Right folks, I've just come home from Leicester and if you intend going to Peterborough tomorrow, be warned. June 27 for 13-nights the A 47 is closed from Guyhirn through to the dual carriageway from 8pm onwards. So you will need to come home on the Snail Trail through Whittlesey. Then when you get back to the pullover roundabout at Lynn, I don't have a clue what's going on between there and the Hardwick, but it looks a bloody mess, with loads of speed cameras. I know it was closed on Friday at 9pm when I passed so am assuming that it still the case.

I agree, and I fear the worst might have happened particularly to Paul Starke last night but for the air fence.

It's about time somebody told Troy Batchelor you have to ride anti-clockwise, what a waster. On the plus side, Jason Doyle rides in a different postcode most of the time. Sheer class in this league.

I'm not criticising anybody's comments, because you are obviously all entitled to your own thoughts. What I will say, is you like your sport, which is why you go, and share your views on here, irrespective of what I might agree or otherwise with. But what I would say is that please be grateful you/we still have a stadium to watch that sport we enjoy in, unlike the poor Newcastle supporters suddenly. Also the possibility that Birmingham, Edinburgh & Peterborough could all be nothing more than history next year. Yes, we're not getting the results that we want as supporters of our particular club, and yes, certain riders aren't doing as well as we think they are capable of. But like us, they are all human beings that have the same everyday problems in life like all of us, and we don't know how they feel on any given night. They put their lives on the line so that we can have an evening out doing what we like doing, and if their points are low, their wage packet is lower than they'd want, so their below par performances at the moment, aren't something they want or enjoy. Changing the subject. Regarding the comment Bald Bloke made about a foul mouthed woman shouting out the word of paedophile at a rider, is totally unacceptable, as is the few people on the home straight laughing and cheering because Craig Cook was forced to retire from the meeting through injury. I heard comments about the way he walked out on King's Lynn, and that's why they didn't like him. Pathetic even if that had been the case, but it wasn't, he was released, or sacked which ever way you want to put it. He didn't let the club down. We've got the Premiership Pairs coming up in 2-weeks time, where we are joint leaders, so lets get behind the riders who represent us that night, and show the team your support for the rest of the campaign, both on good nights and poor nights.

Good luck everyone for tomorrow and the rest of the season. You've put a very interesting and entertaining package of events together again, well done to you all.

They would be in the Speedway Star if the results were forwarded to them. All the other Amateur results are.

BassoRacingFan thinks different, and maybe he's right, but I agree with you. We will have to see how many kids this genius idea brings through the turnstiles I guess.

Oh, okay.

Match result 45-45 Superheat 6-3 League Table Result 3-1 I can't understand why people don't take our sport seriously.

I'm pleased Peterborough have won, but think this Superheat is a crazy idea. Might as well have a penalty shoot out after every drawn football match.

Thanks Tellboy, I've decided to not bother. Appreciate your help,

I think the A47 between Guyhirn & King's Lynn is closed somewhere Steve.

LOL...I didn't say which team I wanted to come and support

Fair enough thanks.

Would Stefan Nielsen qualify, as he was riding No 6 for Sheffield, before they dumped him for a rider that is probably no better?

I know this might be a long shot question, but with the Highways Agency using their usual lack of intelligence, parts of the A47 are closed at night from 8.00pm onwards, which coincides with long running works at Sutton Bridge on the A17 with it's traffic problems. Apart from hiring a helicopter, can anybody suggest a route from Peterborough to King's Lynn, without having to drive 15-20 miles out of my way please?

I wanted to watch the Belle Vue v Ipswich meeting on my Discovery+ App last night, but it kept freezing so it wasn't at all enjoyable. I only recently decided to switch to this service, and have paid an annual subscription, but am disappointed and won't renew, as I never had any problems with freezing and such like when I watched Eurosport through my BT package.

This tractor racing is becoming more tedious nearly everywhere, and it's really peeing people off now. At Peterborough last night, it only came out once all evening, and times and quality of racing, albeit mostly from Wolverhampton, were all in the 58.0+ bracket with the exception of Heats 12, 14 & 15 with the slowest being 59.1 which proves we don't need tractors every four races, if the weather is okay, and the track has been prepared properly in the first place. Interesting comment by Michael Palm Toft in the programme interview, when he says "My thoughts on the state of British Speedway is that there are some changes coming which I hope will improve it for all of us. I truly think to make changes to take a significant step forward would be to move from an amateur sport to a professional sport in Britain - that would really improve the sport here". Now I wonder what that's all about?????

60.35, 60.85, 61.06, 60.37, 60.69, 60.50, 61.59, 61.41, 61.34, 61.38, 61.47, 62.25, 61.94, 61.82 & 62.44

Is everybody getting all these damn adverts from companies like SHEIN appearing between postings? It doesn't matter how many times you block them, they still appear!!

Although Peterborough were poor in some departments, I actually thought that was the best racing we've seen at King's Lynn this season, and to me, proves the track doesn't really need grading every few heats.. Mr Basso certainly races with all guns blazing!! I think Lewi being dumped by Ulrich, fired him up, and he was superb all evening. Lovely to see. 10/10 to David Watters for keeping his finger on that 2-minute button throughout the evening, it kept the meeting flowing beautifully. I was home in time for Cocoa and a Custard Cream, instead of an early breakfast. Now lets sort Ipswich out on Thursday.

Neither. As far as I know, the next meeting being broadcast is a week today from Belle Vue.

Quite a few meetings I attend, people start to leave as soon as the interval comes, which is usually around Heat 11. They've basically got fed up standing around watch the track being graded. I agree about junior races as a second-half attraction, if that's when you meant it to be, and am personally all for that, but history in the modern era shows that the majority of people leave the stadium once the Main Event has finished. So my point, although that's not what your commenting on, is maybe the presenters at these meetings, could ask those leaving two thirds of the way through the meeting, why they are doing so. Maybe it isn't the tractor racing, but I wouldn't mind betting it is.

Or interview those walking out long before the meeting finishes, which you see at quite a few tracks these days. Meetings take far to long to run. Barring accidents, 90-minutes is ample time.

I understand the draw has now been made, but still can't find it anywhere.
