I thought there was some kind of swap deal with Adam Shields going to Eastbourne.

You never know whats going on in sports peoples minds,you just have to look at a few sports stars who have struggled when to the outside world they have everything going for them,but what i cant understand is there doesnt seem to be any support from people like Jon Cook at Lakeside who own his contract ,it just seems like Lewis has been left to his own self destruct measures,with only one way to go.He also has a young family to support,so maybe its just getting to much for him at this prescent time.

Looks like Kennett has now declared himself fit to ride this friday against Belle Vue after x rays revealed no broken bones in his hand after his last heat fall at rye house when his engine blew

Can you imagine "the terror in Nikki P,s pit crew eyes" as Nikki breaks a chain at the start line and summons his 2nd bike IMMEDIATELY !! to the start line.Man it was a good job they were ready and Nikki won that heat,otherwise i dont know what would happened if Nikki got excluded under 2 mins!!!!! .The pit crew might have gone and hid somewhere until Nikki calmed down!!!!!

Even the Monster girls looked fed up and had their coates on as early as heat 1, ready to leave, thinking the meeting was going to be called off!!!!!

Can someone just clarify why the meeting was called off?

Just seen that Matt Wethers HAS FINALLY GOT his visa to race!! in the uk.Anyone know the problems he had?

IS there a right to appeal? iF so like everything else in uk law Proctor can ride another 2 seasons before a decision is finally made!!!! Speedway is a sport,proctor cant go round expecting people to give him a position,then the betting authority will be on to him!!! for race fixing.My own view is that Proctor is unlucky to be caught up in all this,hes trying to do a job for his team,he doesnt want to be thinking every race hes got to do this and that to get a work visa,he just wants to race.All these people saying he shouldnt go in heat 15 away from home or do this and that on track are kidding themselves.He just wants to race,earn money and do the best for his team,there shouldnt be added pressure put on him or team mates to do anything other then race.end of.

How Rory s is even allowed to compete for us is just a joke,what about Lewis Kerr or even Roynon for example.Germany gave a place to a rider that races in Germany only,why not give Kerr or Roynon a place,its far better to have them in the team gaining ex,rather then making fools of ourselves with who turned up .Gino M came in to the usa side for ex and did have a couple of good races,so why not ask Ker who has ability or Roynon who has shown ability to race for their country.

Good post,as it stands at the moment no probs with the drizzle,but hows the track going to be pRepared.?I dont mind going but what sort of meeting are they going to put on?

Whats the track going to be like tonight as here come the steady drizzle!!! im 6 miles from the track

Is stuart Douglas still the owner at Lakeside as heres been very quite recently,anyone seen him around the place lately?

Have to admit i was quite enjoying the racing and watching Chris Harris handle the track conditions was even more enjoyable,he never looked like making a mistake and just gave it 100%. Some riders acually look for ruts to fire themselves forward.Cant see any reason to blame the ruts,makes it interesting to see riders thinking how to attack the track,and not always racing on a billiard table surface.Anyone know if there was any kind of kerfew in place as to what time the meeting ends,and if the stadium was booked for sunday.I cant think of any other reason to call the meeting off.

Anyone know who the very proffessional" sounding "!!FIM JURY are who mad the call to call the meeting off.or was it someone else who called the meeting off?!! im confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there no rules set out to get a grand prix standard track?How does the world gov body give clearence on a track that has not been raced on? Seems bonkers to me that they didnt have to have a dress rehearsel with some kind of open meeting in order to get a grand prix standard licence to run the event!!!!

THANKS from me also R/R for taking the time to run this comp,always good fun with a bit of banter!!!!! AJ £50 MORE J DOYLE £50 MORE Thanks

I know it didnt make any diff to the end result but did anyone else see the russians taking a short cut?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.flickr.com/photos/16666591@N07/16492763814/

You cant blame lakeside as they were at full strenth,but surely we should follow other countries and have a "squad system" to allow riders to come in at short notice and teams to track riders in their own squad .why are we stuck in our ways and dont see the need to change? Its crazy,i love to know why we dont offer riders in the squad system,is it because of retainers and simply about money?But take Craig Cook for example,hes done great to get a team place in Poland,but he wont ride every sunday,so what kinda contract is he on and why cant we offer similar to overseas riders?

On the winners podium -Bech didnt ride -KK (kinda dint ride!!) But where was Troy for the Aussies? just forgot or?

Have i missed something but did Leicester use their second t/s ride?

Maybe next season we could have an intreval/whatever goes match race between sean and somone called roman!!! follow that up with Rob Tilbury v anyone who dares to race him!!!!

Surely lewis could have worked something out with Cam Woodward,who hes known for years and are both eastbourne assets.Maybe along the lines they could share the equipment 50/50 ,maybe cam has some engines still in use,I just cant beleive all avenues have gone down to find a solution.Maybe Meridian lifts can get lewis going!!!

Denis Sigalos was silky smooth a clean rider who could pass inside and out,and great tem man.as was cowboy cook. I grew up watching Andy Galvin,who was always in the thick of the action!!! A great racer and team rider. Kelly Moran was a pleasure to watch and talk to,sadly missed.
