Isn't that the norm at Berwick this year?.. How was the attendance level on a decent day weatherwise with no GP to contend with?

I see Ben Barker has made a remarkable recovery from the wrist he broke at Sheffield on Thursday

B4E will be happy, and when she's happy..... well, you work it out

Has Silver lost interest in Rye House for the sake of his new baby over in Kent?

Hows that rain doing over at Hoddesdon?

Highlight of the week for most of them... I've heard of sleepy towns, but that one's in a coma!

If I were him I'd be out looking for an edible hat.

Len Silver is like Marmite, you either love him or hate him. I'm somewhere in the middle

Hopefully the much vaunted "best race track in the league" lives up to it's reputation.

Could go either way this. Reserves will be key and Berwicks are better. Bandits have gotta be sharper from tha gate tonight, cos that track is a bugger to pass on if you stick to the one line

I'm not gutted any more, I'm furious. I've been to loads of away meetings that have been rained off close to the start, but at least they gave it a chance. That's the nature of being a speedway fan in this country unfortunately... To call off a meeting this early on the strength of a questionable weather forecast, just to placate half a dozen or so away fans that may have travelled, is ridiculous... Wonder how much he saved on riders travelling costs today?

I'm still not convinced there was any real effort to get this on

Not sure how many meetings are needed before the averages change? Driving along the M25 in Essex and the sun is shining. Some rain around, but not enough to make the track unraceable surely?

D'OH!!

To be fair I can only remember one occasion where he got it wrong. The track will be wet from recent rain and being very close to the river won't help with the water table being high. More rain forecast around lunchtime, so I guess he had little choice. Nothing to gain from a rain off, so he must have very good reasons. May 25th is a reserved date according to official Rye website

Fu*k sake!

He's a nice guy and has good equipment. That's the stock answer.

He has a full time job, so I doubt he'd want any extra meetings. Almost certain about that.

Thankfully it was only that... Did you see his score at Sheffield last night? The only riders he beat were James Sarjeant and Ben Hopwood

Either they have a spectacular name lined up and they are building the tension, or they haven't found anyone yet. I'm going for the latter. It probably won't be Robert Lambert as I've heard he can only commit to half a dozen meetings due to other commitments.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646807?day=1 Heavy rain in the morning, showers in the afternoon. Gonna be touch and go I reckon.

Ipswich are at Workington tomorrow

Any reason why Summers wasn't in heat 15?

You won't get any from me. I posted my views on the U21 thread after leaving the meeting on Monday. I said to the people I was standing with that he was destined not to win it after breezing into the final. That's the way things are I'm afraid and I can't see them reverting back to the old format. I'm sure we'd be celebrating if Jason had sneaked into the final through the semi and won it
