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.

Holder was lucky to get back in that rerun, I watched it back and he clearly tried to cut back under lambet and just ran into him.

Dammit! You beat me to it!

I was right; team riding... Second one is covering the inside.

Straight in with the dibber me,no messing about.

If it goes on much longer Wozniak will miss his flight

I think they are muting the stadium for some reason, mind you those Scots do swear a lot.

Thought Holder had 8, no?

Either that, or I've gone totally deaf! Not impressed with that, surely they could chat about something? The weather, politics, what colour wallpaper the new Prime Minister will put up in number 10?

There's an interval after this heat

So it's as @Rob B said, freeloaders = buffering, wish I was a freeloader.

It's on now

Crashed in practice

Eric must have been in his late 80's when he did the interview for backtrack, articulate and sharp as a button even at that age.

You're probably right. And I'll be supporting the twins since they started their track appearances at Brandon. But your comments are similar to many who don't support the NDL at all. And the criticism is often unfair. Many riders in this league give 100% every time they appear and the quality of racing is generally very good. Oh, I know that I will get a lot of stick. "We only get overtaking because of amateur mistakes". Well that's not completely wrong but it is not fair to many NDL riders who are truly entertaining. The winners only win the final. There are 14 (?) other races. So I will be there and I'm expecting it to be good value for money.

Nice average dropper for Leon and Wells, hopefully for someone else next year !

Pretty sure he became their official track inspector too when the position was created.... RIP...

That makes no sense, why use a previous month's averages for the Pairs?
