Whats the track going to be like tonight as here come the steady drizzle!!! im 6 miles from the track

Is stuart Douglas still the owner at Lakeside as heres been very quite recently,anyone seen him around the place lately?

Robert Lambert +1 4/7 against J kylmakorpi bet 365

27TH APRIL SKY MEETING LIVE Belle Vue -8 10/11 with Bet 365 K Bjerre +1 againt D North has to be the call at 11/10 !!!!!

Have to admit i was quite enjoying the racing and watching Chris Harris handle the track conditions was even more enjoyable,he never looked like making a mistake and just gave it 100%. Some riders acually look for ruts to fire themselves forward.Cant see any reason to blame the ruts,makes it interesting to see riders thinking how to attack the track,and not always racing on a billiard table surface.Anyone know if there was any kind of kerfew in place as to what time the meeting ends,and if the stadium was booked for sunday.I cant think of any other reason to call the meeting off.

Anyone know who the very proffessional" sounding "!!FIM JURY are who mad the call to call the meeting off.or was it someone else who called the meeting off?!! im confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there no rules set out to get a grand prix standard track?How does the world gov body give clearence on a track that has not been raced on? Seems bonkers to me that they didnt have to have a dress rehearsel with some kind of open meeting in order to get a grand prix standard licence to run the event!!!!

THANKS from me also R/R for taking the time to run this comp,always good fun with a bit of banter!!!!! AJ £50 MORE J DOYLE £50 MORE Thanks

I know it didnt make any diff to the end result but did anyone else see the russians taking a short cut?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.flickr.com/photos/16666591@N07/16492763814/

You cant blame lakeside as they were at full strenth,but surely we should follow other countries and have a "squad system" to allow riders to come in at short notice and teams to track riders in their own squad .why are we stuck in our ways and dont see the need to change? Its crazy,i love to know why we dont offer riders in the squad system,is it because of retainers and simply about money?But take Craig Cook for example,hes done great to get a team place in Poland,but he wont ride every sunday,so what kinda contract is he on and why cant we offer similar to overseas riders?

On the winners podium -Bech didnt ride -KK (kinda dint ride!!) But where was Troy for the Aussies? just forgot or?

Have i missed something but did Leicester use their second t/s ride?

Maybe next season we could have an intreval/whatever goes match race between sean and somone called roman!!! follow that up with Rob Tilbury v anyone who dares to race him!!!!

Surely lewis could have worked something out with Cam Woodward,who hes known for years and are both eastbourne assets.Maybe along the lines they could share the equipment 50/50 ,maybe cam has some engines still in use,I just cant beleive all avenues have gone down to find a solution.Maybe Meridian lifts can get lewis going!!!

Denis Sigalos was silky smooth a clean rider who could pass inside and out,and great tem man.as was cowboy cook. I grew up watching Andy Galvin,who was always in the thick of the action!!! A great racer and team rider. Kelly Moran was a pleasure to watch and talk to,sadly missed.

What i dont get is that Bridger had one of his best seasons in Speedway for Lakeside and he ends up quitting the sport at the endd of the season because in his words I fell out of love with speedway"".Surely the past season should have spurred him on to go even better this year,but it seems to have the opposite effect!!!.Whats he gonna do now work wise?

What about a yellow/red card system issued by start marchall and backed up by the ref.

Agree there needs to be some form of punishment for riders who do the professional foul,maybe a yellow and red card system,but NOT awarding races that last just 2 laps!!.I go all over the country watching speedway as a neutral and if this happens 2 of 3 times a meeting,im not going to bother supporting speedway,as the other ones being punished are the fans like myself who pick matches where they might see good racing.i also agree with you that the Poole riders were very unlikely to be caught,but you cant say 100% what would have happened if Max had the chance to try!!!Refs awarding races light this cant be allowed to continue its killing the sport,

OK i undestand where you are coming from,but the rider that went down WASNT THE ONE EXCLUDED!! .Harris knocked him off before lap 2 had even started,Harris excluded,it got to be one of the worst decisions ive seen as seconds before that Max had just been past by the 2nd Poole rider,riding hard into the 3rd bend,but before Max could get his bearings and respond,he was wiped out by Harris!!!.How the ref can even start to think about awarding the race,when the rider who is "supposed to be" not going to challenge the poole riders,cant challange because he is in the fence!!!.Im a neutral in all this and the decision is so bad that im going to take it up with somone,im not to sure who,but im going to make my feelings known!!!

What!!! This decision is one of the worst ive ever seen. Firstly to award the race was a farse,the ref had clearly been told to move the meeting on at all costs,because of the weather,heat 2 was also a jump start but he let it go. 2- Frickle had just been passed by the Poole boys when harris wiped him out,whos to say Max could not have repassed the poole boys,you just cant say that when he was passed 5 seconds earlier. 3-someones telling porkies,when Havy was intereviewed he said the ref said Harris!!!! had no chance of catching the poole boys!!! Harris was excluded wasnt he?!! do we know 100% he was exluded . 4 If you are going to have 2 lap races 2 or 3 times during the meeting,how can you expect the fans to come back ? Talk about being short changed,i dont know what the ref is doing awarding races at any cost when people pay good money to watch 4 lao racing.At least the flag man on the track thought the same as me and tried to give value with an extra lap in one heat!!!! 5 who was the ref last night?.It should be standard to say who the ref is before heat 1

Poole speedway from June 2013,where did these FULL TRACK covers go? https://twitter.com/poolespeedway

Will ward get any restrictions on his passport,will this go down anywhere else on public record?

What would have happened if KK stayed on and completed 4 laps?!! most proberbly nothing,i still think its only G Broadie who has excluded a rider after a race has finished,and where did that come from after all those years where nothing was being done!!!.Ill think we will have to wait a number of years again before a ref excludes a rider after the race!!! which in my mind was totally wrong when it did happen.

Phillip,did anything happen in the pits when KK ran across the centre green and into the pits to find Nikki? Many KK reations tipped the balance in his favour when the ref saw that!!

No worries just run it before the final!!! and the team who wins can then have pick of guests from the team they have just knocked out!!!!!! simples!!!!
