It was nice to read Rob Godfrey's rallying Churchillian war cry, FINALLY for some reason this Wolves news seems to have hit home with him despite his Charimanship since 2018 seeing the closure of Rye House, Somerset, Swindon, Lakeside, Newcastle, Workington, Buxton, Cradley, Eastbourne, Kent, Stoke and the expulsion of IoW. Like others have said with Edinburgh & Peterborough highly doubtful for next year and question marks around Poole's future and the annual Birmingham crisis it could be a total of 15 clubs gone in 5 years under his stewardship... FIFTEEN! Even if you factor in the return of Oxford, Worky & Kent... that's still 12 a number higher than any of the current 3 leagues we have running

There was a lovely first 2 turns by Bomber to out fox Emil when they met, didn't take too long for Emil to pick him off though... ... and is it Chris "The Bomber" Harris or Chris "Bomber" Harris? "The Bomber" just doesn't sound quite right to me

... and the Jubilee Trophy of course

He really needs to up his game out of the starts if he's to do ote around Leicester

Money?

Looks like we'll be concentrating on the league

Been done already and somehow they managed to fudge that one up too

How about a new topic... British clubs in FL? Because at the rate we're going that's a more realistic subject heading

That all-weather track would come in useful!

I'll see your 6 and lower you 5 man teams?

It'll be interesting to see how many are there tonight as I can't imagine many making the trip from Ippo other than a hardcore and Peterborough riding just down the road

It's difficult to judge crowd numbers but Leicesters last Thursday seemed to be decent-ish without being anything to write home about. I was at Peterborough's opener and there was a buzz about the place unlike at Leicester. One thing I did notice was that the 50/50 draw numbers (or whatever they call it) seemed to be down at about £350 ish and last year I'm pretty sure it was around £450 ish... not that scientific but maybe an indicator?

More than NP... who they signed for one bend

Is this the earliest a speedway meeting has ever been run?

18 point max! Classo Basso!

Might book it and take a massive dump under one of the floorboards then

Berwick are poor tonight, their top men can't make a start to save their lives! When you're being beaten by Bomber out of the starts you need to be asking yourself some serious questions

Chateau La Briance? Is that Matt Ford's?

Turn 4 camera person has been on the sauce again

Out of the house? Worth a go

OK... I think I've got it, it was going to be Jake Allen guesting when the Czech round was going to be today, then it was moved to tomorrow and Brennan thought he could ride tonight, so they cancelled Allen, then Brennan realised he couldn't make it for tomorrow at 09:30 so Glasgow used R/R... I'm going for a lie down

So it was always going to be tomorrow... just later in the day? The poster on the GB Speedway team twitter feed says it was going to be today at 15:00, he would never have made it back from that

Wasn't that due to be tonight anyway? Assuming it was and he was always going to ride in it, he was never going to ride in this. Or am I missing something?

There's not much of him is there!
