It's not just speedway. I saw him on the grass at the British masters last sunday, he was really struggling.

One word for that tonight, AWFUL. I feel sorry for you Lynn fans having to watch that every week. I'm glad my one visit per season is done and dusted.

Only Rowe, jenkins & Gilkes riding from the original Kent line up that started the season. It's been a terrible season for injuries at Central Park.

It's been a summer of record temperatures and torrential downpours. No good for speedway clubs.

The Panthers certainly look like a team going through the motions. The huge gap in home fixtures has been a disaster.

Easily missed with so much going on!

As a neutral, i never saw Kennett throwing punches, only Cook and Vissing. There was further aggro in the pits during the meeting, but i couldn't be bothered to have a look. I was there to watch a Speedway meeting, not grown men making fools of themselves.

I actually attended this meeting 9 days ago, and saw the incidents first hand, right in front of me. I can't believe this topic has stretched to 51 pages. It was consigned to my memory banks a couple of days later.

1st James Shanes, 2nd Zach Wajtknecht, 3rd Paul Hurrry. Shanes was in a class of his own today, unbeaten all afternoon.

I was at Brum on Wednesday. Wood was flying in his first ride, tailed off in his second and pulled up in his third. Something wasn't right.

I attended my first meeting as a wee lad at Wimbledon in September 1968, and I'm still going strong. I've lost about 20 local tracks in that time, and with the loss of Lakeside and Rye Last year, I'm hanging on by my fingertips. I still go to most of the meetings at Eastbourne and Kent, plus a few on the Island. Add the occasional trip and that's about it. The clock is ticking for me, a couple more closures and the game will be up.

Challenge matches don't count.

Forecasts play a massive part in going to speedway these days, especially for those with long distances to travel.

A promoters nightmare in the peak holiday season. I was thinking of going to the island tonight, but the forecast is too dodgy. I'm glad i made the decision to go to Brum v Eastbourne last night instead.

I always fancied a home win for the Brummies last night, especially against the leagues worst travellers. The dropping of Ben Morley has definitely weakened the Eagles, although it could benefit them in the long term. The track was far too dry at the start, and bumpy in places, but it still managed to produce some decent racing.

I've been to the last two meetings at Poole Sid, and to be fair the track was pretty decent.

I'm giving it a miss tonight, not my cup of tea really. I might have gone if i was local.

Home promoters have always prepared their tracks to suit the home riders. It's been going on since the sport started.

There were plenty of punch ups when i first started going to speedway, but it's a trend that died out with time. Last night was the first brawl I've seen before a meeting has started.

There was a few on the pits bend.

Is that the same track staff member that Craig Cook rode his bike into and then attempted to head butt. Certain people representing Glasgow speedway acted disgracefully tonight and brought the sport into disrepute. Eastbourne are not blameless in all of this, club officials making juvenile comments on the mic to provoke the opposition was very unprofessional. A stronger more senior referee would have been able to handle the situation better, instead of letting it get out of hand.

Kent kings are right up there with them. Uncle Len still runs speedway every week.

It's called lunch down here in the south.

Eastbourne to squeak through i reckon.

Bruce Penhall did it before a 1980's test match at Wimborne Road, why not JCF!!!
