Dont be silly Geoff !! Dont you know that the Polish authorities rule the entire speedway world ??? Thought you would have worked that one out by now !!

We know how unpredictable the weather can be, so we had better hope it is just that..but on the BETTER side. Not a good forecast !

Problem is, the heavy overnight rain may well have eased by 8am Saturday (as forecast currently). BUT...the track could be waterlogged by then. And understandably our management dont want to take any financial risks in attempting to run the meeting, when it might have to be be called off on Saturday morning ! On recent trends I would guess we are looking at an early call off...possibly Friday night ! Plus a dull overcast day could well impact on crowd numbers, even if they did run it.

New date for this KOC fixture has been announced....Sat 24th May at 3pm, https://workingtoncomets.com/fixture-update-edinburgh-h/

I have been told by someone that spoke directly with Andrew Bain a few weeks ago, that there are plans to test the idea of later start times in Summer. It appears that one of the July meetings will be trialled to run at 6pm. This would allow people who cant normally go to the 3pm fixture because they are at work, to attend. I think anything is worth a try, to increase attendances !

Would you like to re type that ?

It was absolutely BALTIC on the back straight stand ! I have never felt so cold in my life. Being in the shade all afternoon didnt help. As soon as left the stadium and passed through the entrance gate, the temperature shot up incredibly ! How weird !

He was visually frustrated with his bike from what I saw. He was anxiously rotating the throttle handle at one point. So maybe just bike probs. ?

Answer my question.....can you walk completely round the entire stadium and end up where you started from, without going back on yourself or leaving the stadium ?

He inferred that you can walk "all round", which would mean you can walk completely round the whole stadium. But you cant entirely, as the pits entrance gets in the way. So if you want to walk from bend 2 to the back straight you can either walk back the long way round, via Bends 3 and 4, or you have to leave the stadium by one entrance and enter it by another entrance. Hope this clarifies it.

Not QUITE True Sir ! You still cant walk from the 2nd bend to the back straight without leaving the stadium and re-entering, or you have to walk back the long way round via Bends 3 and 4.

I am not saying it can !

Well, the "dilution of the event" has began already !! It seems that Peter Kildemand will not be participating due to a concussion injury sustained at Oxford ? Wonderful (NOT !)

Any time mate ! lol

Yawn...oh ok Neil, as usual I will have to help you out ! Here you go folks.... https://www.itv.com/watch/news/catch-up-on-itv-news-border-from-tuesday-18th-february/47tff6g (From 0:21:55 onwards) If you need any other help Neil, just let me know 😁

Hark !! I hear the sound of a speedway bike coming from Northside ! I am sure this is the 2nd day running too. Hmm...any idea who it is ?

Name dropper !!

If you hear something at the presentation night, it wont have come from the AGM as it hasnt taken place yet !

Like most people, I would take whatever start time is needed to get more fans down !

You mean Anti's brother as our No7 ??

Please please do NOT bring Sam back. He is a lovely lad, but the Championship is too much for his level. Give someone else a chance, but not Sam.

I believe he is speaking at the Marchon Social Club. One of our regular posters on here is going, but its not my place to say who. (and its NOT me !)

Really ? But some people on here dont like posters writing about their "views" or feelings !! So perhaps the forum guidelines should be that only 100 % pure FACT should be posted ? Just my "view".
