So, Simon scored more points than Nicolai Klindt, Jason Edwards and David Bellego(Sheffield). He scored as many points as Michael Palm Toft & Frederik Jakobsen and if you included bonus points, he was better than those two. So, of the 14-riders on display, he was better than a third of them. I never make comments on here with regarding the rights and wrongs of what managements are doing at any club, but the comments I'm reading about Messrs Chapman, Allitt & Brady on both the King's Lynn & Peterborough sites, are in my opinion, cause to make them walk away, hence the closure of both clubs. DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT? Of course everyone has the right of freedom of speech, but don't you think it would be better to be done in a more productive way, rather than continually slagging people off that are putting a lot of money into keeping the sport alive at those two venues. Do you really, with hand on heart, want to risk losing the sport you love, forever, because that's what would happen, then your only choice of watching the sport without travelling to the Midlands and beyond, would be Ipswich & Mildenhall? Just for this one time only, do I think the team that has been put together at KIng's Lynn is good, then no I don't. Did they have enough money to put better teams out, if I include Peterborough, only they know that, so I can't be critical on that point. Do I have the answers to solving the obvious problems, no I don't thankfully, as I'm not putting thousands of pounds into clubs in to trying to entertain us all. I know that you will probably start slagging me off now, but BRING IT ON, because it seems that all the British Speedway Forum is designed to these days, is look at negatives instead of praising positives. I'll close my posting by saying, please continue supporting your respect clubs, and show some respect towards those who run them. Okay, so fire away if you want, but I will not react to any of them. Enjoy your sport.

Is this one of your 'Happy Days'

What makes you think Buster wants to concentrate on football??

Lets wait and see what Simon scores first. He's seldom let the club down when riding in the reserve berth, and certainly never gives up, even when he's last..

Don't think you'd post on that one for that particular meeting Mr Neutral.

Oh hello, it's you, you've popped up on here now!!! A chap from Highways tells me that you weren't exactly a neutral, as you were supporting one particular rider!!!! With regards to the no overtaking and general track conditions, the same comments are being made about Oxford last night. Must be something to do with global warming. Have a nice day, and I'll see you on the Ipswich site tomorrow.

Never the less, IT IS STILL RUNNING. Well done to Redcar for allowing that to happen, and shame on tracks that would fall in the Midlands area, give or take a few miles, won't give youngsters the same chance. I realise that they have to rely on parents/guardian taking them everywhere, so maybe that's the reason. But if it is, why does the NJL manage to operate okay?

But surely in the case of Peterborough and Wolverhampton, that can't be put down to self interest.

This is terrible news for everybody involved in any shape or form at Wolverhampton. It's terrible news for speedway altogether, especially as Peterborough are going too. It's been pretty obvious that speedway as we know it, is dying a death, but you expect that to happen when the promoters pull the plug, and for them to have the rug pulled from under them. You obviously can't run a Premiership league with 5-teams. Everybody has a turn at slagging off promoters etc; throughout the season, but my heart goes out to all of them, trying to come up with a workable solution to this bombshell.

I wonder why, because they do with the MDL. Could it because results are changed after the referee has sent his official programme in?

Really enjoyed reading that, and completely agree with all you say. I was impressed to see that Sir Sidney liked it. Who the hell is he, and where has he suddenly popped up from, as I've never seen any of his posts on here????????????????????

Why are people posting on a Mildenhall 2022 site, when there is a Mildenhall 2023 site to post on?

I'm sure if Jim McGregor send the fixtures to Speedway Star, they will get printed.

A good start for the Suffolk side yesterday, with Ben Trigger at No 3 with his 9+1 looking particularly impressive. William Richardson failed to score, but it wasn't for lack of racing in his NDL debut, and he showed bags of potential. Without doubt, it will take a good side to beat them at West Row this season. MILDENHALL 53: Alfie Bowtell 14 Lee Complin 12+2 Ben Trigger 9+1 Arran Butcher 7+2 George Congreve 6+2 Josh Warren 5+1 William Richardson 0 KENT 37: Connor King 12 Ben Morley 11 Tom Woolley 6 Joe Alcock 3+2 Rhys Naylor 3 Sam Woolley 1+1 James Laker (Guest) 1

I've known Dick for years, he's a good guy. With regards to coming to Berwick, I've been twice from my Norfolk home, only to arrive for rain-off's both times. Enjoy your season, and hope the Bandits lift some silver.

I'm not an Ipswich fan, and follow King's Lynn, But Danny was a very well deserved winner.

I have to disagree with you about it being a crap meeting, there was some excellent racing at times, and I thought Danny King was a deserved winner. The junior racing was also very good considering their ages, and Neil Vatcher must be congratulated for the effort he puts into this level of racing. The Veterans was obviously just a nostalgia thing, but part of history of our sport. I do agree with you about the endless displays between heats, they were far to long. I wish Dick Barrie hadn't kept speaking on the centre concrete for so long at a time, thus making it a rush for Kevin Moore to read out the results and times. Just one thing mate, when giving the times, can you keep your voice raised please, as many of us around where I was, and you know where, just couldn't catch them. Just a request please, thanks buddy. I disagree with FinalBendThree, I was bloody frozen in the latter stages of the meeting. But hey ho, whatever our differing thoughts, the season is underway, and I hope bags of money was made. Have a good year, whoever you support.

I agree. It's a tough one to call, but like you, I think Ipswich will just edge it.

Fair enough.

Give the poor lad a chance. Nobody knows until he starts racing for the club.

Oh Sir Sidney, you're letting the side down. What does the 'R' stand for?

The public have never supported speedway at NDL at King's Lynn, so with money being so tight for people in general at the moment, I'd be surprised if that happened.

Lets keep everything crossed that Mildenhall can be a part of the NDL this coming season. Ryan Kinsley, Arran Butcher, Ben Trigger along with some of the 2022 line-up, would be a good side.

10th & 17th arrived for me too.

Count your blessings, I'm nearly 80.
