    Cradley 2016

    Very surprised at how poor Cradley were today. Was amazed to see Ben Basford pop up from behind the fence after that awful looking smash, these speedway riders are tough. Witnessed an impressive performance from Jordan Jenkins today, huge future ahead of him. Nice to see lots of Cradley supporters today, been to Monmore to watch a couple of meetings this season and always enjoy the atmosphere.

    Strange Kent

    Anyone remember Drury's stunt of somehow getting Danny King and Tony Dart at reserve for the Knockout Cup Final against Rye House? Not sure what year it was but Drury was certainly known for those sort of stunts, be surprised if anyone has sympathy for him.

    Premier League 4's

    Only went to today's racing but a fantastic day. I think the BSPA deserve a lot of credit for the weekend and I can only see it improving as it goes on year by year. A fantastic performance from Plymouth and fully deserved win. Jack Holder was sensational, what a prospect. All in all a very entertaining 16 heats. Slightly disappointed to turn up and find out two more heat leaders had dropped out. Anyone know why Lambert, Summers and Robson were at the meeting but not riding in the individual? Presumably the money issue but all riders involved today deserve a massive pat on the back for some excellent racing. I'm sure I wasn't the only one expecting Steve Worrall to win the final but a cracking win for Douglas and despite the bizarre format (definitely needs looking at), some decent racing was provided including Bjerre and Andersen seemingly trying to knock each other off each race and finally coming to a head in their last race. Both were fantastic entertainment though. Another disappointment of the day was hearing a woman on the back straight screaming 'Ostergaard you cheating b******d' after he knocked off Pijper. Clearly a poor move but no need for that sort of language in an area full of young children but not a lot you can do with some people. A very enjoyable day on a cracking race track. Well done all.

    2016 Speedway Gp Qualifiers

    I'm sure it's all good experience for him and it would be brilliant to see another Brit qualify but surely he's not ready for a full year in the GP's? Saying that, Dudek, Kasprzak and Pawlicki for me. Don't think we'll ever see Hampel ride in a GP again.

    2016 Speedway Gp Qualifiers

    Surely too early for Lambert?

    Eastbourne 2016

    Anyone know what happened to Marc Owen? Saw on twitter he'd had an accident.

    Mildenhall -v- Cradley Off

    I understand Kevin Jolly's issue regarding Williamson replacing Chessell but what does he really want? Cradley are working within the permitted rules. Also, does he want the fans to turn up and watch Mildenhall race against Clegg and Morris and then, with no disrepect to Basford, Andrews and Cupitt but three three pointers and then another one that would have to be bought in. Speedway is still an entertainment sport and without a third heat leader, the meeting would've been over after ten or eleven heats. He's messed up terribly here and it'll be very interesting to see what happens. Excuse my ignorance, but is he in sole charge of Mildenhall speedway?

    British Final

    Might be the only person but I think Harris will win this tonight. Cook for the wildcard with Lambert and Nicholls in the final. Stevie Worrall and Danny King in the semi. Hope the rain stays away, should be a cracking meeting. One of the best to watch across the season so hopefully rain won't play its part.

    Peterborough Panthers 2016

    Don't see the issue here? Peterborough have their GB rider, he's just done well so is promoted into the main team. Speedway is still a result's business, Peterborough have every right to make a move they feel will strengthen their side.

    Birmingham V Eastbourne 01/06

    Should be a cracking meeting. Can't see how anyone can think Wajtknecht won't be giving it his all because of the Under 21 semi on Saturday. I think if they had any concerns about being injured, they wouldn't be speedway riders at all! Birmingham by 10 for me.

    Mildenhall V Birmingham Sunday 15th May

    Where was Armstrong?

    Stars V Tigers

    Saw on updates that Sam Bebee has a suspected broken wrist. Any news on Rob Parker?

    Stars V Tigers

    Hoping it'll be a good meeting tonight. Stars by 10 for me. Anyone know why Halsey isn't there?

    Ipswich 2016

    I might be wrong but I'm sure I read an interview with Shanes saying he wasn't ready. He was brilliant at Mildenhall this year and certainly looked good enough. I feel like Louis would give his first chance to Hume if he decided replace Ritchings but it must be too early for him. Who knows though, a couple more meetings and Ritchings could improve like Castagna has. Has Ritchings been off the pace or just not quite good enough?

    British Final

    Harris, Auty, Stead, Garrity, Kennett, Robert Lambert and Howarth from Scunthorpe for me. Maybe Bates to cause an upset or Wilkinson if he has his bikes sorted and push Garrity or Howarth. Kerr unlikely on present form. Nicholls, King, Barker, R Worrall, Lawson, Cook and Bridger from Glasgow. Charles Wright or Steve Worrall to cause a shock up there if anyone.

    Ipswich 2016

    James Shanes, Connor Mountain or Danyon Hume to replace Ritchings? Or will Louis give him more time?

    Tai's Training Schools

    Well done Tai Woffinden. From the amount of posts on this thread compared to his British Championship antics, it's clear to see people are happier to complain and slag off riders rather than hand out praise. Excellent work from Tai, hopefully a couple of youngsters will see the long term benefits.
  18. I was another who's main reason to go to West Row yesterday was to watch Adam Ellis. The rules allow it and I don't see the issue personally. Dan Halsey beating him in heat 1 shows that he will lose races. I'm sure the Mildenhall top three would've been looking forward to trying to get one over on him. Very impressive start for Sam Bebee, looking calm and composed. Think Mildenhall will do ok this year but might struggle away from home. Think Charley Powell will get better once he learns to overtake. Had the pace on Bebee a couple of times yesterday but just couldn't get past.

    Sky Cancel Again

    How long is Sky's current deal? Can see them walking away soon.

    Ipswich 2016

    Ashley Morris replacing Paco in the near future?

    Coventry V Eastbourne 28th March

    Who are the six that Connor Dugard tried to sign? Any ideas?
  22. All the best to Kyle Hughes after his crash at Eastbourne Friday but does anyone know who is replacing him at Mildenhall tomorrow?
