You seem obsessed with men's helmets!

What a night! After some bad luck in the first heat it looked like we were in for a long night but the Comets dug deep and really impressed especially with limited experience around the STMP. Great to have plenty of supporters making lots of noise!

Cookie only gave his own honest opinion which he is entitled to do. The difference is he's not hiding behind a keyboard like many others on here do..

Sadly because it fits an agenda used by a minority of the people on this platform. Sadly, this minority won't be happy until they see another club fold and close, without realising the knock on effect of such a decision. It would leave an entire region, not just a city/town - the whole of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Gloucestershire without a team. Just let that sink in for a minute? Millions of people without a team to support, they'd rather that happened than see the Gladiators make a good go at things. I really feel for Mark, he's constantly getting battered from all sides (including by riders from other clubs!) despite doing what he can with what he's got. People are more than entitled to their views I get that, hence why we are on a public forum discussing it however most of the time, it's not constructive, it's not helpful and it's hurtful what people say about the Gladiators.... However, it's us against the world and we're going to embrace that!! "No one likes us, we don't care... We are Plymouth..."

Would any of these helmet complaints made a blind bit of difference to the meeting getting rained off... No. The clerk of course would've asked the ref to cancel 2 minutes this delaying the meeting further. Bomber would probably still got the 5-1 off 15m for that matter. So it's all bluster for the sake of bluster. But given whose leading it should we be surprised

Yeah thats another crazy thing. Fans are quick to complain about lack of value at speedway yet when promoters agree to delay 15 minutes to give fans as strong a meeting as they can they get hammered for that too. I cant believe I am sticking up for promotions but in this case I think they are getting unfair stick (and unlike some I speak out when I think someone is being treated badly)

I know the word legend gets thrown about far too easily nowadays but the guy is an absolute legend of British speedway! I know it’s a bit of a standing joke of who is Harris guesting for tonight but one thing is sure the day he retires speedway will be all the poorer for it.

A bit battered and bruised she got a lift to penrith on supporters bus, as she is flying to Italy in the morning for a meeting on Sunday

I have just checked now. The substances were revealed in the SCB press release after the hearing. Previous press releases didn't specify.

Looking a wee bit silly with that comment now.

Say that again Mac.

He has a house?????!!!!

I’m with @iainb on this one. I’ve just watched the meeting back on BSN and Cook’s demeanour when speaking to Roynon during the pre-meeting captain interviews was shocking. Considering the last time Cook was at Redcar was the CLRC where he looked like he was trying to impersonate a speedway rider, it’s no wonder someone may anticipate the worst. Again, delighted to see Cook back to winning races and meetings, but let’s not deny what was clear for everyone to see.

Leon likes a bit of dirt, track was slick due to weather, the lad needs track time. He's come to Glasgow to try and press forward in his career so he deserves a chance to find his feet then push on. Get behind riders and not on their backs, look at last season when many had written off both Pijpper & Complin at the start of the season, yet both played major parts in Glasgows success last season. Nothing has ever been won at the start of the season, let the team grow then see where we're at come the time to kick up a gear.

I dont think it was Stevie Lawsons fault either!

I know you can blame speedway promotions of r a lot of things but to be honest I dont think rain of biblical proportions can be down to them

This aged well !!!!! Clueless

The latter but things should be fine as long as nobody tells her like my brother for example.

Im trying to figure out if you are brave and single or married and have a death wish lol

Very thoughtful and considerate not wanting to pass anything on to us.

So what’s new, it’s been like that at Lynn for ages

A friend at Lynn said nothing was said about John Louis at all which is a real shame because of his standing within the sport.

What I am suggesting, is speedway fans say tracks are lost due to promoters only renting the stadium, but speedway has been lost, when promoters own their stadiums!

Yeah, knowing how old most of us speedway fans are, they probably need to produce a large-print version of the mag...

I'm sure you are right about that. So, for some of us at least, the NL/PL split was a great blessing!
