When in Rome...

Rye House had a system in place for double headers. Anyone wanting to watch the second half were able to enter the stadium at the single meeting admission price just before the end of the first half. Anyone entering before the first meeting paid the double header price. Bit hard on the fans of the team racing first, but I can’t see any other way of doing it apart from clearing the stadium after the first half, which would be a logistical nightmare. I can’t see how they’ll get 30 heats in before the 9.30pm curfew anyway.

Third bend behind the nation flags is where you’ll find the committee.

He insists he’ll be a long way away from the draw

*hand up*

Strange old meeting in front of a sparse crowd on a windy night. If Scunthorpe started as they finished they’d be going home with three points. Only 4 points from NBJ’s replacement rides was a poor return. Announced that 65 of the 120 “5-1” draw numbers have already been taken up after just a few days.

Met office is a little more favourable. No rain until around 10pm https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcyt62suu#?nearestTo=Tweedmouth&date=2019-08-21

Bright and sunny here at the moment. Met Office say sunny intervals for the rest of the day with a 5-10% chance of showers and 18c, falling to about 15c by tapes up. 60% chance of rain from 9pm, so the meeting should hopefully be moved along at a good pace.

Why did you have to bother with that reply? Make you feel big? Troll... blocked

The worst part was battling the M25/M4/M5 on a friday afternoon

There were a few technical difficulties last night

Updates site took them from Bandits Twitter Updates.

I had many years following the Rockets, watching them getting hammered, especially at Berwick. Three trips to Somerset in 2014 62-28 66-26 72-20

I agree. It was a little underwhelming. Got a bit interesting towards the end, but Eastbourne were such poor opposition it was always going to be one of those meetings. I was generally typing the results half way through the races. Hopefully Scunthorpe provide stiffer opposition on Wednesday. Thinking it’ll be RR for Nikolaj

Was wondering why the post match parade truck stopped halfway down the back straight. Announced as run out of diesel

Didn’t he do the same when Berwick were at Newcastle?

Newman and the reserves

2012, I was up on the Northern Tour. The meeting when you lost both your reserves to injury in heat 2. No idea why Jon Cook would’ve been there

Must’ve missed that. When was this said?

Maybe very recently. Probably more to do with them not wanting to heavily invest in expensive jackets they may be stuck with at the end of the season.

No they can’t. The track shop doesn’t have any coats or caps this year. One of the worst stocked track shops I’ve seen

Heavy rain forecast today and more showers tomorrow. Looks like the season will be extended for a week at least.

Irrelevant as there won’t be any team changes unless forced

Oh dear, someone’s rattled. I suspect you already know. I don’t support the Bandits, so you’re barking up the wrong tree if you’re having a pop

Who did Jon Cook head butt?
