Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 10, 2022 Baking here at the stadium. Still 27 c. Track being deluged with water. Track shining. Big crowd again. Next week special promotion. £10 adults kids under 16 free. First 400 kids get whistles. Face painting. And riders signing autographs from 6pm till 6.30. Gates open early. Should be noisy and packed out for visit of Redcar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they are giving kids whistles next week, does that mean the adults get some cotton wool for our poor ears! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 10, 2022 So very easy for Pirates. Non contest and pretty boring to be honest as Plymouth offered nothing. Not even a heat winner. Their season ends in a whimper due to injuries and a heat leader not likely to come back anytime soon in Barker. Certainly not for the foreseeable future. Good to see Drew riding very well. Poor gating in heat one left him stranded but after that he was excellent. Whole team battled against a Plymouth lineup that should have done better. Good crowd again, and next week the gates open at 6pm, with whistles being handed out to the first 200 kids. God help us. Plus face painting and riders from both teams available for autographs till 6.30. £10 adults, £6 confessions and under 16’s free. Going to be packed out.

Pack the place out and show them speedway is still needed! The Council will probably be doing a Health & Safety check so you all better behave! Depending on who you believe the 200 or 400 whistles will make enough noise for them to have grounds for closing the stadium! Edited August 11, 2022 by Happy Hunter Additional comment.

poole keith 911 Posted August 11, 2022 if council bods are going to be present understand completely the logic of getting as many families as possible in the stadium,but really, giving hundreds of kids whistles ,bad thinking shocking idea.if theyre keen on families why didnt they have accompanied under16s free allsummer holidays?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
