to keep the dust down slightly. OTA was a shambles dust wise , the only time the bowser came out later on in the meeting it covered about a 6ft wide near the airfence. Next race all 4 riders stuck to the inside so more eye irritating dust. Even the kid on the bike before the meeting was kicking up dust , its hard to believe such a good track can have a curator/management that has such disregard for its preparation. Must try harder.

Opps yes , damn phone !

Barry Briggs has probably been the only net recipient of changes for the last 20 years.

Can't you multi task ? Tut tut

It's still the ghastly little trick track its always been. So many great speedway tracks gone but still left with crap tracks like Monmore and Lakeside . It's a travesty.

I dont usually bet big , but i just have on bet365. Handicap , Oz-1 v GB at 4/5 , i'll be surprised if GB get within 10 points of Australia. Nailed on.

Usually they dont put markets for league meetings up until later in the day.

Nicholls +4 v Hans @5/6 looks like my wager for the night.
