All looks good at the moment... Just a few dark clouds knocking about, should be ok

There's a dirty black cloud over the city... Looks ok up BP way though with barely a breeze

Not in Leicester it's not

Tell me about it!! All forecasts I looked at said no rain until after midnight in Glasgow... that's why I set off in full confidence at around 10:30 and foolishly didn't check my phone until 3pm when I was about to cross the border only to find out it had been called off about half an hour after I left home... I was a tad frustrated Still it was a nice drive home through the driving rain in the rush! Perhaps it might be an idea for clubs to setup a WhatsApp group that fans can join to receive alerts about postponements, instead of having to check the website or Twitter, especially difficult when driving. Why on earth we (as a sport) continue this seemingly every season with finals to competitions being crammed in on off nights on dodgy tracks in October is unfathomable. Also In these days of potential golden heats holding the 2nd leg of the semi and/or final is a distinct advantage and yet no consideration seems to be given to this. The league should be wrapped up by the end of September, any clubs not making the play offs can then hold maybe a north/south regional competition to keep their season alive with the knocked out play off contenders joining at a later stage (like the Europa League in Football). ... Anyway I shall probably try again on Tuesday, my weather app says only a 20% chance of rain in Glasgow

Natalie Quirk does other stuff for BT Sport and I think was working for them before they got the Speedway

I don't really follow the NDL but I assume that as Leicester finished top of the league they elected to ride at Kent first so as to have the advantage of running the 2nd leg at home, in case of golden heats. So why would they now agree to allow Kent to run the 2nd leg? But as they were going to turn up tonight without Ellis Perks, I wonder if they really care whether they win the play off or not... it's things like this that devalue the competition.

Howarth quite clearly over the white line there In heat 5

Yes, but those points aren't then totted up to decide an overall winner. Personally I thought the GP's were a lot more competitive when they had the 24 rider line up with riders gradually being knocked out. I understand that the riders probably don't like this as the current system gives a lot of them an easy time

He should get Craig Cook's lawyer

What about Green & Black? We've not tried that yet... It may just be the innovation that save Speedway in the UK

Who are the top 16 riders in the Polish League? You shouldn't really be looking too far away from those to find out the best rider in the world

or the rights? I wonder what it'd be including that!

How costly was running out of fuel in Malilla

Edinborough?

I've never noticed that before... you live and learn

The ref had already ballsed up by calling it back for Stewart jumping the start when Lions were on a 5-1 going into the first bend... probably just seeing out justice

My first visit to Redcar last night and what a nice tidy setup you've got up there. The track looked a bit like the Leicester track (with it's weird banking on the bends) but with better proportions, the racing wasn't much cop maybe that was down to the weather? 8 points the diff keeps the tie alive. One thing that puzzles me though, and it may have been gone through before on other threads... but why are you called Redcar, when you are quite clearly nearer to Middlesborough and would probably be better off (media wise) being called Middlesborough? Is it a rights issue of some sort?

... And Leicester

The same reason Chinese companies sponsor PL Football They do don't they... Mr Terry Russell

How about a triple header

Yes tonight's (Friday) is off at Redcar. Tomorrow the start time has been brought forward by 1 hour to 18:30 and at the moment it is still on

It would be a sensible change if they could run a 15 heat match in under 90 minutes

He was still found guilty... it was only the punishment that was changed

We'll probably never know

What does it matter? If a load of Poles come along making it viable so that British fans can have a good day out watching the worlds top riders I'd call that a result
