She'd probably have declared Bowtell the winner of heat 14..lol

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!

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/

Everyone in The Cumbria Speedway fraternity knows he's a tart, and a gating tart

Cheating is breaking the law or gtting someone to change a law for the benefit of some not all! What Gary May did in declaring Howarth to replace Barker and not Kennett was completley within the Rules of the Sport and had any Team Manager not spotted that option then frankly they shouldn't be Team Managing. Maybe Poole fans are too used to see their Team hammering the opposition and when they don't hammer the opposition having the parallel univese write up from Shovlar to ease their worries, a bit like the worst of the Daily Mail. Having watched the stream as a complete neutral, I felt that Lawson was dangerous in fencing MPT (in fairness unusual for Lawson), hard on Bowtell and Bowtell could have sandbagged and got lawson excluded (so credit to Bowtell0 ; and the Heat 14 verdict on the line is unforgivable really. Poole will probably strengthen before the play offs and injuries and lack of suitable replacements will ultimately hinder Plymouth but certainly last night lady luck smiled on Poole and hit Plymouth right in the goolies!

Staggering article in the Speedway Star today outlining the investment Nigel has made and contunies to make and how far from break-even they are match to match, and how desperatley low some attendences have been. Positive that he will get to the end of the season and pay all the bills though. Its a strikingly similar scenario to other Clubs who have departed , outgoings exceeding incomings, declining attendences, declining sponsorship and advertising, increased costs, uncaring corporate landlords; and a group of riders whose machine and running costs dicate that they too are living in cloud cuckoo land about being full time professionals, pandering to tuners and the latest weight saving gimmicks; and yes many Owners/Promoters own business models in cuckoo land too, hearts ruling their brains!. With the other ogre the "developer" threatening Swindon, Edinburgh and Peterborough really is time to baton down the hatches and support all Clubs and hopefully come out the other side. Its easy to blame Owners / Promoters as being incompetent, clueless, stupid and even crooks to varying degrees; but I saw how affected Peter and David were last season, aging visibly with worry and stress; and having read Rob Grants comments this week and those of others who have tried and failed in recent seasons in the past decade, it's clear to me that rather than attack those who have tried and failed and moan at those who are trying NOT to fail, it really does need some decisive action. All those that have failed have undoubtedly invested much financially and lost it and immesurable investment in time and stress. That starts from the top down but us supporters also have a part to play from the bottom up. There are green shoots at Workington and hopefully at Swindon and Eastbourne and Oxford big-style are showing it IS possible.

Does a ref have scope to exclude a rider from a meeting for dangerous Riding if its clearly going to impact on the result of the meeting?
