I will tell you something else that wasn’t funny for Panthers fans. Morris falling entirely on his own in heat 3 and being allowed back in the rerun Douglas giving Palm Toft a nudge in the rerun and causing him to fall and getting injured and no exclusion for Douglas.

His average should be 2.56 I believe.... Based on multiplying his Div One average by his Div Two average, and then adding in his non existent RS average.... You then divide this total by the hypotenuse of a Dairylea Triangle (Reduced Fat).... Or, if the equation is worked out on a day that isnt a fixed race day for his Div One team, then a supermarket own label cheese triangle can be used.... Or a piece from a 600g bar of Toblerone if one is to hand. .. (Not a white Toblerone though, only a dark chocolate one).....

Agree that should have awarded 5/1 to Wolves.Hans cheated.Makes the sport look what it is “ Mickey Mouse”.

ZzzzzZzzzz

In a world of four riders doing four laps we get bogged down in averages, rising stars , doubling up, down, guests , r/r etc.

That could be British speedway’s new tag line. We’ve had “Fuelled by excitement.” “Its better than nothing” Now, British Speedway - “Who cares about fair play”

I do like forum logic . Hope your instincts prove to be correct.

Why dont you wait to swindon are racing at the new track before you get your i told you so comments in ...... From what the builders have been saying i am not sure its going to be as straight forward as some people are thinking .... Yet again people getting carried away are putting far to much trust in Gaming int . I have a feeling this has a long way to run yet .

I think it’s Edinburgh’s fault the weather is crap this time of year as well.

I think Dan has literally been backfiring

Drew Kemp also rides probably replacing Mark Karion.

Apparently he can’t ride under appeal until the SCB court hearing. Whether there are kangaroos at that court remains to be seen It does seem bizarre that a rider can be told minutes before it is posted on the website that he has been banned without even having been spoken to, never mind being asked to put forward their side of events. I have absolutely no idea what it is all about btw but in general sports tend to at least give a right of representation. Unilaterally ‘sentencing’ a rider without their knowledge or input just doesn’t sit right with me

At the track now and it's bloody cold. Very windy.

And then some seem surprised when many don't take it seriously, and find other things to do...

There was clear times of people struggling throughout the season but they’ve got this far as a team… and all credit has to go to them for sticking with the same 7.. they’ve certainly repaid the faith shown to them! I so so hope things go our way and all behind the scenes are finally rewarded for what they’ve put into the club!

You put in £50 a month and we take out £20 lol(only joking)

Certainly good old fashioned 'homer ref' decisions

I wouldnt say its just to get one over the Aces in particular... It's just the usual 'make it up as you go along' nonsense... All the fans (that are still left), should be used to it by now..

Can’t make it on Tuesday but would be in favour of a Trust system like Edinburghs as long as it was run by the right people and was sustainable in the longer term, Count me in.

Hans done the right thing. Who cares about fair play? If it wasn't for him staying down then we would've been 43 - 41 down going into the last race and Schlein wouldn't have gambled to get the jump over Bomber off gate 4. Respect the Panthers legend for using his experience. Morris should've been excluded early in the night anyway so it levels it all out really.

Why? He's like a lot of them. Couldn't care less about British speedway. So why line his pockets

Stumper I would say you are spot on with regards to the PA, it has been crap for a number of years and cuts in/out all the time. Secondly the lighting is very poor around the stands/bends & also including on the track, from the home straight you can't see the helmet colours of the riders on the opposite side, the lights shine directly at you and not the track.

All day i was expecting tonights meeting to be called off. It was dry when i arrived but the rain soon set in. How the riders rode in such treacherous conditions and completed the match, i will never know. They were all heroes tonight.

Brilliant result to round off a very successful season for the Bullets, whether or not they go on to win the league. Leon Flint and Kyle Bickley doubled up with the Bandits and, in particular I think it would give Kyle confidence to score big points when he sometimes struggled for the Bandits. Luke Crang stepped in for Leon and his scores against Mildenhall (home) and Kent (tonight) might just win them the league. Greg Blair re-discovered his love for the sport, gave the crowd great entertainment and became a bit of a cult figure. Ben Rathbone, Mason Watson, Ryan MacDonald and Keiron Douglas all developed a lot more than they would just riding in the NJL. I've enjoyed watching the Bullets matches this season, both as double headers and on their own. Hopefully the promotion continue the team next season.

Has Tero got an HGV licence?

Just looking further ahead to 2022, I just wanting to throw a few ideas out there in regards to meeting presentation etc. Please don't take this as a complaint or a moan as I 100% appreciate what we have, however there a are a few things I think could be done to improve the presentation of meetings. As a speedway fan most of these things don't concern me too much, however to newcomers, they may be more important. I would like to see the following next season if possible: 1) Upgraded PA System: Often race results, rider introductions etc are difficult to hear in numerous spots around the track due to the crackly PA System. Volume is often too low as well which makes things difficult to hear. Would be nice to have the system upgraded and checked before use. The microphone Rob uses on the centre green regularly breaks up. 2) More lighting on bend 1 terraces: At the start/end of the season with the darker nights, it is difficult to see your programme when filling in race results. 3) Smoother transitions between music/talking: On occasions the music is left on whilst the presenter/Rob is talking which makes it difficult to hear and is a bit "amateurish" and often long gaps of silence can be heard before the music restarts at the completion of the talking. I think a "tidy up" is required to ensure the presentation remains as professional as possible, particularly to outsiders as I have brought newcomers along on occasions and they have picked up on this. 4) Maybe re-introduce an interval: To allow time for an interview perhaps during the meeting, to get the thoughts of a rider or team manager to see how they feel the meeting is going? Most meetings this year have been completed quickly (which I agree is a good thing to do) however might be nice to have more engagement during the meeting. Please feel free to agree/disagree, or add more comments. Like I said, just throwing a few ideas out there to how things can maybe done better.

I would still blame Edinburgh for no other reason than it’s Edinburgh.

Hope your Poole boys are good at Ice speedway ha

See page 179 of the 2020 Regulations ....... ;-)

My point is whole RS guest rules are an absolute joke. No harm to Edinburgh playing the system, it's the system that's wrong

Well we’ve replaced a 3 star with a 3 star.

The timing of the building work is perfect from Gaming int ...Means that Swindon wont know if the work will done in time meaning they have to say they can't run in 2022 . Another year then go's by and people lose even more interest before they find another reason next year .

Big heat 12 result for Smederna. If that had gone wrong would have been a nervy last 3 races.

Kier that old girl gave u an ear bashing at the conference today

He was fighting with Huckenbeck for first, and Huckenbeck took Pontus front wheel. Pontus took a tumble on the track and sat with his back against airfence for a while. Then stood up and walked back to pit on his own so probably a bit shaken up. Didn't look injured but obviously hard to see from a distance.

not really, no real tight so far except for first lap heat 4 and 5. Heats has been a bi drawn out. Heat 4 wss close but flagman made a calculation error and 5 laps were done.

Hampden Park 29th September 1972. R.I.P. Svein.

I remember him riding at Monmore Green a very neat rider with an excellent armchair style.

If it does get built I wouldn't be surprised if we end up a bit like Smallmead, with temporary buildings that never get replaced. The main thing is that we get the racing back. The fact that people are there has to be a good sign on that front.

Really what's the reason mate? This is why people stop going to speedway.

I think the bike got caught UNDER him...

Shame they threw out the “professional foul” rule which would have made his team partner start off 15 metres in the re-run

Vastervik v Dackarna is the 2nd leg TV match tonight.

Svein had ridden at Swindon on the 2nd of September RIP Svein.

I've seen brummie bear there every week but I'm not holding any hope on him.

Great to see Basso on the Gasso is back, hope he's not too sore. Also Rory, he was doing well last night until he decided to hit the tapes. Bring it on, Win with a Worrall

He couldn't be as big of a let down than probably 10 riders we used this year.

I used to live on the flightpath for Heathrow airport & back in the day we used to witness Concorde fly over twice each day. The local people that had been there years would look up & see the big dart shaped plane & say "Must be 11:00 there's Big Nose" whilst new people would complain about the noise. There was one woman that sent a complaint to the council about the noise that she encountered each day when Concorde flew over saying it was unbearable for the 2 or 3 minutes that she could hear the supersonic jet fly over. The councils reply was that she should close her windows for a few minutes each day to reduce the noise level in her house.

Julie was a lovely much appreciated Lady (with a capital L) who ran the speedway office when I first worked at Cleveland Park giving out rain-off tickets after people had come through the turnstiles in the mid 70's and she used to give me my 50p earnings in a small brown envelope at the end of the evening. She was there (with brother Jimmy who used to run the pit gate) through all the years I worked at Cleveland Park unfailingly until it closed. It was a great pleasure to find Julie back in charge of the office when the STMP/MPA reopened in 2006. She suffered no fools but was admired by all who knew her at Teesside/Middlesbrough/Redcar. I think she would be very pleased firstly that she was remembered so fondly and secondly that the meeting normally involves a junior aspect.

Cardiff has all you could want, city centre location with all the bars and restaurants, hotels if you want one, and a roof to guarantee no rain off I don't know anywhere else that has these facilities If a GP in Britain is on the schedule, then i would imagine it will go back to 1 GP per weekend and not two
