  1. it's the historic clash of the lady racers this Weds after the Brummies v Scunthorpe clash as for the first time in speedway history two ladies race in a league encounter.

    This originally was happening on May 22nd after the Edinburgh clash but the heat 15 crash for Josh Pickering meant we wouldn't have got through the meeting before the curfew.
    So DUCTAIR BULLS skipper Rachel Hellowell takes on Weymouth's Francesca Kirtley-Paine in the MSDL meeting .

    Just watched it too.

    Needed to see what happened, as Bickley was in 2nd place as he went by me on turn 1. Due to lots of dust, the next thing I saw was the riders shooting down the back straight with Bickley 4th! The dust really was a problem, Ok on lap 1, not so good on lap 2, and then had to wait and see who came out where by the pits after that.

    Shame as it spoilt a decent meeting.

    What on earth is going on regarding souvenirs? Very poor, even by NL standards.

    Dust was a problem . water going down but drying so quickly . With the old type surface it soaked in better but now it doesn't …. as for souvenirs new stock awaited and should be here next home meeting . New lines coming in

    Why does the Premiership meeting being on TV stop the Development League  match taking place? Maybe a short break would be needed to allow the TV people to finish their comments but then there is no reason to change things.

    think it's because the tv crews and vans take up a lot of pits space that is needed for the bikes etc …..plus after the meeting they are taking down the rigging etc ...it's been he same at most tracks when there have been televised meetings

    Looks like the wrong call was made here the conditions by the looks and sounds of things would of been perfect for a speedway meeting. 

    hindsight is an amazing thing. The weather forecasts all predicted almost 9 mm of rain in a 4 to 5 hour period and the costs promoters face with late call offs is large with no income coming in ….. this was the Brummies local derby and a big crowd was predicted …..how many would have been turned off coming with the forecasts on radio stations and tv alone ??? Promoters can't win can they ?
