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.

Not sure on that one Brum if i'm honest.. I've been training with drinking this Gin drink I have. All it consists of is lifting the glass more. Easier than driving a coach ..

Sometimes it's best to say nothing,,,

So, unless I have misinterpreted the general trend of opinion on this thread, David Wallinger is not in a ludicrous situation?

With the Diamonds going NL only.

We need to win this to keep the momentum going i am pretty confident we can get this needed away win.

Ive heard its Simon Lambert,

think you have it spot on there Sidney. the national league is a good product with a mix of more experienced riders passing on their knowledge and help to the youngsters. then the cream will rise to the top and the more talented riders will move up and so the circle starts again. others who for whatever reason don,t move up are there ready for the next batch. when I left school I started work as an apprentice and learned my skills off the senior men and that is the way it happens in all walks of life. so I say hurrah for the middle of the road riders who want to go out and enjoy their racing while passing on tips to the young starters. I do not think having a team of seven youngsters would not be a good product to sell to the public. for me I always look forward to the likes of danny ayres coming to lock horns with our boys each to their own but for me the national league is doing just fine.

Kerr is certainly capable of scoring big points from reserve but for some reason has struggled to convert his Eastbourne form into performances for Lynn. Tonight would be a great time to start.

Awful line up, they will do well to get past 25. Not a meeting for the neutrals.

Without the likes of those riders named the league would be a sham, those older riders also give help and there guidance to the younger riders.As i see it no younger riders are missing out at the moment it is a great time for the UK for developing talent the future looks bright.The NL as I see it have a great balance and the league is a good product in its own right also do you think Danny Ayres is to old.?

The advantage is that he can take 7 rides

Must admit I'm struggling to find the enthusiasm.wells as a guest is taking the p155 out of the panthers fans .

4.9 premier league. Plenty of scope to get the right rider in. Imagine Rasser being at reserve for a month. Would be carnage.

I saw an excellent meeting on the island on tuesday Sid. Cook's comments are an insult to all of those riders that put on a show to entertain us.
