No he's out for the weekend matches.

Neat or do you add orange juice?

What's going on in this world?

Awww how sweet. You trying the guilt trip?

Totally agree taps. R/r will probably slow down the next one though.

Roses are English. Has to be a thistle. But I'll pass just now thanks. Nearly eaten all the Wagon Wheels now too!!

Why are some Ippo fans so prickly (and Pbro ones too)? is it a local thing?

They only moan at Fox Holes.

"Proper start time Nige."

What do you call start?

Need to get Vatcher to make a ruling on what the "start time" relates to.

Football - a 3 o'clock kick off is at... 3 o'clock. By 7.43 at a speedway meeting we should be on the 3rd race.

One good thing about the showground - they start the racing at the advertised time.

You mean you've got sound? Result! Can't expect sound and light though. Hope all the stadium marshalls are visible and doing their job.

You didn't think 7.30pm was half past seven did you? Racing never starts before quarter to eight.

Hate double headers. Should never be allowed under any circumstances.

I know - but you pay to watch Worky!!

Yep should be packed to the rafters after a long delay since the last team match. Though maybe a lot will leave at half-time rather than put up with having to watch Ippo.

But only £26 if bought in advance. £16 a match at the fox holes. And more entertainment than most places - the return of the Messiah in the first one for instance.

I think there is a difference between losing interest in the sport and losing interest in going to watch the sport. I am still interested in the former and will happily partake in the BSF and speedway related Facebook threads and other online sources. I have very much lost interest in the latter largely due to the shambolic state of fixture planning (1 week on / 3 weeks off seems to be a norm but it could be 3 matches on in 1 week and then 5 weeks off), but compounded by the actions of many of the managers/promotors of the venues nearest to me. (And the actions of Bustit Chapman of course.) So I've gone from a season ticket holder at a venue 80 miles away 2 seasons ago, to a regular attendee (and BSF Massif original member) last season, to now being a keyboard whinger who might put in an occasional appearance if my own team is visiting or if I think there's a possibility of a close meeting on a decent track (unlikely) between teams not riddled with guests or r/rs (even more unlikely). But I'll still follow the Updates heat by heat, match by match, so my interest in the sport hasn't gone. Could I be tempted back to a stadium? Yes maybe. But an awful lot will have to change about the way the sport is run.

Just stick them on Ignore and stop Liking your own posts!!

Good isn't it!! I wonder if anyone would believe I'm a Weegies, Ippo or Panties fan? Or all 3?

Yep - like a kipper!! And just noticed he got a like too - so that's 2 kippers!! Yay! Bring back the knitters I say.

That's horrendous. Bl**dy kids running riot everywhere. It's meant to be a sport for oldtimers to watch in peace.

He's a long way from being a superstar.
