To be fair Rob Grant said there would be changes for the Leicester match & he isn’t lying . The change is Kyle Howarth is not guesting at no 1 he is going to ride against Newcastle instead

I have some sympathy for your point of view. However, as with many aspects of modern life, for me, it comes down to my own sense of responsibility. If I take my grandson to a restaurant, I make sure he behaves appropriately. He doesn't run riot or badly affect other diners. Likewise, if Lenny comes to the speedway with me, I expect him to behave appropriately. I go where I know there's space for him to settle and he doesn't cause disruption to other fans. In fact, generally speaking, it's others that insist on "bothering him" by stroking him and asking about his history etc. Not that he doesn't like the fuss, he loves it. But it's horses for courses and it is always my responsibility to make sure our visits are trouble free. I don't take Lenny because I think it's my right to do so, I take him because I don't like leaving him at home for many hours alone. I think that's a responsible attitude also. So it's give and take. No one has a right to behave badly or to take a dog into an environment just because it's allowed and then cause a problem. You do see signs saying that well behaved dogs are welcome. Perhaps the signs should say, well behaved dogs and well behaved dog owners are welcome!

Did you watch the same meeting as the rest of us? some decent racing most of the races had something happening.Zagar superb Kurtz decent and King showing improved form Doyle on it also thought Hume rode very well for a measly 2 point return.

I can see the headline in the chronicle now ( that’s if they still print about speedway) Diamonds sign son of 3 x British Champion

There were not many ways that Newcastle could make a poor team change, but what do you know they've actually managed it.

Jack Smith replace George Congreve

Sorry but I do.

feel sorry for Poole tonight and their fans , they wont know how to take a defeat ..

I can understand that, it would be annoying. Well behaved Dogs only imo, which rules out my 2 Labs when food is about...

SUPERHEAT!!! Pretty please?

Two hammerings coming the scorpions way this week then.

That match is a 3 pm start,probably so as Bomber doesn’t miss a match!!!! tight schedule though.

No need for Greyhound racing to have spectators, they make there money from streaming to the shops and online, so no need for a nice plush stand and staff on minimum wages selling expensive warm beer and over priced fast food.

It never ceases to amaze me that people still respond to the idiot, but as you say he baited his hook and got a few bites, interestingly not from regular Panther fans, who rightly just ignore the idiot.

Some good words from Steve Lawson, "give the riders a decent track to race on and they will entertain, whether they are world champions or juniors." Also" ideally not round a football or rugby pitch and no stock cars"

Well that's down to the waiter, not the dog. There is more chance of catching something from the humans at the next table, than from a dog. If we knew what went on behind some kitchen doors, i suspect many of us would never eat out again...

He's caught one

He's on the wind up and has caught a few sharks it seems

I for one can’t - i must fill a programme out and then within a few minutes of heat 20 finishing i have to work out GP points for the bottom 8 riders and also Semi final line- ups in draw order. I freeze The live coverage and always beat the semi draw. I then do the top 8 points as soon as the final is over - all this with paper, pen and brain !!!! I then normally post how wrong the TV captions are !!!!

What if the dog isn't at all bothered by the 'noisy environment'? I always took a dog with me when going alone to Oxford, Wolverhampton, Peterborough, Coventry or Leicester. None of them have ever shown the slightest concern about noisy motorbikes, in fact quite the opposite as they just went to sleep on a blanket while the match was on. Border Collies too that are supposed to be lively.

Ah but. The real significance of tonight's result is that everyone now knows that Poole can be beaten over two legs. Fortress Wimborne Road is no more.

If you count that as a good result, so be it.

Had to be removed. Pirates can’t lose at home.

After tonight's result we all love Leicester

Smith for Congreave. Game changer!

Great shout Normski we ate at Brewers Arms two out of the three nights great food massive portions and great friendly staff cheers

That's a fair wager although a no lose for me as it is currently very unlikely that I will visit Compost Corner again If it doesn't go to plan I will just claim that BassoRacingFan hacked my account

Whoever moves at the start!

That is the usual actions, but it depends who is missing.

Wow!!!! Is that a vote of confidence in Cami-knickers?

Albert I completely agree about devil Darren he is a complete bell end and I’m so glad he has bugger all to do with our club anymore and like you say long may the rivalry continue for once we got the bragging rights this season.

Years ago I had a mob that took me and a gasman into the kitchen of a restaurant. It was disgusting. We were offered a cup of tea, and we refused that.

No Jordan Palin is.

and caught another

One of the things that drives me a bit crazy (not totally!) is when Kelvin and whoever he is with at the Grand Prix can't work out who has qualified for the semis and either still give riders a chance of qualifying when they have none or questioning whether someone can still qualify when they can't be overtaken.

Flash the cash Glasgow, by the bitter and jealous is a good place to start

Indeed- great minds think alike !!

Among all the stupid comments you make, to suggest in a round about way, that Rob Lyon is not as good as Swales is incomprehensible (if you know what it means),. Swales should never be in charge at Alwalton again. I dread to think how he would have handled rider replacement last season. You have the best team manager there is and it's ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Not quite correct- who beat who when they met comes before ranking.

I disagree. Since buster changed the track surface its been alot harder to pass and more gate and go. Buczkowski wont be able to ride the track like he used to

Hmmmm... As I said, I will keep looking.

Can’t believe that Harris still has SGP ambitions.

There's a novelty. Somebody guesting FOR Bomber

Not so sure Castagna knows every inch of track he never ventured past anything mid track

Yeah its fine for greyhounds as the home straight area is plenty big enough to house the few who attend those meetings. Anyone who thinks speedway is coming back now is deluded.

If last night had been 1 lap races ... would much have changed result wise? Wright "block passed" Hume in 1 heat and Barker would have finished more races....

The bit in bold make it sound like you are questioning BV as a racetrack based on last night alone, if I've misunderstood you then fair enough. Last night was a half decent watch without hitting the heights that the NSS has on many previous occasions, I think the missing riders contributed to that and R/R is always a nuisance. There is no if, BV is by far the best track i the country and very rarely is the inside line the quickest, usually there are multiple fast lines.

Always a few dogs at Peterborough. There's plenty of space over the back straight to walk them. Seen dogs at Ippo as well last week
