M.D

Eastbourne fan and only went to Hackney a few times when I was younger and not in the last few years at the track. The outstanding memory for me was going up to see Paul Woods for an England V Denmark meeting, Woodsy was a non riding reserve and didn't get an outing. What caught my eye was a certain Michael Lee, think he got 16 + 1 from 6 rides, he was unbelievable that night.

Having sponsored Kyle from his Eastbourne days and through his Poole and now Plymouth time, That comment got me. Yes I shouldn't have bitten on that post but it did get me. Im sure the poster was only jesting, so no harm meant by the original post, lets move on now..

Well if so it was in extremely poor taste.

Good.

No it's not, it's an accusation of cheating by both club and rider.

I don't post accusations of clubs paying off riders to score Low points to throw a meeting if that's what you mean.

Is it? You want to be very careful what you post on a public forum..

Upto heat 8 and yes your both right, cracking meeting but can't believe the heat 4 call by the ref..

Will watch it now as I missed this was on..

Was there a live stream of this meeting then?

Of course not, illegal

What an uneducated and stupid thing to say.

I like football, I pay money to my club, Bristol City, to listen and watch the streams officially available to me helping put money into my team. I do exactly the same with the excellent service BSN provide for us, I pay my money firstly to watch and secondly to pay for the work they do for us and the sport. Shame on anybody who gets by this on the cheap when the sport needs help.

Thank you

When does the coverage start on discovery + ?

Indeed, I met Pinny once at Cardiff when I was with Shazzybird but met SCB a good few times at various tracks across the UK. I was taken in by his post with only knowing a small amount about his first offence but the subsequent re offending and the full details has made me feel shocked that he had the audacity to come on here and spout off about rehabilitation. Apologises I was taken in by his recent post..

Yeah I didn't know that either, changed my mind now.

It is a really difficult one, what happened was completely unacceptable but should he be given another chance? If he is genuinely remorseful and wants to get his life back on tract then who are we to deny him the opportunity to do this with something he can do well and rebuild his life through it. I agree with SCB, if he did get given another chance then it would need draconian measures on everything he does. Should he be denied this opportunity to potentially rebuild his life? That's a massive question.

SCB, Fair play for coming on here and saying this, I have a lot more respect for you.

Track curation is an art, you can't just lay a new track and expect it to work straight away. Listen to what the riders said last night, it will improve over time once it beds in. They changed the track during one of the wetest winters in history down there, they can't just chuck a load of shale on it and hope for the best, it will take time..

Is it me or does Boughan back off in traffic, that’s what’s caused that spill..

Not a bad GP but what a dreadful track to showplace the event on. Dusty and nothing in it, if you moved off the optimum line you lost ground, nothing there to race with.

So, Mark Seabright doesn't collect him there from Marks Reading base, just wondering.. Im on Doyles side on this one, not one to miss a meeting anywhere without good reason..

I bet Rory's a bit worried about that cloud that was shown on the stream..

RIP John.. Lovely bloke, when I was working for a rider back in the day he always made a point of coming over and saying hello to me despite me being just a spanner for an away rider although we did guest a bit for Ippo..
