racers and royals

Sorry - just saw Alan Mogridge and a list of tracks and the red mist discended

He definitively rode for Berwick- because his 1st home meeting was against Reading and his exhaust fell off during a race and the ref was blind and deaf - and a certain Mr Waite smuggled it back to the pits under his Jacket- the cheating git- hope it burned him !!! The Clerk of the course wasn`t watching of course - he was at the tea bar chatting with his mates !!! After all these years am i angry- you bet i am Wouldn`t be surprised if a certain Dick Barrie wasn`t involved in it somewhere

Table after last night- all ridden 8 matches(halfway stage) 1 Smederna 14 points 2 Dackarna 11 3 Vastervik 10 4 Lejonen 10 5 Vetlanda 10 6 Rospiggarna 6 7 Masarna 5 8 Indianerna 5 9 Piraterna 1

Deliberately left Rosspiggarna v Piraterna to watch last as i knew the racing would be rubbish !!(leave the inside and you are history !) and the video matched it !! 2 surprise RR`s in the match- Nilsson for the Hallstavik team and Kildemand for the Motala visitors- i`m sure that was not apparent before the start. Attendance was 1403 and i`m sure they were as bored as me watching it. Lahti top scored with 14 from 6 for Rospiggarna and there were 3 big scorers for the visitors - Jamrog 14+1 from 7, Seifert-Salk 13+3 from 7 and Fajfer 13+1 from 6.

Are there live updates for the semi`s does anyone know ?- DGT ?

Fantastic racing in Kumla in front of 1225 spectators. Indianerna will be kicking themselves that they didn`t win but Masarna kept battling away for the deserved draw. Zengota and Fricke got double figures for the home team with Bellego leading the way for the Avesta team with 12, backed up by the Pawlicki brothers. Prem 11+1 and Piotr 10+1.

Is that Eurosport and Eurosport ?

Yes drop Woffinden or Bewley and put him in

Watched Vetlanda v Lejonen and Smederna v Vastervik live- switching between the 2 and apart from a couple of decent races in each match i found it a bit of a bore !! 1564 were at Eskilstuna and 1182 in Vetlanda.

Bet 365 are pretty sure they all ride.

Daugavpils v Wittstock Friday July 16th https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8JPG9eeHUQ Daugavpils v Rzeszow Sunday July 18th https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZweyDqWx6g

It`s not the ref who does it though- it`s probably the announcer or someone else who sits with the ref.

Not sure any confirmed line-ups more than 1 hour before the start are any good- Svemo`s is fine if they could sort out the computer programme. 30 mins minimum before the start is acceptable in my view. Edit Poland Extraleague is good- 1 hour before the start- sometimes earlier. Div 1 and 2 are extremely poor - sometimes only 15 mins before start time !!!!

I have spoken to SVEMO about the problem and they accept it should be better- however they need to modify the computer programme so that when the referee gives the confirmed line-ups to the person who enters them(around 5.30pm UK time) he can put the RR against the 4 rides the rider is programmed for- some do say in the comments if it`s RR but some don`t like Tuesday.

On Tuesday the official SVEMO confirmed line-up and updates page for Dackarna v Smederna didn`t mention anything about RR for Thorssell until after the match had started- just as well Ghostie had let us know well in advance.

Nothing on either of the clubs social media yet(as one would expect) maybe tomorrow ?
