Congratulations Chris Holder, an excellent World Champion.

Well done Frankie, what a legend!

Well done to the Hornets, thoroughly enjoyed this meeting. Some very good racing. These Hornets boys seem to be punching above their weight at the moment with wins over Hackney and Mildenhall recently.

Just had a call from Steve Mallett from the stadium. The meeting is definately on and the track looks perfect.

Some very talented riders on show today, good meeting and those 40+ heats were well pushed through. Very enjoyable to go over and watch the youngsters of the future making their way in the sport.

I can see that Diesel has posted the names announced today for the New Year Classic. However, thought it deserved it's own thread. So names announced so far are Leigh Lanham Kevin Doolan Lewis Bridger David Howe Steve Boxall

I always enjoyed watching Marc when he rode for the Hornets last year he is a real young talent. Lets hope next season is much better for him injury wise than this and that he has a swift recovery.

I guess its well done to the Hornets, but first of all I hope that both the lads are alright.

I'm sure Streety has some kind of recognition in Australia for his services to Speedway. How many Aussies can you get in a Speedway meeting ?

James did do really well today he rode his guts out. The Hornets with just the 5 riders fended off the Weymouth team really well after they took an 8-1 in a tactical ride off us too. A bit of a coming together on the 3/4th turn for Kyle Newman who seemed to lock up and collected Tom Young who came off worst in the spill. Kyle looked ok up and about however Tom was taken off to hospital with possible rib injuries. So a good win for the Hornets who could quite easily of lost heart losing two riders, it goes to show great character in the team that they went on to win so well.

Agreed, the ref had been pulling the riders back everytime they tried to anticipate the start and even disqualified James White Williams for him doing it twice in one heat (sure he didn't touch the tapes second time). So for the ref to allow a really obvious jump of the tapes by Kyle Hughes was very surprising.

Well done the Hornets, good meeting tonight with some good racing too. Probably the hardest meeting the Hornets have ridden, however they suffered quite a few mechanical gremlins. In the end Mark Jones and Tony Atkin were much too good for the Cobras.

Sorry nothing to do with me I just had a phone call to say that they have another two riders added to the line up. Kennett and Wilson.

Ben Wilson and Edward Kennett are added to the line up.

Can't see anything in todays programme.
