Livestream is on the councils YouTube. They didn’t start the part two (ground inc the speedway area) until half five-ish. The plan for 850 homes was approved with conditions mainly concerning highways. The second plan included the speedway area, for a further 650 homes. That was refused. have to be honest that while I was watching, I did think it was going the other way by what certain councillors were saying. The Chair though was big time against it. He mentioned how he remembered going to the shows and speedway as both child and adult and how they’ve been basically destroyed. (Can’t remember the words he used, but that’s what he meant) He also said that he’s seen so many people in Peterborough say how there’s nothing to do - his pointing out that the showground is a venue where lots was always going on. They also said that the further 650 homes made this plot too big and They’d rather the homes be split across the wider city than all in one place. The final vote went 4 for and 6 against.

Following the calling off of Glasgow v Oxford- Jordan Jenkins is now guesting in place of Dan Gilkes

Thanks for sharing, that’s really sad news. Anne was a lovely lady, we got to know her when she ran the organisation of Ian Barney’s testimonial year stuff back in the late 80’s RIP Anne xx

Yes. That’s where I’ll be watching, shows other stuff rather than annoying adverts

At Birmingham Monday, the guy said Danny was planning on being back for the British final. That’s on the 8th so hopefully the two meetings this week will be the last he misses

You definitely didn’t imagine it! Great ride by Jordan in heat 8, backing up the paid win in heat 2 So glad he’s got his first win and no doubt relieved to have that off his back I might not have a voice in the morning though !!

Made it to the car park twice this year for it to be rained off once I’ve been parked. Plus two cut short because of rain during the meeting. Not too bad if I was local but have two hours drive each way. I have my ticket from the cancelled match last time round, but can’t decide when to head over, how long to leave it - or if!

Definitely was Boughen winning. JJ held back Vissing to ensure the 5-1 for him and Ashton I was watching livestream, didn’t notice the result was given other than that

Thanks for your help

Planning on travelling up from East Anglia for this. Never been to Perry Barr before. Any advice for parking/food nearby? I saw the parking info on the Brummies website, is there lots available there? Thanks in advance

Yes - re-run video productions film at Lynn and Ipswich

I’m a Panthers fan, tonight will be my first match this year at the AFA. Both teams have ex-Panthers - I know which side of the derby I’ll be ‘supporting’ but it’ll never be the same as shouting for a Panthers side.

The fixture was always for this date, not a rearranged one. It’s on the original list at the start of season

I’m pretty sure that when Danny got injured and knew he’d be out for a bit , that the Ipswich management said they’d got the guests signed up for the foreseeable to cover his absence

I have a two hour each way journey to Foxhall and twice this season I’ve been in the car park when they’ve called it off. Much as we all hate cancelled meetings, I’d much rather they were called off before lunchtime and save my fuel. Yes, my prepaid ticket will work at the next three fixtures but the fuel money is lost from those two trips. However, calling it off the day before is a bit much in this league. It’s a bit different if fans are travelling from Edinburgh or Glasgow or maybe Plymouth, maybe incurring an overnight stay - no one wants that expense for a cancelled meeting.
