Until KK comes to town of course.

We love you Emil we doo....we love you Emil we do....we love you Emil we dooo....ohhh Emil we love you! Don't even support Ipswich. Just love the fact we've got a rider like him back on British shores

For those who aren't there tonight,live commentary is on radio Cambridgeshire. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0f9d262

Like for like then.

Laughable? Doyle and Emil had both been beaten by Basso who is a 6 point rookie. Id say its more laughable to suggest Pedersen couldnt of popped out of the gate to beat one or both of those, considering how well hes done in Poland so far this season.

Really? Heat 1 - Pedersen on the wrong end of a 5-1 when he crashed Heat 6 - Basso gets beat by Sayfutdinov Heat 10 - Iversen gets a 5-1 Heats 13 and 15 no chance Sorry I dont think Pedersen would have done any better Rew - next big superstar from oz

My guess Putin following the meeting on Speedway updates to see how his buddy Emil is doing lol

Shame to see Ed Overland hanging up his mic.He is focusing on his health.Such a distinctive voice he had and he will be missed by many with his announcements. The other guy in the middle Andy Mitchell also finishing as he has work commitments. Kevin Moore takes on the announcing role from Edwin. Also it's great to have Gavin Caney back in the middle on the mic as presenter.

Was Aces legend Robert Lambert otherwise engaged?

So fast Freddie Lindgren rides in Steve Worrals testimonial on Wednesday

Weather is fine and sunny at present and the forecast is good with no rain.

So ok a 5-1 to us becomes a 3-3 still a loss on the night And even if he split them the other time a 4-2 to Ipswich would have been a draw So no I don’t think the loss of Pedersen cost them any points at all

Ipswich only being 2 up going into Ht 14 when we've ran 13 Heats of Speedway without having any rider at No.1 is hardly anything to shout about. Wouldn't have even been ahead by 2 if it wasn't for a couple of mistakes made by Panthers riders. Panthers are a good side as proven by the way they battled tonight but the huge concern is how injury prone the top two are, One crash and they're done for the night. It's costs us league points tonight and I'm certain it's going to cost us even more points throughout the season as I can see the same situation unfolding on several occasions unfortunately.

Come on Holder post something on Instagram to make us chuckle

Great meeting after the initial farce tbf

Worrying signs for the Witches - Doyle fails to win a heat

Two points down going into heat 15 after losing their number 1 on the opening two bends has cost Peterborough without a doubt.

Can't see the Witches getting battered anywhere this season with two solid big hitters in the team...

Just waiting for NSS1 to give his verdict on the meeting.

Buster taking a massive L on night one with his team selections (Nicki P & Worrall) This doesn't happen with Tomalin's picks (Holder & Tungate)

Hey lisa,,, having now seen the Panthers suits in the flesh,,, they are as purple as purple can be

Not seen a queue like this on the road to get into the showground since the grand final 06

As a (temporary) Leicester fan, I can't imagine how anyone would approach this meeting as an 18 year old riding in the same team as Jason Doyle, Emil Sayfutdinov, Danny King and a few other guys that rate a mention. Watch what they do and keep your head down when the tapes rise Joe. And good luck. This is the chance of a lifetime (so far anyway).

Shame this isn't on the Tele. I'd love to watch this .

I was being very literal with my timings, obviously there's track grading and such that's needed, especially with the demise of the track raker... but it does make you wonder where the time goes? I do think/hope the timing of meetings is something Whizzer Morris will have a look at in his new role.

You can't help the weather. Impossible to keep chopping and changing the start

That is an interesting concept. I have done that on two occasions so far to ask why it an online ticket is more expensive on the day....... Never received an answer to either I am resigned to having to get an online ticket each time, understand and support no cash but do not understand why a debit card cannot be used. You can use it at the bars throughout the stadium Still cannot fathom the need to charge £2 more on the day, feels like we should be encouraging people rather than exploiting the people making a last minute decision

Well I did not see that one coming, and we won this one with Adam Ellis having another off night again. Looks like we caught Belle Vue cold and at the right time. So that 2 meetings 1 home and 1 away and maximum league points gained, cannot fault the start to the league campaign. Well Done Tigers.

He already was when Carpman hinted that Emil might be a Panther rather than a Witch this season and got him all excited.

This he's a star in the making

is the white line official, Worrall went completely over it.

Heart in mouth time here already. We cannot afford to keep producing poorly prepared tracks especially when our top two are injury prone.

So good, so good, so good

Hope the place is sold out.

This is a photo of my club Sandwell's track. Sandwell were my only club and I was a member for 63 years, firstly as a rider and then as an administrator. We build the track ourselves from scratch on land we rented for £15 per annum from Sandwell Council, and everything that can be seen on the picture including the floodlights, the clubroom, the pits, and the spectator accomodation, was constructed by our members. We never had a penny in financial help from Sandwell Council, but we had a watertight document from the council's predecessors (Oldbury Council) that we couldn't be kicked off the land as long as we paid our rent and caused no nuisance. In 2014, Sandwell Council sold the adjacent land to a private school and as this was a school for problem kids, the new owners wouldn't allow us to cross their land, and as access to the track compound could only be made through the school grounds, we had no option but to wind up the club. Sandwell Council had no interest in helping us resolve the impasse - all they were prepared to talk about was upping the rent to a level we could never afford, so a marvellous facility was lost to the Borough. At approaching 84, I'm too old to be involved now, but I loved my time in Cycle Speedway and would highly recommend any youngsters taking it up.

Correct (19.7.21)

The club have posted that all parking spaces at Unipart have now been booked.

Both great clubmen!

Looks like it has been pinned!

Speedway Fan has proof its not happening......sadly its just locked in his glove box

A tube of 'Deep Heat' is good for that!!

That’s very sad news indeed, father and son have always been a part of Brandon. Difficult to imagine the Bees without a Doc Kenyan. RIP Doc , my thoughts are with your family and the community.

Nooooooooooooooo

Etheridge being 4th in the averages isn't the issue, so much as starting with 2 x 2.00 riders at reserve. Teams like Poole or Scunthorpe could probably cope with r/r more than others.

You won't get a facility for etheridge until he's rode for you this season,you would be better off signing a replacement as he's too injury prone anyway imo.

W*nker?

For the first time in many a year , this match looks to have a "Premiership" line up with 2 decent international standard heat leaders per side. May the racing reflect the line ups and give the hardy souls who turn up to these late winter meetings plenty of entertainment.

Can I put a different spin on it Tony (or perhaps less spin, more drive ) ? How about P-O Serenius, or indeed Erik Stenlund ? Brave, brave men who took on, and beat the Russians at their own game. Thoroughly nice blokes too,,

Bjorn Knutson was my all-time favourite rider. Retired too early of course or he would surely have won more than one world title and Ivan Mauger might not have won as many.

Remember Eddie Davidsson at Cowley...simply awful and found it hard to negotiate the tight bends. I'm sure he was the father of Jonas and his brother who I can't recall the name?
