All four riders went down in the same accident in Heat 4, and the remainder of the meeting was abandoned due to the medical team treating Connor Mountain. I assume the result will stand, but I'm sure Main Man will confirm.

Laurence, Sat 19th July should be Stoke v King's Lynn surely. Mike

It's in its rightful place of Individual & Shared Events, where it's received full coverage.

Yep, I agree with those Laurence.

How did you manage to convert them so they read like that, as that's how I posted them originally, as also put onto the BSPA website? I posted them on Facebook too, but they looked dreadful on there?

Laurence, I tried copying and pasting onto the BSF, but for what ever reason, it won't let me do it, so I've e-mailed the details to you, and maybe you can find a way of getting them on here for folk to see. I've copied and pasted them onto Facebook, but as usual, the layout on there looks bloody ridiculous.

I thought the Sheffield home leg was scheduled for Thursday just gone, but whether it happened or not, I don't know. I would think it probably didn't because Main Man is very much on the ball, and I think he's have posted the results by now,

Okay Star Lady, thanks for explaining that.

What's not clear is whether the meetings on the 18th, 26th June & 2nd, 4th July are going to take place either then, as the roads that have affected the meeting against Mildenhall, who would have been coming the easier way compared to the other scheduled teams, are going to suffer the same road closures, as they don't finish until the 7th July. If that is the case, which one would imagine it must be, then Buster must have a good case against the council. What about the Stock Cars too, Keith could be absolutely thousands of pounds out of pocket if the stadium does have to stand empty all that time. Oh dear, not good for him, the supporters or competitors. Damn shame cos although we were without James Cockle tomorrow, and were also using Tony Atkin as a guest, the meeting would have brought in a good crowd with the usual enthusiastic Fen Tigers following. Plus they were using Simon Lambert as a guest, and he always brings a lot of family and friends along.

Thanks for keep us up to date with latest fixture changes. Thank goodness you're about.

Cheers Laurence.

Many thanks for posting these results courtesy of Nigel....TMW.

The match was rained-off on the 12th May, but I'm not aware that we'd agreed to return the following week when Birmingham were the Elite League visitors, Maybe Laurence Rogers, Dale Allitt, Wayne Dunworth or anyone in an official capacity can answer this one.........for both of us.

I can now officially confirm that the results that Lindsay Gray provided me with, are a 100% correct.

I've just spotted that this report clearly shows that Sam Ward took two rides scoring 1+1, but the details that Main Man were given shows the rider scoring one point and no bonus from four rides. So the mystery continues!!

Many thanks to Lindsay Gray for giving his time in digging around for these results for me.

Hi Laurence, Can you confirm please whether it's Jason Garrad or Jason Garrard (his name has been reported this way too)? If it's the former, is he anyway related to former Rye House rider Bobby Garrad? Thanks Mike

Can anybody help me please by posting the heat details from the Stoke v Milton Keynes (MDL) fixture on the 31st May, so that I can update my records. I've been able to locate the details for the other two meetings that Laurence (hope you're feeling better now mate) has posted, but Stoke home meetings seem to be a problem when they stage them.

Tut tut Racin Jason 72, you're running a real danger of contravening psalm 2795, so I'd be very careful what you say, otherwise action could be taken against you

Oh no, please don't say this all going to kick off again!!!! Don't respond Proud Potter, it's not worth it. Boozer, I'm neither in agreement or disagreement with your comments, because I don't know what happens at Stoke. I've been a King's Lynn supporter since 1986 having previously supported Wimbledon since 1958. Needless to say, I've been privileged enough to watch all three levels of racing at the Norfolk Arena during those years, under the promotion of quite a few different people. Some I haven't liked. Some I've liked but not agreed with certain ways they've operated, but at the end of the day, it's their money they are pumping into the club, and they've got a right to run it how they want. As I say, there's been things over the years I haven't liked, and still don't, but none of these things have been aimed at me personally, so its not worth getting worked up over, as life is way to short, and in importance terms of one's well being, speedway or any other entertainment is a minor consideration. I'll be 100% honest here, as you know, King's Lynn operate in the Elite League, and whilst this year due to the Fast Track system, I am quite enjoying it, but prior to this, I hated it, and was gutted when they moved up from the Premier League, as it offers much more variety in terms of more teams and riders. I know for a fact that by speaking to quite a lot of Peterborough fans, that they are delighted their club has moved into the Premier League this season, and as I say, I can understand that, but that's my opinion alone. Also as you'll know, we have a National League team at King's Lynn, and with hand on heart, this is my favourite level of racing, and travel all over the country when finances permit, watching the different clubs race. However, going back to Stoke, if you've suffered personal abuse from anyone in an official capacity at what is now your ex-club, then that is inexcusable. But if someone at the club has responded on the forum to something you may have said that was possibly incorrect, and I'm not pointing any fingers at you before you decide to fire any shots in my direction, then you have to accept that gracefully, and either let it go, or continue the dispute privately. I've been to Stoke quite regularly, both in their Premier League days, and of course now their National League area, and I enjoy the present level of racing the best, but that's just my opinion and I of course respect your opinion if you preferred the Premier League when you used to go. The stadium and facilities are extremely run down, yet in a strange way, that makes the place quite unique, and maybe that's what I like about it. I've certainly always been treated with respect whenever I've visited Loomer Road, and hope that will continue to be the case, although there is one lady who needs to smile a bit!! A few years ago, I had a run in with Proud Potter over an issue at Scunthorpe, in much the same way you are now doing. It started quite innocently and got more and more heated and out of hand, and we both finished up saying things that were neither right nor wrong, and after a lengthy encounter, when we next came face to face, we shook hands with each other and from then on it was history. I've got to know Proud Potter quite well over the years, and he is a good and passionate man who loves his sport, and will defend the club he represents to the hilt, in the same way he would if anyone was throwing any insults at his family, which is something we all would do. Although I don't know you Boozer, I'd like to think that away from this particular dispute, you are a nice human being, and probably are. It's your choice whether you ever decide to go back to Stoke Speedway again, and I hope you do, but if you don't, please for the sake of your integrity, PM Proud Potter and make your peace. Your both passionate people who care about something, and need to discuss your differences without getting nasty, because nobody wins. I wish you well Boozer, and Proud Potter already knows I do him too.

Many thanks for taking the time to explain that Skidder. It's great that there are so many kids about at the moment, and some of them look to have quite substantial potential too. I hope you win the final, especially as I'm good friends with one of your clubs promoters, I'd like it for his sake too. You're all doing a wonderful job, as I think I am when I post as many full MDL results onto the forum. It's a pity that room is isn't available in the Speedway Star to give rider points/ heat details and times for these junior meetings like they used to do with 2nd half results many years ago. Surely that would be of more interest to the true British speedway supporter than having two pages of grasstrack racing.

Bet you didn't have a meal as well though.

I agree with 95% of what Great Central says, the odd 5% being you were lucky at King's Lynn Incidentally, I went on your railway from Leicester North to Loughborough on Sunday, and enjoyed a very nice meal on the platform restaurant in The Sidings when I got back. The night before I stayed at the Premier Inn Central (A50) after having taken in an even lower standard of racing than the National League, that being the British Youth Championship, and what a joy of a meeting to watch. The Leicester public did the meeting proud, although it was a shame that one of the officials on the home straight was causing so much aggrevation resulting in heated arguments between himself and some people sat in the front of one of the stands. It was a case of him applying a rule to some younger people in attendance, but not to those who might have been old enough to fight back. One rule for one, and another rule for another can never be acceptable. Anyway, that aside, the meeting of 45-heats went through in 3-hours (none of these silly long intervals promoters please note!!), and the crowd level was higher than anything I've seen at any National or Premier League track that I've visited in 2014. What really impressed me was that when there was a false start for any reason, the riders returned straight back to the tapes, without any need to put them on 2-minutes. Had it been a 'Big Boys' meeting so to speak, they'd have returned to the pit gate for a virtual engine rebuild, but not the kids, they just wanted to get on with what they were there to do, race and entertain the public. Programmes sold out some considerable time prior to the start. I had a lovely journey home, taking breaks at places like Oakham, Uppingham and the absolutely beautiful village of Barrowden (I want to live there, but it's way to near Peterborough for my liking!!!). Monday morning saw me up bright and early to clean those pesky flies and bugs off the front of my car. It's white in colour you know, and boy does it show the dirt. I could have had a blue car, but do you know, I'm not to keen on that colour . After an early dinner I went off to represent Ringstead Bowls Club in a match against Snettisham, and we won 6-4. Well I say we, but I was a 'ringer' really, because I'm captain of Thornham Bowls Club, and the worrying thing is that we are playing Snettisham this evening. I know questions will be asked, and fingers pointed, something that would never happen at speedway , but I'll claim that the side was re-declared with the authorities late last night. For most of the day, I've been preparing articles for the Berwick & King's Lynn programmes (no snide comments about the KL pamphlet please) as I'm going on holiday at the weekend. I'm off to the Austrian Tyrol you know, and the long range weather forecast reckons it gonna p*ss down, but I don't care, because I've got an umbrella you know. Yes folks, they're on sale in the Track Shop at King's Lynn in a pretty shade of blue and yellow, even though as I mentioned with the car, I'm not keen on the blue part. The yellow is very fresh looking though you know, bit like a King Alfred daffodil, and I once had a yellow car, and it was a Ford Fiesta, but I won't go into that, because I have a white one now if you remember. Great Central might not remember though, because he's not as young as he used to be, but hey, he's a very nice man you know. Salt of the earth some might say you know. By the way, did I tell you I went to Las Vegas in March to see Celine Dion at Caesars Palace. I went on both the Wednesday and Thursday nights, being lucky enough to sit at the front both times, just in case she wanted to look into my eyes you know . But hey that's in the past, and next year I'm going to Texas, and I've already booked you know. On the first day, I'm visiting South Fork Ranch and having a meal there. I don't suppose Sue-Ellen will be there, well I hope not, because I much preferred that other bird, you know, the one that was married to Bobby Ewing. Mmmmmm, they reckon they were married, but can anyone actually remember seeing the ceremony on TV? My personal opinion was that they were living in sin you know , lucky devils. Anyway before that, and before my Austrian holiday (did I tell you about that? Oh yes, I've just looked back and it's gonna p*ss down), I'm meeting up with my mate Jaybea and his lady Ethel (I'd better not tell you about her you know.........well I think its a her.....no on second thoughts......oh I don't know, I'm broad minded so it doesn't matter). I'm looking forward to that, because he waits on me hand and foot, treats me like a bit of an idol you know, but I can't be that, as Ethel fills that role. Okay I'll finish at this point, as I want to go for a wee. I realise this posting has nothing to do with this thread whatsoever, nor even belongs on here, or any other forum come to that, but neither does one hell of a lot of nonsense that has appeared on here these past couple of days. So I'll say toodlepip you know, and be happy as tomorrow may never come. xxxxx
