False dawn

I must admit, I was more than a touch surprised. But I was reminded of the time that Bomber was dropped by Leicester and then he was seen chatting to Stuart Dickson a week or two later. It was said at the time that you can't afford to bear a grudge; it's too small a community. If Nick Morris came in and started scoring anywhere near the points Luke was putting on the board, I suspect people would have very short memories.

I get where you're coming from. However, BZ only scored 2 more than Dan did last night, in the Warsaw GP.

All that you say is true. However, it can't be good that some fans did not get into the temporary stand until heat 5. This was despite a large reduction in the security checks being carried out at about 6:30. And although I didn't try them myself, massive queues for food and drink doesn't please a lot of folks. Mark Lemon pulling pints is commendable but hardly a good advert for the behind the scenes organisation. But what a speedway meeting? The racing was breathtaking in many races. I was there and I can't remember a meeting with so many close races. And given the uncertain weather forecast the track staff are to be applauded (Phil Morris did come over to track staff on the 3rd bend after the meeting and did appear to give his thanks). It's hard to see how tonight's meeting can top that. But hey, I'll be glued to my TV (can't be there in person).

I've got a note in my diary - 12th July

Not sure if it's significant but there is a qualifying programme on Friday on Discovery+ but not on Saturday.

Forget the past. Bomber is value for money wherever he rides. And let's just exam the facts. He was that close to being crowned British Champion on the same track the GPs are going to be run.

From the reports Ace Pijper pulled up (slowed, at least) in Heat 12 whilst leading. How bad is that?

Likewise. I'm sure someone will put us right, but a "Dried Off" is a new one on me as well.

I'm ever so tempted..... But I'll resist. 😁

You're completely right of course. Unfortunately there is a significant percentage that enjoy watching their team get 5-1 after 5-1. I've subscribed to a full BSN pass this year (for the first time) so I've been watching a lot of speedway, much of it as a neutral. As others have noted, there has been too many one sided meetings this year. Not what I call entertaining "racing".

That comment feels like déjà vu. We're back to talking about the GP scoring system if we're not careful (which has move even further away from this principle this year - qualify 10th and still have a chance of winning the meeting 😕)

You're assuming that the Berwick management knows more. The impression is that Craig has just gone to ground.

Where did you see that news? It's a shame, because Erik is going really well just now and is entertaining to watch.

Thanks. I don't need the Live Updates now 🤣

I would like to follow this meeting on Live Updates. But it appears they don't have a texter. Can anyone help them out?
