Maybe Peterborugh have instructed him to stop racing in Poland...

Normally you!

I'd have to agree that the booking fee is something that has annoyed myself as well. Whilst trying to book for Newbury races for 6 people I had a £30 booking fee thats 6 X £5 for a single transaction. We never went, I'll pay the £5 but not £5 for each ticket when all booked together. I think we believe the same facts that why should we pay the fee when it is us that have done all the work

NO gates are being prepared differently for any team or rider

Only if Chris Harris didn't answer the other 49 times

Bomber then after all he doesn’t get many guest bookings.

Tonight is the homeless derby

Two shockers Danyon should've gone in heat one and heat 2 was all 4 all day long

Guestbusters?

To be fair the big clubs usually get the decisions same as the footie

No one gives a f**k anymore

Something good is happening at Mildenhall with it regaining it's happy family feeling once again, thanks to all the hard wok everybody is putting in. Customers are made to feel welcome, and the only other place that I've experienced that is the Isle of Wight, who have a wonderful set-up, that speedway in general could and should be learning from. People moan about Mildenhall being a dangerous track, but then all tracks are dangerous, and I don't mean that literally, but wherever you race on a machine that are so highly tuned these days, with no brakes, then they're all dangerous from that point of view. I agree that they do get a lot of riders falling/crashing etc; at Mildenhall, but nine times out of ten, it's the younger riders learning their trade that are falling/crashing, which is inevitable as this is a Development League club, not somewhere like Doyle, Bewley, Masters and so on race. Yesterday, I attended the meeting against Berwick, raced in front of a very health Bank Holiday crowd, and was equal in racing quality that I've seen at any level (I'm not talking GP's), and possibly the best meeting I've been lucky enough to witness at ANY level, for a couple of years now. So well done Mildenhall for all the hard work you are obviously putting, and well done Berwick, for coming and attacking the track, rather than being wary of it. Superb Meeting.

If I had my way it would be a guest for a missing Number One, R/R for either heat leader missing and a junior/team asset (although this is open to abuse) for second strings and reserves.

If they'd had a whole month to sign somebody and had failed to do so then yes. Guests and facilities are being used far too often and for too long, it's further damaging speedway's credibility.

Berwick’s not going to drop Watson, it was the whole idea of the Courtney’s set up. He had never rode a speedway bike until he rode at Duns, then into the NJL team, then into the NL team, and he’s a Berwicker

Jesus is that what it is!?..Panthers owners/management hang your head in shame....

Reading this would have you believe that it’s only Glasgow that has these crashes. It’s a dangerous sport and happens on an almost daily basis at all tracks Glasgow is no more dangerous or safer than any other track.

Embarrassing. He's not a number 1. If Laguta goes to Leicester that's me done

Sums up today’s generation. Take the cash, screw the fans and bemoan that the supporters show no respect. Is it any wonder that the sport is in on its arse. The riders have no respect for the paying punter, the promoters continue to track six man teams and the seven rider side is unlikely with R/R seemingly common place and a sport that rarely can make ends meet takes the piss and yet in any other form of entertainment, the punter would walk. Not in speedway because the diehards accept what is dished up yet new punters take one look and think it is a joke and those in charge are blind to this. Why do those in charge, the promoters and the riders think they have some god given gift which demands support. The sooner all wake up and realise that they are instrumental in the decline of a once great form of entertainment, the easier it will be to rebuild but until then watch six man teams, 28 day replacements, interference from overseas leagues and riders who will never make the grade as long as the sport is run the way it is and it sums up what dire situation it faces. It needs some serious change but those in charge are as blind as those who do not want to see.

Bomber cannot be far off qualifying for a Testimonial at every track in Britain given he's rode for everyone for so long.. .

Different to what I heard…

Probably doing in a dust cloud so the ref can't see it.

But tbf it is easy to get into the thinking KK is a good idea. At least we had him in his prime

I'll give you 50/1 if you fancy a punt...

You have to seriously question his sense of judgement to be honest. Most people knew it was barking mad...

Hope we have a referee that notices when the gate staff repack the start gates that the home riders are on as well .

Absolutely! Eastbourne had a conveyor belt of riders ready to fill in any gaps...and, of course, the old Second Half encouraged riders in that they often mixed with the established riders. Even at Oxford when we entered the old National League we had riders waiting in the wings to be given a chance.

The old national league worked fine without guests

Are they wearing masks to terrify the opponent's

Bendybonko! YES!

KK is a disgrace no other word for it. Fair play to some of the Lynn boys who got going and young Edwards did ok For us King was awful …. Young Kenyan always on the pace and deserved heat 15 as Doyle not fit Emil just wow

I think some, but not all of our problems are that Buster and Allit are trying to put 2 teams together. Buster buying the Panthers didn't do Lynn any good.

Its Ipswich, what do you expect - they always get special treatment at foxhole :-(

Makes the decision to sign for Peterborough all the more bizarre. Was never going to be committed on our tracks was he really? Don’t think his first bend spill had much to do with it at all.

The rules have changed this year. Facilities are granted by the SCB Manager - Neil Vatcher, he determines the length of the facility but my information is it’s going to be limited this year after the furore caused by the Kennett situation at Plymouth last year. The most important change is when clubs are granted No official facility. In the past teams were forced to use a 2 point junior rider. This year teams are able to use a rider whose CMA is 25% less than the rider who is missing. To put this into context Wolves can continue to use Scott Nicholls to cover for Becker as Nicholls current GSA of 5.28 is at least 25% below Becker,s current GSA of 7.11 (7.47 home). Or can use another rider up to an average of 5.33. Thats my understanding of the regulations for 2023.

That explains why Edwardz Kennett has just taken out a Polish License.

Apparently he kept getting Peterborough flashbacks

Have Scunthorpe

I'd agree to a certain extent (my mother, however, couldn't navigate a computer/ipod etc and I'm sure that there are plenty like her of a certain age) and although I have a very basic phone I do use the internet but where I draw the line is having to pay a booking fee when ordering tickets etc. I use "contactless'" all the time and have no issue with that facility but I do carry cash on me because there are still businesses out there who only accept cash.

The whole of Manchester is empty now??

Don't disagree for those who have two teams like Berwick, but for clubs like Mildenhall, this is all they have, it's a league title at the end of the day.

Up from what? 500 to 510 is up. Until they start publishing attendances, it's all just stories.

I personally think they should go back to the old system of every point counts towards your total

No Panthers fan deserves this. Chapman has no regard for this club whatsoever. Hope he gets the abuse from the fans next Monday if he dares to show his face.

Bomber having a mare at No.1 could be our second 0 point return from a No.1 coming up. Still the results don't matter to Buster so why should us fans care.

Unless it's Rider/Replacement

I think it’s being shown on Discovery+.

Don’t want to be too hard on the lad but Thompson just isn’t ready for this level yet, can’t keep carrying him surely we need to build a bridge and get rowe or kemp in who will be able to compete with the other rising stars, keep Thompson on as a designated No.8 or something.

Wolves would possibly have used Chris Harris to replace Luke Becker, but Chris Harris is already replacing Nicki Pedersen. It's in the best interests of the sport that Chris Harris has his 28 day facility extended whereby he can guest for other clubs for a limit of only 28 days per month. Scott Nicholls and Rory Schlein should be given the same facility, If not the integrity of the sport will be seriously at risk.

Yeah I did see that RJ. But surely there has to be an option out there to get someone in as a 28 day replacement that would pay higher dividends than the three points R/R has been achieving? I get that they really like Riss and they’re giving him every opportunity, but as we can’t have a guest for him, a short term 28 day replacement helps us in the short term whilst also keeping Riss’ place for him when he’s fit and ready to return. Perhaps the options aren’t great.
