Embarrassing really for Sheffield last night, Chris Holder and Pickering looked pale shadows of the riders they have been last few years. Killeen after a full season can’t ride the Sheffield track and Leon Flint still can’t get his bike setup right for 4 races. BV deserved champions never really had to break much of a sweat last night against poor opposition 

Hopefully it might encourage the Bates to carry on fingers crossed or encourage a prospective new promoter to come in.

Smart and Lobb lived in Newport at the time of their failed drug tests although neither were riding for Newport at the time. Smart was riding at Swindon and Lobb Exeter. There were stories for weeks before they got caught that they were up to no good but it was was widely known who had grassed them up. A few hard moves by Smart on said rider during his comeback season weren't just random either lol. They should all be tested before each meeting. Like i said a while ago, I worked as a chippy in the mining industry in Aus for a few years and drug tests costed next to nothing. The story that they are too costly is a load of nonsense.

2/3 rds of the stadium are not even accessible, 

Yes I was and Danny bird, I’m sure they weren’t random but they have to be seen to be random but I guess it’s not hard to get someone selected for a test just by selecting another random 3, there were a few who I thought would get caught a some point but strangely I never saw Richie worral being one as much as I thought he was a bellend 

Sheffield's track used to be superb. Seeing Wilson and Compton in full flight around there was something else. What on earth has happened to it?
