I wonder if batch would have been pulling wheelies at the back if Stewart Dickson had been present ??? and if so what Stewart’s reaction have been when he returned to the pits. Both Batch and Craig cook need to decide if they want to continue riding speedway then they either give it everything or give up. This half hearted efforts do them or the promotions no good at all.

I’d rather see a youngster trailing round last and giving it go than him taking my hard earned money for just turning up when he feels like it.

Congratulations to Glasgow on their win. Just like the CLRC at Redcar a few days ago its sad to see riders either pulling out or just not wanting to race in the first place, you would think that riders would do everything possible to represent their club and the fans of that club who support them through the season. Alas it appears not. As for the antics from Troy Batchelor, I`m surprised anyone is surprised anymore.

Personally think Phil does a good job, otherwise you would be there all night with the riders and mechanics antics with bikes anytime there is re run.

Kelvin Tatum would give paracetamol a headache. No doubt about that.

How cheap did them trophies look also fireworks very poor this year

A mention to the track staff and organisation because they were under the pump after last years shambles (rightly so) and they produced a very good track tonight.

Wasn't long ago Louis was praising Buster & all the criticism was unjustified. How things change when it effects you hey

Wow just caught up on here! Well done Glasgow, clearly the best pair on the night.

PLEASE TAKE TIME OUT TO COMMENT/OBJECT TO AEPGs PLANNING APPLICATION TO MAKE PETERBOROUGH PANTHERS EXTINCT To do this go to the councils planning portal here: https://planpa.peterborough.gov.uk/online-applications//search.do?action=simple&searchType=Application Planning simple search ‘Showground’ You will see the two applications references are: 23/00400/OUT and 23/00412OUT click on either or both Click on documents Click on associated documents You will then see the comments/objections that have been already left there are 25 to a page. Go down the different page numbers to eventually find the planning application detail. To make a comment/objection go back to the page where the associated documents link was and click the comments link. Leave your comments/objections and press submit. Anyone anywhere in the world can comment/object. PLEASE TAKE TIMEOUT TO DO THIS WE NEED PETERBOROUGH CITY COUNCIL TO UNDERSTAND THE STRENGTH OF OPPOSITION TO KILLING OUR CLUB. DO IT!!!!

AEPG are getting pelters on their Facebook page. Feel free to join in, anyone.

Wow the trophies were pretty embarrassing just a bit of plastic

I see no expense spared on the throphies for the meeting, the supposed premier GP! Had better trophies at the national kids BMX meetings in the late 80's.

Lindgren went to sleep there. Well done Vaculik.

Anyone know if Bartek can still quailify for the semi? I am still trying to work out if 8 points beats 7, and will it need s count back..

Imagine them as the new Duckworth Lewis...

Is there any way someone can keep Kelvin and Chris inforned on who is through and who isn't? It would be awfully helpful.

I think it's to keep the number of stewards required to a minimum.

I can’t stand Lindgren, consistently just clears other riders out, there’s hard racing and then there’s that.

Seriously what did people expect with the crowd numbers after last years debacle and other factors? Stop whinging and let’s hope it’s a good meeting, the crowd will be back if that happens.

I am reliably informed that the comments on the AEPG Facebook page and the PCC planning applications website are causing problems for the company as pretty much all the comments are objections to the application. A few are thinking the Facebook page will shortly be removed due to the flak they are currently getting so any help from other supporters will be greatly appreciated, it’s important because a lot is going on behind the scenes and it’s in no way a foregone conclusion that this application will be approved and even if it is it will take quite a few years to get off the ground. Please mention in any comments the 53 year history and heritage of Peterborough Speedway and the fact that this planning application fails the PCC local plans LP30 and LP36. PCC LP30 refers to the fact that the loss of any existing leisure and sports facilities will not be supported unless replacement facilities are provided in accordance with policy LP30. PCC LP36 refers to the fact that no plans will be approved for more than 650 dwellings on the Showground, AEPG current plans are for 1500 dwellings. The aim is to continue at the Showground which will give the club time to relocate if necessary without any break in speedway, at the moment AEPG won’t even agree to a meeting or talk about the likelihood at all past 2023.

If I was the Birmingham owner I'd have sacked him on the spot. Stuff the league position, he was totally out of order.

Great pairing, that!

Well done to Glasgow great effort from both riders,Harris superb Team riding but credit too Basso who was very brave and fearless when it mattered.Do all Aussies whinge all the time.

U21 World title about 2005. Some Czech rider who rode for Redcar & Poole lost the ballot I think. Tomas Suchanek... rings a bell. Was hopeless on these shores. Just got home, enjoyed the racing later on. Peterborough err Glasgow deserved to win. Only pair that rude as a team all night Wright was very good but he left King in the final chasing the win after they were both well in front of Harris King refused to move off the white line all night. Batchelor didn't try, Lawson didn't in his first two rides. Howarth was poor.

Exactly. The coin toss simply decided which team was in which semi as they were tied in pretty much every way. Pretty simple stuff. A certain person is acting like it decided the outcome of the meeting.

I'm afraid that is not Ianb's MO. First of all it was Chris Harris daring to have ambition to be a World Champion, whilst being the Captain of Leicester. Then it was Tyre changes. And now Coin Toss. You haven't heard the last of it, believe me!

People aren’t getting stressed, 1 person is. Can’t please everyone.

If the teams rode against each other then the winners of that heat would go through (which is fairer than a coin toss?) Redcar and Oxford didn’t race again each other so it was a coin toss. Seems fair enough to me.

No! No! Don't use facts in a discussion...

Gave us a giggle! Questions from my youngest tonight included, "Why does he always look so mad?" and "Why does he do that run where he doesn't actually go any quicker?"

The Los Angeles Business directory. Fred Schunk was employee of Al Crocker 1936 yellow pages. Beerup, Schunk, Crocker and Clymer

Belle Vue bent the rules last year so Sheffield can do the same

He’s a creep

Cracking race... Excellent meeting...

Bloody Zmarzlik again. Why did Lambert pick gate 2?

It is now.

It's my particular bugbear, but after the cricket plug earlier I can't bring myself to have a pop!

What a shame for Woffinden he was going well tonight

A win, win...

Those quotes are from Hawkins, not Louis. And Hawkins is right by the way!

No.... Just You

I don’t know why people are getting stressed about a coin toss. It’s not just a speedway thing! It’s literally done in almost every other sport. In fact, it’s the 8th option (eighth, not 800th) for deciding a tiebreaker in the groups of the FIFA World Cup. The biggest sporting competition in the world.

Best pair won , excellent from bomber in the 2 main races, intelligent riding,

Fantastic win, well deserved. Beat Poole, Oxford and Redcar five times from five heats. Redcar well worthy of second, Lewis Kerr was brilliant most of the night for Oxford too. Batch needs dispatched.

Outstanding win for Glasgow. I’ve never witnessed them win a trophy (I started at Coatbridge in 1975!) so thank you BSN. And the celebrations showed how much it means to everyone at the club. Getting the best of Charles Wright and Danny King twice was no mean feat, and the way in which they rode showed what pairs is all about.

When the 65 season started I foloowed avidly every match report in the Star. I recall Long Eaton starting off the season very well e.g. as you say beating Halifax at Halifax, I think they had another upset away win early on (Edinburgh perhaps?) and at that point looked like contenders-then they had a truly dreadful run of injuries- Wilson, also maybe Cresp and finished at the bottom of the league (I think). As we all say -great days and 1965 was a superb season- I even used to hitch hike to get to away tracks-not sure you can do that safely nowadays -or am I just speaking from my more timid old (Hold on -mature) age!!!

Looks like lewy and Mike0310 could be the pairing for the Devils at this rate. .

This looks too easy for Ipswich, and that's the sort of meeting they often lose
