That's correct : £1 + £1 + £1 + £1 + £1 + £1 = £6

Keep the faith Bandits fans, we overturned a 28 point deficit last season over a very strong Edinburgh team, get behind your boys from the start and cheer them on , miracles do happen to the underdogs we proved that last year

Bunch of whinging fans ....3rd in the league and getting good racing ..... what do you want??

That maybe the case but it’s not all Danny’s fault, Bjerre and Jorgensen have massively under achieved this season. 5 points off Jorgensen last night is pathetic for a heat leader.

Barry.......give him your own nickname

Was Idiosyncratic not a Russian who rode in the Polish leagues a few year back? Regards THJ

The Pairs is already down to be held at Stoke, and now they have the Fours too. So instead of neutral venues, Stoke now have the advantage in both. The change will have appeased Cradley who can now have their full top four with Max Clegg now available. But the new Stoke date clashes with the Berwick v Leicester Championship match which means that Belle Vue and Leicester now both lose their No.1 rider with Leon Flint and Ellis Perks now unavailable. That's two of the stronger teams and two of the league's drawcard riders now out of the running. Basically they've took a problem of Clegg and Phillips being missing and swapped it for a bigger problem of having Perks & Flint missing, a non-neutral track, a poorer venue, and the loss of a Sunday raceday. Only way to make it a bigger farce would be to change the rules and let Belle Vue and Leicester have a guest for Flint & Perks.

Well that was hugely entertaining! Big, big congratulations to the people who prepared such a wonderful track with all the rain we've had here recently. Marvelous result from Wright, and some great action from Paco, Nicol (the kid is positively mad, can we have more of him if opportunity arises?), and Shanes. Coles and Aarnio also showed great commitment. After Heat 1 I was worried that Worrall would remain unbeaten all night... But then Paco happened! The guests have still definitely offered some good racing. This was a great advertisement for Brummie speedway. Well done everyone!

No idea, but just send out the two riders that you want and make sure at tapes that the ref spots the change, then it's up to him to to find out why he wasn't informed.

Added to that, I'd seen 15 heats, stood in the emptied stand for the victory parade, walked to the car and driven home 10 miles to the other side of Peterborough and was out walking the dog at 9.30pm. You can certainly compare that to Monday

You kind of get the feeling that by the time we get our preferred 1-7 in place it’ll be too late in the season to achieve anything. Proctor and Slambert have to be gone for the next meeting.

Great effort to not only secure the win but send the Stars home pointless. That took some spirit and battling qualities

What on earth was the Lynn manager doing not giving Kerr 7 rides and then I can’t believe the worst gates were chosen in heat 15!! Lawson again showing he is capable especially at home of getting double figure scores every meeting Kennett will hopefully get better I will take 7 from Harris most home meetings KP did ok but needs to finish all races Danny not at his best Howarth was poor only beat Lambert and MPT Cam started slow but came good We massively miss Jake but we still picking up wins and points

Proctor needs to go cost us big time tonight and not the first time this season.

What idiot picked Wells as a guest

In fairness Perks scored 5, would say he did his job. Starke isn’t the rider we should look to keep.

And who for Lambert? Personally i would go for Riss back for Proctor and Douglas for Lambert.That fit after Mondays match,but i suppose it can all depend on how the averages change after tonight which is our last one before the cut off date.

Having a laugh i know, i truly want Poole to sort there track out a great track in the past i just want it to be restored to the track it once was.

Now say that with a straight face!

thongs and trousers that unzip......this thread may need re-naming again.

Yep fixed race nights not helping and junk fixture list. Teams need to be at home once a fortnight minimum, spend May with warm up matches/challenges, get the actual league fixtures run through June/Jul & early August. Then its play off time, KO cups August & September then season over an no freezing boots off at meaningless end of season meetings.

and what would the pay structure be? How many meetings a week would take place? I personally think 1 league would be a disaster but equally if clubs keep folding there may only be enough teams left for one league.

Yes but how does that help with the summer question of whether to go flip flops or venture into the murky world of sliders?

Rebels lost this because they choose their normal high gearing to start the meeting. With the track much grippier than normal the Lions were out the traps & gone! Rory is a very experienced rider & should have been on the case however Bomber is class in such conditions.

I think it just sums up British speedway!!! Words fail me

Well done British Speedway, having not seen a meeting all season due to all the London tracks, Arena Essex and Rye House all no longer having racing I had finally decided to go to Kings Lynn for the NL Fours. Advance train ticket and hotel booked only for the date and track to be changed! This is not the first time this has happened to me but it is the last given that the reason for moving the meeting is riders not being available but on the new date other teams will have riders who are not available. I wonder if it depends on which team is missing riders as to how important it is considered? EDIT:- BSPA website has information on a contact if you are in my situation which is very fair. I am glad to say that I had already persuaded the hotel to refund and by a piece of very good luck a friend is spending the weekend with family in Kings Lynn that weekend and was moaning about the cost of rail tickets. My advance ticket was a lot cheaper than he had found so he has now got my ticket and we are both happy. Well done the organisers for thinking about the effects of the change they have made.

Thank goodness we have this wonderful fred - sorry, thread We should be very grateful for whoever created it It helps me in particular to get through the day

Got to go with 1 league now if we want speedway to continue in Britain

At the moment I'd say none, apart from one league maybe, without regular meetings I'd think people get out of the habit of going, lose interest and find other things to do. Second half of June and Redcar have had no league matches, not good is it.

Yes, both fit. And Douglas would put Rasmus at reserve. Douglas would be a good signing.

That tonight for me was one of the most enjoyable meetings ive seen at Perry Barr in some time, absolutely fair to both teams for entertainment that was served up. Its easy for people to just not bother coming when they see half a Brummies side but really you missed a really good match and full commitment from our guest riders. The track was superb after all the rain we have had, in the past 9 days or so, so credit to the track staff, very quick race times proved that. Charles Wright showed why hes one of the best riders in the league and credit to him for his efforts, scored what Ellis would have. Connor Coles battled and did a solid job, 2 pts when hes a 2pt rider is job done. The performance from Broc Nichol was something else!, absolutely fully committed to an extent wheres hes bouncing off the fence in one race. A joy to watch and he for me he is the type of rider you pay £16.50 every week to watch. Shame he isnt a Brummies rider.. Considering Shanes had a big crash at the weekend as well, he more than did a good job. Its just a pity he cant gate well otherwise he would be a top rider at this level, he has the effort and speed. I don't think Castagna will be push over in the main body, not at home anyway. Its amazing we have Ashley Morris now at reserve (when fit) when you consider he beat Danny King and Kyle Howarth last match and his scores in recent meetings for us, strength in depth! Newcastle are not a bad side, a few of their riders such as Bjerre and Jorgensen didnt have a great night overall but Worrall and Weathers did. Clegg came alive after 2 poor rides but the Diamonds struggled at reserve. Safe journey to the fans that made the trip. Hope Rerun Productions/SpeedwayGB upload a few clips from this meeting preferably Heat 6 and/or Heat 12.

To begin with, you need three stained posts Then, some official thread Mix together, and leave to cool for 4.234 days

A strong reserve gains you so much more. Don’t get me wrong I think Rasser can do a job in the top 5 but let’s say we keep Starke, Bellego struggles...only Starke & Perks can take one of his rides. Have Rasser there & I think we have the extra power needed. I would prefer we use the extra point for a better reserve than Starke. How many meetings this season have we had an advantage in heat 1 only to have that go against us in heat 2....

3 guests & RR , what a. Joke. Explain that to anybody not Speedway

Update and hopefully positive news via Facebook Just an update on Sam we are pleased to say he has opened his eyes this afternoon on and off although he can't focus or track anyone when they talk to him. We can only hope this can improve .

Ove Fundin in to replace Kildemand ( too wimpish ) and Michael Lee allowed to come in at reserve ( reduced average due to injuries ). Passed on to me by ZR.

Whoops

Yes, Earle Street, Crewe, was round a cricket pitch! Sadly, it's just a retail park now.

Would be funny if everyone knows him as Barry from now on,,,, he will always be Barry to the massif

When you put it like that, it would suggest that Danny isn't underperforming as much as others

Fancy word for peculiar

thats a bit like Simon lambert and ully oystergard @ Peterborough . it happened year after year , so dont go knocking Newcastle or Phillips . it is what it is . some teams stay loyal and to be honest danny is prob the one on the cheapest rate going and helping keep Newcastle afloat in these tough times . prob if dannys dad had not bought into the club , it would not have started the 2019 season . so who owns Peterborough now the ? in ged you trusted !

Swindon to win 50-40

This could now cause a fairly hefty financial loss for the sport. These showpiece events need to be on a Sunday afternoon when more people can travel to them, as so many people work all day on a Saturday. I know a lot do on a Sunday too, but I doubt that there are such vast numbers working on that day. Gutted at having to miss it.

Swindon could easily have signed Starke to replace Zach. The fact we haven’t suggests that we have our eyes set on someone else.

Parsimony wins again..

Personally I am a Stock Car and Hot Rod fan who nowadays regards Bangers as a chance to get a burger or go to the toilet! There is no excuse to not tidy up after yourself in any walk of life.

No messing mahooooosive win for the Witches,,,, another Harris max and off to buy some ingredients for a humble pie

Great initiative from a Club who lost its "heart and soul in Bob Dugard" to Cancer last year; and I understand from recent film that Tom Brennan's mom is bravely fighting it as well. If more people do turn up and Club and charity both make a few quid, then that's a win/win surely?

"Ben also needs to realise that he has the potential to be a professional speedway rider and that's a very different animal to being a star in a League where half your opponents struggle to stay on, get their bikes to do four laps and in some cases can barely skid a bike. I've seen him have some terrific rides at this and Elite level so the talent is there. I don't think the NL comfort zone is doing him any good" The above is a quote by Eastbourne's Jon Cook. Delightful to see what he really thinks of the National League, a league that Eastbourne have just moved out of and that featured a lakeside team not so long ago. Nobody claims that NL riders are the finished article but i personally find the above comments incredibly rude towards everyone who competes in and follows the NL. Here's my quote back "You can stick your opinions and any club you have anything to do with now or in the future where it doesn't shine as you won't be getting one penny from me."
