I'm not quite sure why we expect so much from Janowski? He's not even in the reckoning for the title of being the best rider to never win a world title.

I, of course, reserve the right to change my mind If you ask nicely I may come back

And why is that?

Good call... the forecast is for prolonged heavy rain to sweep across the country. Disappointed as I was looking forward to sampling my first taste of NDL action

Sorry Moranboys, I don't really care

Speedway riders, like football players, ain't renowned for what they've got up top. I've always wondered why there's been no pits to rider communication along the lines of other motorsports, with a manager telling his rider where the opponent is coming from. I also think it depends how much a rider WANTS to become World Champion as to what they are prepared to do, you get the feeling that Nicki Pedersen would be prepared to do almost anything to hold onto his race position

Not interested... won't be going again

I think you have got exactly the promoter you deserve. Last 2 meetings I've been to, 1 abandoned and one delayed for 40 minutes due to lack of medical cover. 1 thing i did notice that on both my visits the away contingent almost outnumbered the home crowd. If you keep running meetings with inadequate medical cover people will just not travel to the EWR and then you'll be up poop creek. Fair play and credit where it's due, Birmingham learnt by their mistake, yet your clown carries on business as usual Enjoy your Mickey Mouse club while you still have it

Not at the expense of holding the meeting up for 40 minutes, you're sounding as bad as him...

I couldn't hear what he was saying because of your tin pot PA system on the first bend, Couldn’t hear a thing, i was getting my info from updates. So if what you're saying is true he held up the meeting for 40 minutes to wait for a 2nd paramedic so that in case there was an accident requiring a rider to be taken to hospital he wouldn't have to hold the meeting up!!!!! The man's an even bigger clown than i first thought

I was being sarcastic... lowest form of wit

Whatever happened to Briggo's wonder wheel? Used to be standard issue a few years back

And chief bullrubbishter

Heat 9 and can't see anything for dust now... and that's after the centre green presenter has just been out to water the track... he should stick to centre green presenting, he ain't bad at that to be fair

Why didn't it start at 5 then?

Your promoter is a Grade A Class 1 joke! How many paramedics need to be in attendance to run a meeting?

He'll get better

After chancing last week, he's decided to chance it again with 1 paramedic! The guy's a joke! Sun's out, healthy crowd in and we're watching tractor racing to the sounds of the 80's. Might have a go on the hook a duck... see if i can win my BFH.

... and the right setup

No paramedic on site FFS! This guy should have his promoters licence taken from him... absolute disgrace to the sport

And then do what? I like to turn up about 10 minutes before tapes up, not one for hanging around

Yes, all fair points, when i say the track is not conducive to junior racing I am referring to the lesser (junior) riders of a CL team that i see trying to get around Leicester. Nobody stands out, I think it's fair to say even the highly rated Anders Rowe has failed to get to grips with the track and even the likes of Drew Kemp & Jordan Palin have failed to ever show anything. Anyway, you may just have sold it to me you rascal, I'll see what the teams are like after Saturday and what the weather is like on Sunday and may just pop along to see what all the fuss is about

So it is possible and the demand seems to be from the promotion due to the handling costs of cash. I assume the connection was wireless, if that's a bit ropey then try a wired solution, according to the Ofcom website there is good coverage for mobile data in the area of the stadium https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/mobile-coverage#pc=TD152EF&uprn=10024651855 As far as I recall the problem with the U21 was down to a power failure at the stadium and the BSN match was their first stream, so a few teething problems were only to be expected. I'm not sure why they'd be any other demands on a secure internet connection, you probably will though. Anyway the required bandwidth for a card transaction would be a tiny fraction of that required for a streaming service. I've told you, I have no agenda, be interested to know what you think my agenda is... in the mean time keep wearing the tin foil hat!
