  1. Atkins is rubbing Garry May's face on the dirt with every point he is scoring Dumped him at Somerset, dumped him at Plymouth. The kid has always had ability just needed the right environment. We'll done Oxford

  2. Redcar and Glasgow are definitely both the best racetracks and most welcoming in the CL. I've never really got Scunny to be honest, it can produce good racing but suits out and out track specialists in my opinion. Evidence Simon Lambert.

  3. Young Atkins was probably Oxford`s match winner.

  4. Speedway definitely the winner last night, overtaking from heat 1to 16. Richard Lawson the biggest difference last night in my opinion. Just went about his business, no drama, never out of control just so under the radar when everyone else seemed so frantic.

  5. Survived the monsoon weather and was surprised how well the track stood up to the rain . Thinking this was going to be a one sided encounter , credit to the Monarchs in proving me wrong . Ultimately it was the brilliance of Basso and Harris that proved desisive , heat 13 in particular was incredible . Pride restored in the Monarchs camp after last Friday , the new Dane seemed to like the Ashfield circuit better than his own .

  6. MT hasn't been given the chance to prove himself but at least he's stuck around. Alex was given the chance, fooked it up and done a runner.

  9. I was like other Mons fans coming thro expecting another hiding. I was actually smiling when met with thunder & rain BUT…… what a speedway match. Best RACING I have seen in ages!!! it was scary, it was magnificent. Young Mr Basso and reliable Bomber were in superb form riding RIGHT on the edge. Million thanks to our old Champ winner Sedgy, excellent performance lad and I’m eager to watch Bastian progress, looks a great signing. Paco, Kye & Lasse all put in good improved shifts too Ht 13 should’ve been on TV - speedway from the top of the wardrobe, much too good for the top drawer. Disappointed not to take a point but I would’ve happily taken that score pre match

  10. Bandits promotion again proving why they are one of the best in the business, what a fantastic choice of guest at such short notice. I think this will be the night when the Bandits start their charge towards the playoffs after a lack of action at home for about a month, I’m sure we’ll see some smiling faces this evening. Sunshine speedway on a Saturday night, you won’t want to miss it.

  11. Came through to watch this thinking it was going to be a repeat of last Friday night, how wrong, when we arrived greeted with thunder and lightning,as said already don't think I've seen a better heat than 13 , Basso and Bomber magnificent all meeting, Edinburghs new signing going to be a good one on that showing Kyle started well but faded some other good racing as well.

  12. Ht 15 was an interesting one, a wide divergence of views on who should have been excluded, and not split across partisan lines. It probably depended on where you viewed it from. Either way it was a cracking match and that twist made it one of the best league matches I've seen in years - can't see the play-offs providing that much excitement. Redcar already topped my chart of favourite places to visit in British speedway, and is in no danger of being deposed. PS Good to hear Roy Clark is on the mend

  13. Total blockbuster of a meeting where both teams traded blow after blow....it was like something out of a rocky movie at times lol Some of the racing was brutal and not for the faint of hearts. After calming down (I'm a redcar fan) I saw heat 15 as charles tried to shut the door on stevie knowing he couldn't get to lawson and as somebody said maybe looked for the off.... It worked anyway and we got lucky and the ref seen it as Worrall at fault...could have gone either way. Charles sensational for the bears with danyon hume having a rock solid meeting at number two and jake mulford riding the wheels off his bike in every race....Danny King had a absolute shocker of a meeting with two heat wins, three lasts and a tapes exclusion. Erik clearly nowhere near fit and struggling. For Poole lawson was outstanding backed up by Worrall and Ben Cook. Zack Cook and Kyle Newman battling for every point.... Still don't know how we lost that... Superb speedway meeting tho !!!

  14. Dissapointing for sure, but something Swindon, Somerset, Newcastle & Eastbourne fans would be jealous of!

  15. Jorgensen was a poor signing at the start of the season, and he`s getting steadily worse. This wouldn't be tolerated at most other clubs.

  16. Nil point Nil money used to be a thing, not anymore, I think you will find most are on some sort of guarantee, especially the heat leaders, just a question of scale. The days of riders only getting paid fuel and start money if they score nothing are long gone.

  19. I stand by that comment, as a neutral the match result, even the "stupid heat" meant very little. Had there not been play-offs it would've been the most important heat of the season (so far). Now I'm sure Redcar & Poole fans cared about the result, myself find Berwick vs Oxford tonight more interesting. As for the racing anyone there of course would want to see a superb match.

  24. MT was given a huge chance before the beginning of the season and fooked it up by not delivering on his promises. Alex has unfortunately got a lot bigger concerns outside of speedway.To which is no ones concerns really.The problem with the invention of social media really is that everyone wants to know everyone's business.

  25. We are all aware that KL is Buster's baby, his one true love. You don't think that he would choose to invest more in the club that he cares about more? I can see why he don't want to spend his own "hard earned cash" on a Peterborough team where there is an all talk sponsor who hasn't really if we're being honest brought anything to the table after all the hype. It could be said that Buster has invested more into Peterborough this season already than he will at KL "it was me who did the deal with Nicki Pedersen to race at No.1, which unfortunately went wrong after one race".

  26. 100% this there's several more twists and turns to come in this Buster/MT saga that needs rectifying for the sake of the club. Neither have come out of this looking great for sure, however anybody who thinks Peterborough Panthers were worth anything without a rental agreement for more than one season are quite frankly mental. As for the second comment about replacing Jakobsen awaits Tungate for MPT now he's injured. I bet riders become available for King's Lynn all of a sudden

  32. Riss had gated and was leading heat 13 when it was pulled back for masters jumping the start. Nicholas with a flyer in the re run and got away with it. Oxford riders both moved in heat 14 and got away with it (got my program wrong as had hook in 3rd place also). Scott said he was disappointed along with Sam about missing a maximum as you like to get maximums especially away from home. He said the fuel cap he lost during the race had no bearing on the heat result.

  33. If you’re going to replace Lee, it has to be a clear upgrade. For all his inconsistency, he has a great rapport with the fans. There would be a lot of unhappy people if he was sent away and the replacement wasn’t clearly scoring better.

  34. I don't understand the anti-Batchelor comments, he has a 7+ average. So on this season's form he'd be an improvement for every Birmingham rider!

  35. That was poor all round from Bandits.Oxford lost their 3rd heat on the first bend and it was still not a last heat decider.Deary Me.Don’t think even the most ardent Bandits fan think Nichols and Masters would have been on the wrong end of a 5/1 if it had mattered.

  38. There's been a 3 camera set up at previous meetings not sure if for dvd/ end of season or whatever. Hoping that's in the editing and can see it later in the week. Really was a brilliant race, bombers made a habit of heat 13 coming from nowhere. Suppose as he's off gate 1 mostly and it's not the best at ashfield. Could've thrown a handkerchief over them at the end let alone a blanket. Superb riding from all 3

  39. Really need a free facepalm emoji here! lol I am only going what was put on his newsletter on his website. I assume he has to give permission to what goes on there if he isn't the one doing it? Interesting that it got edited off in the English version though, almost like someone thought they had to hide it. Again who wanted it edited idk. Doubt it was Erik or whoever manages his website as they put it on there in the first place. Wish I never went onto the Ipswich thread and saw the link now as then I would be in ignorance bliss or is blessed ignorance, whatever the saying is lol. Maybe his vision is only a little bit blurry idk but is a bit worrying anyone is allowed to ride like that imo.

  42. Kerr got 7 last time and Erik got 5 last night. So going on that Redcar would have won. However we don't know if he would have got the same again, although I would be surprised if he got less than 7 at Redcar. Nice when they apologise though as shows they care about the club and their fans. I bet Mike wishes the Plymouth riders would apologise!
