  1. https://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/14373/rye-house-eastbourne-nt-2015
  2. Not so sure about the PCM, I'd say at least 50% of that is made up of travelling supporters, I'm just judging that by the dreadful turnout at the next televised match and that was against Ippo, BSN covered both. There's no doubt that moving the event back to a Monday night after the visible success of the Saturday night staging of last year is the commercial decision of an imbecile! You can only think that TV had a say in this but sometimes you've got to stand up for your own business as running to an empty stadium is not a good luck for anybody. I've thought for a few years now that the British Championship should be staged GP style over a number of rounds to encourage riders to take part and do away, to some extent, home track advantage... and end up with a final round at the NSS
  3. I think he's playing to the cameras these days, he knows he's still box office off the track
  4. It'll be interesting to find out exactly what's gone off here. The track prep in general, for the meetings I've seen so far this year, has left a lot to be desired, slick, dusty blue groves seem to be the order of the day because they refuse to put enough water on the tracks during meetings
  5. It's been a day of firsts... that's the first time I've ever seen somebody take a dive on the straight! 😂
  6. I assume Doyley got excluded there for moving at the start? It was barely perceptible to the human eye! Ridiculous!
  7. It sounds like the tanks under the centre green may have run dry... if that's the case it's difficult to imagine how they're going to prepare a track for Thursday?
  8. They need to get Super Nicki in at Oxford to get on Tungate's case there too 😂
  9. We'll see... Wouldn't believe anything the current lot say until tickets go on sale.
  10. What the flip happened at Leicester this afternoon? Taken from updates: "Meeting abandoned as all the water supply has been exhausted." This is a new one, even for me after 50 years watching Speedway! Doesn't bode well for Thursday.
  11. Loktaev was bloody lucky he didn't get his head run over there, his front tyre came off, I've never seen that before in Speedway! It's been particularly poor racing this afternoon, especially for bigdosh, proves the UK doesn't have the monopoly on FTG Speedway.
  12. "Was a decent nights racing with some good heats" what a rivetingly positive read! You're not going to mention Steve Worrall's paid max and Luke Harrison's his first in the CL and from the No2 position! How brilliant the Kennedy Bro's have been so far this season, best reserves in the league?
  13. Go on then... the floor is yours, knock yourself out, let's hear it, is that all you have to say? Sounds like you want others to do it for you?
  14. I'm not sure it is personally...certainly not like when TNT/Eurosport/Sky are in town. I just think that certain promotions make zero effort to make any time up if/when incidents happen, whether that be air fence deflations or extended track grading. Yes it was a 7pm parade on a Saturday night with what looked like loads of kids in (judging by the "track invasion") but there was a match to get on.
  15. Watching the other woman do the coin toss is genuinely quite comical to watch 🤣🤣
  16. How are we 1hr 35m into this meeting and we're only at heat 12! Now there's been a track invasion! Any danger of finishing the match off?
  17. Why all these steel shoes coming off? Is it because the track is so rough? Or has Cami Brown been around the pits with some Vaseline?
