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

GPWM LOL

The Tranny guy Gavan has way too much time on his hands speculating about whether they would have won if Pederson hadn't have stacked it 2nd bend....you did mate so why are u bothered!?..as for Panthers..I'm disappointed..the only positives were Basso and Hans..and I have this niggling worry that based on the 2 trips he's made here this season and done half a lap Nicki might think sod this and sack it off...disastrous start.. decent racing but came home annoyed.

I'd say P'boro did pretty well to get 42 once Mr Ped crashed out. Doyle & Emil are going to get plenty of 5-1's this year.

I bet you would be blowing smoke up his a*** if he was a Panther this season

Did they have some bad luck?

If I were Ippo I'd be putting a protest in, only time I've seen the track dimensions change were at Telford!

Basso will end the season at No.1. No doubt in my mind at all.

Interval doesn't seem necessary in speedway tbh

F*ck me what a shambles

Don’t know why anyone pays any attention to track records. None of them are accurate. That will change with the transponders.

Great to see that the clubs commercial department have secured a new sponsorship deal for the naming rights of the stadium with Pidcock Motorcycles. Can only be a good thing when a distributer of BMW, Motorrad, Triumph Motorcycles & Ducati agrees to pump money into the club. A motorcycle dealership supporting a motorcycle sport has got to be great news.

As you say like for like. Berwick should rest Jye this weekend and put his like for like replacement in.

Because they will get more attractive viewing figures, (and therefore) higher ad revenue across Europe by showing Fencing, Cross Country Skiing, Figure Skating and Cycling.

So probably a slight advantage on average over 2 legs to have the away one first I suppose if both matches close?

What? I love the superheat!!

You have a short memory. Your ‘protege’ was offered rides at a northern track when you were complaining then of a lack of opportunities, you turned it down as it was too far to travel. That was when there was several teams in the MDL as he rode for most of them at least once, so plenty of rides being offered then. There was opportunities then and there still is now, Birmingham are crying out for riders to join the MDL ! The riders have simply disappeared, retired as they were never going to ‘ make it ‘, given up, got too old or too skint or simply had enough and have not been replaced by new novices for reasons stated before.

In fairness we had 27 heats, a parade and a sun delay in two and three quarter hours, is that really that bad? Were the gaps between races really that long? I'm not so sure. I think around ninety minutes for a standard 15 heat meeting is about right personally so that wasn't too bad last night IMO.

I'm not sure the point you're making? I'm sure Leicester didn't move up with the aim to finish bottom, nor will their opponents make it easy for them to encourage them to remain in the league. I'm sure the Leicester riders & promotion won't agree with any predictions putting them bottom, tbh I don't think there's a lot between the teams - but someone has to finish bottom!

Dr Peter Kenyon was a true gentleman & always a fan of speedway. I have known of him for many years & know that many involved within speedway are very greatful for the services of the good Doctor. I know Tony Briggs speaks very highly of him & that the care he received from Dr Kenyon after his serious neck injury saved him from life changing injuries. Thank you for all the help care & advise you have passed on in your time you will be fondly missed , may you rest in peace

Thanks Mimmo shows how it is possible to have a different opinion without the need to be abusive

...you've reminded me Jan was the brother of Eddie!

A mention too for Jan Simensen. One of so many swedes who made riding a speedway bike look like the easiest thing in the world.

BSPA APPROVAL GIVEN!! We received some great news late last night that due to the crazy that we have found ourselves in, the BSPA have given their approval to the Redcar promotion to run a 5th attempt during the season, rather than wait for the allocated October window. We are extremely grateful for this decision, and discussions are now taking place with Redcar to come up with an alternative date for ROBBO TAKE 5!!!! Once we have a confirmed date, we will of course communicate it out. We will do all we can to try and ensure the line-up is just as competitive as it was for the attempt last week but during the season rider availability will be a lot different copied from Stuart Robson Facebook

I was part of a Glasgow 4 when we not only rode at CarrsWood in the Manchester 21st Anniversary weekend in May 1969 but we also slept in our transit van there that night. A really wet weekend, we ended up in a laundromat on Saturday afternoon drying out our gear - not quite like the denim adverts in the 70s! The sliding door fell off on the way home on Sunday night which delayed us somewhat. Great times a life time ago!
