Possibly, but they were right to be incensed. Totally Ivacic's fault. Bomber shouldn't have been allowed back in heat one either.

Do you ever think before you post?

You've changed your tune.

His throttle cable snapped, hardly his fault.

Great result for the Lions just about keeps us in the hunt for the play offs. Thought the crowd was not too bad either. I wouldn't worry too much Witches fans it was just an off night and Emil seems to be hitting top form again from what I saw last night. Once again I was very impressed Keynan Rew, still trying to figure out why his average is so low because everytime he comes to Leicester he seems to ride the track really well. Much better from Luke Becker as well, he looked on the pace and hopefully this is the turning point for him. What about heat 13 aye? That was some race and I haven't seen a race like that at Leicester this season, just shows if you attack the track at Leicested it can produce some really good racing. Just simply sensational stuff.

I saw it differently as Mountain went for a gap that didn’t exist, Bomber in heat 1 was first bend bunching and was always going to be all 4 back. only my view off things.

I drove from Newcastle to Luton airport last Friday, it took 7 hours with all the constant roadworks on the M1 and the traffic wasn’t even that bad, but going north was worse. Edinburgh is a further 3 hours away. She would have not got there for 7pm, more like 9 or 10 in reality.

Of course Tobias' engine failure' could have been a good tactical instruction!!?

hasn't he just let one go to Birmingham?

Sam McGurk is so far out of his depth, every away meeting I’ve been to he either falls off or can’t turn the bike

The Edinburgh management should make an official complaint about Cook. Inciting fans to not turn up. Totally out of order.

Considering that British speedway is hugely reliant on the weather having three empty Fridays during July is not good.

Are you joking? Do you know how long that takes lol. You have to go back down to London to make your way back north, stadium would be empty by the time she arrived

Edinburgh struggling for a crowd this year and then put this on. Desperately seeking points. Home club should have said no go as visiting team are uncompetitive. Everyone should ignore monarchs bleating about poor crowds.

U wouldnt have saturdays looto numbers have u as u can predict the future,thousands of people have had there day ruined 2 missing riders is the least of the problems.

First and foremost, Oxford Stadium is a greyhound stadium. The owner is quite happy to allow speedway on site. Often, as on Thursday there is greyhound racing during the day and I suspect the track curator was unable to to water and grade consistently throughout the day. Yes the delays at the start of the meeting were frustrating but it still finished at 21.25 hours precisely. Will Oxford speedway lose custom as a result of Thursday's meeting? Absolutely not. We had 2 track records and some fantastic racing with multiple passing and re-passing. Just look at the Speedway Updates proboards to check that out - gate and go it was not. Despite many people stating that Oxford were set up to fail with 3 teams, that was never going to happen because we are delighted to have regular speeday each week. One final point, the promotion have been brilliant since the re-opening. So, onwards and upwards.

Can also look at it as poor preparation from Vissing and Liebmann who I’m sure neither were riding anywhere yesterday who could’ve flown in then ahead of tonight’s match then.

If this is his attitude going into the match I would doubt there`ll be and good racing between Cook and anyone else. It will be interesting to see his score and performance, especially as Workington captain, surely he should lead by example.

If that's really him, he needs a fine for that "bringing the sport into disrepute". Not right to tell fans not to spend their money. Why not encourage fans to go along & enjoy a good match, could still be some good racing between Cook & the top Monarchs, also when the Academy lads meet each other.

Regardless how many’s there tonight, he’ll still be getting paid.

Well does he realise if no one goes, he ain't getting paid!

Cookie playing a true captains role again!

Why should Edinburgh have to call the match off? Ipswich didn't get a match cancelled when Doyle was missing, neither did Oxford without Tungate. What about fans who may have swapped around work shifts, or possibly booked hotels of travelling from Workington? Then there the Monarchs riders who flew over yesterday, who cover the cost of that flight if the meeting is cancelled & they have to race again?

All valid comments, and what goes on behind the scenes is something we will never appreciate, however.. The continental tracks alluded to, are often wide and much less tighter than some UK tracks built within the confines of a greyhound track, hence when "grippy" these tracks are not seen by many riders as something they want to take on... Bomber is Bomber, and Bewley is an ex MX rider so both ride conditions that are "deep" with supreme confidence... You kind of get why riders who get extremely well paid in Poland may decide to "play it safe" when conditions over here are not quite to their liking... An injury over here will cost them a lot of Polish money...

Love the celebration from tobi.

When I got home I looked at proboards thinking what a great meeting it was. I was left thinking whoever sent in the race reports may have been watching a different meeting to me.

Must admit, it doesn’t sit right with me when people make hay due to the misfortune of others. That’s across the board and not just speedway. That undercurrent of glee when a team is hit by injury as opposing fans see their chances of success increase is abhorrent to me, old fashioned I know and very much in the minority on here. The “Tai” rule (apparently) needs to be in place to do what it was set out to do - stop unscrupulous clubs signing ringers for the play offs - but it should NOT impact clubs with genuine long term injury woes. I’d much rather come up against the Witches or Tigers with Bartoz as a full team member than the current preferred system of guests, guests, guests, especially at the time of year when the media takes a greater interest in the sport.

Unfortunately im back down to manchester early or id have stuck around. Really great to see jack smith doing well round ashfield!

Having been in the stadium since 5:30 Jamie Courtney (Promoter and track man) had been working on the track the whole time. If he watered to much it would be wrong no water at all and it would be a dust bowl that would have been wrong. I notice it hasn’t been mentioned that before heat 15 Jamie got on the mic to apologise for the issues with the track - how many do that? It was obvious that there were two Belle Vue riders who didn’t want to race the track, to have two new track records set in the same (one Oxford and one Belle Vue) meeting on such a dangerous and unridable track. Also if it was so bad why was it signed off as fit by the SCB ref in the first place? Most riders should be able to attack a track should it be grippy or smooth, but this generation seem to expect a nice smooth car park to ride on. Do you think this happens in other countries the complainants would have been told to take a walk.

All I saw was some excellent racing from both sets of riders. Heat 13 was a right belter.

Amazing how many people confuse a bad track with a badly-prepared track. There’s a world of difference, and this was very much the latter.

The seagulls ate it.

Job done, came for the bonus point and got it. Move on to the next one, hopefully Batch and Sam aren't too bad after their falls and get Tate's replacement in. Keyboard warriors can get back in their parent's spare bedrooms now. Funny how some not only think there's a bottomless pit of rider's available, but that Celina could have easily got to Edinburgh from Luton!!

Why was Pearson not in 9 for ivacic? Now he's going to need to take 4 rides!! TM strikes again!!

Not if he's injured.

Tbh it would really help both clubs if fans went to watch the "other" team when their team wasn't racing at home.

Isn't that a movie starring David Bowie?

They all do but Lublin seem quiet today

I know there's contractual commitments involved but wouldn't bsn be better jumping ship to Glasgow or Redcar given the fact this is going to be a demolition now? Yes I know the guys will probs have been setting up before this was all known but can't see many buying that stream!

This is a league match, not the Jubilee Final

Pearson at reserve could be useful

Tomorrow`s 2 matches at 5pm UK time and 7.30pm UK time http://kergel.ucoz.lv/index/live_stream_2/0-12

Mate, pull your dress up! That ain't rude... if you want rude head over to the Scunthorpe and Workington sections!!

How did you get a picture of my Musielak doll?

Glad you’ve done it. I did, but quickly deleted I’m 50/50 on this now. I totally understand where you’re coming from and I was of the same opinion as you a few weeks ago. I believe I said as much on here. But after hearing a little more I’ve changed my mind a bit. Forget all the local rivalry stuff I’m too long in the tooth for all that, I genuinely feel sorry for the loyal Lynn fans you’re all the innocent parties here, but your club is being run appallingly. Sheffield might not be giving up as easily as Ipswich. Let’s see what happens.

What all 5 of them.

Talked to few supporters whose enthusiasm is starting to wain unfortunately.This stop and start fixture list fiasco need sorted out for next season.Some are calling it a Mid Term break whenever did that used to happen in the middle of the season.

He'll fit right in at Glasgow then, we barely have a meeting from one week to the next. Its becoming ever harder to maintain enthusiasm for a sport thats become so infrequent and dragged out over 6 months when it could be done in 3 - 4 including rain offs and play offs.

There wasn't any ‘ guests ‘ ! and there actually wasn't as Hutt is an Oxford lad and Mudgway was a Redcar Cub when he started and a Bear when he finished, but….. any comments on the quality of the meeting ? rather than technical points gathering .
