Well done Danny Phillips.....

He did.At the time you could afford to pay for admission

I have said all along the problem is cutting the team average down to a ridiculous level , it now means riders are thrown in against riders they have no chance against based on there average rather than there ability. It will do more harm than good when the distinct possibility of some of these young riders chucking it due to there confidence being shot to bits , they should have been allowed to progress at there own pace rather than thrown in at the deep end with next to no chance of doing anything As for Chessell this just highlights the average watering down, if they had been the 42 they should he would have been nowhere near a CL reserve position as is the case with most.

95% that's a lot who don't know or care you won't win the league if you can't win away from home

Don't bother going to Leicester then because there were at least 4 there tonight and sorry to disappoint you but no dog poo and no barking. You always know someone is losing the argument when they resort to stupid comments like taking a dog to the cinema . Speedway attendances of a few hundred people standing on a grassy bank as against thousands seated at a Football match is another daft comment not really worthy of a reply.

So you are a Dick then

perhaps Torun can use Bartosz Zmarzlik next week? After another couple of wonderful days of Polish action, trust British Speedway to bring us all down to earth with it's utterly farcical rules, which we insist are a necessary evil, even though no other Speedway league in the world employs them!

Homophobic comments about bikes now .

Don't think any of us sitting at a keyboard is in any position to mock a rider who has come back from such a serious injury. He gave it a shot and hats off to him for having the balls to do it. But it was best for all concerned he stepped down.

Oh no your back dividing up people into fans and supporters, anyway that`s rubbish. With these new fangled things such as social media and internet it is easier than ever to see and scrutinise our meetings home and away and see what riders is scoring what, if you think people are only interested in what Berwick do at home then you are wrong.

While he was doing the donut after heat 15, I remarked that he was showing us what he scored at Armadale last night

Pretty good meeting in far from ideal conditions it was so bitterly cold tonight. At least the rain stayed away. Would not have expected Sweden to win it, but Lindgren rode superbly and Ljung after a slow beginning did improve sufficiently during the meeting. Poland would still have won but for that last heat 3-3 against Germany, when local reserve Michael Härtel's single point against Patryk Dudek became the saviour for the German team and the match winner for Sweden. There was some decent racing on this track tonight, but the attendance was less than what it usually is for big meetings at this track, due to the uncertain and unpleasant weather conditions.

What a night , me and George pissed on the bus home, was a pleasure to meet totally honest John and watch the Tigers do the business

Having now caught up with the heat, I believe it was simply a racing accident with no blame on any rider. Zagar didn’t do anything dirty, just rode out to stop Doyle coming around him. Unfortunately the rider in white was leaning on Doyle and he was the sandwich filling, straightening up and taking himself and the other rider into the fence. Trouble was the bike gave him a big bash. Wishing a speedy recovery.

Nothing unlucky about it Lawson must be hanging his head in shame. For those that were not there Eastbourne led by 3 points and just wanted two from the last heat. Lawson made the gate and Nicholls nibbled at him all the way opening up a gap between them and Worrell who was having his battle with Kennett, on the third lap coming out of bend 4 Lawson hit the fence but bounced off and kept the lead, on the last lap coming out of bend 4 again he did exactly the same thing but this time fell with just a few yards to go thus giving the Lions a 5-1 to win the match. Knowing we only needed second to win the match why on earth did he not stick to a safe line even if Nicholls got the drive to beat him to the finish. The crowd were stunned and I think I still am P.S must congratulate the Lions on choice of Guest, first time at the track he was superb.

Pedersen is still a tremendous rider to watch. should be in the GP's.

Don’t know but at least he’s an asset, worth bugger all, but never the less an asset, Nice to see Danny win heat 2, just shows how clueless Rogers is

To be honest I haven't seen any posts that are out of order, sadly for him Chessell has found life in the Championship very hard and that has seem him scoreless and tailed off in most races, no good for rider or club. Time away and a few good scores in the NL will do him the World of good and you never know maybe another chance in the Championship.

Maybees aye and Maybees naw (he's a Berwick asset)

If the you tube goes http://www.maniak.tv/kanal-7 is working

Lambert's ability was made long before he joined the championship, even before the NL... Probably when the Germans gave him a chance when Britain didn't... Because he was 'too young' Same goes for the Spillers (Either one being a nice number 7 rider?)

Not mocking him at all, he’s had a year out and wasn’t good enough for Championship before his injury never mind after it? But it just doesn’t seem fair to me, should be any 2.00 not currently in a 1-7 imo but as they say, thems the rules.

Thanks for the tip , I will avoid Leicester then. as for " losing the argument " and " stupid comments " , your comments seem pretty stupid as well

Couldn’t disagree with a post more, what sort of ambition is that? What would you prefer Someone scoring 12 from 5 at home in 55-35 wins and 0 from 3 away in 49-41 defeats Or Someone scoring 7 from 4 at home in 50-40 wins and 5 from 4 away in 46-44 wins? I know what gets you more league points and trophies. You’re still winning on a weekly basis at home?

Luke Ruddick guesting in place of Chessell. It was a case of when and not if he decided to step down as he was so far off the pace.

Got to say I thought tonights meeting was brilliant i think the light showers helped prepare a perfect consistent track for the riders to produce some good close racing. Thank you to the Eastbourne team for finally giving the Leicester public a competitive meeting to watch & but for the final 3 heats it was close.

Why wouldn't you take 'em to speedway? I'm sure they would like Dean Barker, Tai Woofinden, Terrier Betts, and the like. Not forgetting Lassie Bjerre, or most of the Great Danes, actually... Steve

You have lost me with this one , come to think of it you lose most after the first paragraph. Now has a close member of my family been feeding you a line and you have been biting by any chance , or did the beer set in and all you heard was broad Glaswegian accents and you didn't really know what they were saying, so you just nodded your head like the Churchill dog in agreement.

Just seen Doyle’s instagram story and he says he has a broken rib and a hole in the lung, but he didn’t have a drain in so hopefully he’ll be back soon

Well, each team having a contracted no 8 from the Championship would be a stsrt now there's no race night clash. Effectively you are then employing a squad system. I mean, Torun wont replace Doyle with a rider of equal standing from their squad will they, so they will be weakened by it. It's part and parcel of credible sport.

Im sorry that i have to say this, but the warning signs are out for the Brummies already even this early in the season, History shows that Brummies fans have never supported a losing team, and this present Team are going to need strong shoulders, because they will be holding the rest of the League up for sure, they either need some more investors or need to unearth a talent that no-one is aware of..

Because the tac subs have to replace a named rider.

Ffs Dan, you really are a vile individual.

It's not a stand this time. It's just standing on the gravel same as last year.

Brilliant heat 7

Correct.. Just seen it.... If the other rider hadn't been there, Doyle would have had plenty of space to ride out wide into the dirt like so many do.. Zagar led going into the bend and moved Doyle over.. Nothing wrong with that..

Says he’ll be back for our next meeting which is good news.

What’s happened to Chris Widman. That’s another poor home meeting. Not matching a 3 point average. He’s been slipping over the last couple of seasons. For the good of the team they need to be brave enough to show him the door even though he’s the promoters son.

There were probably some even better examples of it at Leicester last night because at last there was a visiting team with fighting spirit. Thank you Eastbourne for some brilliant racing but thanks also to the Lions, down to 6 men after Josh's first heat crash, who never gave up and battled hard to get three 5-1's in the last heats.

Hold on can Glasgow get away with using other 2 pointers to replace half a lap behind Chessell? Like Flint and Brennan?

First rider whose autograph I asked for!! He was in the second half in the first meeting I ever went to and was number 1 in the averages by the end of the season. 1971 As I've said on here before the Second Half finals were often a bit like stock cars with the young men throwing their bikes at each other.

Riding for Workington?

Wrist injury for Josh. Agree that it was a good meeting to watch with some close racing throughout.

I believe at one point he was averaging just over ten at Lynn and just under four away.

The pairs format just isn’t my cup of tea, not enough genuine team riding. Thought tonight’s meeting was reasonable, plenty of FTG but more passing than I expected. Love watching Milik when he’s on it, fantastic entertainment. Absolute balls of steel.

Then they need to have a rethink. It’s crap.

I found it very boring. I don’t like pairs competitions, and like them even less after that. I recorded it, like I do all televised speedway meetings, but like many others, this tonight was deleted straight after. Let’s see what Belle Vue throws up.

Tbh George or Martin should beat Chessel,Simon will come good and max is still struggling with bike issues...

I've taken a few dogs to the pictures over the years.
