Ah yes. The meeting raced at Brough Park, as the Bandits were homeless. And Nig Close took Steve Wilcock off, and should of been excluded. Not that I am still bitter about the 29th October 1980. Lol.

Shades of Eric, Ernie, and Andre 'Preview'... The ref said... "I am pressing all the right buttons, just not necessarily in the right order"..

If the alternative is the' Glasgow Tigers Song' played at Ashfield -- be thankful for Neil D!

Hans Andersen favourite in the 1.30 at Curragh this afternoon. Unusual way of trying to find form but good luck to him!

Don`t think they can PLAY-OFF PICTURE - HOW IT WORKS – The quarter-finals will consist of the 3rd v 6th placed team and 4th v 5th placed team, the top two teams will go direct to the semi-final. – The team who finishes top will have the pick of the quarter-final winners in the semi-finals. – All ties are over two legs, and any aggregate ties will be resolved by the Golden Heats format.

Last I heard he was working for peanuts... (I'll get me coat...)

Ah, variety... God, how I miss that. Singers, comedians, ventriloquists, magicians, jugglers... From 'The Good Old Days' to 'Junior Showtime' to Ralph Reader's 'Gang Show'.

VAR showed minimal contact

2022 Speedway Regulations: 011.1.8 Faulty Starting Gate If, because of faulty operation of the starting gate, or for any other reason, the Referee considers a start to have been incorrect, they must immediately stop the heat and order a re-start with all riders competing. If the starting gate should fail to operate entirely, the Referee may start the heats by using the green light. The green light will be switched on to indicate ‘under starters orders’ and switched off to indicate the ‘start’. Alternatively, the green/National flag may be used.

Best way

But definitely not Sheffield's fault....

My 10yo doesn't like it. She says it's too old!! lol. She has her hands over her ears when they play it !

A racers track with a bit of dirt up high. Thought it looked perfect for Bomber to run riot but he was very off colour last night.

I will be on holiday in Devon so am popping along to this for my first visit to Plymouth. I will have my Leicester programme board and a dog so come and say hello.

I organise 3 events per year ( autojumbles) https://en-gb.facebook.com/South-Midlands-Autojumble-454079101421891/ while some stall holders choose to take the option of payment in advance at a discount, the majority turn up on the day, cash is the only means of payment on the 3 entrance gates for the public , it has been going 32 years now Using these methods the stall prices have remained the same for 32 years and public admission has crept up from £2.50p to £4.00 in the same period, we looked at on line ticketing and basically it just meant some financial body was dipping into our cash as there would be a fee for their services/card readers/percentage charges, and if the system failed you were basically b*****ed Ok it is a fairly small event relatively, with approx 100 stall holders and around 900 plus paying attendees, but as the majority of customers are in the same ( or older) group as Speedway audiences, it still works, although last year we had some bearded hipster turn up without any cash and said he never carried any and we should take cards, he got instructions to the nearest cash point as strangely enough he did not have any mates who could lend him a fiver, what he thought he was going to buy off the traders with his plastic was anybodies guess as most would suggest a convenient slot for his credit card !

There didn't seem to be any reason in particular other than no-one could believe Troy Batchelor scored 13 points!

I was at the Lions Den tonight & on tonight's performance Coles would easily beat Cleggy. Cleggy, don't know what has happened to him as he was progressing well in his career but now he looks like he'd struggle in the NDL.

Unfortunately I was at them both.!!

Well done to the Bears ,very good Team performance.Eric Riss was sublime.

I answered this question in a previous thread about Oxford 1964, started by BOBBATH on July 9, 2021 in Years Gone By. I concluded that if teams had not been affected by injuries it was likely that Oxford would have finished third instead of fourth in the league table.

I think there is a suggestion that some of the blame will fall on Esbjerg, for letting one guy do everything and not supervising his activities, not to mention washing their hands when it all started to fall apart. And I think it unlikely the DMU/FIM will escape without af least some reputational damage. My money is on Discovery suing Esbjerg.

Gary Williams/Guglielmi (if I've spelt that correctly?)

Most agree with you and its extra beer now that speedway no longers gets their money.....

Hey guys, I know there's a bit of pee taking going on here, but give Steve a break, he keeps us grass roots supporters up to date in the absence of official statements from Rob's PR department ().

He knows a lot more than he let's on .

Maybe but it saves you asking ( if so inclined) what`s the point scoring used this season. Are tac subs allowed when a team is a certain number of points behind( the answer is no)

Much later as they get almost an extra day...

Especially when most people pay by card. As if you want to pay by cash at Poole I think you have to go through the glass stand entrance. Every now and again there will shout ' if anyone is paying by cash, join this line' and you skip past 3/4 of the other queue which is card payments!

Well u won't get a verdict from the jury coz they all got p*ssed on board the Pirate Ship!

We break from the league for this Mickley Mouse trophy . Tonight should be interesting though as Chris Harris is always entertaining and future Tiger , Knudsen , has his audition . Still it's usually a decent meeting when Berwick are in town , so a night of beer and entertaining speedway is on the cards

Charlie Brown.. AKA Giuseppe Marzotto.. (Wonder what happened to him?)..

Thanks

In many ways it is a ridiculous sport, however naming an old style number 8 when using RR isn't. It's something that should happen. On another note looking at some old photos of Ipswich circa 1990 they had a squad of 11 riders & no doubling up. Speedway the only sport to have spent 30 years in reverse!

As you say, depends on your view point. I certainly wasn’t surprised by the decision. Before it was announced I said Basso pushed him a bit hard there……

I Think if you are going to Post statements like that you should always name your source so as it can be checked out by forum members for themselves.

I’m afraid Macgregor needs to go to Specsavers,Knudsen just ran out of track trying the outside line ,Basso was nowhere near him ,excluding him was joke.Flint done exactly the same thing on the same bend trying to go round Knudsen in his fall.The 4 Berwick falls were all self inflicted IMO.They took hefty knocks don’t know how they will be feeling tomorrow morning.Bandits didn’t have lot going for them.Ricky was terrible,thought Knudsen was impressive on his first visit, certainly giving everything and looked stylish.IMo.

Track was fine. No idea why they kept falling off to be honest. The only one who went down near someone else was Knudsen in heat 14. The others were completely solo crashes (apart from Ricky Wells going into the back of Pijper when he came off, of course, but that was collateral).

I’ve said it before & I will say it again. Max Clegg is not a championship rider. Hyped up beyond belief & can’t even beat Kyle Bickley. What any club see in him is beyond me. I would rather give Tom Spencer the spot then him. Looks like Nick Johnson will be happy now he has got his favourite rider back in Leicester. Nick you can’t defend the terrible performance he gave today

Plenty- rides every week in the U 24 league for Lublin.

Where have you been... did you miss the big announcement across all the media outlets?

GATERS PARADISE, NO PASSING, BORING WIMBORNE ROAD AT IT'S BEST ON WEDNESDAY! Dunno wot Danny and Zach were doing, c'mon lads don't be doing that you'll be giving us a bad name whatever it is!

After the embarrassing debacle of the Ipswich match in the full glare of live television, they've had three weeks - THREE WEEKS! - to make sure that everything is in tip-top condition to avert even the remotest chance of a repeat of the needless embarrassing delays; and what happens? before a wheel has turned there comes the wearisome announcement of "track electrician to the referee's box" and there's a thirty-five minute delay because of the perennial problems with the starting gate. And even after it has been decided that the gate is never going to work, it takes the referee another twenty minutes to explain to the riders that they have to start on the green light. Throughout all this, poor old Ryan Guest has the thankless task of "entertaining" the increasingly-restless crowd by staging inane interviews with Steady (who repeats ad nauseum all the 'news' he's already written in the programme notes) and Adam Ellis, who tells us how interesting it is to be riding at number three rather than number five. I can't believe I paid good money to be treated - along with a thousand others - with such casual offhandedness. Maybe Damian Bates will now realize what he should have done years ago, that it makes sense to pay an electrician a day's wage to come in and re-wire the endlessly-failing starting gate system and replace all the ageing components that have let us down with monotonous regularity, meeting after meeting, for years. It's a small price to pay to ensure that the paying customers are not frustrated and disgruntled at having to wait an hour on their feet before they get to see the racing they've paid for. I wonder if the truth will dawn on the promotion that they've got another three weeks to fix the problems, rather than waiting till 7.30 on race-night. What utter plonkers! Damian Bates had the gall to write in the programme notes of his "disappointment" with people who write on here to express their well-justified displeasure at having been treated like fools, having paid good money to be left standing around for endless minutes at the Ipswich fiasco waiting for something to happen. He slags us off in the programme notes and then DOES IT AGAIN AT THE VERY NEXT MATCH! Has the man no shame? He thanks us for our "patience and understanding" but clearly this is just empty rhetoric to cover over the cracks. Well, Batesy old boy, I for one DON'T understand and my patience is wearing thin. There are other things to do on a Thursday night and like many others I now regard speedway as being in the last chance saloon. Frank Varey must be spinning in his grave. Best get your finger out.

Makes me feel old, as I have seen Dick Bradley ride!!! So glad he’s alive and (hopefully) well.

For those who are familiar with Polish Speedway and the GP`s/SEC. Marcelina has given birth to a boy Milan.

I can thoroughly recommend watching the hour long highlights programme on Eurosport. The meeting cracks on at a pace, no interviews, no full race replays, no Sam. If I watched this as a first timer on TV, I would have been very impressed.

And a Jubilee Trophy final on 31 October won't look as strange as a Summer Trophy final
