Check Scott's Instagram - does he really get a ban for this?

Scott's reason is 100% genuine.

we could decide to leave the team as it is give a final warning to a few riders and say they have a few meetings to sort it out.
we could make some changes, interestingly roynon is being talked about being dropped by poole
could look at bringing batch and another 2 pointer ( hagon or Killeen) and run with 2 2 pointers instead of turned but have batch instead of starke.
Other than that I’m not sure who is out there, rew ? Hans Anderson ? Any other riders about there potentially available
Hands off Luke - he's in the Oxford line up but out with a wrist injury at present.

Lacks class if you can't suck it up and lose with grace.
Haven't others been fined for making these sort of comments?

Chris Louis is always going to be on Doyle's side. He's so biased. Right decision I think

I realised that, but that's not what she said.

Kiri just said Sam's got three of these titles in the bag. How?

Kelvin says 'watch Zagar' and they immediately turn to ruddy helmet cam so you miss all of the action! Get rid of the thing!

Niels Kristian Iversen said pretty much the same a few years back.

And the track staff.

Some of us are on a pension and with the rising cost of fuel, food heating etc can't afford to travel to away meetings like we used to. At one time I wouldn't have missed a meeting, home or away, but now have to think about what meetings I go to. It doesn't make me any less of a supporter though. Think yourself lucky that you can afford it and make the most of it while you stIll can.

Perhaps because a lot of Oxford fans were supporting the Chargers who were riding at home tonight.

No, because half the riders will be in the Championship Pairs at Oxford that night!

If Scotty tried to jump the start in heat 7, why was he not of 15 m in heat 15 when it was called back.
Because he didn't touch the tapes! Etheridge got away with a flyer earlier in the meeting. Hope he's ok after his nasty looking fall.

Thought the same - he also caused accidents at Oxford last week and got away with it!

1 hour ago, Star Lady said:Just wondering if I’m the only one who remembers Tatum having tantrums when asked to ride on anything wetter than a slightly damp track
We remember it well. We often say Tatum wouldn't have ridden if it was slightly wet and he certainly wouldn't have turned a wheel in the first few heats tonight!

1 hour ago, Triple.H. said:Cracking meeting with an inconsistent Referee IMO.
Two incidents on run to the first turn where riders on gates one and two tangled up well before the bend. One is an exclusion and the other all four back. My vantage point while not as high up as the officials says its either both riders on gate 1 excluded after precedent set in heat 4.
As I said to a few people tonight if you watch a start head on in 90% at least of races the rider on gate 4 heads for the white line and the rider on gate 1 moves out to get a better line into the 1st turn.
Agree about the refereeing. Nicol should definitely have gone. Brilliant meeting though.

Surely they could do a Scalextric speedway or Top Trumps - how many accidents, how many tapes exclusions (James Sargent !must be top), how many points etc!

Passed by Smallmead Reading this afternoon and commented what a waste of a speedway track. Sad to see it as it is currently.

Crowd are on their feet says Tatum - unless they're in the restaurant/bar what else can they do at Wolves?

In all of my 44 years watching the sport I have only ever seen riders test the track once and that was one Good Friday morning at Oxford vs Cradley Heath. It was called off because the riders "couldn't turn their bikes" due to track conditions. After it was called off a few riders went out and did some practicing, if my memory serves me!
I remember that meeting. The Oxford riders purposely went out to prove that the track was rideable even if a Cradley rider had unfortunately been injured.

Also the previous promoter wouldn't allow him to use the Cheetahs name.
