Errr - you might find that Rob rides for Edinburgh!!

Not sure why Greenwood hasn't clicked yet this season. Last season he was in great form before he bust his collar bone. His maximum was testament to that. Also saw him score very well at Rye House for Panthers last season. Bit unfair to consider ditching him already.

I think the point is that the track has been poor all season until tonight. It's not back to its best yet but tonight was a big improvement.

Tractor was out grading every 2 heats. Seemed to me there were more lines available than any other meeting at the showground this year - all down to a bit extra dirt. Definitely better to watch than what I see at Ippo, though I haven't been to Ippo this year yet.

There hasn't been much grip at the Showground this year!!

Is that not a previous rule from a few years ago?

I see Garrity guests for Panthers instead of Robert Lambert. I'm glad I'm not able to go!! And r/r for Olly is a bummer.

Thanks Gazc.

Serious question - how much of the spectating area is under cover? (Not a trick question and no ulterior motive - just interested to know.)

Given that all the dirt was that far out at the time I think he was always going to struggle to turn the bike and was going to need a Rickardsson Cardiff Wall of Death ride to get around the bouncy bags.

Greater good is fine but only up to a point. And the $64,000 question is - where is that point? Rider safety? Crowd inconvenience? PR? Money? PS I don't know the answer!!

Could well have led to bans or at least threats of bans.

Cookie's comment actually was "....... the paying public must be delighted with the entertainment".

Lot of anti-Monarchs propaganda going on. Folk must be getting worried about the strength of our guys this season. 6 points down with the Cookie/Smiling Sam pair due out in 2 of the last 4. We would have been happy with that against apparently the strongest team in the league. And with the home leg to come.

Match abandoned after 11 heats!! Should just wait till summer!! Rain's warmer then.

So Eric might be able to get round the Dale? That would be good.

Len's programme notes from last week commented that the new recruits would bring a professionalism that had been lacking recently. I assumed this might have referred to Garrity & Bunyan.

Absolutely not. Ask Rye fans about his attitude.

Not garrity - No no no.

What was the situation with the water truck last night? Saw some adverse comments on twitter.

Probably for the best. Hope Shads didn't act on the 2:02pm post!!

Are they exactly the same? - https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/3740160_1426551566.257.jpg I thought on the intros on Sunday they looked like new ones but can'y be certain from the pic you posted. Or maybe the new ones have now been made for Adam and somebody has to pay for them? Anyway I don't really care.

James Capes shared Somerset Rebels Offical Page's post. 13 hrs Just incase anyone was wondering how benji was Somerset Rebels Offical Page Good news has come through regarding Benji Compton who was taken to hospital after a heat 4 spill in today's match at Peterborough. Benji has been released from hospital relatively unscathed, albeit feeling very 'second-hand', and is hoping to be able to ride for the Rebels in Friday's home match against Poole. Very good news.

Crash noun 1. a violent collision, typically of one vehicle with another or with an object. There was no violent collision - might have been a smallish tap. But enough for Chas to come off while Allen sailed off into the sunshine. But Chas was up and waiting to confront him when he came round!!

Allen didn't have a crash - he just caused Chas Wright to fall and so was disqualified.
