Welcome back Ulrich

I had an email from them this morning outlining the issues and the resolution. They advised the full meeting is available to view on the website. They also offered a full refund because of the inconvenience, as a goodwill gesture. That's an extremely generous offer. But I will not be taking it up, having been able to watch 14 of the heats, albeit a few heats behind the live action. Good luck to the Academy lads and the promotion.

Thanks, some people love posting information and pretend they are in the know.

There’s a nice video remembering Nigel Pearson on the British Speedway YouTube channel today.

When you rely on a third party to ensure things run smoothly there's always a chance that this kind of thing may happen and you are the one to take the flak. Fortunately the issue was resolved fairly quickly and normal service was restored. Considering the tricky conditions after the deluge the riders did remarkably well to provide good competitive racing. Of course, but for the remarkable efforts of the track staff there would have been no racing at all so that is worth bearing in mind also.

Yep got there in the end and once it was working it was the usual high standard of broadcast. Really wish other clubs would do this too.

Just think who's the team manager, then that explains the move.

Not sure you will get away with it when Dan Ford has said he reads the forum occassionally

Yeah must’ve been tricky to get passed Stoneman and the caravan he was towing.

I went out of full screen & back in.It is alright now,thanks Lisa.

Out of the house? Worth a go

Flaps threw a Treble Nineteen...

They can fight every meeting if it means they win.

Well done BSN

Says in the speedway Star that Erik returned to Germany for tests "on a debilitating condition which He described as brain fog and dizziness" so is going to have blood tests, MRI scan and checks on His heart. Hope its nothing too serious and He gets well soon.

Is that when it starts snowing?

Roynon rode his 4th league match on October 4th, which somehow didn't count as it was after the playoffs cut-off date - which doesn't really make any sense as even if the match was raced before the cut-off neither Armadale or Plymouth could make the top 4 anyway! So it's not as if riders would try & drop their averages because it "didn't matter". However Ashton Boughen rode as a guest a whole month later (Nov 4th) and was given an average, because it was his 4th match! For the record I have no issue with Roynon raving in the NL, just think it should be on the right average. But it appears the BSPL are more interested in making sure a 34 year old with previous Premiership experience, who's being racing since 2007 get all the assistance possible to find a team, with his low average. But Ashton Boughen a 15 year old who has only ridden FOUR matches in his career - let's give him an average to screw with the team who gives him a chance! Roynon also had 5 guest appearances which don't count for averages, but Boughen's guest appearances did!

100% if a French club could attract enough punters to make it worthwhile? Not that much different to when the IoW used to ride in the British League! I think a team based in Dublin at one of the few dog tracks in the area could also work?

That was awful. Three home race winners tells you all you need to know. Embarrassing

On other words... Did his job as a second string

Beat an awful Jorgensen both reserves and made one gate where he seems to be a different rider when in front. Wouldn’t get too excited.

Hide some fish in the air con while you're there

Berwick as rubbish on track as they look on paper.

Turn 4 camera person has been on the sauce again

I'm super impatient, so I do that if it buffers for two seconds lol

Not a lot In the standard cut and thrust of lap 1 Brennan possibly blocked Wights run and effectively ended his challenge for the lead Have seem plenty worse - certainly no need for that reaction From memory on previous visits when with Somerset Wright seemed to have a similar lack of understanding when partnered with Starke....

Panthers hoping to announce new number 1 over the weekend

Your wish has been granted.

Match now being streamed.

They won’t

The racing there isn't good enough to attend as a neutral. The sooner they get a new, racier track, the better.

One away defeat doesn't cost you the play-offs, in fact Wolves could lose every away match by 8 like they did at Lynn, but also win every home match by 22-26 points like they did against Belle Vue & Lynn, get all the bonus points & make the play-offs!

Maybe using Leon's 3 rides up early and use Coles rest of meeting? Only reason I can think of based on their form last night

Good news being, it is turning into summer next week .. ... apparently

The Monarchs Stream was let down by its host platform Vimeo which crashed. They switched to YouTube to get it going again. Obviously the customers suffer and the club will be in touch with those who bought the stream and didn't get what they paid for. It can't be guaranteed that it won't happen again but it is something which should be extremely rare.

Shocking tac sub decision, i’m sure it’ll be forgotten about by most with the meeting being rained off

That's the date Glasgow had pencilled in for KO Cup so unless Berwick have riders unavailable should be good for 28th

Very unlike them to get it wrong stream is normally fantastic. Not sure if the weather had a bit to do with it.

well wel wel told you bandits we coud beat glasgow at glasgow mmmmmmm very nice

Yeah, the rain caught everyone off guard. Funny how the rain always starts at 6:30 on Fridays here!

A job in weather forecasting is probably not an option. Saying that the actual forecasters got it wrong as well.

Yeah, I thought that too. I was surprised how quickly they called the meeting off too.

Gating will definitely be more important tonight. Conditions should help the Bandits a bit. No one seems bothered about the track, and track staff haven't done any work on it, so they seem quite content about it. They're a bit less content about a car that seems to be blocking an ambulance from entering the stadium...

On second look, the home straight is a bit wetter than I thought. Might need a bit of work in places.

Glasgow skipper Tom Brennan will lead the Tigers at Shielfield Park on Saturday. He had been due to fly to the Czech Republic to represent Great Britain after tonight’s Ashfield encounter But the European Team Championship semi-final has been postponed and Brennan will be in stripes at Berwick when the tapes rise at 7pm.

Well done to Ben Cook 10+2 - more that the Lions top scorer!!

Probably the same reason nobody wants Craig Cook or Troy Batchelor

I hadn't thought of that either. I'm not having a good day

Do I believe him? If he wished me good morning I'd go and look out of the window to make sure it wasn't dark!

Rides regularly in Poland
