Eurosport.

If they draw at Monmore tonight, do they have an extra race for the match point, and then another extra race for the aggregate point?!

As in: “ill” not be bothered …

I'd forgotten about Eurosport - even so, it would have made quite a story for them if Nicholls had answered a 28 day SOS. It's not as if the Witches are riding every Monday ...

Nicholls turned them down?

Already listed in their schedule as Leicester vs Sheffield.

Oh well - no more than the squit that you spout And … given that it was a poor looking team, he obviously didn’t exercise his best judgement

He chose the team.

The lighting was installed by Spedeworth, who are the long term lease holders. Ipswich only rent use of the stadium.

I remember Skid Parish and Derek Fiske! Foxhall, just before Berry & Thurley built the new speedway track on the inside:

Gosh - never ever heard it described as a hot rod circuit! It has always been a stock car track

Wonder how many watch the BSN coverage? Does anyone know if it's possible to get Eurosport viewing figures?

My Live Updates page says 1196 viewing.

Klindt in the pits with Jakobsen ...

Not girders. The Ipswich fence was collapsible on impact. With nothing to hang the airbags on, they had to develop a frame - the posts are at the back, don't think they've ever caused a problem?

They messed the team up by signing Pedersen. Quite a few people predicted he would find it tough, and wouldn't last the season. Obviously, no one guessed it wouldn't even be a lap!

Light rain at 13:05 - looks very dark in the direction of Ipswich, yet clearer to the south. Met Office reckons this will pass over, and may be clearer afterwards ...

Yet nothing at Grange Farm, Kesgrave - about a mile east of the track ... We heard the thunder, and it's turned cloudier and colder ...

Bluster postponed the match before the gate was bolted ... I'll get me coat.

Most speedway clubs are worthless. Those who actually own their own stadium at least have that as an asset - the rest have nothing that would interest any investor.

Foxhall has missed all the rain on Wednesday, so far (as at 19:00). Met Office forecast for Ipswich on Thursday is 60% chance in the afternoon (mostly showers, I think, rather than a solid band of rain), and clearing into the evening. I''ll be watching the excellent BSN coverage - would. be doing that whoever the opposition.

Kemp is still a Rising Star. His average issues would have been for a Championship place ... it's often riders in the 5-6 bracket that get squeezed out.

Averages are irrelevant, Rowe is still listed as a Rising Star.
