Didn't mean to be salty (or sarky), your'e right about the geography, having the PLRC at Glasgow that year was a nightmare for fans of Ipswich. The fact that you can go up is just another reason why the sport should never be compared to football, as I said good luck and I hope Scott is back at Ipswich..

Whatevever, in the strange world of speedway. You never won the Championship though, good luck, is Scott Nicholls a possibility for ya?

Yeh good news, 38 points a big drop from what it was. Thought it would have been 6 man teams, glad it’s not.

It depends what people want to spend money on, 20 fags about a tenner, 4 pints up town about fifteen quid. In that context sixteen quid for speedway is ok, it’s getting people in and coming back again that is the problem.

English Monarchs..

The meeting postponed after Dan's injury, in the 3rd heat, was 25th August. This I believe was the original date for the meeting.

Rumours seem to point to 6 man teams, time will tell, surely something has to change though.

Yeh ok, I was talking about that meeting, we did have free weeks when teams wouldn’t come. it’s pretty rare for a fixture to be cancelled after an early injury. Hope Dan can make a good recovery. The final league fixture had/has no bearing on who won trophies and I don’t believe higher positions in the league table are rewarded. At least we had dry (yeah COLD) weather and were able to run the other meetings.

Don’t forget that the original Lakeside league match was cancelled after Dan Bewley got injured and the first double header of Shield and League rerun was cancelled cos of rain. Nothing to do with lack of planning. Why compare to football where there’s no play off, neither Comets or Lakeside would have finished above 2nd. There’s no way speedway can be compared to football, guests etc..

The gods were certainly kind to us last weekend, thank goodness.

Considering the original meeting was abandoned after the injury to Dan Bewley and the fixture chaos surely the BSPA can in the words of the Beatles, Let it Be.

Been gating great and hard to pass, the race when Lawson gated, got passed by Rasmus, Lawson passed Rasmus, not to be outdone Rasmus passed again and surged ahead, brilliant

Blimey, that’s interesting.... Wonder who

The feeling seems to be if it goes it won’t be back, good coverage in local press today. Cheers.

Perhaps trophies could bring more sponsorship in. Until it's said we're finished I'll have a little bit of hope.

....and if the first does win there can still be good races behind them for the points.

We sit very near the start line, we turned and both nodded at the same time that Rasmus had got it. Only by half a wheel though. Looking forward to the DVD

I’ve heard today that they’re trying to find somewhere for them......then a stadium would be needed. A councillor had told a relation this.

I know what you mean but after hardly winning at all away in the last few seasons we had 3 away wins in the league and were unbeaten in the Shield group, winning easily at Glasgow and also at Edinburgh.

Fair enough, had missed that, couldn’t resist. We weren’t highly rated in Speedway Star either, you weren’t alone..

I wouldn’t mind queuing for any rider next season, sadly probably not to be
