Shhhhh! You're blowing "the story"

Retired like Jack Thomas?

Scunny should have forfeited the match and we all move on. There shouldn't even have been top 6 in the play offs this year, they've only done it to extend the season for a couple of clubs... well, they've certainly managed to do that!

What is not out of the control of Leicester Speedway is the number of ambulances in attendance. They've been caught out before by not having adequate medical cover to ensure the smooth running of matches. It should be compulsory for 2 ambulances to be in attendance in my opinion. It seems like the sport is run by a bunch of chancers at times.

Will give Ellis a chance to get better

Heard on the PA on the way out they're going to try and arrange for tomorrow if they can get the staff... probably no Ellis or facility for him. Running out of weekends now I wonder if they'll run against the SoN next weekend. Think I'm gong to save my ticket for the semis now anyway

Off!

19:45 comes and goes... no update

Does "assessed" mean there are a load of people standing by it giving sharp intakes of breath?

The ambulance is being "assessed" next update 19:45

I'm there... fortunately it's quite a nice evening

Does an ambulance still count as an ambulance if it's on the back of a tow truck I wonder?

Nice to see the Leicester promotion filling the wait with... erm... nothing, how about an interview with a rider or two... a sing-a-long? Why are we waiting...

RAC are on the scene... this'll be off me duck

He'll be fit for the re-staging then!

It's probably got Adam Ellis in the back

Broken down on the motorway... coming from the West Midlands... West Midlands? Why?

Gone to the wrong venue again?

Thanks for your pity

Care to say what "assumptions" you think I am making?

I do think it'd help if they would mix it up a bit

Bit of an over reaction there I think. The only thing your team did wrong was not securing top spot in the league by 1 point. If you had, you'd have probably faced Sheffield in the Semi and gone on to meet and beat BV in the final... as I do think that BV will now win the final.

In a perfect world, clubs would be running on nights that make the most economic sense for them

Fan demand? Really? Unlikely, have the powers that be ever done anything due to fan demand?

I think they do an excellent job, easily the best by some distance. For people that criticise them, try and talk continuously for 3 hours about what's going on in front of you that isn't always the most entertaining, in fact put an audition tape together and upload it to YouTube and give us all a laugh. It's a difficult balance to strike of being informative and entertaining. If I did have a criticism it would be that they don't often go into enough detail, but then maybe they are told to keep it quite superficial, I don't know. The days of Richie Benaud saying 1 sentence once every over in cricket or Dan Mascal saying "Oh I say" at the end of a rally in Tennis are of the distant past.
