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.

Whoever gets outside for race off big advantage.

Nillson qualifying not filling me with excitement.

Thats why don't like these meetings, I know some people will say they qualified on merit but just 2 meetings. Always get some dodgy ones, like Kasprzak couple of years ago.

Unless you're from Belle Vue in which case all other tracks are rubbish

To be fair he didn't get in the way any more than Wozniak and Kubera have this evening

I think it is "bahn record" Dean, as only one...

I hope so I’m losing the will to live at the moment

Ok, when I see you.

I'll send an email totapesuptv, you never know.

Dave sounds ok but whoever is with him sounds like he's 50yds away

The concept of the BSPA’s ideas are often sound - it’s the actual product delivered that invariably doesn’t match the concept …

Used it once before, maybe 2020, for an individual meeting, I had trouble getting connection. Initially I was trying to connect too soon, recommended by Tapesup not try until within 15 minutes of the start. If I remember there was a sound problem. Once you pay, which I have done for tonight, you get access to a pre-event page with a list of helpful things. I hope I have a better experience,, that any past problems have been smoothed out. It will be worth it I think.

Cardiff. Just Kidding.

Thought when we were 8 up with 5 to go we’d push on cause 9/10 we’re normally very strong from then. Last night it just didn’t happen for one reason or another. Kerr went from being totally useless to popping out the gate in 13/15. Could see Sam was starting to struggle after his 2nd ride. Should’ve had paco in heat 15 as would’ve been on a max if it wasn’t for the fact heat 3 had to get rerun 3 times. Still extremely unsure how that wasn’t awarded as we were 3 laps in and it was well spread out. 4 points it is. Is it enough probably not but these boys have proved us wrong before. Shout out to the big Redcar following last night was great to see so many make the trip and and we’re a good laugh as well.

No Vaculik- MJJ replaces Huckenbeck

Wasn't expecting much from this meeting, but I thought it would be a better than this
