Kyle Bickley, replaces Jack Smith.

I think both Leagues would collapse if Bomber got injured.

04/05/1980 Workington 20 Newcastle 58 ....how times change...I was probably there , Worky had some big home defeats that year.

Mark Lemon has serious concerns about the make up of the Leagues in an item in this weeks Speedway Star.

Stripes Tigers I think.... Heavy rain forecast for Friday morning, clearing in the afternoon .

and Broc Nichol, hope Kyle gets fixed up with a team place soon.

Start time delayed to 3:15, track work.

Sorry to go off subject for a moment but it seems that the TRNSMT music festival is on in Glasgow on the 9th July, same day as the GB v ROW meeting. Hotel prices through the roof.

Another very tough GP challenge , hopefully Dan and Robert can make it through!

Could be next year....sorry

Given the right conditions at clubs the sport may survive , running on a day when fans want to attend , a track that is fit for racing and adequate facilities . As Steve Lawson alluded to on a recent podcast , give the riders a decent track to race on and they will most likely entertain the crowd, it really does not matter what level of rider either . He was also against tracks made to fit around sports pitches, eg rugby, football and defiantly no stock cars. Now I realise there are many tracks in use today that are used in conjunction with other sports and we have to live with these. The only tracks I regularly visit now are Glasgow and Belle Vue which provide good racing and decent facilities on a regular basis. Although Glasgow disappointed a few times , maybe not their fault , about three or four years ago Birmingham turned up with a woefully weak team and last year I attended the Leicester fixture which had to be cancelled before a wheel was turned in front of decent crowd because of track problems (early afternoon rain ).

Chris Harris guests again, reminds me of my time at work there was always one guy who would never turn down an overtime shift, he would say "yes whats the question!" Nothing against Chris , just think he is going to burn himself out.

Kurtz Kubera Bellego last place harder to judge...maybe Harris.

Some good words from Steve Lawson, "give the riders a decent track to race on and they will entertain, whether they are world champions or juniors." Also" ideally not round a football or rugby pitch and no stock cars"

Or a meeting that gets rained off early in the season gets ran late in the season on appalling conditions to complete the League.

Well done to all the Brits in very testing conditions, congratulations to Dudek the winner despite his impediment

My most humble apology , speedway star average only..Masters 10.59 Doyle 9.40 but I,m sure there will be some other figures out there.

Last time I looked Master’s is the best rider in the PL average wise.....too.

Tried to add photos from FB but too much info...

A good call, got to disagree .

Thing is who predicted a Vaculik win!

Been going on for years but seems to have gone a bit mad lately as Paulco said "missing due to attending world tiddlywinks championship"
