Numerous reruns, extensive tractor breaks, lengthy interval and topped off with a start light failure. If I was a newbie today, I would never go to speedway again. I'd lost the will to live by 6pm!
A very good meeting last night, probably the best of the season at arena. The stars were half a lap away from going into the last race level, but ended up losing by eleven!
i fear that the PL is in a similar state to the EL, but without the SKY money. Falling crowds coupled with spiralling riders wages, just add to problems facing the whole sport in this country.
has It been wet enough over your way for an early call off shads. I'm only 20 miles south of you, where it's been bone dry all day. In fact it's been warm with sunny spells this afternoon.
You only have to look at the progress of the rye house rookies compared to their kent counterparts. Sure they still fall off a lot, but they are starting to win races. Tonight danno verge was the only lower order king who looked likely to score any points.
i totally agree with you, at times yesterday the riders visibility must have been poor. What's needed at eastie is a proper water tanker, as well as the crop sprayer that they already use.
I remember many moons ago watching alan guest for Wimbledon at perry Barr. He was very hard on andy, who was riding for the brummies at the time. No brotherly love on that occasion!
