Stroll in the park for weegies. Really. Cheers Gazc.

My gripe is triple sided. (Not sure how that works though!!) Firstly the sheer number of guests. Secondly that some riders seem to be absent as often as they turn up. Thirdly that guests very often are of a higher standard at a particular venue than the missing rider. To be honest the whole way speedway is careering down the abyss has just jarred me off with the sport. Maybe there will be a revolution next year. Maybe not. Will anyone be left to care by then? Maybe not. So Doolan will score more than Bach would have - am I now bovvered? Nah. Did Palm Toft score a fraction of what Erik would have scored at Plymouth last week? Nah.

And so the guest farces continue. No wonder folks are abandoning the sport in droves.

I've always rated UPS as well!!

Tough luck for the guy. It was a crazy manoeuvre by Holub.

One of Cookie duff not performing very well in certain conditions Ashtecs hopefully!!

That adds a lot!!

Martin Knuckey misses out - but then again he is out for the rest of the season with a broken leg. Next................?

Great to see Mitchell Davey has got an NL place with Coventry Storm. Should give the moaners something to moan about re Monarchs / Aussies / Coventry / UK Government / the weather / BSPA / PL / NL etc. Hope he has a great, safe season.

Bloomin heck - that is just plain ridiculous. I couldn't have made it anyway tomorrow.

He did.

White Witches or Black Witches? Or can not mention colours of Witches in this day and age?

Fair enough but in the best interests of PR maybe this should have been announced? Or maybe it was - I wasn't there. Riders ride with all sorts of injuries and often way way below fitness. A lot of meetings doesn't necessarily mean he's over the accident physically and mentally. It was an horrendous crash if you remember. And he's certainly not always been a rubbish rider. Certainly not a smooth stylist but not rubbish. I can't stand the bloke but respect his achievements.

When you said "due to lack of investment" I assumed you had a figure. When you said "due to lack of investment" I assumed you had a figure.

Maybe barker's broken back last year is having an effect.?

How much has the Fish spent on his kit Lewy? I must have missed it.

Jeez 5 x 5-1s in the first 8 heats. Even we did better than that!

Realistic. Devils are very strong now and we have 3 weak uns at the moment - maybe 4 if Toft doesn't step up. Realistic. Devils are very strong now and we have 3 weak uns at the moment - maybe 4 if Toft doesn't step up.

Stroll in the park for Plymouth.

No big yellow ball near me. Is it an Andy Murray lob?

Quite fancy the thought of revival gas.

Wouldn't be a shock for Edinburgh to lose.

Safe bet for a Plymouth win with Pavlova in at reserve. Not particularly related to this match but I find the concept of bringing in a guest that is stronger than the missing rider is totally skewed. If you are missing a rider you should be weaker not stronger.

Good man Shads. Will try to meet up next time I'm over.

Macca don't say you have abandoned going to fox holes just like the baldy one? I only went on holiday for a week and everyone seems to have quit. Mind you fixtures seem to be in short supply and rationed. However I will pop over to Rye for a catch up one day.
