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.9 points

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).....7 points

In a world of four riders doing four laps we get bogged down in averages, rising stars , doubling up, down, guests , r/r etc.3 points

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”3 points

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 .3 points

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 me2 points

At the track now and it's bloody cold. Very windy.2 points

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!2 points

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..2 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

Why? He's like a lot of them. Couldn't care less about British speedway. So why line his pockets2 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

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.1 point

Probably being paid by the hour to do the job. Get some Japanese builders on it. It'll be done next week.1 point

Especially as he says in the Adver article that nobody from the Speedway club has had any contact from Gaming International re time scales etc. Rosco's problem is that he needs 'guarantees' by the end of November in order to start signing riders. Those guarantees must also include hospitality options for sponsors, fans etc. Otherwise it'll delay racing til 2023.1 point

So if his average is too high once converted,, and he isn't replacing a rising star,,, then surely he can't guest. Oh hang on,,, this is speedway,,, anything can happen1 point

Fingers crossed for all the Robin's faithful, it will be great to get the racing back.But as Orion said until the tapes go up for the first time i would not take anything for granted how can you take anything on trust.1 point

I hope it's not another "five year plan".... If all the "five year plans" that this sport has had in the UK had ever been implemented.... The sport would be celebrating its bicentenary....1 point

Kubera must be in with a good shout, looked good earlier in the GP's. It would mean a 4th pole but surely we want to see the best riders in the world in the GP.1 point

So 8,000 fans in a stadium open to the elements over two nights is more appealing than 40,000 on one night? I don't think so.1 point

A 2 day GP at the NSS would easily sell out and the atmosphere would be Bonkers. 2 day events could be the future, can't see that working at Cardiff as I believe the attendance would drop dramatically.1 point
