  1. It's more entertaining following the updates tonight!
  2. He still has the odd decent meeting, but not consistant anymore.
  3. Place looks deserted. How embarrassing for the sport.
  4. I can just about tolerate a challenge match, but not against a made up team, and I'm an ex Wimbledon fan. It's a rare opportunity for me to watch live speedway on the telly tonight.
  5. They rode well at Mildenhall yesterday in a very enjoyable meeting.
  6. Judging by the average age of the current speedway fan, i bet the vast majority of them can just about use a mobile phone, let alone access social media.
  7. Well it was good today mate. I can only vouch for what i had. They must have employed a new fryer. It was definitely up there with previous seasons.
  8. A fair comment. There has been no winners in this sorry situation. Hopefully some lessons will have been learned.
  9. Whilst BMR still own Rye House stadium, it might just be a pipe dream.
  10. Quite an eventful meeting today raced in front of a decent crowd. The highlight for me was the fish and chips that were excellent, despite all of the early doom and gloom regarding the change of fryer!
  11. A few fallers tonight on what looked like a tricky track. With the heat leaders all dropping points and the Eagles long tail wagging, the crash involving Tommy B was a bridge too far in the end. The crowd looked well down compared to the previous home meetings. A combination of the FA cup and the GP on the telly no doubt contributed to this.
  12. I don't give a monkey's about the GP's. Eastbourne v Glasgow for me tonight. I would never miss live sport to watch an event on TV.
  13. Last nights meeting was a slow burner, racing wise. Once Poole got dialled in, the racing improved. I don't mind a poor meeting as long as its well run. Last night was standard fare, speedway wise.
  14. That's why premier league football clubs try to block mobile phone signals when the game kicks off. They don't want normal fans taking and posting unlicensed photos on the web whilst the match is in progress. It's all about protecting their image rights.
  15. We won't be able to get through the door soon. That carpet will be nearer the celing than the floor!
  16. Who knows what Will happen at Rye. Only the SCB and their creditors probably know their true debts. Getting back to Kent. Despite more crashes on monday, i think a real effort was made to put on a slicker show than my previous visit. The crowd was very healthy again. I was also present when the Kings won at Stoke in an entertaining meeting the previous afternoon. All in all, a couple of days of decent speedway.
  17. So you really think that the SCB accept the Brummies version of events. Why don't the authorities carry out their own investigation if they are that bothered. If tracks can call meetings off for a football match, then why not for missing riders. I don't recall any teams getting fined for pulling the plug before the day of the meeting.
  18. Having lost my team some 14 years ago, it's far easier to watch the sport without any emotional attachment. I couldn't care less who wins as long as the track is well prepared and i get to see some decent racing. As for the rule bending and other farces that appear almost on a weekly basis, well i just take it on the chin. Surely there isn't anyone left that takes the sport seriously.
  19. Just tell the truth. Issue a statement saying they are not prepared to take a financial hit with Ellis not riding. It's not hard is it.
  20. It was like the Bahamas there on Sunday!
