That’s great news & a huge relief.

Well I looked and found one straight- a -way.

Try an internet search for a translation from Gobbledygook to English.

For those that don't have a tv package that gives access to any speedway the Discovery + deal is quite good IMO. Currently it's a rolling one month contract at £6.95 so it can be cancelled at any time . If purchased for the duration of the speedway season it would cost approx £50, as cheap as attending a couple of meetings . The app is readily available , most Samsung tv's up to 8yrs of age have it installed I believe plus several other devices ,alternatively a streaming stick can be used.For that price all the GP's, SON etc are covered as are all the british speedway meetings provided on Eurosport. Also there is much more than the speedway to watch on the app for those that don't have paid for tv packages. I do have a tv package myself but have decided to subscribe to Discovery as I hate the unreliability of the Eurosport Channel when it comes to showing the speedway, although I can see where Discovery are going by only showing the SON on the app, presently it's a cheap watch.It will be interesting to see what happens to the costs when Eurosport disappears in the none too distant future

No Problem We just need to decide between the Euro's & Speedway semi finals now for our live viewing.

It's definitely listed on the Discovery + schedules. 9th Semi final 1 10th Semi final 2 12th U21's 13th SON final All starting at 19.50hrs Not sure about Eurosport though.

I always call their outlets Costa Fortune!

They're not called Costa without good reason.

He's a bit of a miracle man is Carlos , he even managed to recover from being out of today's race to finishing on the rostrum. Not many can claim that

More likely they need someone with the intelligence to string a sentence together writing the statements in the first place.

Very likely he's still got a strop on after the 2 point deduction for his flouting of the rules.

I seem to recall that semi final was at Monmore Green.. Coventry requested a postponement , & stated what they considered justifiable reasons why they felt that should happen. The reply was quite simply" you turn up or else".

That piece made me smile, Havelock had difficulty managing his own life never mind anyone else's.

I think we've all done something like that. In the very early 1960's 4 of us drove a similar distance in a very ancient Austin Sheerline which did about 20mpg to Poole for meeting , only to be greeted at the carpark entrance by an attendant who explained the meeting had been called off. As for madness/passion/dedication? I would say all three.

I think he's on record in stating that he has two years left at Perry Barr, the owners have said the dogs will be going to the new track in Wolverhampton by the end of the year & then they will be planning their next moves to develope the site for other use. Tolley has also said that he needs to see a marked increase in attendances this year, if not next season won't happen.

Did you see the ?symbol at the end of Najjer's post? Perhaps it would be an idea if you checked out its meaning.

Dodgy stuff?.no thanks.

Well yes quite possibly, but in my case , to watch the meeting last night I had two options 1 travel by car at a high cost for the evening, 2 pay £15 and watch from my armchair . For me it represents good value It's not something I would do regularly but as a one off I have no complaints.

There can be many reasons why folk consider it value for money. Some may not be able to travel for various reasons , work , health , cost etc. for those £15 is an excellent deal i would suggest

I did consider leaving her at home but i didn't dare suggest it I really like the Belle Vue track & stadium & the trip up there through the peaks is a lovely drive in daylight hours, but i find the return at night very demanding on what are mostly twisty unlit roads.The alternative is a longer journey via the m6 & A50/A500 across to the east mids, a journey with the inevitable delays for road works /closures causing a much longer journey time. Last night I watched the speedway, then watched the first episode of Coma on Channel 5 which had been recording & was " tucked up" in bed by 11.00 pm

Exactly , I purchased my first BSN stream last night £15 for the two of us. Compare this to the cost of a 180 to 200mile round trip , entrance tickets, car parking, fuel , & probably a light meal somewhere , that would see the evening cost well overv £100 for myself & the wife.

Well Bob is old.

I think we all understant that is a possibility, & as the latest update states the group have"considered their strategy under every likely circumstance". However you view the situation there can be no doubt that the group have performed a minor miracle getting us this far, with huge support from the council, MP's , the residents of the local area, &supporters from UK and futher afield and deserve massive credit for what has been achieved to date.

They did & i think the 6 week period expired last Friday.

That was a huge surprise yesterday, hopefully, instead of building lots of little brick walls on the site, Brandon Estates have just run into a massive one themselves.
