Weather permitting I will get a few more this weekend me old pal... but it is going well and thanks for asking... Over 100 metal posts concreted in around the outside ready for the actual fence (and the air fence) and the pits gate got hung as well... Back this weekend and I will get a couple of snaps (which may include the seating areas with a bit of luck) Regards THJ

Distance of opposition? Berwick were at Plymouth last night, hardly a mammoth journey!

Do the regulations cover off how many teams Bomber can ride for per night in the Pairs?

Sometimes it's great being negative, like me covid test!

So we came down for a few days break and planned to go watch the Speedway later. Called of early so I hope they have called it right or its another annoyed supporter who wont be coming back

I believe it is limited to just 6, but may increase next year if Swindon re join the Premiership.

Sedgmen 14 from 5 rides at Oxford tonight probably better than gating tart Ellis would have scored

Having earlier not been too impressed with Tatum as the lead commentator, think he has settled down and relaxed into and is doing a much better job. With Chris Louis they are turning into a decent partnership.

Looked gash in one of the televised Polish 3rd? division matches recently and wouldn't become an asset. Get well soon Rene. So unlucky with injuries.

That's a shame to hear about Rene,,, it might mean that Newcastle just have to muddle along until BWD regains his fitness?

2 stickers don't fill the window either.

He asked to leave Leicester from what I hear. Assume he may have done same with Ipswich

Absolutely baffling decision in heat 15 putting Shanes in ahead of howarth. Cost the brummies the match.

Despite being down to three riders, Holsted still win!

Dont think turnip on the centre green is going to be possible - he will probably take root!!! ps. Danny Ford explains the early decision in the Echo online. Plenty of days/dates available to reschedule

It's a lot more difficult for me. Anyway not that I have to explain myself to anyone! I go when it is possible for me to go.

Michael Fish has predicted the heavy rain tonight, so should be spot on

Are you for real? The decision was taken early as the evening forecast is for rain and with the possibility of thunderstorms. Now if the forecast turns out to be inaccurate then have your say.

Why Don't you grow up idiot.

Someone has already quoted that Rowe rode last night in Poland.So Ipswich must have dropped him for now.

The problem is cost. The way squad systems operate in Poland and Sweden particularly, is based on being paid for the meetings you ride, and a healthy signing on fee as a retainer for your services if you don't ride. The UK essentially doesn't pay signing on fees at all, and it's main attraction to riders is that you should ride every available meeting bar injury or dramatic loss of form. In Poland particularly, 2 bad rides and your replaced for the meeting and as many have found out, won't ride again that year. Squads just don't work without funding and we all know the UK doesn't have a pot to pish in

Anders rode in Poland last night and scored 8+2 from 5 rides. Hope that illness doesn't reappear when he's next in or around Suffolk.....

As I have already said no one is against the consortium putting their money where their mouths areThink we all know where the problem lies

Everyone is trying their best to make it happen... here's hoping for next season... Regards THJ

Is that Keegan re signing for the Iron, or replacing the injured Kinsley for the Scorpions?

And obviously you know what is happening in pits slumping over your computer, dope, proper fans are absolutely sick of your comments, totally negative and quite frankly unwelcome and if you want to make yourself known to me personally about your reference to my son in post on earlier page I will welcome your pathetic response

May be a flash I think pan Wait for the first tumble or engine blow up and see if he still produces.......

Or £1.50 per person

Yeah, well you always do better in moist conditions.

Maybe the offer for the land was too good an opportunity to turn down regardless of the loss of income through covid etc..Big shame as Somerset was a great track and produced some very good racing.

Raining hard in Wimborne now

Those line ups will make a more exciting meeting than most championship ones I imagine. Anyone who hasn't tried it needs to give it a go. Unfortunately I live near the south coast and too far, but brings back memories of some great competitive meetings when Eastbourne were in the NL.

Just one person with one camera but I’d actually prefer to watch the whole meeting with this set up than any of the camera angles we got on Monday! You can actually see Howarth and Riss passing and re-passing here far more clearly.

I doubt it. if he was then Newcastle wouldn't be able to use a guest for him, just an unattached three point junior. If he left of his own accord, then he would be deemed to be "withholding his services" then we'd be able to use a guest for 28 days from the day he officially advised the club he was leaving (which is not necessarily the date of his last appearance). Since it would appear that we seem destined to use guests for the forseable future it would suggest that he is still listed in Newcastle's official 1 - 7.

Considering they were at Plymouth last night ,why would they want to call off.Given predicted forecast can see why decision was taken.Time will tell if it was the right one.

Stop talking to yourself then

Yeah, the other problems are a possible thunderstorm but at least heavy rain hitting between 7-9pm!! Not all Poole riders are nearby, Steve Worrall has a long way to travel just to sit and wait for the heavy rain to hit

or Rowe has dropped Ipswich

....and some folk don't recognise a touch of humour

On me way south via London to the Pirate Ship Hope the wet stuff holds off

Fair play to Sedgeman who may have finally realised he's in last chance saloon in UK and needs to apply the talent he's always had. It was a greasy track that suited gaters and he made a start every race. We shouldn't heap pressure on him to do that every week, if he scores 7 or 8 points its job done. First visit to Oxford since the late 80's. Good Crowd, appreciative home support too who don't just seem to be there to see the Team win with some good banter. Restored my faith a little and I may have found a second home of sorts as although a longer trip, with likely traffic chaos around PB worsening if I get a clear run down m42 and 40 its not that much worse than sitting on m6 Car park every Wednesday. The new track shape at Cowley is excellent and like the way they've moved the Pits and made it visible and not hidden away.

I suspect that Peterborough could be stopped from using him as the integrity of the sport must be upheld!

Track length - 300 mts Straight width - 11 mts (approx) Bend width - 14 mts (approx) Hope that helps

Only humble pie if the management made the change to strengthen the team... which they may well be claiming tomorrow morning

First bend bunching not a lack of a first bend by all accounts

To beat Jack Thomas and Cam Heeps... most people i would have thought

Problem is the current promotion/management are not doing much to save Birmingham going forward. For one, rewarding away supporters before rewarding home supporters. That is a massive no no! For those 5 home championship meetings in June they should run a promotion, e.g have a package where u buy tickets for all 5 & av £25 discounted off or buy all 5 & av a reduction on the summer trophy meetings. It's promotional madness to be doing what they are doing, maybe they're doing it because it looks like they're trying to be welcoming to away fans but in reality they know with the offer to away fans there is little risk to their pockets! Oh, I've got about 5 or 6 Cradley & Coventry programme boards. Maybe I should stand outside the stadium & be a programme board tout! Birmingham av got me Pirates next Wednesday but on a different issue the Travelodge there as gone up from £60 -£90 since I booked for the original staging. £90 to stay in Perry Barr are u kidding!! They should be avin a word with Travelodge to sort out sum kind of deal for speedway fans to stay, that would make more sense! So I shall not be going which is a shame, plus the away fan offer isn't on, bugga! I now need 20 pints!

That's the only line he seems to ride, it has been said on numerous threads about the Ipswich riders don't seem to watch which lines are working during the meeting.

...and "Brown Envelopes!"

He wasn't that bad on a bike an he's proving to be a Wiz on a tractor... Regards THJ
