barking at the moon that one!

Well having been to both places - i seriously think tonights Crowd at Foxhall was 3k+ maybe even 4, decent weather school holidays etc but it brought them out. Despite the usual FTG and other mutterings from people who were NOT there the crowd loved it - several standing ovations after races etc - and we got to see 4 genuine top line riders in heat 13! I was happy!

Crowd was bigger than owt you have had this season trust me 😘

agreed back straight grandstand was IMHO 2/3rds to 3/4 full - i reckon 3k+ biggest gate that ive seen at Foxhall this season.

Given I was there I can tell you that the updates got heat 9 wrong - it said FTG - the reality was Brennan clamped Bewley on the inside on 1st / 2nd bend whilst King roared round the outside for the 5-1 - great riding and the crowd sure liked it 😉

I think they are fishing bud🤪 Adam made Bewley look ordinary there on heat 15 great pass

It just means ya lost / majority of the 3k here seem happy with tonight 😉

Heat 13 was pretty awesome - Emil sublime there - made both Dan and Kurtz look pretty ordinary!

big crowd in tonight - good to see

in the interestes of speedway lets just put Kings Lynn into 4th spot at the expense of whoever is in fourth spot 😅

so a walk or not a walk is +4 points 😆 Lets see anyway, I look forward to it anyway nice weather and hopefully seeing 4 of the very best in the world ride!

Take heart Aces fans, Kurtz can beat the best at Foxhall IF he gates, Zac Cook had a blistering meeting when riding for Wolves the other year so it can be done. I think the Witches will win but it won't be a walk in the park. I think something like 50-40 - looking forward to it anyway and plan to be there.

Never been on my radar but i saw him in the meeting at Foxhall on the BSN last week and I did think he looked a prospect!

Well enjoyable meeting for in some ways - the racing was fairly close in a few heats and there was one or two really good overtaking moves, heat 5 in particular was very good. Aces fell away due to lack of support for the top 3 - Blodorn having a mare right now! Flint and Rowe certainly make the Tigers really strong at home as they back up the heatleaders so well, Morris seems to have picked up well after his layoff also.

Great race that one!

Think this could be close, but expect the Tigers to squeeze home.

Glorious here in the Steel City as always - enjoy your trip!

Birmingham need to win, suspect Lynn will just squeeze home.

I think maybe your make a good point about the age thing, being a senior statesman so to speak comes with a few responsilbilites, plus the desire to pass knowledge on. My tigers mate who attends every week - (and me) noticed how good Tai was with the younger lads, his team riding efforts were really good!

Interested to hear Emil say on the track walk that the straights are very short at Foxhall - the track has been chnaged a fair bit over the years since i first went there in 1988.

It caught Dolyley out a few weeks ago one heat we was leading very comfortably - hit that bit and his lead almost vanished!

I watched the stream on BSN and admit to enjoying it - the track caused issues no doubt but there was also one or two really good races with some great overtaking moves. I shall, weather permitting, be at Foxhall next week for the visit of erm who is it again😉 Ellis had a good meeting great overtake in heat 15 too! Well done to the Cheetahs for giving it a go - got away from then after heat 8.

nasty subject but i knew someone who had alerted the authorities about old Rolf long before it came out what the dirty old sod had been up to! anyway back to the speedway.

it would but by logic extension the home top rider would also have an advantage in a single winner takes all etc lets put it this way Belle Vue reserves might have struggled the other night! yes I did used to like / enjoy those one lap dashes

I tell you what I would like to see in say a cup final rather than asuper heat etc - would be a 1-7 ride off against each opposite number - so an extra 7 races with the result being award as 1-0 per race - rather than just a sudden one race winner takes all that way its a fairer representation of the teams, perhaps even just do 1 lap like the old one lap dashes from the late 80s they had in the 2nd halves! ok you can all say its a cr@p idea now!
