I think Summers lent him his.

I'd never seen that before and thought it was just Watters inventing a new rule but I'm probably wrong, as usual. I'm sure someone will let me know!

Those were a couple of the events I was thinking of. Thanks for your support Orion.

Awfully sorry I had an opinion and expressed it there!

Question-why do we always have to have that plank Watters refereeing Swindon v Coventry matches, he always tries to spoil them with his "I'm bigger than the riders attitude." Thankfully, his attempts to scupper Swindon's chances went pop in the end but I would be very grateful if he never refereed another match at the Abbey, old or new!

Commented what a cracking meeting it was when in attendance last night-great entertainment throughout-I personally thought we were in for a tough match but the top 5 were generally a class apart!

Yes but what does POKC actually stand for? I must be missing something (possibly a brain) but I can't work out what it means. Edit: Ooops should have read to the end before asking an obvious question! Thanks Shale Searcher.

Actually, thinking about it RR is correct-rent is due once the public are admitted, hence long queues in the rain or a long boring sit in the car watching it and praying for it to stop, if it's dodgy between 6 & 7.

Gentle rain at 2:40pm!

See post no 60 in Swindon's New Stadium thread, it never rains in posh, leafy Lechlade!

If we are going to have a new stadium can we have one with a roof, please? Then I can get my fortnightly fix of speedway without having to sit looking out of the window with no rain and no match in prospect because we might get some later!

This has got nothing to do with saving away fans a wasted trip. If they call it off early, they avoid stadium rent and can stop the foreign riders getting on a plane and thus costing them wasted travel expenses! I am writing this at 1:50pm and still no rain!

Not so, Josh Grajzonek is guesting for him!

Cheeky bugger!

All their home meetings are usually at home!

Well I, for some unfathomable reason, paid a visit to Blunsdon Market today and unless I was looking in totally the wrong place, could see no evidence of any preparation for the new stadium! (Worried of Lechlade.)

Pleasantly surprised me!

Just texted Phil Rice who works on the track prep and he says "Meeting will be on. Track needs more water! Rain ceases at 4pm and just dull afterwards." Tell your mates and let's pack the Abbey for this one!

Sorry, but I have a nasty feeling that we will be paying £1 a race tonight-raining on and off at the moment!

Friggers tells it as it is, as usual-well done, mate!

What was it like?

Surely there was a reason, otherwise it would have been madness and while I agree there is a bit of that about Rosco, I'll leave you to work out why he had to drop Kyle.

Why oh why hold this behind closed doors? There is precious little Speedway going on this year and I for one would have been interested in watching it. It was so say promoted by Colin Pratt. What's to promote?

At last some league Speedway at the Abbey this Thursday-probably lost the impetus of the £5 entry for the last home meeting but at least us diehards will be there! Any thoughts?

Should've flooded the track!
