Lambeth, eh? He should walk his last two... I'll get me coat...

Why is that mascot hanging around the ambulances like a tool, he should be circulating and entertaining the kids, morbid tosser. As if Anders wants to see that buffoon as he drifts in and out of consciousness, he'll think he's hallucinating.

I'm struggling to work out what's wrong with the track if anything, it's nice and wide, plenty of room entering and exiting the bends and it's smooth with just enough dirt on it. The crashes have all appeared to be rider error to me.

As if he hasn't missed enough gates already.

I reckon the stream will work out pretty cheap in the end. £1 an hour I reckon

If I hadn't spent the money on the stream my Chicken tikka Biryani with madras sauce and Peshwari naan would be arriving now

His interviews and thoughts on the Halifax and Kenny Carter dvds tell you quite alot about Eric as a person.I personally never went to Halifax much more than five times but what a day out loved the track and the people.Loved the clubhouse where you could have a quiet pint and a chat and the Shay what a sight a great track and a real test for a rider.Eric/ Bonnie Boothroyd and his track staff made Halifax a great track to visit I only wish i could of visited it more.

Those last two heats were absolutely epic. Nothing wrong with the track!

2010 AGM

Speedway doesn't conform to ULEZ regulations and all clubs being fined for having tractors.

To be fair I've had no buffering at all, it just seems like a pretty amateurish presentation all round , then again it's live speedway and it's marginally better racing than last Saturday. I actually like watching speedway on banked tracks, reminds me of Halifax and Bradford, always loved going to the Shay

Sam started well but as a previous post suggest flagged a bit in his last 2 rides. A courageous performance from the captain on a heavy track. Paco best rider tonight. When he didn’t come round after his last race and headed to pits I thought he was a certainty for heat 15. Poor management IMO. Castagna merited heat 15. Only dropped a point, paid 11. Manager should have put him in last heat.

Tungate is as popular as a turd in a swimming pool

It breaks my heart but speedway has reached an all time low this year, I know injuries can’t be helped but overall this meeting just about sums up the sport, Newcastle closing ,cardiff last weekend, barker suspended and I hear we are just around the corner from another bad headline, where did it all go wrong ?

I am going to contact the credit card company and tell them I didnt get what I paid for.. If they challenge me I will make them watch the meeting via on demand... When they have sat through it I reckon I will get thirty quid back never mind fifteen..

Why are there so many ambulances there? I would've thought they would be busy on a Saturday night in Glasgow?

So that's what a holeshot is, cheers.

British Speedway - If in doubt play "Sweet Caroline" ........ Geez please no viking hand-clap.

Gorzow in trouble tomorrow.

And here we go again, everyone join in , hello darkness my old friend

Needs to get himself a British team spot next season in order to learn new skills. Throttle jockey Polish tracks won't teach him anything more than he already knows so he should dump the Swedish league in order to become a better rider.

Hugely disappointed in Kubera tonight.

This weeks Tractorfest isnt a patch on last weeks in Cardiff..

Paid. Only hasle was jack holders interview. Perfect apart from that. Think Chris has couple of acres. Poor lad

Crowd levels which is a real concern. Just pointing out the concerns that sports will run into next year, I would think thats relevant to any speedway club

Mildenhall

Sgp 3 semi final 1 25/8/22 first heat is 1200 and features British 250 champion Luke Harrison semi final 2 first heat is at 1900 and features Max James and Ace Pijper the final on 26/8/22 first race is 1600 with the top 8 from each semi racing let's hope all the boys make it through

Perhaps Ronnie O'Sullivan will be there

Absolutely agree. Sam shouldn’t have been out but I get the feeling he will always be given the option. Having to hug the inside line can’t have been very comfortable for his injuries either.

Strange meeting I thought. Never felt the Bears were riding well but ended up only 4 points down. Track obviously very tricky early on with numerous falls and spread out racing. Kerr came good in his last 2 rides and Lawson was a good guest. Best I have seen Castagna ride and Pickering as entertaining as usual.

Sad news indeed. A personal favourite from his 1960s Middlesbro' Bears days, along with Eric Boocock, Clive Hitch, Johnny Fitzpatrick, Brian McEown and Kevin Torpie at Old Meadowbank, Edinburgh. Great rider and a bit of an entertainer too - can recall him once doing handstands and walking on his hands on the Centre Green encouraged by Ian Hoskins. Many a great tussle with Dougie Templeton and others. Great memories of Eric Boothroyd.

He offered plenty tonight though.

Another brilliant race. Kim Nilsson using all of his UK experience tonight and he'll probably be a GP rider next year now if he doesn't do anything silly in his last ride.

You can't just ride it flat out everywhere, you have to think and respect it.

The unofficial anthem of England... Why are we playing it in Scotland? (I'm from Rye House, so I can say that)

That was mentioned earlier on here. No excuse for no commentary on the stream, though.

He looked to have an extra bend in his leg between his knee and ankle. Tib and Fib I'd say I think it's a poly foam fence, but I might be wrong. It's certainly quite "solid"

There have been several riders losing it in pretty much the same spot...

Presume the Saudis will put back the big fight start time till after this finishes...

I have informed them of the sound problems as well

I have as well. Only me tho. Cheaper than flying up. As in surrey. And train striks

Why? So that you could grow more turnips?

IMO Alex Harkess should have offered Ht 15 to Paco who certainly justified his inclusion based on his performance on the night. Got the impression when interviewed on his Rider of the Night presentation Paco was disappointed not to have been included for the last race. Everyone I spoke to agreed that they thought Sam understandably tired as the meeting progressed, and putting him in ht 15 done him no favours in his recovery from his injuries.

All i was told is we can’t run on 27th or 28th for reasons out the clubs control So I can assume that is conditions of the lease with the landlord , lack of medical cover because they have other bookings or local council regulations over noise because I know they were there measuring noise disturbance a few weeks ago.

What and miss out on all those play-off guest bookings?

Think they gave their all in April

Always been tight.!!!!

Not important enough for BSPA site, disgraceful.
