I was out in Whitehaven with a few m8's last Friday and one of them said to me that I was the only person he knows who likes speedway. Non of the others watch speedway, in fact some were surprised to hear the sport was still on the go. 

Hasn’t been a blue line for a long, long time. Track has been good, but the heatwave is obviously going to make track prep difficult. Expect to see a saturated track at arrival with plenty of watering during the meeting. Looking forward to tonight. Should be very entertaining.

And spuds in the autumn. 

what do we reckon then, dust by heat six and a blue line around heat 11.

Doubling up has caused a huge amount of damage... It started off controlled with two UK riders max per team.. Then, before we knew it, almost every member of each team had a minimum of two clubs.. Sam Masters a few years ago actually spent a couple of months being No1 in the averages of both leagues!!!  Imagine trying to markef fhat? When riders rode for one team, and got injured, by the time their next meeting came around they often had enough time to get well, or, if not a guest was used if the rider was of a certain level.. Now, many riders of any level getting injured on a Monday could miss Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday matches in Div 2... Meaning guest after guest, after guest to replace them.. Complete nonsense...

Thank you for letting me know. I missed the posting. A good age though! RIP John
