    League Finals - new dates

    i''m afraid that the british weather is so unpredictable...your suggestion means that for teams not in the play-offs then their season ends in august.. I've seen enough people complain on here when that happens to their side.... as long as all done by end of oct...next year the early October weather will be dry I expect...
  5. in my (recent painful) experience the 'forecast' one day proves far from accurate 24 hours later!
  6. I was parked directly outside the gates ion Saturday at 5.30 and saw people walking in. I got out of my car and as I went to pay the news broke. 5 mins later I saw a Somerset family getting back into their car. .I felt for them..

    Eastbourne v Glasgow Semi Final

    if one reads Backtrack it appears a lot of the 'shenanigans' of old were 'staged' ….

    Eastbourne v Glasgow Semi Final

    Cook was totally out of order but situation was then inflamed by home promotion and announcer over the mike....rarely have I been at a meeting with such ill-feeling.. from what I saw perhaps the ref should have thrown cook out of the meeting... and from what I heard the Eastbourne presenter should be censored for provoking the situation when a wiser head was called for.

    TV new deal?

    they will be more likely to cue for bar billiards...
  13. Anyone believe that a whole £1 (c. 6%) off admission is likely to have any effect on the attendance? I recall Eastbourne being hauled up for knocking 50% off the admission price for a previous visit of Scunny when the visitors complained ! Not sure how I spent that 50p! Great that I'll have double that this time to invest elewhere, but will Will Rob G take this as another insult re his teams likely performance? Surely their score won't be lower than Berwick's…
  14. it was a bloody good spot by the ref!!. Howarth had already been excluded for 2 mins so was attempting to start off 15m when the he was excluded for 'no gloves'. I believe this will count as 'ride' for Howarth in the averages as he was under starters orders... m

    I enjoyed it. Not a bad crowd and some interesting races (albeit often 2 in the same heat!), I was half expecting a run-off for the trophy but then again where would Wimbledon put it!

    first they move the GP to a sat in the football season; and now they want to do the same with Kent speedway. Just trying to save me money I guess!

    Mondays are much much better for me (and others I know)….my visits on saturdays would certainly be far less frequent.

    and hopefully we won't see races so strung out in the PL.

    Mildenhall New Owner

    perhaps that may mean they will keep their costs lower than last season though...the points money paid out in 2018 must have been high..
