They forecast that on Thursday which resulted in the King's Lynn v Sheffield meeting being called-off, yet what we got was quite minimal.

They've only redeclared the team with todays date, and nothing by the side of the team name stating a different date. Therefore they must have been guest riders in the meeting against Peterborough. Finally settled........................or is it????

You can't trust the weathermen, but they got it wrong this time. I was in King's Lynn this morning, and they had some rain, but nothing that Buster couldn't have put right trackwise. Here in Heacham which is 13-miles away, just a light shower, plus bits of sunshine. But they made the right call in postponing it, because the forecast was bad. Sods law really.

The way things are going, there might not be much more than that anyway..............or will there?

Bit of a mess isn't it.

Almost one week on, and still no redeclaration showing., so I'm guessing Cook & Starke must have been guests last Thursday.

Thanks Neila, wasted my money on a programme....that's life!!

Did Craig Cook and Paul Starke ride as guests, as there is no re-declared list on the British Speedway website?

I don't understand all this stuff, are they showing it on either of their Eurosport Channels? I'm certainly not going to lay out more money to watch it on a mobile phone, we want to see it as a family.

I want to sit and watch it on TV, and as I already have Eurosport available to me through that, I they now saying you've got pay yet more money to watch it through a different sourse, if so, they can stick it. We didn't have this problem with BT Sport.

This weeks Speedway Star has advertised that you purchase the Guide.Programme for the European Championship from Curtis Sports. It goes on to say "Including Racecards to fill in as you watch at home on Eurosport". So I've bought the programme, checked the Eurosport 1 & Eurosport 2 listings for this evening, programme say 6,30pm start, but it doesn't appear to be on. Does anybody know why please?

So am I, despite his problems from time to time, he's still one of the better British riders based in this country. I was amazed and disappointed to see his departure from King's Lynn, although there might have been very good reasons for that. Although he's joined our rival club, I hope he does a very good job for Ipswich Speedway, and wish him nothing but the best going forward.

The BSPL should come out and give an open and HONEST explanation, because at the moment, it seems like victimisation for no reason. Riders aren't stopped from Grass Track Racing or for clubs and events overseas. For whatever reason, this sounds like a personal vendetta without hearing both sides of the story. Nobody on the IOW, whether it be management, sponsors or the public deserve to be treated like this, just because they have the balls to want to try something different. They depend to a large degree on the holiday trade, on an island that has almost zero entertainment for families in the evening, other than walking round Tesco that stays open until 10.00pm. Speedway has stood still for years now, and needs freshening up, and if something different from 15-races and the announcer saying goodnight, thanks for coming can be improved upon, then let them try. So many times these days, people have never heard of speedway, let alone seen it, and if they decide to check it out whilst on holiday (I know I would, as I did with a sport on Guernsey), and enjoy it, then when they return to their respective homes, they might just check out to see if there is a track near to where they live, and go along, and all clubs could do with those extra newcomers through their gates. So come on BSPL, ask for your toys back that you seem to have thrown out of your pram, and work with this promotion to see if their ideas are going to be for the betterment of the sport, and if it's not, then it will be their loss not yours. We've all been in lockdown for a long time now, and if this club want to offer us a different type of motorcycle event, with the main thing being speedway, then they should be applauded for trying to bring our well being back into some sort of normality.

Okay, thanks.

Masks weren't worn at Wolverhampton last night, so it seems clubs are making their own rules on that one.

Such sad news, and I feel absolutely gutted for all the Somerset supporters.

The website needs updating a bit George, it still says Kevin Doolan is captain!!

Good to see that Kevin Doolan is still captain..............well that's what the website says

Has he arrived in the UK yet? I've read somewhere today, that neither him or Jordan Stewart are riding at King's Lynn on Monday, but don't know how true that is.

Only stadium where that rule applies I think.

I'm told it's £2 to sit in the grandstand, but that hasn't come from an official source.

Thank goodness sense has prevailed. It means that when my wife feels well enough, which sadly isn't very often anymore, at least she'll be able to see some racing at a track she enjoys. Thanks to those who pushed for this, and the management for doing a u-turn.

Good Luck Bullets, and safe evening to both sets of riders.

That's fair enough Bagpuss, I respect what suits you.

I think what they've got lined up is mega, with so much variety on offer. I know the majority of speedway fans around the country only like league racing and play-off's, and turn their backs on challenge matches. I can never really understand that, although I respect their thoughts, but at the end of the day, there are four riders on track, risking their lives to entertain us, and whatever the type of competition, it's exactly the same thing us punters are watching. So whilst I will continue to enjoy watching meetings on the mainland, I shall certainly enjoy the attractive package they are providing for their customers when I visit the island, and I wish them all the luck in the world in this forward thinking venture.
