Well going by the BSPA fixtures for July I'd hang fire until the powers that be confirm

The formula, Rob Godfrey's suggestion allegedly, for future stagings was made in tandem with the 2018 Redcar staging decision. Peterborough knackered the plan by winning the damn thing again in 2018!

Subtle as a Rottweiler with a fluffy collar, Tesar wouldn't be looking twice at that.

That butterfly is a disgrace!

Apparently the BSPA have gone with the Eurovision formula whereby the winning team will traditionally be given the honour of hosting next year's competition. Therefore Panthers go for the treble in 2019, assuming that we haven't got ambitious within the same leagues structure, at the event's traditional home.

The chicken tasted rubbery

That's what I said! Why you no risten?

Over an apparent SGP Major event, just about sums up the situation and organisation.

If so shows how weak they are and how pointless UK Sunday speedway is if they entertain riders who want their cake and eat it!

Perks was ok when he got dialled in. Given a run he'd be the equal of Grondal, so from Finsbury Park to talking cobblers, no change there then!

That top 4 have to be fit and deliver though and that's a problem. None can have an off night as Morris did last night. Teams like Peterborough don't have weak heats and anyone can surprise at any time. I agree that class should tell over two legs but whether it does is open to question.

That and 2 duff reserves did Lakeside. Looks like the one year strength in depth will pay off, whether planned or due to circumstances!

What, don't arrive early and bring your own sustenance!

They've been like that for the last 15 years but we were treated better when Bratley was doing the negotiating and then Frost/Mahoney/Oakes/Swales had the wads to get their way on plenty of occasions I'd imagine. It's only the last 5 years that the tide has changed for whatever reason and unhelpful issues occur on a more frequent basis.

Not really. Pretty basic stuff to have event catering at an event. It's somebody's fault that it wasn't there, even though the EoES call the shots on this as far as we know. Somebody who arrived early must have noticed. It's not the end of the world but unfortunately is a touch mickey mouse looking which is a tad unfair.

But that's fine when you know but when was the last time you went to an event when catering was AWOL without good reason or notice?

Nobody has ever mentioned silence in that respect and nobody is asking for a running commentary. When the ambulance has moved off track and is sitting well behind the pits then I doubt that that is the case at the EoES anyway. Of course life is more important than entertainment and thankfully life threatening and/or very serious injuries are rare, so for the most part it is entertainment with paying customers to keep happy as well as ensuring that injured riders get treated promptly.

That's the problem during lengthy delays, people assume without actually knowing what the situation is. The one time that a roving mic and meaningful information would be useful and when I've been there it doesn't happen, although I bet thank you for your patience was uttered two or 3 times.

The bit I don't get is when and why it became necessary to transfer to a County ambulance. Fortunately I wasn't at this so not affected but I have spent plenty of time sitting waiting on other occasions. I remember when, if there was a big crash, the ambulance would either drive round to the medical room at the back of the stand if my recollection is correct, or you'd see it driving out with blue lights flashing on its way to A&E. Surely the priority for injured riders in pain is to get them to hospital asap. Waiting for another ambulance is silly in such circumstances if that has to be the procedure. If we have two ambulances then logic dictates that one could go to A&E without delay. That's not a go at the club who do their bit if what you say is correct. What does need a bit more explanation is the reason for the convoluted procedure.

We know. It says so in the news item: " But victory over the Witches on Sunday will give the T.Balfe Construction Panthers the best record of any of the second-placed clubs, and therefore they would take the last place in the semi-finals." - which bit don't you understand?

Most teams are these days anyway even when at apparent full strength.

Don't understand the last point but for the record:

Piers Morgan‏ @piersmorgan - Welcome back Flappy Didn't know that he followed us

club supremo Rathbone (yup, YTS doing the ET press) said: “We spoke to Jack who would have fitted in as a replacement for Edward, but there were too many fixture clashes for him to even be able to consider it".

Thought that you'd be pleased Rodders? If it was important and efficiently organised the you'd have had Holder back
