Whilst wishing Lewis all the best sorting out his depression I wouldn't think any of the above riders are on or have ever been on a 'special diet', except perhaps Tai as he looks the fittest of the lot? (At least he did do until he decided to keep changing the way he looks.) That's perhaps half the problem with English riders and why the likes of Nielsen, Mauger, Pedersen, Hancock etc. reach the top of their profession and stay there for years whereas they don't. I would also think Polish riders are under a lot more pressure to perform as they get dropped pretty quickly if they're not scoring well. Just my opinion.

Which just returns us once again to the question of why the promoters of Coventry Speedway are not allowed to use their own track curator and prepare the track how they would like it for the team?

Oh dear. I perhaps shouldn't have said that because now everyone knows the previously secret dogging place in Coventry.

Well, you're obviously not a lady so the stand up version is okay for you. You want to try to get toilet seating access at Coventry with a dog in tow who doesn't want to co-operate so I can get access to the seat. Therefore I nominate Coventry.

I've always found anti-perspirant deodorant helpful in cases like this. (Sorry - that was a good post really.)

Dry because rain was forecast, but luckily it didn't last for long. Brilliant match with loads of passing, which just makes me all the more disappointed that my local track doesn't produce racing like this. Well done to all the lads. The only downside was seeing Martin Knuckey struggle again. Can't see him wanting to make the journey up from Cornwall for much longer.

Weather is fine but I'm sure it's going to turn very cold tonight so wrap up warm everyone.

What? ....

Way too much information.

Yes, you could very well be right TWK. I was forgetting all the bikes riders seem to have nowadays.

Blimey! Hope the Belle Vue meeting runs smoothly and there are no hold ups on the M6. A.A. reckon over 4 hours to make that journey.

Fisher is a Coventry asset so presumably that's where he will ride.

I think we're all pretty much agreed on that....except the lad himself.

Those were the days, also riders travelling around with a bike strapped to the back of a car. Nowadays it seems as if young riders want everything right from the start and must have 'International Speedway Rider' emblazoned on the sides of their latest model van.

Starman have you been speed reading again? I think the clue might be in the previous posts. No he's not serious.

That was pretty scary. I'm sure he's been advised now that it was rather unwise.

Have you cheered up yet?

Thanks for the answer - not what I was expecting though. Not a youngster then. I just go by the style of riding and I liked his.

Can't say I really enjoyed it because mostly the Storm riders were gating first and off they went. Hope there were no newcomers to National League racing there tonight because it's normally so much better than that. Was impressed with Steve Jones style of riding for Scunthorpe, also Danno Verge although I'd never previously heard of either of them. What nationality is Danno? The track looked good - that's the main thing - but whether it still will do after the Stock Cars tomorrow is another matter.

Okay fair enough. I didn't know they had three injuries in their first meeting and I thought 'G' against the riders name meant guest. I stand corrected. 1. Steve Jones 2. Conor Dwyer (G) 3. Danno Verge 4. Adam Kirby (G) 5. Sam Woods (G) 6. Liam Sanderson 7. Ryan MacDonald

Why are Scunthorpe allowed three guests? Have they not got a full team yet?

True. I nominate Neil Middleditch as he understands what the youth of today are like. He'll soon sort him out.

Well it might not be too bad as they'll perhaps play a different Queen song next week.

I don't know of any other track that does this, even Coventry where it is the same promotion. I've got dodgy knees as well and once I've sat down I won't be getting up for the National Anthem. I've got no respect for hunting/shooting Royalty.

I'm pretty sure you'd get a reply from Coventry as Neil Watson is good enough to correspond on here with the lower classes who attend Speedway. I was going to say don't set SCB off, but it looks like I'm too late.
