Very Good. 🤣🤣

HaHa!!! 🤣🤣 Nice one. I loved watching the Rider, not the Leathers. To this day I still think he was our best Rider in the 70's. I used his nickname as my handle on here as a sort of tribute to him - that's all there is to it. 🙂

Had all you can eat cooked brekkie earlier and a couple of pre meeting flat white's ☕ ☕ to set me up perfectly for tonight's treble clincher. Mind u the baked beans are giving me a bit of a treble clincher! 😂 C'mon the Boyzzz ☠️ 💪 Me predictor indicates 52-38 ☠️💪

The dog bowl at Belle Vue had a betting box where you could bet on each race... Wasn't a well known betting company from what I remember... Didn't last too long, so presume not enough interest.

I can remember some betting at a track, many years ago. You had to guess the finishing order, by helmet colour, and the decimal point of the race time. Always seemed like, although speedway knowledge would help for the first part, the second was just random luck. Was not a success so the bookies gave it up. I personally thought at the time, that if races got delayed, so bets could be put on, that I would give up following speedway.

I hope upon hope that if the Premiership remains in its current form next year, there are more than five teams contesting it. Five teams would not only be boring but would make a mockery of the sport. It was bad enough with seven teams but five teams (maybe racing each other six times in the league alone) would be madness. Fans would soon switch off with the same riders week in, week out. If the two leagues do not amalgamate (my preferred option but I understand the pitfalls), then please have at least seven teams in the Premiership.

Yes, because if Dan had won that Super Heat, we would've "won" the heat... by four points to five.

NK by any chance?

Maybe Sheffield and Leicester might require lower costs especially with the loss of tv revenue?

Fricke on his way back down from "up North"?

I believe that was the whole reason the green helmet colour was introduced in the Sky days, the idea being you could use the Sky remote to bet on a helmet colour. But it never really went anywhere. I think it will happen sometime sooner or later, it's just how it all works and I guess safeguards as well towards people trying to rig it or play the system. As inevitably somebody will be along to ruin it for everyone at some point.

Joe Owen I remember twisted his body going in and out of the bends

Personally don’t think Superheat is a satisfactory way of deciding meeting. 2 nominated riders in a Match Race is a fairer outcome.IMO

1. M. Fricke 2. K. Howarth 3. L. Becker 4. R. Lawson 5. S. Masters 6. P. Castagna 7. (RS) = 40.00 or 1. M. Fricke 2. K. Howarth 3. L. Becker or R. Lawson 4. N. Morris (D/UP with Berwick?) 5. S. Masters 6. J. Jeppesen (D/UP with Berwick?) 7. (RS) = 39.28 / 39.22

Weather is currently sunny, cool and breezy. Forecast is for the occasional short,sharp shower later! Track looks damp from the pix on fb! COYP.

Harris was trying to help Howarth get in to the points, I think he would have won the race if it was not a super heat.

Easy win for the Pirates. Shovvy and LBW will be drinking champagne out the cup about 9:45 pm. Lawson max. The Bears have given up.

There's no guarantee a guest would score more than r/r,.so it doesn't mean Redcar have given up on the tie. As King & Edwards can take an extra ride, no point giving a 5 pointer, who may be no better than Mulford a guest booking. Mind you, even with the best guest possible can't see Poole failing to hit 50 points.

Eastenders

Wonder whether Arry has come up with any new ideas yet

Nermarks style was quite columbasum he tended to lock up

Certainly agree on John Cook & Bobby 'Showtime' Ott. For armchair riders, I considered Gote Nordin & Bengt Jansson set the bench mark for Leigh Adams to join it a few years later.
