  1. Sensible decision, as per Scunthorpe v Newcastle and Leicester v Berwick as well, but prepare for someone to turn up tonight, who hasn't checked all day to see whether it was still on or not, and complain that they weren't personally notified

  2. Fair play to Plymouth I'd bought an Online Ticket for this match and had a very polite "match off" e-mail off the Club / Ticket Agent at about 10 past 8, well before anything appeared on Social Media. Disappointing but I'll look forwards to the rearranged fixture.

  3. Team changes are fine, but what about team managers? Would it be worth bringing in Trevor Swales?

  4. Rowe wants to ride more in Poland where he has offers, good contacts from a spell in 2020 and also potentially fast bikes prepared by one of the top UK tuners based over there. If that's where he wants to focus people should respect that and he certainly doesn't have the big fish in a small bowl some UK riders suffer from and have all of their careers. He's not going to be riding for any Friday / Saturday / Sunday track in UK on that basis and as U24 league is on a Tuesday in Poland that really narrows his CL options you'd think for a home track and he'd miss a lot of away matches. Fait play to the kid, he's showing ambition

  5. What if the dog isn't at all bothered by the 'noisy environment'? I always took a dog with me when going alone to Oxford, Wolverhampton, Peterborough, Coventry or Leicester. None of them have ever shown the slightest concern about noisy motorbikes, in fact quite the opposite as they just went to sleep on a blanket while the match was on. Border Collies too that are supposed to be lively.

  9. Interesting sidebar here, in that all the moaners who claim they were left standing outside the turnstiles when a match has been called off earlier would have no worries if they had -- as more and more folk are doing, for so many things as well as speedway -- booked online. It really is the way to go in 2022.......

  10. The bit in bold make it sound like you are questioning BV as a racetrack based on last night alone, if I've misunderstood you then fair enough. Last night was a half decent watch without hitting the heights that the NSS has on many previous occasions, I think the missing riders contributed to that and R/R is always a nuisance. There is no if, BV is by far the best track i the country and very rarely is the inside line the quickest, usually there are multiple fast lines.

  12. you could also say, if Brennan had used his second bike from the start. All if's and but's. But that's speedway

  13. Boring meeting only kept interesting by the close score line . If that's the best track in the country.. Ipswich must be 2nd. Another track where going the shortest way round wins the race.

  14. Totally agree with you, got to put feelings aside & do what's best for Glasgow. Which in this case is giving an unbeaten rider an extra outing!

  15. But he 'bangs the drum' when there is cause to, and with British speedway it's so often because it is run so badly. Happy clap if you like but the fixture planning, the team line ups and as a result the crowd tonight were embarrassing. I'm surprised so many people paid £20+ to go and watch it.

  17. I live 7miles from the centre of Leicester and seven miles from the stadium. It didn,t stop raining until late afternoon and so the call was right in my opinion.

  18. To be fair Rob Grant said there would be changes for the Leicester match & he isn’t lying . The change is Kyle Howarth is not guesting at no 1 he is going to ride against Newcastle instead

  23. A report from the meeting, then a piece of history afterwards Paul Cooper won the main race before 12,000 fans. Dutch rider was taken to hospital by helicopter, but is ok https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/nordmagazin/100-Bergringrennen-in-Teterow,nordmagazin96630.html

  26. It is as long as the weather is set absolutely fair and there are no showers about, some people like to decide at the last minute whether to go or not having been messed about by riders, promoters and referees in the past when there has been some late-in-the-day wet stuff.

  27. If last night had been 1 lap races ... would much have changed result wise? Wright "block passed" Hume in 1 heat and Barker would have finished more races....

  28. Hi Norbold I think I paid around £15--£20 for the programmes. But I have seen a excellent condition programme go for between £30-£50 which is surpringing for a vastly printed programme from 1961. Each copy has a unique number on the front cover.

  30. Another entertaining meeting from the NSS - fans staying home to watch is understandable I think £20 + to get in while can watch on tv if already paying for Eurosport makes no sense in paying twice - along with cost of living expenses it makes complete sense to watch from home . Not even convinced reduced admission would make much difference to crowd levels at tv meetings nowadays.

  34. I've been watching speedway for over 50 years and have seen fences made from railway sleeper (Crewe), plates off a battleship (Exeter) as well as the usual wire or solid board fences and have witnessed horrible crashed and injuries occur with every type of fence tried. Yes they get caught in the wire fences but equally rider bounce off solid board fence backing onto the track and riders that were behind them. I don't know what the answer is but sadly with the nature of the beast that is speedway I doubt we will ever find a totally satisfactory and safe solution.

  36. The call was definitely right!! I've been to the track today, could not even walk on it without it clumping up on my boots, not a chance of getting a tractor on it today, I have taken around 20 thousand ltrs of water from the drains and track tonight.

  44. The youth championship was in the fixture list at the start of the season. It's been in the programme every week. It was announced multiple times at the track v. Poole. Agree it's poor the websites is not updated regularly but the meeting was well advertised elsewhere

  45. That "shower of rubbish" as you phrase it, happens to be a lot of supporters speedway team,and yes,they are struggling at the moment,but in light of the risk they take by coming out to ride week in week out for our entertainment,can't you just,for once,cut some slack for this famous club.the riders confidence will be low at the moment and the likes of your comments don,t help.do you really want to lose another club like we can really afford to at the moment?
