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

My point is, even if Sedgmen goes back to scoring 4/5 points a week, that's still far more than Congreve is scoring. By not strengthening up, it appears Newcastle have accepted another wooden spoon?

Broken rib or ribs and damage to the lung. Get well soon to both!

Humble pie here. Promotors got it right as chucking it down here now. shame though as we planned our few days away around watching speedway tonight. Dont you just love UK weather?

There are videos of the rain pouring down from Poole fans on twitter. Well at least one anyway and...

This is more exciting than any Speedway meeting Will it, won't it? Did it, didn't it? Should it, shouldn't it?

Well, technically by the sound of your last post, you haven't really lost it. Why not have a night out in Poole and enjoy the local amenities, ye never know,,, you might meet a nice Swede?

Yeah forecast is a lot better now, but when it got rained off at near midday, at that time it was 90% chance of heavy rain at time of meeting! Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I am sure the management are gutted that it looks a hasty decision.

I’ve seen a few meetings at Plymouth over the years and that was definitely the poorest by some considerable way due to track conditions. Only genuine pass I can recall is Bomber on Hans as the stream missed the other one… Palm Toft passing someone IIRC as they were hyping up Barker who was well in front… Incredibly frustrating to be so close to a point yet again and just missing out but that’s what it is.

The November ones are better than the October ones!

according to the fixture list, Poole has no meetings on 15th or 29th June

WHY DON'T YOU Go out and do something less boring instead!

Dunno, are u peed off coz u have travelled & lost money? I've lost about £130 on travel & accommodation, yes I'm well peed off but it is wot is. I hope it rains & so will the Poole promotion to justify the decision but if it doesn't rain u can only go on the forecast. The promotion would've taken everything into consideration before making the call. It's probably already cost them money & hassle to call it off. There's a lot more things that go on behind the scenes to sort out to get a meeting on than we the humble fan will ever appreciate. They are certainly not lazy!

Everyone is entitled to there opinion that’s what sites like this are for I disagree but as I say that’s just my opinion and I respect yours.

It was certainly a waste using Wells as a TS to beat McGurk, who scored 0! Even if he beat Andersen, that's only 1 point gained compared to what a Berwick reserve would've done

Trackprat!

Bit mean to Berwick aren't you?

Probably because the work's behind schedule and the clock's ticking down. More workers coming in, price goes up.

Yes, they need proof for an injury. If they are "unwell" it's an automatic 7 day break from racing.

Why whats changed ?, except Brum have won.

11 days since last news.............so...... how's it garn marra??????

You can not sack the sackless

No it doesn't along as the information is used & stored inline with the regulations.

Jeez i remember him riding for Panthers as a 16yr old !!!

To some maybe?

Jack Holder limping after his crash in the GP in Poland expect this now gives him an excuse to miss the match at foxhall with a recurrence of his infamous toe injury
