  1. Past hour
  2. They weren’t small showers though, suns out now so hopefully it drys out
  3. The weather wont be an issue people stop stressing 😂 last small showers over foxhall is due for 10 mins at 18:40
  4. In Ipswich now suns out but it has been heavy showers any sky is Black over pavels mothers with a fabulous rainbow
  5. 6 miles north of Ipswich - Brief shower 15 minutes ago, sunshine is returning.
  6. Obviously there's two sides to every story, but if what Cami has said is 100% true, then he has every right to say what he did. He's not even repeating himself. The first report was a complaint about (some) Poole fans. The most recent is a complaint about the Poole management's reaction after he called out their fans actions. In general I can't understand any "fan" cheering a fallen rider, even more distasteful if they wish injury or worse on the rider.
  7. Considering Neil and the Poole team were closer to the fans, I might take Middlos stance instead.
  8. As a Poole fan and who went to the meeting. I sat in the big stand and didn't hearing anything, but that didn't mean this didn't happen, if it did then yes it needs to be dealt with by the club, as people shouting that are not welcome in our sport, this isn't football. We have young family's attending and they don't need be exposed to this. But this needs to be dealt with behind closed doors and not aired in public now after a number of press releases from Glasgow, it only adds to the fire of some and it will cause incitement. Speedway is struggling as it is and does not need further bad press in my opinion! Need to draw a line under this now and the club deal with any supporters caught will be thrown out the stadium going forward. Lets make one thing clear this isn't the Poole club I have supported for 35 years! we welcome all traveling fans to Wimborne Road!
  9. heavy showers passing through but might have dodged the worst of it looking at the radar
  10. Today
  11. Middleditch should have been apologetic about the minority of fans from Poole instead he tried to wave it away as banter , not acceptable.
  12. Pouring with rain to the west of Ipswich now...
  13. Indeed if this weather in Essex hits Ipswich they are done.
  14. What's the weather like in Ipswich, heavy rain & thunder & lightning on other side of Colchester at the moment
  15. Lanning should have absolutley NOTHING to do with it. I was stood by the pit gate as Cami was well aware of, and i didn't hear a thing. But, as i put in my post, if there was any bad language from "poole fans" im very sure that our management would like to know who the individuals are. Banter is one thing personel insults is another.
  16. The Aces have a bottom three at home, and a bottom four away... You cannot get away with such a long tail against the best team in the league... The bottom four will score 8 Max between them.. The Aces have averaged around just 37 this year at all away tracks... And that is with plenty of TS rides helping the score...
  17. SCB are basically saying we messed up, so we're going to punish Kent! Unbelievable!
  18. Whether the things quoted in the article or not were said, which I’m inclined to think they have been, some of the quotes are shameful. Yeah we all get a little competitive, especially against a rival, but wishing a rider dead after a crash? Come on man, that’s just barbaric. Whoever you are, whether you’re on this forum or not, take yourself away from the sport because there is absolutely NO place for comments like that. Yeah the Glasgow management are just banging the drum again, maybe to fire up the team or draw bigger crowd numbers in. It’s good marketing because it’s all people seem to be talking about. Talking should be done on the track, we all have riders who we like and dislike for whatever reasons, me included, but I wouldn’t for a second ever wish any of them dead. Anyways, as our “partners” up the tigers hopefully they get the win and knock the pirates out.
  19. The next three meetings at the NSSC offer an insight into organisations working hard to improve and support speedway. On Tuesday 16th September Bert Harkins and Peter Schroeck represent the World Speedway Riders Association. The WSRA is the oldest and most prestigious association for former riders, officials and supporters. Apart from their support of former riders the WSRA have sponsored the NDL for the last two seasons and offer other incentives for young riders. On Tuesday 14th October the NSSC host a special Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund evening. Joining Paul Ackroyd will be Chris Van Straaten and Jan Staechmann. Lots to discuss with some very interesting guests with all proceeds on the night going to the SRBF. On Tuesday 28th October the NSSC welcomes Pippa Laverty who is on the FIM Women’s Commission and the ACU Ambassador for Women. Another interesting evening discussing the future of women in speedway. All meetings start at 8pm. Everyone is welcome with entry only £4. All proceeds for the GB Young Lions (except for the Ben’ Fund evening) The venue is the Brandon Club (which is just down the road from the stadium) Brandon Club, Main Street, Brandon, Coventry, CV8 3HW Car park at rear and plenty of on-street parking. Full bar with hot drinks and snacks. All details; https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk
  20. When Belle Vue moved to the National Speedway Stadium many incentives to buy a season ticket were on offer. Year on year since then no incentives whatsoever, only a continual purge on the aging fans purse strings. Every club that offers season tickets should show how much the fans are appreciated by giving them a shirt/scarf. Why is everyone moaning about how so few fans wear team merchandise, when the reality is they cannot afford them. It was unjustifiable to raise the price for Mondays meeting and really what has club merchandise got to do with it?
  21. Well... I don't know if anyone has travelled south of Wolverhampton on a train but there are acres of no longer used delict ex-industry sites (they're a stones throw from Monmore). But it probably doubles the cost of developing the land for other use if demolishing & disposing of waste in such areas than developing on green space.
  22. I feel there is another agenda here to keep repeating it over and again in the press. Maybe trying to put off riders who are angling of a move to Poole over Glasgow?! Just a thought. Muddy the water?
  23. Belle Vue are doing okay like Glasgow but let’s say 45 years ago when they were in the hey day of speedway, football was still attracting massive attendance numbers, what was the draw? It was cheap to watch, it was cheap too ride (if you wanted) it was fairly regular most weekends you’d be at home and probably somewhere away, fairly local indeed and because of that it was tribal so if you were in a group of friends and went to watch it was the craic giving opposite team some stick and usually good fun and friends followed it (like Poland now), fast forward to today, premier league, Monday or Thursday nights, work, school etc after school clubs, more expensive than imho it should be (but let’s park that) and hardly any local derby and kids just not interested in the sport unfortunately unless they are actually riding themselves, and there are less and less of them because of the cost
