  2. Nice of Gusts to actually be making an appearance for Oxford. BSPA need to start taking a bit of control when approving signings imo, Oxford this season have taken the utter P. Knudsen and Gusts have missed more meetings than they’ve ridden. Need to start blocking signings when you can clearly see they’re going to miss so many fixtures it’s taking the mick out of the paying public.

  4. Great performance from Redcar tonight as expected it wasn’t to be easy especially with the guests in place so well done to them. Big thanks to Redcar Bears supporters for the great away support always good to see. There was some superb racing today not all in our favour but still good Speedway on show which is obviously the main ingredient to a good meeting! Onto next weekend away at Scunny and Plymouth

  5. Most comets fans support the team win lose or draw, if you see some good close racing and your team gets beat, you've enjoyed the speedway, then hope you win the next meeting. Roll on supporting the comets at Plymouth next Saturday, thankfully got family just outside Bristol, so a visit to family and speedway at Plymouth

  9. Excellent showing last night considering we were 14 points down at one point JJ and Kemp especially we brilliant. As for tonight I think it’ll be another close run things with two weakened teams, for Berwick it’ll come down to whether JJ takes to the track the same way he took to Ashfield last night as Glasgow could potentially be using Bomber and Howarth for 6 rides each which will prove difficult to overcome unless Drew Kemp has some able back up.

  10. Thing is... Yes, they're all good lads... yes, they all do their best..... but as a team, the quality just ain't there, we should at least be competitive at home. I didn't go tonight.. despondent... I ain't paying £25 to watch 15 heats expecting us to lose ...add to that, waiting 30-45 mins for the next meeting (which I'd probs only endure about 5 heats).. It's hard work being a Scorpions fan at the minute.

  12. Well worth the trip up... The racing wasn't "great" throughout but that was due to the Bears consistently getting out of the starts regardless of grid number... And the track being too dusty and slick for the first half of the meeting at least . Never seen a watering done after just heat two before, but it definitely needed it... It looks like a track that needs a good soaking given the camber is big...... The 2nd half of the meeting was much better and heat 13 was a cracker... But why no lap of honour? Where I was stood, on the home straight with the Redcar fans, (a good number there too), it literally killed the atmosphere generated by the great race.. Atmosphere, driven by tribal opposition, is what they sport desperately needs... Paco (one of the guests), wheeled around after his win in heat 14 so I presume some riders know what is needed... The food van ran out of chips, (a disaster it appeared for some), and I must admit, trying to protect my burger from dust was a challenge... The place itself is fantastically well laid out, with the viewing platforms all round the track providing a great view.... And there must be god knows how many artics worth of aggregate used to make the pathways!! The track is great, with my only slight criticism being the wide outside runs on bend two and four seem to make riders lock up a tad rather than letting the bike run like the NSS does. Are the exits narrower than the very wide entrances to the turns? Or was it just a lack of grip meant the outside line wasnt working as much as would be liked? The kids race attracted plenty, are kids in for free? There were plenty there... The centre green announcer is definitely one of the better ones I have seen... You can also hear what is being said around the stadium as the tannoy seems to work...!! And the signs from the town outskirts telling you that Speedway exists and, even more importantly, where it actually is, and when it runs, look professional... £20 a ticket? Value for money for me, I hope the crowd levels meet what is needed, it looked like around 700 to 800 tonight which I presume is better than break even? If you haven't been, definitely give it a go, great set up, and very good track..

  18. Never been to a meeting before where a heat got delayed due to one of its riders being locked in the toilet and unable to get out....... I won't embarrass him by naming him... (His initials are VF)...

  19. I forgot to give special mention to Hodder and Perry too. Hodder; not only for his win, but for pushing Kemp all the way in heat 7. Perry was so unlucky in heat 2, but that’s speedway. Those two young boys, as a result of our team building strategy, have found themselves with a little bit more expectation on their shoulders, but have handled it face on and given it their all.

  21. You’ve just proved my point with Gusts the authorities know this yet still sign off the signing. It’s taking the fans for a ride which is another of the problems in this country.

  25. Just looked at the forecast and it looks decent for today... Going to risk it even with Cumbria s "changeable" weather... Still might be tempted to stay over given I had a great night there a good many years ago after going to watch the Comets v The IOW, with Danny Bird riding superbly all evening... When I asked the landlord of the pub we were in what time he closed, his answer was "when everyone has finished drinking"... Which was around 4am if memory serves.... Taking my lad today though so maybe just coming back might be safer!.... With some the riders on view it should hopefully be a cracker on that track...

  28. He rode well tonight IMO.Kildemand was the let down for me.Couldn’t gate too save himself after his 1st race win.Berwick win might have been on the cards if he had. track looked slicker than normal for Ashfield,some decent racing as usual.

  30. Just a general thought. The racing at Ashfield has went downhill since Meredith has been involved. As the saying goes, if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. No need for him to be here. Racing has been great for years without him.

  35. Mountain, Harrison and Worrall to stay, the remainder to move on. Need a big hitter at number one , Douglas Klint, Pickering, Cook all go well at the EWR? Take away the large contingent of Edinburgh fans and the attendance would have been pretty poor. Its all over for this year, racing to the bottom for the wooden spoon. Every team has made positive changes apart from us, that says it all for this season. We started with a mediocre team and have ridden to that standard all season.

  37. Both the No.2's tonight were superb. Track was good too with lines for passing inside and out. I just wish Heat 13 had an extra lap as Howarth was looking so determined for that 2nd place.

  40. His interview on BSN spoke volumes. He seems a little shell shocked that he isn’t scoring better. Perhaps he thought every meeting would be like his Pirates debut. A lot of hype around him…in one sense justified…in others it’s still very early days. Time will tell. For what it’s worth, there’s another young man who I believe is a better prospect. Likes the colours orange and black and also tassels! 😉 At least the future of British speedway looks very bright with the two of them doing their thing.

  42. If Redcar manage to win this they will have done magnificently To have 2 riders not there whose replacements are much weaker and to be this close is huge Kerr and Starke doing well for Poole …. Lawson should be sacked for this performance

  43. Good move from Berwicks promotion. Even if Morris is pants it cant be any worse than having someone not turn up. Anyone any idea if Morris has had much practice since the ban ended?

  44. Tobias Thomsen for Klindt? You’d prefer RR with Nicholls, Barker, Joe T and Fredriksen/Bowtell surely? Guests make a mockery of this sport.
