The presenter. I think. Who's the one at Leicester who waffles on forever about rubbish. I switched off very quickly to listening to him last time at Leicester, which is why I'm a bit vague. I much preferred the tractor driver who was going around at around 0.05mph, at which point Glyn Taylor jumped into the tractor and pushed the other guy aside! That was much more entertaining!! All the best Rob Nonsense. Yorkie got the whole crowd buzzing at Oxford in the 1980s. Actually those days, we were buzzing even before he started. But he got us going even more. As general manager at Birmingham, a co-promoter at Oxford, and manager of the BSPA, he's probably the most knowledgeable mic man there's ever been. We never gave Yorkie any stick. We treated his sucessor at Cowley, Mike Bennett, slighlty less kindly (I think poor old Mike, who isn't that bad to be fair, lists his time at Oxford as one of the low points of his time in speedway). All the best Rob

Yorkie is a legend - stop talking rot. One presenter who truly knows masses about the sport. Knows his speedway inside out, does Yorkie! Worst announcer has to be that guy at Leicester, he's awful. All the best Rob

Date now confirmed as Sunday, September 15th (3pm) - Scunthorpe vs Sheffield. All the best Rob

I liked the fanfare, simply because the effect it had on that chap. All the best Rob

Shadders, Josh was carrying a shoulder injury after Jason Bunyan caused him to fall in Heat 5. It's why Josh didn't come out in Heat 15.. All the best Rob

Who? All the best Rob

The "nickname" I've heard most fans on the terraces call Ryan Fisher is not repeatable on here. All the best Rob

Well Ryan Douglas certainly is "Flyin" But it IS his nickname - Flyin' Ryan Douglas All the best Rob

Looking foward to this tomorrow, and whether Flyin' Ryan can keep up his recent fantastic form. All the best Rob

Rob G announced on Monday it would be contested by the top six from each side. In which case, it's the traditional Rider Of The Night format, which was 3 qualifying races, and then a final contested by the 3 heat winners, plus the fastest second place rider (the announcer used to give two times for the three qualifying races, one for the winner and one for the second place rider). All the best Rob

About as obvious as that Leicester could use a tactical ride in Heat 12 on Monday. All the best Rob

Straight after the 30 seconds had been officially announced. It was obvious to everyone that it was a joke and there was plenty of time left. Stop making excuses - you lost, end of. All the best Rob

Don't talk daft. It's up to the team manager to spot while the two mintues is still on. If the yellow lights are flashing, then get the rider on the track pronto. Quite often, a rider will be given a minute or so even though 30 seconds remains, if the ref can see the rider is on their way. Don't give up until that rider's exclusion light has come on. All the best Rob

Shadders, well the Plymouth fans have given Rasmus Jensen the nickname of "Razzer". There is ONLY one Razzer - one of my favourite riders of all-time All the best Rob

Ah, Thomas Jorgensen is Tommy THE Gun, not Tommy Gun. All the best Rob

Where did I say that? Don't twist words. All the best Rob

I've heard it all now :rofl: Are you for real? The centre green presenter is there to keep the fans informed and to add a little in the overall entertainment stakes. With his inner knowledge of speedway and irreverent and witty style, Rob G certainly fits those critieria. Most centre green presenters are a little bland; Mr Godfrey is certainly not that. And if you seriously think any ref is actually going to be influenced by something said over the mic, then I don't know quite what to say. I'd be slightly more concerned, if I were you, over the lack of any tactical rides on Monday. All the best Rob

Shadders, if you've seen TJ fly around as many opponents as I have around the EWR, you'd be aware that doesn't really fit. No, Thomas Jorgensen is Tommy The Gun. Tommy Allen will just have a get new nickname. Not sure what it should be. In Olly's case it would be easy. It would just be Olly Allen R/R, because that's what most people think his name actually is, because that's what normally appears in the programme. All the best Rob

Tommy The Gun = Thomas Jorgensen All the best Rob

Scunny don't actually have much riding on this match - just pride. It would be great if we could finish the Premier League campaign with five straight victories. Looking forward to a double-helping of Tommy The Gun All the best Rob

What did you make of Auty's exclusion from Heat 8? I thought he jumped the start in the second attempt to stage the race, but no way did he cause Bjerre to fall. Halifax match was quite interesting, with Wayne Carter's races against Matt Williamson and Danny Phillips. All the best Rob

Interesting tactical moves as well... or rather lack of them. All the best Rob Yep, something went wrong, the riders were at the tapes for too long. All the best Rob

PLEASE continue to check the press for details for the next meeting at the Eddie Wright Raceway. Promoter Rob Godfrey was hoping for the next meeting to take place on Friday, September 6, but this is now unlikely, as an opposing team cannot be found for this date. The next meeting now may take place on September 13, or possibly another date. Details will be revealed on the club’s official website and in the press in due course. Godfrey is planning home-and-away challenge matches against local rivals, the Sheffield Tigers. There is also the possibility of challenge fixtures against the Leicester Lions. The challenge matches at the Eddie Wright Raceway are planned to take place over the popular 13 heat formula that operated in the 70s and 80s, with old-style tactical substitutes, plus a Rider-Of-The-Night competition in the second half.

Weather looking good for this afternoon. And don't forget to bring your pennies (notes if you like!), because Scunny are doing their Ben Fund collection this afternoon. All the best Rob
