Hopeless commentator. Not one rider fired himself to the front or rode high and wide early doors, no doubt about that. I bet he can even do the maths properly.

Oh well, a chance to catch up on the Test match. Actually much more exciting than the Grand Prix with Crawley and Duckett in full flow.

He was trying to fire himself to the front.

Just wondering why Kelvin never mentioned that Bewley was the fastest in practice today…

Agree with much of what has been said. I couldn't see whether there was contact or not either in heat 14 but I do think the wrong rider was excluded. Having said that, however, it should never have got to the point that the result of that race was so crucial. It's hard to believe that this Ipswich team is the one that started the season so well and touted as almost unbeatable. Jason, Emil and, to a lesser extent, Danny, carried the team tonight. As for the rest... And what was all that nonsense before heat 13 about? How is it that a team manager and a referee don't know the rules regarding the no. 7? Unbelievable!

Also it was on telly, so probably fewer than a normal meeting.

AI needs to be fed the correct information. It is still very early days. When you see a mistake like the Belle Vue one, you need to correct it, then, in future, it will get it right. I have used AI a number of times in my historical research (not speedway). It is getting much better than it was. In some ways it's like Wikipedia. It's only as good as the information it is fed. It will continue to improve. It will be an amazing research tool in a few years.

Of course it didn't make any real difference to those of us here, but, it would be important to people new to speedway, the people we are trying to attract. It didn't happen, of course, but if Oxford had got a 5-1 in the final heat it might have left newcomers feeling very confused as to what was happening. That's the real problem with the gaffs Kelvin makes.

Not according to Kelvin. Ipswich only needed one point!

All four excluded.

Kelvin's maths strikes again!

Thompson and Ellis?

What a strange response to a post that actually says, "You are correct that Brandon will need a lot of money to make it usable, but money won't be an issue with the individuals they have got on board."

Very sad news. He was very helpful and friendly when I was looking for photos for my books.

Also, that no-one on here has ever criticised a decision made by a male ref.
