Good luck all..... Safe meeting

Are there updates anywhere? I can answer my own question..... chatzone as usual

We need Sam better too as he has been sick all week Hoping for a good safe meeting for all and keep the scores close for the second leg. Unfortunately, we can't go now so good luck lads

Congratulations to Somerset and their excellent travelling fans, I hope you enjoyed the rest of your night back at your hotel and the heads weren't too sore for the long journey home today Keep the cup polished 'cause we want it back next year tho'....... Oh, and BTW, my air horn is still better than yours!!!!

Was there never supposed to be a semi and final or did they run out of time? Really great to see the highest scorer on the night win ...... IMO that's how it should be Congratulations to Ben

Well done our lad Cookie and Good Luck to BelleVue in the final

If there are more insults George, I will say the same to them...... There is no need for personal insults

Personal insults..... No need for that!!! Huge well done to our Monarchs for such a great tour and thanks to all the Somerset fans who congratulated us and also applauded our boys on the post match parade

It seems the bands will not be ready in time for me to bring them South and the good folks at Newcastle have underestimated the demand. More have been ordered so patience will be required. The first batch will be on sale at Newcastle on Sunday

Re- wrist bands..... If someone can get them up to Armadale track shop on Friday..... I am heading for Rye House on Sat / Peterborough on Sunday / BelleVue on Monday and Somerset on Tuesday More than happy to distribute / sell them

I just want to add my sincere best wishes to Lewis and his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Thoughts are also with Josh and full praise to Cookie for his superb lay down Huge praise to the track medic and staff and helimed. We will certainly join the collection on Sunday

Now there's a thought!!! Can you imagine how good Berwick could be with Doc on the tractor!!! You'd have to give him those big fellas, he'd be ecstatic Seriously tho' all this doom and gloom is sad and, as I have said before, Berwick is a great venue. A fans trust like Edinburgh's could make a huge difference tho' or a Grand draw. We all know how generous Berwick fans are, you only have to look at every years Ben Fund collection and how quickly the buckets come out and fill up whenever a rider is in need. I would suggest it has to work WITH the promotion as the logistics of fans "having a say" is probably unworkable in the long term. Losses can be huge and difficult to plug but it all helps.

100% agree

Well done Plymouth and Cookie on another track record

Does anyone have a video link? I too have heard 2 versions and, at worst, a racing accident, unfortunately made worse by Stuart having nowhere to go. I am certain Ritchie will take no pleasure from Lasse's injury status

I was not there so I cannot comment on the crash but my best wishes to Lasse for a speedy recovery. Any news on Jan?

Well done to both teams, sounds like an entertaining meeting and a fair result. Huge well done to Cookie on a well deserved maximum and track record. I really wish I'd been able to go....... Hope Gino is OK

Congratulations to Ipswich on a well deserved win. Deserved winners of the meeting and the final!!!!! Such a pity the Somerset lads can't get through their heads that a final race is over 4 laps and not just bends 1&2. Have to feel for young Brady tho' ...... Talented rider! Track preparation on such a hot day, full marks to track staff I have one gripe, please bring back the "walkabout cider sellers!!!!" Thanks, some great photos!!!

I'm definitely in the "kill the joker" corner. I would compromise allowing it if 10 points behind but definitely not 6

More importantly, best wishes to the folks injured on the M6. Sounds nasty and seems like the dreaded M6 claimed a few others too yesterday with 1 fatality in another crash earlier in the day

Congratulations to Redcar on the win. Our tail exposed but it was a nice warm night Great celebrations from the Bears fans and all very friendly

Race times tell a different story from the wee Lasse too ..... Ht 1 - 56, ht 11 - 56.2, ht 15 - 57.1

Definitely seemed like a good collection for Kozza, terrible injuries, made worse by being so far from home, best wishes for a speedy recovery lad

Loved it...... Soooooo good to see Wayne "ROCKY" Carter back on track...... Way to go m8..... Hope you got your good nights sleep!!!

Superb speedway yesterday from the riders of both teams on a lovely day. I always enjoy a trip to meet the lovely folks at Scunny at a great stadium. The track staff produced a track that supported loads of passing especially high and wide which is gr8 to watch. A Monarchs win was just the job but the return of Wayne "ROCKY" Carter was the icing on the cake...... Well done m8. Also nice to meet up and chat with Gary Stead Alex Davies gets the most exciting (but scary) rider award from me and I've no idea how he and Theo stayed on their bikes in their ht 15 "wall of death" act. Poor Carrie Pijper almost went into labour!!! I'm so glad Cookie held back from the burst round the outside or it would've been messy
