Looking forward to my first (live attended) meeting in 2026 - id have thought a routine home win but will be interested to see how the Fixes reserves do as they were bested their counterparts in the Foxes home match!

It's days like this I miss Lagutaracingfan or whatever he was called - whatever happened to they/them/him 🙃

Largely agree with Baldyman here - it’s not often I am surprised by some speedway news but this really is a big one! Didn’t see that coming at all.

Most people that are late to Football matches is because they leave the pub with just five minutes to KO!! Agree its really scraping the barrel of finding something to moan about - I think every speedway match i have attended has had a parade of the riders first unless the prospect of rain has mean't it's been cancelled. Nowadays football matches often end until just before 5pm - in the old days they were done and dusted by 4.45 with perhaps no more than 1-2 minutes extra.

I would imagine this is actually the refs call not the CEO of the premiership. The referee on arrival is (i believe) responsible for the control and running of the meeting are they not?

the Grandstand holds about 700? so if thats full thats a decent start at estimating. Agree tho once step towards better professionalisation would be publishing attendances. Can't see it ever happening.

Congrats to the Foxes - i do hope to make it there myself. For this season they need to focus on winning at home to keep these decent crowds interested.

I am old enough to remember a promoter in the late 80s or maybe very eary 90s who threatened to pull the plug cos his proopsed team was 'just' over the points limit!

Nothing is hidden - perhaps its hiding in plain sight!!

try persons with significant control!!! its not difficult to find! Thus far the company has one share which is held by Mark Lemon!

was you the rabbit or the Leprechaun?

I pondered this and the lack of enthusiasm from the riders to at least give it a go whilst driving back! in the ‘good old days’ riders didn’t have lucrative contacts in other countries so much or a GP series to ride in - maybe those at the top have just got a bit too comfy to risk it if conditions are not exactly to their liking. I personally felt the track looked rideable but I am comparing it to tracks of 20/30 years ago and of course the bikes were different back then - still a bit miffed no one came out to test the track! edit - at no point did I hear the bikes being warmed up either!!!

Clearly the Aces are not the draw they think they are on a damp night in zuffolk!

Sadly you are correct!

To be fair Lemon is hardly likely to say - well actually fellas we just don’t fancy it tonight! the track for me looks ok they are scraping off the inside line sludge so let’s see what happens At least I have a nice big screen to watch!

Well enough here but down on usual - with it being on BSN and in view of the weather I expect many decided to stay home!

Simon Humphrey-Kennett - me neither!!!

Annoying as a perfectly sunny drive up the only damn clouds are over Foxhall! Says it should stop soon!

I am about 15 miles south of Ipswich and it’s a nice bright evening now sunshine out etc so it’s probably fair to say the meeting will definitely start! Radar suggests slight chance of rain later but again IMO not enough to stop the meeting!

Hopefully this will go ahead - its overcast and some rain is forecast but not enough to cause a postponement IMO!

Given the Aces away win last nibght this could be a tricky match - my first 'live' of the season (I hope) - Kurtz if he gates will be tough to beat. Key battle at reserves - hopefully a close home win

Nicholls has been fine this season so far - he's had one 'dud' at the NSS which I reckon we all thought might be the case - his 1pt at Foxhall doesnt really do justice to his meeting. a tapes penalty and exlusion and losing out whilst protecting Jenkins.'

Pretty routine win for the Witches there - Fricke finally got going and when he did the Stars fortunes improved. Impressed by Rushden! Both Lawson and Brenna had good meetings, at one point felt Lawson was going to get the full 15 but he left a gap for Fricke. Tobi started well would and maybe should have got 10 - but again like Lawson left a gap for Fricke! Not the best racing but for an afternoon meeting there was some passing. Once the stream worked it was very good - however I found the log in in process very convulted and slow - possibly due to the numbers trying to get online etc, that needs sorting out! It seems few gave up. One thing I will say is this streams camera work and production is better than he previous TV service we had to ensure!

Sadly for you its been fne for me - i seem to have got in and all is working fine, Museilak very impressive so far!

its finally working for me! the start is delayed anyway so lucky i havent missed anything - now its working the picture quality seems good
