To be fair the track is looking a hell of a lot better now than it did when it did look like a ploughed field a short while ago. .. it's almost as if this Andy Meredith fella knows what he's doing!

Some people are just so ill informed and want to believe every negative thing they hear about the sport.

It's a new first for me... I've never seen them blading a track while it's pissing it down with rain!

As my mum used to say to me... if you're well enough to go to the Speedway, you're well enough to go to school!

I wonder if Tom Brennan is thinking of an early exit... like he did when riding for Team GB the other week?

If they'd started at 12, as advertised, they'd have got this in, no bother... 10 minutes per race!

I think we're probably done here... not before a lot of faffing about though

If there's one thing I can't stand (and yes there are many things) it's the lack of urgency when the weather is dodgy and judging by some of the comments I can hear in the back straight stand I'm far from alone. 10 races in 98 minutes... that's some going

Heat 1 was fine... you're just feeling sore because you've been mugged off by your captain

The track was in decent nick at 12 noon as proved by the sprog and heat 1, could have got at least 6 races in before the rain came... sun's out now anyway, will probably be dusty by the end!

When can we welcome Richie back home? Did he ever pay his fine for calling the weasel a weasel?

Yes I am... I've travelled over 100 miles to get here! Would have been better if they'd started at 12 noon sharp!

That last shower has absolutely killed the track! And it's raining again

Same here... too much hanging around at a TV match, maybe a sun delay too

So, it's stopped raining... I wonder if there's any danger of putting a speedway race on?

He wasn't at the weekend when riding for himself... he should take the weight off and pop himself in a wheelchair

Are the first 2 rows of the south stand on the bends cordoned off because it might be slippery?

The medics There is no standing water on the track... yet! I want them to get on with it!

12:08 parade (yes parade!) starts... no rush!

12:05 medics come ambling out... no rush!

12:03 and the sprog is out on the track... absolutely no rush!

This will be a 6 pointer for the last play off spot

Hmm... medically he's either fit to ride or he isn't. As captain of The Aces I'd expect better. I see Lemo made a point of congratulating him on his GP qualification in the same sentence as saying he wouldn't be riding because of injury.

No, I would have used a smiley face or something if it did. Does forcing an understrength team to compete in the PL because they can only ride Monday nights nonsense make you happy?
