I think we need a realist in here. I travelled to scunny to watch us get embarrassed. That shouldn't be happening. It doesn't matter how many meetings we've had under our belt. No team should get that embarrassed by scunthorpe.

Why you wanting cookie gone?

I'd take Worrall over batch but I like Vuolas

Did you go to watch the speedway or complain about every little thing that has very little to do with the racing.

I've heard he is fit but just had no offers.

Zero entertainment. Track is and always will be shocking. They've even resorted to putting cheerleading on to try to up the entertainment factor.

What an awful track. It's like most clubs mini track. Gate and go. Whoever is past the first bend wins.

I just wanted to know what he said. Let a guy dream

Tell me more about Nicholls sounding interested?

Retaining batch can be the wrong decision but that doesnt mean dropping cookie was wrong also. The antics cookie pulled last season were out of order and not acceptable. Letting your team know you aren't turning up 20 minutes prior to a meeting starting isn't acceptable. Not being contactable through the whole of winter whilst you're supposed to be preparing for the new season is not acceptable. It's clear batch isn't a no.1 and his spitting the dummy attitude isn't acceptable but cookie can be just as bad. You can only go off what you know and the promotion knew that batch attended every meeting without fail.

Some harsh comments here. Yes it isn't acceptable by Batch but his bike was awful today. I agree it wasn't good enough. Why didn't he choose his second bike? However, he wasn't pulled up at the back because he was losing. His bike was just rubbish.

His argument was he wants a slick track to get some consistency for the home lads in hope that consistent good performances at home carry over to away meetings. I know naff all about track prep so god knows

Cookie was interviewed by BSN and he stated he's working with the club to get a more slick track

Sam Mcgurk incoming

I'm confident both will have very good seasons. Antti will continue his great form around comets and I hope he can push on away from home. Denham put him as out no.5 against Edinburgh. Not sure if that's the plan going forward or it's because tate looks low on confidence.

It pissed down all day yesterday. The track was obviously suffering from the downpour the day before.

Monarchs will score nothing because it'll be getting cancelled

Weather forecast has taken a turn for the worse this morning. Last night I was really hopeful. This morning not so much. Glasgow have cancelled their meeting and I can see Edinburgh following suit. Would be nice to know before 1pm when I set off though.

As with any sport, especially this one, you'll see a big drop off in supporting numbers through continuous bad performances. It's in Andrews best interests to get a solid, winning team. For me, I'm not bothered. I enjoy speedway no matter if we win or lose. Obviously I'd prefer to win but it's nice to just relax and enjoy a nice speedway meeting. Can't wait for this season. I went Redcar on three occasions, berwick, Glasgow and Edinburgh last season. This season I want to go to the same but make the trip further south as well. UTC!

I predict an Edinburgh win by 10 pts. New track for tate and fraser. Not sure how much practice troy has had and I know antti struggled last time. We may be relying heavily on troy and the reserves to pick us up some points. I'll be making the 3 hour journey up to watch. Can't wait. UTC!

Chill out mate. You don't have to have ridden a speedway bike to express your opinions/thoughts. I think he's right in saying that about Jye because last year he fell off a lot. I hope a new track and new equipment can help him out. I'm sure he can put a point on his average this season.

The last time out was an absolute nightmare. We had no tate, and had Laylan Richardson and Mason Watson guesting for us. If it wasn't for cookie we would have been slaughtered. Antti struggled but I did see signs of him getting the hang of the track in the end. Hoping hook, jye, and troy can claw some points together.

It's certainly a concern. I was going in to this season expecting Tate and Troy to be our no.1 and no.5. Going off current form, it could be very demanding on the rest of the team to pick up the slack. Don't want to think too much about it though. We shall soon see come Friday.

Cheers marra. Average by Troy and below average by Tate it would seem. I'm not too familiar with some of the riders named but good to see Troy beating Harris at one point.

Does anyone know how our tate and troy done in France on Saturday? I heard rumours Tate didn't do so well but heard nothing about troy. TIA
