This could now cause a fairly hefty financial loss for the sport. These showpiece events need to be on a Sunday afternoon when more people can travel to them, as so many people work all day on a Saturday. I know a lot do on a Sunday too, but I doubt that there are such vast numbers working on that day. Gutted at having to miss it.

Now the meeting has been moved to Stoke, that's two customers lost to the event.

Thanks very much Lenny

Yes, the track and racing at Peterborough is the best I can ever remember, and it would be fantastic if the same could happen at the AFA.

What time do the gates open on Sunday for the meeting against Stoke please, and how much are NL programmes? Thank you.

With Simon being local and having a lot of friends etc., in the area, he definitely puts extra bums on seats, does a very good job, especially around the AFA, and a more loyal clubman would be hard to find. For me, I'd like to see him back in the side......just my opinion.

It's a pain in the backside with Speedway Star not publishing the times this year, but here is what you want, in heat order. 58.81; 59.53; 59.79; 58.47; 58.50; 58.31; 59.22; 60.16; 59.16; 59.25; 58.88; 58.97; 59.87; 59.16 and 59.25

Yep, 15-minutes to complete that race, and why do riders need to return to the pit gate for mechanical adjustments, each time it gets stopped for a tapes infringement. I think the time allowance in circumstances like that, should be one minute, and not the customary two. I agree with some comments about various racing lines having disappeared, which has reduced some of the excitement, but as Buster said, he's still working on that, and hopefully will be sorted soon, so Panthers fans can enjoy the racing they are accustomed too. Having said that, after Belle Vue, I still think it's the next best racing strip in the Premiership by a country mile. As for the meeting, I did enjoy it very much, and it was a sheer joy to see Kasper Andersen perform in the way that he did for King's Lynn, and hope that gives him the confidence to now move forward with his career. Will I return to the East of England Arena again this season, the answer is no. Tractor racing after Heats 2, 4, 7 and 10 (this admittedly was part of a 13-minute interval) just doesn't float my boat, and from a racing point of view, it didn't need it. I notice Hans N Andersen said in his programme notes, there are times the track shouldn't be graded, and that they need to be a bit more shrewd !! Mildenhall raced on a blistering hot afternoon the previous day, but didn't have to resort to these sort of delays, and produced some good racing. On top of that, we had a delayed start to allow late comers to get into the stadium, with one of the reasons being mentioned was the local football match. POPPYCOCK, would the football match have been delayed if some of the public had not been inside the ground at the scheduled kick-off time, of course they wouldn't, so why should the speedway? Totally unfair on those that had been inside the East of England Arena at 4.30pm when the gates opened. If the football kicked off at 3.00pm (I don't know if it did), it would have been over by approximately 4.45pm, which leaves more than enough time to get a couple of miles or so up the road to their next sporting choice. Just not acceptable for me I'm afraid. Anyway, I hope both clubs go on to enjoy a good season, and thanks for the entertainment between delays.

Thank You.

Does anybody know what time the turnstiles open this afternoon please?

It was a healthy crowd, but not as large as I thought it would be. Next Monday will be better against Ipswich I would have thought.

Hopefully not collecting the money at the gate, otherwise the queue up the road ain't half going to be long, especially if those that have told me that they intend handing over a £1 in 1 pence pieces carry out that threat, which of course is silly.

Maybe it's request from the Showground for some reason or another....just a thought.

As a non-mobile phone user myself, I assume the majority that are, have to be on contract to get wifi, but those that have just a bog standard Pay-as-you-Go phone and text facility, are unable to take part in the voting. Many older people in particular can't afford these sort of packages, and that includes myself, as much as I'd like to be able to, as I feel left out.

I hope it's in the morning, so we don't have to waste the day sitting around waiting, then we can do something else with our Easter Monday as well.

I find National Development League meetings produce better excitement than the SGB Premiership more often than not, with times of course being slower. So I agree 100% with you on that one Star Lady.

Maybe Niels-Kristian Iversen would help out short term.

Yes, I do realise that.

I always find the SS an excellent and enjoyable read, even though you can find a lot of details on the internet before it's published. Same can be said for Newspapers, Ladies magazines such as Hello, almost any type of magazine in fact. Someone said in an earlier posting that they thought it was overpriced (I think that is what was said, but apologise if it wasn't) at £3, but in comparison with anything you purchase off the book/paper shelf in your newsagent or supermarket, it's par for the course. If we want to talk about things being overpriced, then that has to be speedway programmes surely. Speedway Star at £3 has got to be far greater value for money than a Speedway Programme at £3. Most clubs programmes have a page written or ghost written by more than one of its management team, all saying the same thing about that you've already read on the internet, to quote other posters on here. You have a Supporters Club Page that is the same every meeting, with the exception of a few lines. You have Rider Profiles that are generally lifted from the British Speedway Website. You have Guest writers who contribute their thoughts on various matters, some current, some talking about things that happened 30+ years ago, and so it goes on. They do provide excellent photos from people like Phil Hilton, Steve Hone, Derek Leader and many others, but so does the Speedway Star. So the 2019 line-up has finally been confirmed, which I can see some people are happy with, whilst others are not, but that's human nature, and I'd be surprised if any club in the country could say that every last one of its supporters is happy with their named line-up, although Berwick seem to be an exception to that rule usually. Am I happy with our line-up for this season....yes. I would like to have seen a new face to support Robert, but it obviously wasn't meant to be, so the curent side will get my 100% support.

Oh dear Clive, I know and agree where you are coming from, but not another anthem like that damn silly King's Lynn one we had last season.

I wish Valentin the very best of luck having been given the chance to race in this country, but what a kick in the teeth for riders like Mason Campton and Simon Lambert who have no club to ride for, through no fault of their own.

I haven't been able to get any riders points for 2010 I'm afraid, so this is from 2011 onwards.

Simon Lambert is a loyal club man, and excellent in the pits with other riders. He's British and deserves a punt.

Phil, I can find records dating back to 2011, but I believe the NJL started in 2010 didn't it? If so, do you know where I can locate the results and scorers?

Hi don't think I have any records prior to 2012. I will at some point have a look at doing what you want from 2012 onwards, but it won't be immediate.
