Glad you didn't get lost again leaving Hoddesdon. Good to meet you. See you on a sliders track soon

To be serious (for once) Trees, there weren't many complaints tonight. Even the Poole fans seemed to enjoy it. Rye House is what it is. A small track with tight bends. Not much you can do about it. Long gone are the days of 30 point home wins. You either adapt to it, or go home with an empty pay packet. Early indications are it's gonna be a tight league and tough to call. Isn't that what everyone wants?

You're still miffed cos we beat you last week? Let it go woman. It's doing you no good

I am and will for the few remaining weeks I'm down here. Could be worse. I could be a Berwick fan

Sure, the track was a little slick right towards the end, but mostly it was good. Not like you have an agenda or anything. Keep knocking it though. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. And don't let the fact that the vast majority of races tonight were great to watch. Rockets fans are loving it.

I'll admit I was the one of those who said PL racing was better than EL, but now it's been dumbed down slightly I've gotta call it as I see it. I was genuinely hard pressed to pick a winner in each race tonight.

Hard to call any meeting so far this year. Even individual races I've seen in this league have been like that. Wasn't sure whether I was going to enjoy being in the top league, but so far I'm loving it.

BWD started with Eastbourne in the NL I think

That's just been put to me. Another rule that's unclear. Anyone have the difinitive ruling?

I agree, it's a pain for the club that's inconvenienced, but the way the ruling is written is ambiguous. It's clear the Rye v Poole meeting is not a rearranged fixture. Just because you're not in favour of the rule, doesn't make it invalid. Pretty sure they'll come down in favour of Edinburgh in this instance

It's a great sport. It's the rules that are farcical Last time I was there a goat was wandering around the crowd near the start line!

You don't really believe that. You know it, I know it and everyone else knows it

That's not how it's worded "1) The Original Fixture if there is a clash with a re-arranged fixture" Technically, Rye House v Poole is not a rearranged fixture. Rearranged, by definition, infers the fixture should've taken place at some other time, but it's been in the schedule since the fixtures were announced. Going by the wording of the ruling Rye House should have priority. Nowhere in this particular ruling does it mention the riders schedule, only the team he's racing for. The double up/down rules need to be rewritten to reflect this.

Last saw them at Rye in 1985, my first ever speedway meeting. They were the Wildcats then. Beat us 40-38

Next thing you need to check is yourself in for counselling for even suggesting Barker for Rye House. Have you seen him race there?

When was he last at his best? If your argument (flimsy at best) is to be taken seriously we should be looking to sign Ivan Mauger. Even if Wells scores 5 or 6 points a meeting that'll be a vast improvement on Watt

An hour by plane from Edinburgh to Stansted with Ryanair. Done it a few times recently. Only problem is there's only one flight on a Saturday, departing at 7am!!May be better off having someone drive him half way down, stay at a hotel and continue the journey after breakfast

Try telling that to some of the half-bakes on the Rye House Facebook group. I've never known such a bunch of brain dead morons. "Win as a team, lose as a team".... "Get on a speedway bike and see if you can do better"... "Why don't you tell Davey to his face" Idiots!

Excellent coverage on BBC West Midlands

Is it still 4 home/4 away league meetings for the new averages to take effect? Kings Lynn away on 24th May would be the fourth away meeting, unless the recent rain off is rescheduled before that date.

NBJ purely for the reason Chris gave... no double up/down problems.

I appreciate that, but I'll wager there are hundreds, probably thousands who do, but can't be bothered.

He's available and would welcome a return. Average fits too

My coffee table knows more about speedway than that Poole tool For regular speedway I like to pay a visit to my local track. If more people did that instead of relying on TV coverage perhaps it wouldn't be in such a mess

Crap is a little harsh. No holes, not dangerous, just slick
