That's a totally unnecessary post Blobby!!! All the best to Anders, poor lad was running about in shock not knowing what to do with himself and when he tried to run it looked like he'd hurt his leg as well

Sad reading in this weeks Speedway Star about Ged Rathbone's thoughts and emotional turmoil. Promoters do their best but can't always get it right and will always be in the firing line for flack from all those who "know best" Stay positive and don't let the bullies get to you..... You signed Cookie so you must have what it takes!!!

So why bother with all the team changes? I have no beef with Peterborough.... You have Cookie!!! BUT would it not have been better to agree to the fixture last night? I understand you had riders missing but so did we Forgive us but it is hard to understand why Peterborough made these team changes and then refuse to come to Edinburgh before the cut off. I guess they must've had their reasons but it doesn't make sense to me

Much as we will miss young Dan tonight, I am glad common sense has prevailed and he is taking his health seriously Take care lad and look after yourself

Lining up at number 6 is the new British U 19 Champion following the meeting at Birmingham tonight ...... WTG Max ...... Winning with a Full Maximum ..... Really proud of you lad!!!

There we have it then, Sheffield beaten by Rye House tonight with the help of the skipper, Sam scored 10+1(4) for Rye House. Unfortunately, Simon Stead had to withdraw with a wrist injury after his 2nd race..... Hope he is ok

Really sad to hear this but he is better to make sure he is fully fit and well, a sensible speedway rider! Take care Dan

Good luck to Berwick and their loyal band of supporters. No team is 100% safe these days and it is worrying times for folks with "speedway in their veins"

I can never understand the mentality of people who do things like this and I sincerely hope they get caught and made to pay for the damage One more thing Plymouth could well do without..... Good luck again folks! Well done Chris

I may be reading you wrong but your 1-5 can't take rides for a reserve? I'm sure Uncle George will have it sorted..... Patience folks

Great bus company, sponsor of Edinburgh Speedway...... The bus took fans to the Forth Road Bridge for a sponsored walk prior to coming to Newcastle Tachographs are complicated things

The ref can only act on what he sees ..... Or what is reported by an official, but ...... That's where the "3 monkey syndrome" kicks in OR the "gob" that wants a rider banned As I've said before, speedway is a high adrenaline sport and red mist is almost certain to descend occasionally For the record, I do not condone mechanics involvement except to pull the hyper riders away and calm the situation down

Or take it to personal messages and give us all peace. It's in the past now and won't be changed so it's time to move on as you will obviously never agree

That was shaping up to be a very interesting meeting with some cracking racing as both teams were really going for it but the downside of our sport reared its ugly head again. Firstly best wishes to Lewis, Dan (and Sam) I was told that Lewis's chain broke so that would explain his sudden stoppage. It looked nasty but full marks to Max Clegg who laid his bike down in a heartbeat or it could've been much worse Poor Sam must've wondered what the #### was happening when Dan's runaway bike clobbered him from behind. First report is that he has lost some skin from his arm and a groin injury. Dan and Lewis will be huge misses to us and NC ...... Get well soon lads

I don't know how these Federations get away with threatening riders to get their own way! They organised the fixtures for the same day so the fault is entirely theirs! I suppose we should be grateful they didn't want Mark as well and Kevin is on the wrong side of 21

From last night's programme:- Erik is off to Finland tomorrow for the third leg of the World long track Grand Prix. After the second leg in Holland on Monday Erik leads the Championship by eleven points. Tomorrow was also due to be the day that the European Under 21 Team championships take place. When the German federation realised that Erik wouldn't be available they changed it to Sunday. Erik declined to ride in that event, preferring to be at Newcastle and that prompted the Germans to threaten a ban

Well done Glasgow, taking no risks and doing what was required...... It's up to you now to keep the trophy North of the border

Pity we have to go without Erik who goes well at Brough, we'll need a big effort from everyone else

OK I'm bored but here goes:- Sing this little ditty to the The Carpenters, Rainy days and Monday's ....... Talking to wee Dan and feeling old Forecast's the same again, nothing ever seems to change Hanging around nothing to do but frown Rainy days on Fridays always get me down Some they say to cover up the track Either way we're sure to take some flack Hanging around listening to the others scoff Rainy days on Fridays always pxxx me off

I'll be watching this one wishing I was there as I think it will be a cracker. Safe meeting for all and may the best team win..... Being Scottish..... Hope it's Glasgow (did I actually say that?)

That would be some dream..... My backyard!!!!!

Life can be so cruel..... Get well soon lass

Here we go again..... MEETING OFF

I would've been gutted if we hadn't taken a point at the end after such a close meeting throughout. Just goes to show, you can never write our lads off, it was harder without Ryan but they got on with the job Well done to both teams for what sounds like an excellent speedway meeting (wish I'd been able to go) The boy Dan...... Superb!!!!!!! 100% talent and a natural on a bike

Will be tough without Ryan, whereas their changes bolster them, but I hate to say that the damn Friday forecast may intervene again
