Sat up in Bar for first few heats and then ventured down. Id' say if as Nigel has indicated one of recent ones was 350 that last night was around 400-450 mark.

I arrive between 6pm and 6.30pm. I put an old programme on the dSbiard and a note saying "Speedway arrived 6.30pm will be back by 10.30pm. Never had a ticket nor notified a fine. If I did I'd send a copy of my note and match programme. It's not rocket science.

Also where the guy from Teng Tools was killed at a Banger meeting I believe. I personally hated the place. OK it kept us operational for a while but was a cold bleak filthy place and wrong part of he City for me. The City Council are very sport minded. Sadly many initiatives over the years have been blocked by national governments and we have a complete wazzicj in the elected Mayoal role.

It might be interesting to know if refs are allowed to check any reputable TV or Streaming evidence in certain scenarios -

Kemps a lad with very brittle confidence. Remember when he started at Sheffield like a house on fire but then regressed quicky once he went to no2 He then sat out the rest of the CL season and turned down offers as he wanted to ride at reserve. No 2 and No 4 are tough slots and it'll be interesting to see ho he fares. Having said that either Cook can and will fill their boots at reserve at home and some away tracks. Ablitt is obviously suffering a confidence issue and not getting enough NDL meetings at the moment to keep his pecker up. -
Is that the one that was heavily featured in an episode of Vera on ITV?

It can be used to prevent a DDoS attack, more usually though by financial services and key services. DDoS is when a rogue site hits your site with millions of simultaneous hits trying to blow your servers. The most logical explanation is that Sgb are using a server provider who runs some big companies and corporations. It's a safety net to check your browser is genuine.

So you'd have waited til the morning of the match? What time 2am, 4am,6am,8am,10am, 11.58am. Then you'd announce the blindingly obvious. It's going to hammer down from early afternoon, so the match we could have called off last night, so that you coukd plan your day accordingly.plus riders officials medics etc plan there's, we're going to call off now instead just to wind up to 1000 people up. Not to mention those at work, at school, preparing bikes, preparing medical kits, getting food in etc etc. Strikes me that rather than admit Plymouth we're right and you were wrong, you want to carry on against the blindingly obvious facts.

Wasn't there talk of a track at Southampton? Would IOW be an option for a season? Could Wimborne be an option as it supports a big Grass Meeting.

Yep I checked Redcar is 271 Eastbourne 275
-
I remember going to a Scunthorpe track that was an athletics track in the 70s a d one with a double decker bus as a stand with Paul Evitts in the 80s...or is my mind truly gone?
-
Track sizes can be deceptive. As an example if you asked 100 people which was the biggest Redcar or Eastbourne I'd wager 90% would say Redcar. It's actually 4 yards smaller. Lost a speedway quiz due to that a few years ago for a nice old Brummies race jacket.. Lol I agree wider straights and sweeping turns best for modern bikes which is why Ashfield is my favourite to visit. New Workington tracks looks stunning too..
-
Don't get the obsession with big tracks that often deliver spread out processional racing. Surely a track similar length to Armadale and Redcar built to modern requirements with shorter straights and sweeping turns is ideal. Besides if wishing to retain most of the current 1 to 7 surely give them like for like as opposed to something totally alien.
-
Great news for one of the friendliest of Clubs. Hopefully they can be ready for April / May 2023 or would at a push may it be possible to start at Armadale and then move if new venue was a few months late??

I believe he lives in Ledbury. If so it's Herefordshire, the Boundary with Worcestershire is just over the other side of the Malvern Hills from the Worcester side.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the issues last night, one thing seems to have been completely overlooked RIDER SAFETY. A weakness in any fence is as murphys law dictates like a magnet. Sheffield is one of the fastest tracks in the Country, phenominal speeds in to the bends and often in the high dirt line. You CANNOT compromise that for TV, for the Public, it's the one aspect that is NON NEGOTIABLE. We saw before air / foam fences how exposed lamposts and posts were a magnet, the losses of the likes of Gary Peterson; Denny Pyatt, Vic Harding to name but 3 sadly and forever missed and even with Air Fences riders have been badly hurt by Posts hit after going underneath or totally depressing the bag given the speed of impact. Had that meeting continued with an ill-fitting or incorrectly fitted bag and someoe have been hurt or worse as a consequence then the raminfications would have been FAR MORE serious. Maybe too before keyboard warriors and those who have never taken any responsibility for anything in their lives belittle and troll, may be consider the Track Staff and Track Volunteers who make speedy repairs 99 times out of 100 and always walking away with the responsibility of the repair they have ensured in their minds right the way through the meeting until the final race is run.

May be Scunthorpe should start at 3pm then on a Friday, give the Paramedic . Medic and Ambulance chance to turn up, go away, come back Even longer to read the programme - oh what programme Get out of that glass house it might get hot!

I don't think you'll find any air in the fence at Lynn?.. its foam!

Poole Pirates Vs Plymouth Gladiators 22 June
HGould replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Size isn't everything lol I'd say Eastbourne is like Monmore, very tricky and not a natural shape big home track advantage. I don't really enjoy visits to either. Turns too tight especially first turns at both. Plymouth is actually a lovely shape and flows much better, it's like a very small Somerset. If they could just widen and round off the straights at Plymouth by a few metres it would be a cracking shape. The closeness to the track for spectators at Plymouth is a great experience. No dog track. -
Seen it in speedway star and its on Plymouth v Newcastle preview he has second docs appointment 30th June. The star interview a few weeks ago said he hoped to be back by end of July.
-
His 2021 scores were null and void don't forget. His scores will be calculated from 2019 and possibly before, he started 2019 on a ridiculously high average from PL average marked up.

In Poland Toft most definitely wouldn't have gone. Lawson had he done that in Poland would have been lucky to walk out of the stadium. -

So you weren't there but happy to contradict fair minded Poole fans who were there who outed Lawson for dangerous Riding. It's clearly dangerous and thankfully MPT was relative unscathed. -

You'd wonder if they were at the same match. Some good column inches though I guess. https://www.poole-speedway.com/fixtures-results/view/2022-06-22-poole-plymouth https://plymouth-speedway.com/gladiators-draw-away-at-the-pirates/
