And you’re the one saying a couple of posts back “It really cannot be taken seriously as a sport”. your idea above would see a top heat leader “substituted” by a NDL learner which is hardly the way to ensure a competitive meeting is it?   

To be fair I’m not sure more than one mention for Dan was needed? It was a review of the meeting and he wasn’t in it. Howarth on the other hand, WAS involved in the meeting and him uncharacteristically scoring zero especially at reserve, is a deserved talking point.

This is the type of stuff that ALL clubs need to do far more of. You go on some clubs’ social media and official websites and they’re mostly incredibly poor. Some rarely get updated at all and it comes across as they really can’t be bothered. It’s such an easy and simple thing to do and this is the kind of thing Coleman was talking about in terms of lack of promoting. Keep the X posts flowing, Facebook, Official websites, ram in down people’s throats regularly and keep all the clubs in the forefront of their supporters minds. Its not a hard thing to do.

Good, or wouldn't be British Speedway if there weren't at least one rider missing 👏

Hi Robinh88, I had this post pointed out to me, I have watched this footage back as have no memory of saying Mitch was tired. Indeed, having watched the heat back I did not say Mitch was tired, even once. I said, he's had a busy afternoon up to now taking 6 of his 7 rides, this due to be the 7th. Which was factually the case, and was disappointingly lacking comedy.
