False dawn

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?

It does seem that Mark Lemon is hinting there was a "mechanical issue" that hit the whole BV team. To me, this can only mean a bad batch of methanol e.g. a bit old, which means there could be absorbed water from the atmosphere. What's the current ruling about the fuel both teams use. Is it mandated that they use a common source or do they provide their own? Obviously, if everyone uses the same fuel, it is odd that only one team is badly affected.

I guess it's the right time of year for old chestnuts. And that has to be the oldest.

"pay off" sounds bad. I assume this was a typo for "play off" 😱

I am downsizing and won't have the space for my 2-3000 speedway programmes. The collection is primarily from the 70's, 80's and 90's. Nearly all Coventry home and away, a lot with local press reports. There are other world championship meetings etc. and a small number of older Coventry programmes. I don't want anything for this cherished collection. I just want it to go to a good home rather than a skip. If the possible owner wanted to make a donation to NSSC (in support of youth speedway riders) that would be a bonus.

Boring so far

Any news on Mikkel Michelsen?

Should that be "we"?

Look I'm a nerd, not a masochist

You're right, of course. Still a good record.

I've just read on the FIM website that Bartosz Zmarzlik had made the GP semis 52 times straight. A run that was ended at Cardiff. Well I thought it was pretty astounding.

You heard it here first.

Boy. No one can say this is an easy route to the GP series.

They could show it delayed by a couple of hours

£20 to see Oasis. Sweet.

I'm sorry, but a professional commentator has a duty to study the prevailing rules. This is useful for the casual viewing and getting it wrong just makes you look foolish to the "expert" viewer. I had to laugh when KT said Mark Lemon may consider sending Jake Mulford off 15m after his two minute infringement in heat 2.

or was it Jason Cook? 🙃

And Olly Allen is joining in as well 🤪
