They just made that mistake, I’ve just come to the conclusion after over 10 years of British speedway following that it’s the most inconsistent motor sport I have followed, not many consistent performers in both leagues , great to have a high scoring number 1 but comes at a price, a 6 or 7 av number 5 or 3 will always be up and down,meeting was lost after first round , no momentum for bears and no pressure on monarchs and they had their best match of the season  on a track that has minimum passing opportunities, run that meeting again tonite would be a different outcome, that my friend is uk speedway and why we follow it

Such is the state of British speedway, few people are likely to question the morality of Garrity returning to the sport. If he can convince a promotion to give him a team place, a lot of pensioners will be grateful for the distraction.

I'll start with my period of following Sheffield. 1977-1979 Sheffield Speedway was Promoted on behalf of County Speedways (Owlerton Sports Stadium) by John Dews. Then the Promotion rights were put up for sale. 1980-1984 (March) Ray Glover. 1984-1989 (February) Maurice Ducker. 1991-1992 (June) Cliff Carr. 1992 (July)-2013 Neil Machin along with Tim Lucking (1996) Malcolm Wright 1996-2007 Louis Carr was involved up to the end of 2001. David Hoggett 2008-2013 2014-2025  Damien Bates and Peter Mole. 2026  Damien Bates and Louise Mole.

I'll start it off. Jack Hill-Bailey, High Beech, 19 February 1928.  Not many more to go now.

Put it this way, Stal are hopeful for Jack to be back in the starting line up vs Falubaz. Whether he comes straight back to the UK riding or maybe he will give it a week or two we don’t know.

Indeed. I was planning on buying a hot dog when I went in. Turned out to be a really hot dog. Anyway, really enjoyed the meeting. In response to the 'no passing' claim, it's factually incorrect on this occasion. There have been a couple of drab affairs this season (Oxford was beyond dreadful) but tonight was decent. Excellent, solid scoring throughout for the home side. DanT was outstanding and (I think) young Loftus won 3 consecutive races in Monarchs colours for the first time? Happy to be proved wrong on that one. Having highlighted Justin Sedgmen's apparent shortcomings off gate 4 recently, it's only fair I tip my hat to his efforts in heat 3. Well done Sedgy. Also good to see Michele Castagna back on form and SuperGrahn mixing it throughout. It was a night when not a lot went wrong for Monarchs. We also enjoyed the seemingly now customary 5-1 from the Thom(p)son non-twins in heat 13. For the Bears, not too many positives. They did try. Nicolai Klindt even made a pass! Vinnie Foord was good value. And I do like Jody Scott. Such a cool wee style. He looked like he was struggling off the starts all night though and I also think he may have got a tad lucky to be allowed in the rerun of heat 14? Oh well. Roll on next time...
