He lives 20 mins from the track.

Constant maintanance of the hole between heats. Danny Ford said they had been working on the track since EWednesday but this hole only appeared after heat 2. The track is being bladed before heat 11.

About to restart. Next issue is dust. Not been watered track looks dry.

Schlein just did three laps no real issues.

No. Dont recognise them. Never seen an issue at this spot before overwatering opened up a hole?

Thats Frankly disgraceful to be honest. This will cost the club massively. They have dug a long groove and are raking out the hole. Dumping loads of shale on the grass.

This looks off. Every rider and trackman gawping at hole nothing being done. Lots of shale kicking nothing more. Big crowd not going to be happy.

Track is very very bad. A hole has appeared on apex third and fourth bend. Shanes hit it and his wheel collapsed. Riders all on track staring at it. Interval now taken. Lots of kicking of shale and standing about. Not good but not unexpected considering last two meetings. On arrival track looked like a battlefield.

I don’t want to watch a team with r/r for the majority of home meetings.

This does ask the obvious question. Why bother with a young Danish rider whose club rides on a Wednesday causing a direct clash with our home meetings? There’s no doubt he is a talent and a top rider in the future, but if he can’t ride in the U.K. on Wednesdays during the Danish season, he’s going to be of little use to our club.

Think the points system is wrong. Score 15 points, get blown out in the semi and end up with much less? Unfair imo. Perhaps someone could work out what the current standings would be under points scored with last years system.

A nice warm and sunny day here with temperatures up to 22 degrees. Should be a good crowd attending this afternoon. Hopefully the track staff are already at work flooding the track with water. Going to be one hell of a job to keep the dust down during the meeting. Watering and grading every two heats might be a solution though doubt that will happen as it will mean a 3 hour meeting.

Two minds think alike. The blonde one on gate 4 would crack a walnut no problem. But it shows how the meeting went when we are talking about start girls. I guarantee we will see a far superior meeting at Wimborne Road tomorrow afternoon.

No I am not a leftie. Only the hard right and thick people would want brexit.

No. I would want the Russian National anthem.

Lol! 10000% never.

Best thing about the gp was the start girls. Holy rubbish the blonde on gate 4. Yes I know it is not PC but

No Russian national anthem. Ridiculous.

It’s the way it is. Speedway is very small U.K. sport. Football, cricket, Rugby, Tennis, Superbikes, horse racing, huge list with much bigger crowds. When Woffy won three titles it was hardly mentioned.

We have much bigger sports than speedway in the U.K. unfortunately. Speedway doesn’t get mentioned on tv or media other than a satellite channel or two.

Fabulous result.

A small club like Grudziadz winning in the last heat must have been painful to watch.

Now a feeder club for the big boys in the top league. Bring on the youngsters for the top clubs to use.

Well you can visit some tracks in the woods. Dudek already said bye bye. Pepe number one?
