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.

Drink plenty of water

It's puzzling why in both of the leagues play off's they've abandoned the use of tac-subs? This has basically killed off any interest in any of the play offs so far with the possible exception of the Peterborough vs Wolverhampton 2nd leg. BV v Sheff, Lions v Scunny and Edinburgh v Redcar are all effectively dead rubbers unless something remarkable happens. Why run a year long league competition with the use of tac-subs that gets your team in a position in the league to then ride in play-offs that don't allow the very rule that has helped you get there!!! Another piece of British Speedway madness

Would you have Auty back?

Lucky he was well yesterday evening but knows he's not going to be well tomorrow night... all the best to him though, hope he recovers quickly for the semis

"Illness" according to the Leicester website... there's been a bit of that about this year

Bit of a joke isn't it, no wonder the Leicester promotion have kept quiet about it... how on earth do you "promote" this fixture?

LEICESTER: Nick Morris, Dan Thompson, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Hans Andersen, Joe Thompson, Zaine Kennedy.SCUNTHORPE: Adam Ellis R/R, Simon Lambert, Jordan Palin, James Shanes, Jye Etheridge, Josh MacDonald, Connor Mountain.

But a team competing in another league does? Interesting...

I think Travel Plus Tours are still running

British teams full of foreign riders? British teams made up of riders that ride for other clubs?

What if MPT pulls out after his first ride though? Then Panthers are up the creek. Having Kerr is insurance

Going by that theory you or I should have a place in the GP series Both of his podiums came on his home track, yes for a wildcard in Poland, no for a wildcard for the whole series imo

JA £10k in 1979 = £50k today. Also nice to see a healthy crowd... on Scotsman's corner

So they could/should have called it off at 17:30?

Don't forget we're talking about Eurosport here

May not be televised from EoEA on Thursday if all the kit gets half inched lol
