I see lots of people without a programme, and if my Wife comes with me, we only buy one programme, so putting the price up even higher (perhaps by £3) to include a programme is not a good idea in my opinion.

There is of course the option to stay at home and spend your £25 on the fuel bill? Have you been to a football match lately and seen how much they charge.

Yep, been there, done that with potential sites for a new track near Norwich. We found a great site in a gravel pit, a natural bowl which seemed ideal. Planning application turned down on road access, and not approved until a new large road junction was built. A few years down the line, the road junction was built, planning application turned down again! In the meantime they gave permission for a huge new retail park next to our proposed site with a big Sainsburys, The Range, Boots, Next and numerous other stores all exiting at the same junction which the planners said was not suitable for a Speedway stadium. Regular chaos and queues at the junction, so words fail me!

I am a frequent visitor to our local Theatres, such as the Corn Exchange in Kings Lynn, to see live music. The shows are generally between £28 and £35 per person for 2 hours live entertainment. Some shows are even more. The killer for me is that I live just south of Norwich, so its a 100 mile round trip and the cost of fuel has to be factored in. Plus the cost of a programme, perhaps a drink and some chips and its a big expense now I'm a pensioner. I think the admission price is OK, but its the total cost that makes it difficult for some people.

Just to point out Kerry, Its Alfie Bowtell, in the Plymouth line up, not Botwell.

What comments did Alex Brady make? Or is it not legal to publish them!

Am I missing something here? With only Ashton announced so far, where are all these other names coming from?

I have a feeling the weather will win this fixture sadly. I've just had a look at the rain radar for Monday evening in Birmingham and its not good.

Thanks Gaz. This looked to be an entertaining match which I planned to watch on BSN, but didn't want to part with my cash if its either going to be rained off or raced on a wet muddy lottery of a track! Further updates nearer tapes up would be very much appreciated.

Another great Guest showing from Lewis Kerr after his 1 point for Lynn at home against Ipswich. I thought he can't be as bad as that again......I was wrong!

When we got a Sky Q box, probably 2 years ago, I signed up for that free 12 month deal for Discovery+ However, over 2 years later I still get it for free and have never been asked to pay for it. I was puzzled but thought it was free if you were simply a Sky customer?

Unfortunately to cast to from my mobile to my portable TV in the caravan, both the Mobile and the Chromecast I have plugged in to the back of the TV , have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Most sites we have been on have rather pathetic Wi Fi, that is usually not fast enough for good streaming so I tend to use the data on my phone to watch. I need to get a portable TV with the Discovery+ app on I think. More expense!

Yes, I just had a look on the Eurosport planner and its not listed, however it is listed on Discover+. That's a pain, as I'm away in my caravan and I would normally record it from Eurosport on my Sky box. However, although I have the Discovery+ app on my Sky box, I can't record from an app. My only other option is to watch it on my mobile live on the Discovery+ app, but its going to be a mighty small screen!

Thanks Petecc. I do have Discovery+ on my SkyQ box and normally watch the GP's on that, so I'll keep an eye out. Its a bit of a trek from Norwich to Birmingham but in my younger days I'd have probably done it. I remember back in the 1970's driving from Norwich to Poole, watching Poole v Kings Lynn, then driving back again the same night after the match in dense fog! Oh the joys of being young and foolish!

Thanks, that makes sense.

I was hoping this meeting would be streamed on Brummies TV, but on their web site it says "No matches scheduled" which is a shame. Could be a close one and I'd love to see how Jan gets on as he experiences different UK tracks?

I thought Discovery+ were originally going to show the SGP4 at 3pm. It now seems to have vanished from their planner, or was I imagining it?

I switched to Eurosport and its OK.

Yep. Lost it on Discovery+ on my Sky box

I'm just south of Norwich and at 4-20pm its tipping down. The heavy rain is heading towards Ipswich and will probably arrive around 5-45pm. Not looking promising for tonight I'm afraid.

If it rains, will we see another "Holdergate" situation? Buster can't sack him this time!

They don't, but I think they have missed a trick there. I'm assuming that tracks get a percentage of the income from streaming and I'm sure there are lots of fans of both teams who would pay to watch the stream?

Meeting OFF. Heavy rain, waterlogged track. A new date will be arranged.

I was also at Hackney that night, standing near the starting gate. My memory of the event is a little hazy, but at the time I thought his throttle had stuck open as he appeared to be travelling very fast around the outside when he hit the fence. A terrible thing to happen to a rider and as others have said, with the introduction of air fences, how many major injuries have they saved over the last few years?

That's sad news. Brian and Waggy put together a World class team whilst in charge, and Brian was instumental behind that. My sincere condolences to his family at this time. Brian was a really nice guy.
