After all the "discussions" about the quality of racing and the admission costs, I guess most people will find this irrelevant, but what happened to the music on Wednesday night? It has never been the same since Karlito left but it was dreadful, no walk on music, which totally killed the atmosphere from the off. No "Rocket Man" to celebrate Richard Lawson's victories, was it a different DJ?

Rightly or wrongly, we are in the situation these days where the decision on whether to run a meeting or not is decided on the basis of the weather forecast. You would think that the most reliable source would be the Met Office, their forecast predicted impossible conditions for speedway so I don't think the promotion can be blamed for their decision. As it turned out, had the meeting started at 7.30 prompt (as I think it should every week!) then its possible the meeting could have been completed. Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing!

Thanks for the info, much appreciated👍

Making my first ever visit to Plymouth for this one. Can somebody tell me, is there plenty of parking at the stadium or is it better to use the park and ride? Thinking about how easy it is to get out after the meeting, and also if I'll find my car covered in dust!

Zach is 25 though!

According to the racecard on the BSN website, we have Jason Edwards guesting for Zach at Glasgow on Friday. Anyone know why?

Making my first ever trip to Peterborough tonight, presume there is plenty of on site parking?

I must say that I thought Drew would really kick on this season, hasn't really happened though.

Coming up from Poole for this one, I have my Unipart parking ticket, is the car park easy to find, is it signposted? the directions supplied are a bit vague!

I must say I was surprised at the outburst from the promotion re Basso moving on. I thought it was a given that he would not be back for 2022 considering all the clashes with Danish fixtures. It's one thing to sign halfway through a season, and I was glad he did!, but to commit to a full season would not have worked for him or the club. I for one am grateful for his contribution to Poole's success in 2021 and wish him well for the future.

Well done to all at Oxford and I hope this gives a feeling of optimism to all fans who have lost their track. On a personal note I lived near High Wycombe for most of my life and followed The "Rebels" from 1973, then to White City and back to Oxford again as The "Cheetahs". After their demise I started following the Poole Pirates and after many long journeys to Wimborne Road, did the sensible thing and moved to Poole almost a year ago. I wish all at Oxford well and hope they have a good season (but not too good!) just a bit disappointed to see that they are racing the same night as The Pirates!

Before moving down here we usually stayed at The Antelope, just off the Quay. About a 15 minute walk to the stadium, around £100 per room

Ryan Douglas to guest for Rory evidently!

Personally I would like to see the presentation of the riders start earlier and heat 1 start at 7.30. Also as regular track grading seems to be the norm these days do we really need an interval?
