He told the club during the day he was retiring. Not going to exactly go out and put himself in risky places knowing he’s done after this or exactly put in full effort is he. Some riders wouldn’t of bothered Turning up and I respect him even more for actually doing so.

Yeah I agree DP gone re speedway bye bye.....Northside is like the weather hot hot...and so much more picturesque....great work by the track staff....

Btw ..... you've mispelled your surname (just remove the T).

When Doyle retires, he would make a wonderful track curator. Even while riding, he spends so much of his time closely inspecting the tracks...

Didn’t think I would ever say this but….. I enjoying the racing tonight (and last night) at Marketa stadium. I would really like Vaculik to have the ultimate success. He can fly, no doubt about it but….he hesitates when wanting to have a go at passing where the most successful go for it if they think there is a fair chance of doing it. Dudek is another that also does the same.

Some good speedway today, beaten by the better team who had 3 solid heat leaders. Mechanicals and falls cost the Comets valuable points. Harry continues to struggle with only 6 points from 15 rides to date a bit of a concern. Connor was good value today and rode a brilliant heat 15 before what looked like a mechanical cost him a much deserved win. Elliot was in the wars again and may also have suffered a mechanical for his second big of,f hope he isn't too bad. Great comeback for young Luke Harrison who also had a mechanical when in a scoring position. The skipper won't have been happy, he also had a mechanical in his his first ride when in a scoring position. More seating had been installed on the first bend since last week and it looked great so well done to all concerned. Unfortunate delay when someone took ill in the crowd with 2 races to go and once again on a breezy warm day it was hard work to keep the dust down. Missed Ranting Roy today, never thought I would say that. Well done to the Fen tigers.

Hate to say, it, but I thought it was his fault; not first bend bunching...

Just another perfect storm

Not all of them...

Poole is the benchmark but I think the gap is closing

Would say he's about 85% at the moment no issues on the bike but feels it when the adrenaline stops. As a family we are happy with his recovery so far

It is really good to see two young Brits up there near the top . I would never have imagined it ten years or so ago when it was just Tai W. Genuinely think Bewley, Lambert, Woffy and whoever else they pick have a good chance in the SWC. Who will be the 4th rider though? Is it back to 4 riders plus a reserve/u21?

The Jason Doyle All 4 back decision was truly awful.

Well the good news Zmarzlik failed.

Specs are on he dived

Where else would Tai be? He was in front on the inside, off the inside gate and there was no gap to go for.

Diver Doyle lucky there

And vice versa. Ridiculous meeting the same club so many times in the first part of the season. At least the weather is set fair and no chance of a rainoff for either legs.

Plymouth fans must be bored of seeing Poole are my thoughts.

Did Leicester Lions not make a similar claim of some "massive news" that turned out to be the signing of Max Perry?

That was not a bad meeting. With Marketa stadium reputation I was expecting a lot worse. Rew and Roe tailed off a bit at the end, shame really. How come round 1 of GP2 has taken over the thread for round 2 scheduled for two weeks time?

I don't see why all this "Keyboard Warrior" s#!te has kicked off again. I've not seen one complaint about Brady & the signing of Laguta. If anything, most fans are unhappy with everything that's going on around him. Alex is the new guy & the club is suffering from the same mistakes for the last decade. That's clear evidence the issues are elsewhere. Fingers crossed for Alex but unless others move on he'll be fighting a losing battle at King's Lynn & end up tarred with the same brush. We once had a guy very similar to him, in that he'd travel to GP's, Ekstraliga, Elitserien meetings, chatting with rider's, marketing the club locally but eventually British Speedway knocked the stuffing out of him. He was the son of our (past) owner. Personally I'd forget about Poland, go looking at the youngsters from America, Germany, France, Argentina etc, these guys would be absolutely grateful for a chance & give you everything they have. Even 16-18yo Swedes & Danes are worth a shot over employing the same old same old year in, year out. Alex, pleeeeeeeeease do something different for 2024. Source new track material & find new rider's & do it your way. You're listening & learning from the wrong people who have already done a very poor job for over a decade at this club.

Brady has spent money to try & improve Lynn, so I can't see how fans can knock him. It's the other riders that need a kick up the arse.

Also meeting completed in 70 mins included grading breaks, which is excellent, well done to the scunny promotion.

I’m afraid the numbers game is killing the sport in GB.IMO

Your not doing it for a bite though. Your peed off because people are laughing at you..

Yes, we did. My wife was happy to do all the driving from and to York, so very much win win. :-) Lovely day to be crossing Stainmore and sliding beneath Blencathra. One of the clearest views of the Kirkcudbrightshire coast I've ever had from the Workington-Maryport area. Very impressed with the track and the facilities. The racing was more interesting - less processional - in the second half of the match. Workington seemed to have a month's worth of bad luck in one meeting but, as others have said, there's no substitute for three strong heat leaders (not to mention useful points from one of your reserves). Can't help feeling floodlights (on the cards, eventually?) and evening meetings would suit Workington better. While the days are long, would it be worth starting a bit later - maybe 4pm or 4.30pm? On a day like today, might give the track a better chance. During the pregnant pause between heats 13 and 14, I did a rough spectator head count. Came to about 800.

On his Birthday too

I paid £60 for the year to watch Discovery+, already I have received my monies worth….. 3 GP’s, and 1 GP2. Plus just today I watched a World Superbikes race, championship bmx racing, and mountain bike down hill championship. Tuesday evening I watched Mondays Wolves v BV match. And there is so much more to come. That’s hard to beat.

Just checking the updates & I've noticed that josh has only had 2 rides !! What's happened to a rider having to take 3 rides ??

Tai hit his foot then the front wheel… get your specs out

Exactly. And he is STILL proving himself to be one of the very best riders in the world - despite what some may say...

Taxi for harry plz hindsight is a wonderfull thing but after todays programme notes he says he aint happy or enjoying why didnt we keep kelsey?. Delays dust and let down by the food outlets, plz tell the water tank driver put water on the inside where the riders ride! Saw a few people leaving early,roy was a miss get better soon,no mention about the meeting tomoz,what av would max glegg come in on,hope tony mole enjoyed it! How about putting start time to 6 or 6.30 track might hold water better.

Um, we have this thing going on between us...

Good evening Steve that statement was just for you .Not a bad meeting so far

Terrific racing tonight, Bewley again!!! Why is michelsen so bad in gp’s?

Far better Czech GP already. Actual passing!

Certainly has adapted to Monmore much quicker than Leon Flint.But starting off at Plymouth and not Berwick has probably had a lot to do with it.

My feelings are somewhat different regards the current SGP 15. I believe they should be required to make an entry into the qualification series if they think there is a chance they may not make the top 6 for an automatic seeded spot for the next year. If they finish outside the top 6 for any reason & have not entered the qualifiers then they cannot be considered for a wild card spot for the following season. This would stop those that maybe believe they are entitled to a place coming in each year & stopping the chance of a young rider that has invested vast amounts to navigate a path to the world championship, My idea is in essence the same as your line 3 but my idea means the current SGP riders have to make a commitment. I understand that injuries may cause a rider to fall out of the top 6 but that's all part of the game that you cannot predict.

King running in new spokes ,he’ll come good

And the caption on Discovery+ said it was round 3

That is a real shame, and I would think he will return at some point. He looked so promising as a youngster, and that ability is still within him. He needs to get his head in the right (positive) place, and carry on practising wherever he can, and return to the sport next season, better for it. Only he can do that, nobody else. So good luck Kyle as you try to reinvent yourself. You've got talent, so please don't throw it away, and return in 2024 with a different mindset, you can do it.

So these keyboard warriors aren't Redcar fans? I'm sure it was the same with Glasgow fans wanting wholesale changes after Tuesday night - a vocal minority

Mentor, an experienced and trusted adviser.

Not as good as Connor Bailey who scored 10+1 including 2 race wins, 1 paid win, on the rising stars list and available.

Eh? It would appear you misunderstood my post.

Morris is having strange season ,very up and down with his form
