Disgraceful remarks. The lad was trying, has fallen and hurt himself. How about hoping he is ok rather than slagging him off?

Also, "Dan Bewley gingerly walking back to the pits". Now that is really out of order, needs reporting.

How do you keep getting away with abusing people??

Is it a deliberate ploy to kill off this sport in the UK? Truly appalling advert for the sport going out to a wider TV audience... The place looking virtually empty.. The racing absolutely awful... Who cares who wins titles in such a dreadfully organised and presented sport? Cannot carry on like this surely?

Buster going on how good his track is due to track records, grippy inside just makes crap racing and riders lifting slamming into fence!

The answer to that is nobody. Apart from maybe Starman who thinks others are jealous of Poole winning this highly prestigious competition. The worst meeting I've ever seen at Peterborough. British Speedway is dead from the neck down and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

I can see where you're coming from, and I would have happily got behind the team Ged put together. However, after Buster cannibalised it to prop up his other clubs, I lost interest. It is clear that he has no ambition for the club other than to make up the numbers, and if he doesn't care, why should I?

It's not risky for normal people to start threads,,, only the strange ones.

5. Kenneth Bjerre - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 = 15 You were saying Chapman, you incompetent clown...

Has the track been like this all season? If so Buster has ruined it I’m afraid. The only decent TV meetings from the UK this year have been from Belle Vue, everywhere else has been rubbish so far unfortunately.

Buster not realised hes supposed to be preparing a track for speedway not Banger Racing

Kelvin just said The Danish Champion Kenneth Bjerre is in a class of his own - but Buster told KB he was not heat leader standard

Give it a rest Starry. Stop name calling.

Gary is right. Buster is just a nob and the sooner he f£££s off the better

Another great two points on the road. Whatever else happens over the rest of the season my expectations have been well and truly exceeded. A good bunch of honest riders who really seem to have gelled as a team.

He’s there, between Lord Lucan and Shergar

This truly is rubbish isn't it?

Simple the ref declared it as an un satisfactory start and was stopping the race anyway for a re-run with no exclusions.

Track is a disgrace, just like Kings Lynn last monday it is far too grippy and dangerous. Riders struggling and getting injured through no fault of their own. Track records are great but doesn’t mean the track is good for close racing. Just means the riders arms are being pulled off. Give me a slick, safe track with close racing any day.

When will he realise that grippy tracks are a thing of the past. Cheap clay based material no good for entertaining racing.

Should never, ever have been done away with. It certainly was worth it. Couldn’t understand it being binned.

It needs to be one big league. It should have happened this year but it didn`t ! British speedway needs to be run on days that are best for each particular track and not to suit Poland. We need to get back to the British League era. Its a fallacy that we need the big names we don`t ! we need good racing. The big names are riding in Sweden and I`ve watched a few on telly and the racing is no better than we have here...Let the so called big names ride in Poland if they want to but I think you will find a lot of them will eventually come back home with their tail between their legs when they`re dropped in a squad system...

If Doyle can ride on Thursday then why should Ipswich have a guest?

Should be two UK under 21 riders at reserve in the top tier from next season onwards . The draft system before was a great little system.

No, in truth, eight points is not a fair reflection, on Jordan Stewarts potential score. He has been well in double figures in all his recent home meetings, regularly outscoring Charles and MPT. The other rider, (non national league standard allegedly) , had never ridden Redcar before. In contradiction, to the Scunthorpe team managers, version of events in the BSPA site, (where Scunthorpe won with all the odds against them). The Scunthorpe team, had infinitely more experience of the Redcar track, than some of the home team. It is the fairest track in the league and some of the Scunthorpe riders, perform as well there, if not better than at Scunthorpe. I congratulate Scunthorpe on their victory, but lets not make it out to be an overwhelming performance.

Really!! In what seemed no time after the takeover we saw a perfectly adequate management team dismantled . Rosco moved out and Colin Pratt pushed sideways. Then we had Colin's service dispensed with as team manager to be replaced by a series of " ragamuffin type characters" called team managers in his place , none of whom appeared to have a clue what Coventry Speedway represented. During all of this time we were getting messages from Mr Horton about making up our minds whether we wanted top class speedway at Brandon, and his guarded threats about running at a lower level. While all of this was going on he was attending BSPA meetings complaining he couldn't afford to run. I wouldn't call that well a run club , and I won't even get involved with your comment about still being there had the stadium been available.

For what its worth I enjoyed Saturday`s meeting as IMO I got value for money and that's all I ask for, I look forward to more of the same this week hopefully. Decent racing and a surprise home win.

And continued to be, and still would be if we had a stadium to race in You couldn’t be further from the truth on my part

Deja vu at its height. What you and your pal inherited at Coventry was a top class club, which had been very well run for many many years, and look how that finished up. Also, on reflection, you and Mr Horton didn't make Colin Pratt feel too welcome after you moved in to Brandon either.

Would like to say a big well done to Diamonds. Won fair and square over 2 legs. After Friday thought we were a few points short and so it was. Josh a fantastic shift from you tonight. Mamma Mia, SOS what has happened to the Swedes, not Napoleon that surrendered they did. Sad to see Ricky struggling, hope he can turn it around. best wishes to George n the Diamonds for the final.Would like to see them or Redcar win it.

That would be a rash choice IMO

If this was our track at Poole, would be up to 50 pages by now

Definitely the 4th Grade Grammar rule " Which rules have I broken?". That's three rules really.

That was so disappointing. I had some hope earlier on that tonight would be an exciting meeting with some great battles. What we got was an extremely dull meeting with no thrills or excitement or close racing. Just riders carted off to hospital on a badly prepared track with virtually no passing. Poor poor poor.

More humble pie again Baldyman? And I mean it in the nicest way and also mr harris did his job again tonight dont you think?

Maybe Natalie can interview Jeremy Corbin Fan next , if she can find him

I used to love watching racing from the EOS, the likes of Ryan Sullivan, N Pedersen et al used to generate such speed, it was exhilarating to watch even on tv, on that basis and hearing of track records being broken I was looking forward to tonight's meeting, such a disappointment so far, maybe it will pick up.

The track isn't dangerous.....the bikes are ???

I'd dispute that. IMHO The track is fine , the engines are now too unpredictable for any but the most able riders. Hope the fallen riders have full and speedy recoveries.

I agree but many can no longer cope with mushroom managemenmt

Peterborough need to get behind their team before its too late.. When its gone its gone and we don`t want to lose a great track like Peterborough one of the best in the country !!

At least the 2nd tier has it right now by having to use 2 pointers at reserve and I agree the correct pathway should be Development >NL>2nd tier>top tier. But once an rider has had 2nd tier experience it’s time to blood them higher up. This is natural progress and this is how Poland have dominated for years now. The likes of Drabik, Smektala, Kubera etc didn’t just become good riders it was because of the training and tier structure. Ditto Zmarzlik, Piotr Pawlicki etc before them. The sooner the BSPA take a radical step and introduce a tiered structure the better but I doubt it will happen as the plan seems to be plan it, bin it, try something , bin that too.

No Jack Smith had already spat it out......

Only sometimes .

I can’t comment on what happened at Coventry between Mick taking over and my appointment. What I can say is that I always treated Colin with the respect due to former Club Promoters and BSPA colleagues, as I did with everyone I dealt with in Speedwsy. Sadly that same respect isn’t being afforded to me as 3-time former Promoter at Peterborough.

What a fabulous evening's entertainment. All the ingredients were there with sunshine, large crowd, decent looking track and semi final second leg to play for. And then there was Josh Pickering!! I have not enjoyed a sporting event as much as this for years. The Diamonds were definitely up for it and set about the Monarchs from the very first heat with an excellent win from Steve. Even Danny nearly came to the party with 1 point and an unlucky retirement through puncture. Every rider for the Diamonds played their part and contributed to a fine victory. Marvellous to see Matty in such tremendous form and Ulrich had a very satisfying debut and looks like he could be a first class signing. Edinburgh certainly played their part by bringing a large contingent of supporters and a team looking to consolidate their first leg victory. Unfortunately for them Palovaara looked decidedly off the pace and Joel Andersson was a disappointment. Ricky Wells seemed a shadow of the rider who is used to excelling against us and it was left to Josh Pickering, Cameron Heeps and to a lesser extent Willie Lawson to provide the main opposition. Josh was absolutely superb!!!!! I think also a big thanks to Paul Starke who's 7 point tally was everything we wanted from TJ's replacement. Never spectacular but his 3 second places one of which was ahead of Josh were excellent If there were more meetings like this, the sport might start to recover!. It would be great if the media company which covers our home meetings released some footage to Youtube to show how entertaining this sport can be at Championship level.

Definitely hard on Clouting, shown glimpses of what he can do, last season he would have easily picked up another place but with the bases limit dropped from 3.00 to 2.00 it looks tougher? Progress huh. One final piece of fortune for Kent is that Ledwith's average has changed prior to his injury lay off so better options to cover for him.

All very cloak and dagger. Very rarely hear from our promoter Mr Pratt

I don't think there is a "properly patched up" speedway track. Might last till the end of the season

No!, run it as agreed at the start of the season. This Sunday at Kings Lynn. Good luck to all the youngsters..
