    I thought PK was struggling with injury leading up to the first GP but he won that!!,maybe he thinks its now in his race routine leading up to the GPs!!!

    Wimbledon Reunion

    Fantastic entertaining rider in the latter years at Wimbledon.Infact too entertaining one night,when he crashed,and his wife steamed into the open pits that people can se from the terraces and seemed to be saying enough is enough,and proceeded to pack his stuff away in the middle of the meeting.!!!!! When she tried to take his bike back to his van,Mark held onto it and a verbal discussion took place with a bit of armwaving thrown in.Ovcourse the fans on the terraces saw this and kinda joined in with all the antics.Eventually his wife calmed down enough and returned to watching on the terraces where she always watched,and it was all taken in good humour.Hope he tells the story better then me,it was so funny and made the evening for everyone.!!!!!! Think Mark went on to win another heat so maybe it was all good all round!!!!!
  5. Sorry Steve,i cant agree that Peterborough are to blame,from the start of the season they declared TWO race nights,and for that very reason you CANT state their is a problem because in hiring Cook there is more a question of how the rule can be interpretated and common sense can come into play so he can ride.If they ONLY raced on Fridays i can see your point.Im the first to slam double ups,and i really dont like them,but even i can see past my hate of the situation and say there isnt really a problem with cook racing in both leagues.
  6. The main stumbleing block seem to be Peterboroughs race night being the same as Belle vue,but is there anything in the rule book to say Peterborough have 2 race nights and they could say that their other race night being taken into account? Also could it work against Peterborough saying that they cant sign another rider they are interested in because he cant double up on their other race night?!!!! To me it seems the rule isnt watertight like most of the rules in speedway!!!!!!

    Lakeside V Swindon 22 April Ela

    You have just made the case for me,so thanks for that,so if they are going to loose as you say around £5,000,my point again is,what have they got to loose if any forward thinking promoter to get the match on.Hes chucking away that money again as you say.Its a business as you again say,so how do you again defend jc(and its not his money but sd's) for not trying to at least give it a go.Again if you are that worried about costs ,all swindon riders are in the uk,so it just leaves 3 lakeside riders to fly in.Are you telling me he is going to call off the meeting so early and is willing to loose the money you again stated.Mind blowing how fans can back a decision like this,with the facts you have just given me, Ps time 5pm still perfect speedway conditions,infact they may have to water the track if it started now!!!

    Lakeside V Swindon 22 April Ela

    I understand where you are coming from,and the fact you make about blank dates in the calender,they seem to be not too bothered because the fixtures are so thin on the ground,but the cost facts are ALL Swindon riders are in the country so if JC is just worried about his riders costs he needs shooting.Again there is total lack of forsight or drive that one man has the ability to call this off.Coventry are also riding tonight, and reading posts on other forums Poole wanted this fixture cancelled,but Coventry bravely stuck to their guns so the meeting goes ahead tonight,and i dont know what weather forcasts Mr Horton is looking at but that match is still on,with similar weather forcast for them!!!

    Lakeside V Swindon 22 April Ela

    Totally understandable, forecast is crap. I really do get annoyed when i read this,in this day and age this should never happen,i couldnt care less what the weather people say,theres been no rain for days here in Darford ,the ground is bone dry,and if by anychance they had track covers to work under there is NO NEED to call this match so early.Its not like Swindon fans are traveling from Scotland,its quite local,and if i was a promoter in this instance i would try 110% to get the meeting on.Pure lazy ,and cant be arsed to name a few words somes up their motivation to get this match on.Really bad as its been called off to so called weather experts ,a million miles away from any speedway match,the ref doesnt care to inspect the track,they just go with the flow,British speedway has nothing in place to stop this kind of thing happening.Looks like jon cook alone made the call.whats he got another function to get to tonight,so hes thinks he may as well pospone it.Completely stupid to call a meeting off on the evidence of bad weather happening,when they can do so much to help or invest in some kind of track cover where they can still work on the track.

    2016 Speedway Gp Qualifiers

    Nice to tell the riders before they make arragements to come to the uk,practice and get sorted for the Kings Lynn round on may 7th.Jonathan Iturre from Argentina did this and now he ends up going to Lonigo Italy.Talk about being messed around for his first attempt at quifications.

    Plymouth Vs Rye House (lc) - 15/04/16

    Nice to see Edward going so well,i think thats 17 races without being beaten by an opponent!!!
  18. Ive never liked the track at leicester,but i have to say at least they are trying put right,what should have happened from the start.There were too many people with a view as to how to design a trac,one minute sam ermolenko was involved the next he wasnt.At least the racing seemed to get better as the meeting went on and justin S did come from last to second in his final ride,showing you can pass done on the white line if riders are not careful.OK it was only Ulamek whos not very good when not leading,but at least it shows you can pass either round the boards or down low on turn 3 and 4.Think Leicester fans will start to enjoy their meetings from now on,its looking good.

    Rye House V Ipswich Witches 9th April

    Made my first visit to Rye for quite some time. On the plus side,looks like they have all the kit to produce a decent race track.The viewing is great,Rye look solid. On the minsus side ,no lighting on the way out of the stadium through the car park.!!,can someone tone down the 2 minute buzzer down,its quite loud if you dont expect it right next to you!!! Nice to see Robert Mear doing about 12 laps trying to sort out his bike problems,who knows can he double up?!! Trevor Swales was spotted with osterguaard.Must have been on a scouting mission for next week!!!! Just a quick word on the witches,as others have said Nico looks class,and you have to feel a bit sorry for Paco,he tried 100% even off 15m,Its the first time ive seen him,the amount of flak hes got on here i thought he was very unlucky tonight,and im sure he will come good.

    Polish Horror Crash On Sunday-they Both Walked Away

    Easy decision in my eyes.BOTH should be excluded! Dudek -not under power pk As unfort as it was,he has to be excluded as well as both the other riders had managed to pass Dudek,its just very unlucky on PK but he caused the stoppage and has to go also.

    Leicester Lions 2016

    TIMO Lahti always has first class equipment,hes a gater,and the Leicester track would be ideal.Maybe he has other things planned ,but surely worth a try.
  23. Who would you like as guest then? Nothing wrong with Andersen as guest,will get double figure score.

    Belle Vue -v Wolves 25-03-16 Good Fiday

    I couldnt care less if it rains,have they high tec track covers installed at the stadium for easy use.SOMEONE must know.Lessons learned from past call offs surely they would have built in motorized track covers,that allow working on the track while it rains overhead!!!!!!
