Sun shining. Scattered cloud.

Just checked Traffic Scotland. They have now opened A1 using convoy system and advising not to use diversion via Coldingham. Took my Missus 1.5 hours to travel diversion, from A1, as far as Coldingham earlier.

Major problems on A1 at present time. Closed, all weekend, at Grantshouse. Diverson route via Coldingham at standstill.

It did not look like a deliberate lay down of the bike and Robson did get up and attempt to clear the track.

Edinburgh are trying to fill their next free date 18th May but nobody seems to want to fill it. About time the rules were sorted out, forcing teams involved in a rain off to fill the next available date.

It did not. I believe they could not get riders to be able to hold the match.

Time for a night in the pub tonight. Clearly a choice of 3 which all sponsor, (Staggs, Spylaw Tavern or Black Bull ). Might see some in Staggs.

To be facing in the direction of racing ie front wheel facing direction of racing. Not at 90 degrees as some have done in the past. Hope referees have the guts to keep to rules.

But remember they can claim the difference up to 45p from HMRC.

No rain in Bathgate, 3 miles from track

Hopefully Alex Harkess sorts out the delaying of starts by Erik Riss. Surprised he hasn't been caught out before.

Please explain in detail how it is farcical especially as all promoters can comment and make changes to suit.

I believe fixtures are issued to all clubs for agreement, hence the delay in them being issued at the start of the season. So I'd put your allocation down to your own promotion.

Ian Paterson is opening his superb collection at Loanhead on Sunday 26th February. Times have yet to be confirmed. This is the day following the World Speedway Riders' Association (Scotland) holding its annual Dinner and Blether in the Deer Park Country Club, Livingston

Gary rode a number of Conference League and Conference League Grand Prix meetings for us in 1995, including home meetings at Linlithgow, and away at Sittingbourne (Iwade) and Exeter. Always keen to get any extra rides that were going.
