That was a special ride Mustve been great to be there live Its moments like that that stick with a fan forever

Gavan the forecast is now for persistent rain from around midday tomorrow right through til Wednesday morning The band of rain is now so widespread there is little or no chance of it bypassing the Showground Perfectly sensible decision

If you ran a caption comp for that Nico pic Im not sure many would be printable!!

I think the more important work for some is between the ears rather than on the track....

Just seen the BBC breakfast forecast and the band of rain has enlarged alarmingly Will be a surprise if it misses the showground now - but the way these things change so quickly at present who knows! A Promoters nightmare

Possibly - looks like rain will be scattered and very localised like today though Today it stayed dry and bright at Mildenhall - 2 miles down the road on the way home you could see there was significant flooding - had that hit the stadium it wouldve meant an immediate halt to proceedings

It will all be irrelevant when the Witches win on Tuesday

It is a cross we have to bear - proof of the dangers of many generations of inbreeding

Hope Alfie is OK after a very nasty spill at Mildenhall today. Have seen him ride a number of times against the Witches in the last 12 months and he has impressed me with the way he atracks his races. I think he has something about him that many others dont and was glad to see him get his chance. Thought the Newman hoodoo had struck again too but thankfully I understand he should be all OK

Yes but such logic doesnt suit the paranoid eveyone is against us Pussycat agenda......

Your own promotion seems to think so....

Guests for top 3 in averages this year

Not that difficult

Guests for a few weeks then Tough on Nico who found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time for his 2 falls last night. Get well soon fella

It means Boro are in a strong position so long as they beat the Witches 9 points 4 meetings ave 2.25 From the 4 team groups this would require 3 home wins 1 away win and 2 losing points to have a higher ave Given that kind of record would normally top a group its unlikely a second placed team will be as a good as that At least it means the Witches still have something to ride for on Tuesday

I just didnt want Sid to be the only one looking all mixed up

From Dexys Midnight Runners?

Its always disappointing to lose but at least there was a bit more of a spectacle tonight Track was difficult - more than a little rough and rather patchy We never really got going again and 1 or 2 need to give themselves a shake Can there be any positives? You could argue that half a wheel in the right place in heat 15 in both home meetings wouldve resulted in 2 5-1s and 2 wins despite looking poor overall. It is only those small margins that are the difference.

Oh the irony

Lakeside not included at that time Peterborough didnt attend Leicester/Sheffield would be a block vote and hold the balance of power between the 2 divisions (if there were a straight split)

Thats why I asked if it was out

Was the tide out?

Could make a difference if come the end of the year KL pip Swindon to the last play off spot by 1 point.....

Bates would have to return Non like for like redeclaration couldnt include a facility for an injured rider

To have any chance of progress we need to stop Lakeside taking even a point We will need to be 10x better than the first meeting to do that and cant afford too many last places Im confident we will win but hitting 50+ will be tough
