"I've also been informed that Belle Vue were not in a position to give us permission to speak to the rider - something they did grant to my co-promoter Trevor Swales when he made contact with them." Assuming that the BSPA are too dense to have come to this conclusion themselves, who would have raised it?

Could be major issues for Peterborough. At the moment without a team.... Come on Buster, open and transparent. That's what you said. Hee haw mention on their twitter.

Keyboard Warrior you say? Monarchs you say?? Surely not?!!!!?!

I'd like to hear the full details of how this happened. At the end of the day, our most promising British rider has been blocked from riding for a British team, not because it breaks the rules but because someone doesn't fancy it - the BSPA decision is a disgrace. And that's speaking as a supporter of another team who would have had to face up to the threat Cook posed to title ambitions. What a joke.

Shame this one wasn't on Sky by the looks of it!

Yes has to be allowed if possible. Cook continuing to ride in the UK is a good thing. Make Britain attractive to these guys.

I rate Cook and think he is rightly ambitious for success and will achieve it. Peterborough will help him pay the bills and he is going to be on a big big stage when Belle vue get started at the NSS. Good luck to him (and his nads) the rest of the year. Just hope he qualifies for the GP.

Probably to be expected results wise, though Belle Vue suffered with falls, Cooks retiral and Joe not being dialled in yet. However, good performance from Lakeside and great to see Lawson doing well again. Some very good racing. Worth staying in for.

IMO, virtually every heat has been good.Lots of racing. I presume the lack of grading is simply due to injuries etc, but yes the track is poor.

Zagar must be tactical in heat 10 -yes he is.

I hope all the moaners missed heat 8, yet more rubbish with no passing. Stevie Worral incredible.Lawson barnet incredible.

Brilliant ride from Cook - he just will not let Lawson get the better of him.

Hopefully they are grading right now. Enjoyable stuff though. Cook back, still in two pieces.

Richie Worrall self sacrifice heat 4.

Yes there's been delays but don't believe the moaners. As Orion says passing and excitement so far. Craig Cook just badly bruised his nadgers. Oooof

Very exciting prospect - Come on the two Richies. Actually had to cancel a dinner due to this, but no way I am missing it.

Exactly, if he scores 3 then he's doing the job. People seem to miss this with the reserves.

On the cheap with loads of opportunities. Great news for Speedway.

In the good news - I brought along two people the other week. One has been back twice since, and the other hasn't but is organising a day out to the speedway with five friends. It's like anything else though. Basketball looks deadly boring to me but I'm sure if you went to a few games you'd start to understand the intricacies and enjoy it a lot more.

If he's making hee haw in Poland, he probably can't afford to be too stringent in demands to a premier team. But who could fit that average in? I mean surely he could ride for Workington as it's only down the road from Belle Vue.

Back in the 70's you'd get 50,000 queuing for one of these

Looking forward to this, at last some EL Speedway on. Fingers crossed weather looks good. 49-41

Pie, chips, gravy as good as they've ever been. To the fans, look at the money and hard work the Facennas and promoters have put in, in the bar after the meeting on Sunday I did a double take - it's like being at a Premiership football club. Awesome place.

BUMP.... after the first few meetings of the season. Obv the table misleading as most matches have been friendlies or cup.

Just saw the 5-1 in heat 15 ffs...looks as if it was a cracker.
