Shadders

Fried haggis in batter is perfectly acceptable.

No no no no... A fried pie? These are baked and delicious. I heartily recommend them. Burgers pretty decent too

Shocking bad luck

I'd like to have seen this televised on Sky

Here goes.... Luke Chessell claimed he had no machinery after problems with the two bikes used as a guest in a couple of PL meetings. Cradley booked Matt Williamson as a guest for the meeting (quite acceptable within current rules). Kevin Jolly blew a gasket and cancelled the meeting. On reflection he changed his mind and tried to get the meeting back on, but for whatever reason that wasn't possible. Social media goes into meltdown and KJ announces he's taking a short break from speedway. Quite a few people, unaware of the drama unfolding, turn up at West Row for the meeting and are quite rightly disappointed and angry. That's how I understand it. Please feel free to correct any inaccuracies

The food is better at Berwick Rangers matches. Proper food truck with fish & chips, battered haggis and Scotch pies.

Here's hoping

You're a man of supposed intelligence. You know the track is very different from way back then. You saw it with your own eyes the other week

If it's the usual Berwick track Pearson & Tatum will do very well to talk this up

Yep

Crowds seem up from last year. I've spoken to people I haven't seen there for years. The team isn't the strongest and the stadium is in the process of regeneration, but it's all looking positive.

There were well over a dozen of us there Rayleigh. Mostly sheltering from the rain close to the first bend.

No stranger than buying out Castagnas contract

Wasted journey, but only ourselves to blame, the forecast was horrible. There was no way this was getting to heat 10, so to abandon it was correct. In my opinion with a forecast of 80% chance of heavy rain it should've been called off mid afternoon. Still, at least we got a full refund on the way out and some chilli & chips from the snack bar. Hope I can make the restaging.

Very harsh from that angle

Anyone with half a brain could see that the reserve pairing was going to be weak. What on earth were Ipswich thinking when they bought Castagnas contract?

The heavy rain is forecast to arrive around 7

I doubt you're alone

I've given up trying to keep up with the rules. Earlier this year there was the tac ruling in the Premier League Cup, then the riding over the Centre green rule, now this

Different rules over three different leagues?

Halifax Tiger is spot on. The Armstrong incident is probably why Kevin Jolly has behaved in this way. I fear for Mildenhall Speedway.

Even more baffling why he's never been a Rocket. Remember Jason Bunyan telling me that he'd recommended him to Len Silver 3 or 4 years ago

Why? I don't like Cradley supporters

MPT turns up as Berwicks guest at Rye and scores 11, two weeks later at Plymouth he's guff. Oh well

Feel some sympathy for Mildenhall. Kevin Jolly is obviously upset, I don't blame him. Not sure if this is the correct way to go about things though
