Just hope the weather plays ball this week so we can get a completed fixture list and true end of regular season table

First trip to Workington’s new home, great venue, really impressed its definitely got room for growth. As for today’s racing it was really hampered by an ultra slick powdery surface which the water just couldn’t adhere to and soak in so was simply back to being dry and dusty in minutes. The inside line was the place to be for the vast majority of races. Impressive performances from Fraser Bowes and Anti Voulas, with good back up from Jye Etheridge and Jacob Hook. As for Glasgow the just couldn’t get out of the gate, Kyle Howarth was always there or thereabouts in his 5 races resulting in winning ht15 and spoiling the two home riders maximum hopes. It'll have been said before but sure this venue would benefit from floodlights and have evening meetings under lights where the moisture will start coming up naturally rather than battling with the heat and wind during the afternoon meetings, but it’s a track I’ll come back to again

First time seeing Vilads Nagel live last night, very impressive, looked fast all night, great style to go with it too

Hopefully people don’t expect too much from Will Cairns it’s a massive step from NDL racing coming into the Premiership even if it’s only the one guest appearance. He made competitive debut for Zielona Gora on Tuesday in U24 league and scored 0 from his 5 rides, so that should put things into a little perspective

Seems an age since the last home match v Ipswich, might have to programme the sat nav in to get me there! 😁 Hopefully some good racing and a home win to come away with the 3 points on offer

I’d say the two guests make us slightly stronger at Birmingham, just need a similar performance to last Thursday

Not been on BSF for quite a bit but have to say there was some really good racing from the off last night at Foxhall. The Sheffield lads looked a lot more on it after a couple of below par performances and unlucky to come away with no league or bonus points

Just seen on Bend2BarmyArmy FB page that Dan Gilkes suffered a broken wrist last night, so looks like a new Rising Star needed, Ace Pjiper, Ashton Boughen, Jason Edwards??

They hit the fence with a right ‘thump’ in front of where us Sheffield fans were standing on back straight, poor Dan sounded in a lot of discomfort before he was seen too by St. John’s and taken off in ambulance. His sister and grandad obviously left to help sort his stuff out before going to hospital, fingers crossed it’s not too bad an injury and he’s back on the bike soon

Dan T is Sheffield’s number 8

Who can take the R/R rides for Kyle ?

On the official Sheffield site it states Kyle will be riding for Leicester on Sunday due to league preference days

Royno posted on twitter that he is in hospital after the crash with a broken T12 vertebra, that fella has no luck

Looking forward to my first Czech SGP, hopefully weather forecast is correct as supposed to dry up tomorrow and Saturday

Ashley Birks and Matt Williamson confirmed as last 2 places http://www.scunthorpetelegraph.co.uk/Ashley-Birks-pick-left-returns-Scunthorpe/story-20361930-detail/story.html

Been to Swedish GP in Gothenburg twice and on both occasions stayed at First Hotel G. Airport bus drops you straight off next door to the hotel and its also just over the road from the shopping centre so everything close to hand. Ullevi is about 10 mins walk away and city centre restaurants like Hard Rock etc again 10 mins walk. As for seating at Ullevi I had seats just off turn 4 and they had a great view and for practice watched from 2nd turn which was as good a view, don't think really there is a bad seat in the stadium unless it rains :-)

Cheers Mama

Looking at booking to go to this GP as always fancied doing one of the Polish rounds, does anyone know if there is scheduled to be any Eskstraliga or Division 1 matches on the next day??

I know it's if's and but's but what happens then say April/May time and one of the riders say Darcy Ward has a stinker of a start on Poland and the Torum management dump him which isn't beyond the realms of reality with the way the Polish teams seem to go about things will the SGP brigade then bring in the rider as a permanent wildcard for the rest of the series? Cna see some lawyers making some ££ out of the current situation with the PZM and SGP

That has to be the worst line up for the SGP Challenge yet, not really one of the riders would set the world on fire more like a spoilers meeting rather than a challengers meeting. I know it's all about riders qualifying to get there but surely the likes if Darcy Ward, Troy Batchelor, Grigory Liguta and Thomas H Jonnason should be in the line up rather than riders who have been there done that and won no t-shirts.

Hi Ghostwalker I think the issue is us Brits struggle with our own language never mind mastering another countries, if you were to ask the vast majority of us Brits to either write or read a sentence in Swedish you would just get a load of blank faces :blink: wish I could read/write in another language as well English

After the dodgy weather conditions for this years Swedish GP at Ullevi in Gothenburg there was a lot of discussions about next years moving event moving possibly to Stockholm to a covered stadium, but wonder if this link is correct at this shows as it remaining at Ullevi on 26th May? http://www.ullevi.se/speedway/
