This one was behind closed doors: British Speedway webite

Every club in the prem has to run some second half’s or do a development league individual tournament, otherwise they get a fine,

Redcar might have asked for a later start time ? weather for the weekend looks good .

You think a fixture gets arranged around one AWAY rider ? 😉 This season has been the worst I can remember for gaps in fixtures and the number of guest riders. Would have normally attended this one but I might check on the weather forecast first as it’s now a bit of a nothing fixture.

Glad you are back Dean. 👍

Hopefully not too many fans will have been driven away by this latest Speedway shambles. Diehards like myself are used to it and will keep coming back but there are a lot of new fans at Northampton who the club simply cannot afford to lose.

Yep... In Oldbury the 'Toys R Us' is known as 'Toys Am We' 😁

As a matter of interest, what was the "junior meeting" in the afternoon?

Not sure that the Tigers are good at handling young riders. Boughen was another who didn't seem to fit in/ be part of the team. Pijper tells of there being too much pressure at Glasgow and how he is more settled at Redcar. Bickley possibly another and Berge perhaps as well.

Lets hope it's not off tonight otherwise there will be a fixtures log jam with BSN covering a meeting each night next week.

Not in the Black Country it isn’t

Poole should go all out for the match win, this is about building momentum, there is stiffer opposition to come I'm thinking.

Not much interest from Monarchs? Met forecast showing heavy rain before start time then 60-80% chance of rain after.

it was ever thus, though... Watching Peter Collins on World Of Sport winning ten races, (max) a season from the back, in brilliant fashion, wasn't replicated at Hyde Rd each week given he often won races there by half a straight... But what he did on WOS got the crowd in to watch him ride for the Aces . The majority of races since the sport began have been strung out, from the gate, therefore showing highlights, just like World Of Sport showed, will hopefully get people there .. Then, it is up to the promoters to raise their game (very considerably), in regards to their "on the night" presentation standards off the track, and the entertainment level on it...

Yes, it should be would HAVE, not would OF!

What’s the point you are trying to make

And I if hear riders safety one more time🤬firstly racing motorbikes is dangerous, don’t like that fact do something else, 2nd,ok riders let’s talk about lowering the revs by 2000revs on the engines and make them less volatile and ultimately a considerable amount safer to ride ? No I didn’t think so

I would of raced last night but riders were of a different mindset back in the day and we raced engines that were suited to the conditions not conditions suited to the engines, with that statement can anyone see where the problem is ???

So both teams at full strength with no guests. Whats the weather forecast locally? Poole Co-Promoter Danny Ford calling for a professional performance from the Pirates, so I guess the initial target will be 34 points by heat 10. Lets hope BSN have sorted their issues from last night........!!

There were no bangers or hot rods last weekend. 😉

3 day meetings are few and far between, especially on shale, but this was a major championship weekend for 2 formulas, with 2 other formulas in support, and many drivers from overseas. It was programmed a year ago (I booked my accommodation in October) so it's not like it was a surprise. Last night's meeting was supposed to run on 27th August, but was postponed and with the Foxes already having matches programmed on 3rd and 10th September, last night was the only option to run before the cut off. Good job they didn't qualify for the play offs as there is another 3-dayer at the end of the month, due to another promotion hiring the track for their major event.

Absolutely - the on-the-night experience needs to be tightened up, with lots of engaging, interesting interviews, plus noise and colour - it's been proven in other sports (T20 cricket is the obvious example).

Invariably, GPs do go ahead - which shows the influence of money and of the riders (I bet they were all set up in the pits and ready for action). Even so, does Vojens have three days of stock car, hot rod and banger racing a few days before?
