Shadders

There were a few women wearing silly hats. If that's your idea of fun....

Retired On an 11.60 average? That's the only problem?

I rudely forgot to add my congratulations, so here it is. Congratulations to all

Morris was no angel after that crash. Dunno who your reliable informant is, but he's not telling you the full story.

During his interview he stated that he won't be racing in the NZ GP next year

Afternoon started off badly. The chippy ran out of fish over half an hour before the start time. Some good racing, Doyle superb as usual. A horrific crash in the second half MDL final with two Belle Vue riders ploughing through the 4th bend fence at speed and getting up to walk away relatively unscathed. Who needs an air fence when we have the safest fence in British speedway? Some interesting comments during the presentation. Much of what the riders said was more or less unintelligible due to the crappy PA system in the bar. Only Len Silver was clealy understood as everyone decided to hush up, except for Jason Bunyan, who barracked him about the track! The announcement that the first meeting of 2014 will take place as late as 20th April, Easter Sunday, was surprising. Looks like the League Cup may be binned No clues as to the make up of next years side, but I did get a "see you next year" from Anders Mellgren as we left the stadium. Jason Garrity said he hoped to be for for next year, so he's gotta be a cert. It was also announced that attendances are slightly up on last year, so that's heartening.

It's not luck we need, it's a miracle

By heat 10 is my guess

Not forgetting David Icke and Gok Wan

Lambert rides on the continent on Sundays

You sound like my ex wife. Very good at advising people how to spend their own money

Why is a start of season filler competition being concluded at the fag end of the season?

I didn't think the track looked particularly slick, but then I'm used to Rye House! Didn't think there was much more passing than at a decent Rye home meeting, but at that speed it's always gonna look more spectacular

Wouldn't matter, it's a nothing meeting with absolutely no interest for me. I'd much rather watch a live team event, even if its of no importance, as tonight's is.

Arsenal and speedway on TV, but we'll still be there

You should enjoy your day out. Hope as many travel as possibly can. You never know when the good times will end, so enjoy it while it lasts.

A balls up from start to finish. Jason was telling everyone he'd be "back in a couple of weeks" while still hobbling around on crutches 2 months ago and the fools believed him.

Pretty much as I expected. Started off well enough, but battered out of sight for the last two thirds of the meeting. What a way to end a season. Only surprise was the low turnout. If you can't fill a stadium with an all conquering winning team what can you do? It had crossed my mind that Somerset crowds must be swelled by holidaymakers during the summer months, because there seemed to be more there for the league meeting with Rye earlier in the year. Anyway, our season is over now. Roll on next March

I'll be there, of course, for what is really just a programme filler. Absolutely nothing riding on this. Just hope riders stay safe. If we get pumped at Somerset the mood will be even more flat than usual.

I'll probably be in there drowning my sorrows when we're 25-5 down after heat 5

Is it worth me bringing my big coat? Will it be that cold after sunset?

Oldtimer... I believe I read that tomorrow is the only blank Friday available to Somerset. It's all very well saying there were blank dates earlier in the season, but you've gotta persuade other teams to come down when they may have riders unavailable. I still reckon you'll be too strong for us on the day, home and away Tomorrow isn't ideal for me either, having to cancel an existing commitment to travel down. Lets hope it's worth it.

Seen him a couple of times live this year and he was just as you say.

Must be a change of plan. Website says r/r

I noticed that too. I'm sure it must be a mistake on his part. Got his dates wrong hopefully
