If it works it might be an interesting alternative.

To attending?

No to the other live updates. No comparison to attending unless you live so far away that the cost out weighs the return in which case nip down the pub and enjoy a pint and look at the phone. Bit like most people do when they contribute to the hospitality industry by paying over the odds for crap food, expensive drinks and supporting those who expect someone owes them a living.

I take it back it appears to be quite good. With some meetings also including a commentary it might just catch on.

I wonder if the guy who was posting on here asking questions has had anything to do with it?

Musielak has to be the first name on the team sheet next season no matter what his average is, Proven that he's not lost it on British tracks and he just had a couple of rough season's because he was at the wrong clubs.

Think we're learning a lot about Tom Brennan this season, Maybe his limit is an engine room 3rd Heat Leader?

You can't afford to carry one rider, especially a heat leader, when you're operating R/R and - but for one race - the Foxes were carrying two. Only followed on updates but it seemed like the referee had another interesting meeting. Still, a narrow home win is good for business and in these turbiulent times, good for business is good for the sport.

Enjoyed this, Chris Adams managed his side well given the hand he was dealt with injuries etc, got the most of of a 4 (maybe5)  man Foxes side! A bit gate and go however but a few good races and one or two good moves from the home riders. 

Agree that Kye Thomson is a cracking rider and he mixed it really well.

Witches needed more from some riders - both Lawson and TomB didn't do enough tonight for me. It was nice to see Jordan back and I do wonder why he hasn't been given a spot ahead of Kennett - nothing against Kennett but Jenkins did enough for me to think why isn't he in?

Is Jenkins eligible to guest?

No longer in a declared team.

Pretty sure the Redcar change comes to effect Friday so Jenkins still has a team spot as of today 

I do think that is one of the worst roles out there (not being able to guest of not in a team).

You'd think it would be encouraged rather than against the rules?

Because he's been very disappointing this season, albeit better tonight.

What has the ref done wrong tonight? I was at the meeting and not one person mentioned the ref or any dodgy decision. Just because both riders got DQ? Isn’t it a rule that if you leave the track you get DQ? I wouldn’t call it an interesting meeting just by the rules.

Called it at the start of the season that Brennan may be out of his depth at number 1 and might get demoralised, I hope he doesn’t but he will find it tough. For me, Lawson doesn’t fit the witches formula, he goes back to the pits and doesn’t interact with fans, seems moody a lot and doesn’t bother going on the parade lap after the meeting when everyone else does.

It simply shows how speedway has now followed other sports (and perhaps society in general) with attentions spans of a goldfish. The season is in late May - it started in earnest in early to mid April  - yet we have constant demands for 'oh this isnt good enough and we demand change' - Change for changes sake often backfires as some football cliubs are finding out! 

I still find it (insane) that a current up and coming rider won't get a spot - given to an ageing has been - no disrespect to Kennet here but thats what he is!

Well, that was closer than I expected! Harris, who's been poor for Glasgow, made some good starts tonight, Klindt looked like he was trying as well. Both No.1s were a let down, but Lidsey, wow, surprusex he's not more bloated as he surely struggles to pass water, the epitome of the phrase 'gating tart' 😁

I don't really understand why he got the nod for Heat 15 instead of the skip.
