hell of a lot of pressure on wolves now to keep the run going with the rest of the league rooting for them..

meanwhile..back at Kent..unless it was because i was sitting a lot lower in the stand tonight but i thought the groove at kent wasn't so apparent tonight..looked to me like track was better prepared. You'd have got good odds on a kent win before start of heat 15....jack thomas rode his heart out all night..deserved to be on winning side

i think you'll find he goes to almost every meeting.

i will be coming to this meeting. Haven't seen Paul Hurry for a while! I should get there early Tony to secure your seat..*and look out my progs whilst you're on holiday please...ta'

harder and harder to see a difference between Prem and Champ isn't it..

A friend stayed in the vacant uni student rooms whilst they are on hols. £21 per night including parking, 10 mins walk from stadium. No tele in room but a bed and a shower. what more do you want?

the (london) olympic stadium might hold a few more.

If I heard him right the guy on the mike on Wednesday said something along the lines of "If we (the spectators) don't get our fingers out there won't be any speedway to come to".. He didn't have my full attention so I'm not sure what prompted him to say this..

This shocker was prominent on the back page of last night's issue... "Eight day's to go before your super seven hero's are in action again at Foxhall"

I wonder what the Kent boys made of seeing a track surface without a blue groove after 6 heats!

I'm afraid this was on a par with the Arena vs Bradford off-night staging in 1996 for entertainment. The haves and have nots of the NL the last couple of years reminds me of the conference when it first started...

I've pre-booked a programme (just in case).. there is one.

marVyn cox..and yes

having been to Coventry for the fiasco against poole I now read this....It's a shocking abuse of the paying public. (I don't care what the 'rules' are..this is not on!)

I saw two meets at Crawley Tigers in 1981 when they raced in the London League. The track was in cherry Lane, Langley Green. I don't believe the track exists anymore.

looking at the line-ups looks s to me like tigers will be tested round west row for a change

If racing of that quality results from the track preparation that was possible then do that every week! Superb racing from start to finish.

Personally I could see a British combo of Woffinden and Schlein having a decent chance..

Armstrong will need to improve a good deal upon his recent Arlington visit

this is most unexpected based upon what I read in the star's stoke column recently..

thoroughly enjoyed it. 55-35 prediction spot on!

Best meeting I've seen at Berwick in half a dozen visits ... its not exactly a regular track for me! Shame that with the crowd all round the track the atmosphere compared to Newcastle the following night wasn't as good. Maybe the fans on the home straight made a lot of noise which we didn't hear on back straight. Otherwise very enjoyable.

The vast majority of fans want 15 heat meetings to last between 90-105 minutes. All those involved in the meeting who dilly-dally/insist on intervals/overdo/fail to plan properly for breaks that result in this elapse time being exceeded do so at their own peril and do the sport a disservice generally. I do feel that some promotions now 'get it'..but by no means all. REFEREES / RIDERS / TRACK STAFF / PROMOTERS / MANAGERS listen to your audience. A few mins here and there add up so easily and the frustration of watching NOTHING for no good reason is driving even us old-timers away.. We left Newcastle for the drive back to Sussex on Sunday very grateful that the meeting was over in less than 2 hours meaning I got home an hour earlier than I possibly could have done. So thank you so much to all for that.

Przemek is pronounced Shemek I believe

I started getting speedway star in 1976 and to my knowledge it has not been published on a Saturday.The only change I can think of is that more recently Monday's results have been included in the Thursday edition of the same week.
