Bloody hell, they've not ridden at home yet! At least let them get thrashed on Thursday night first

From a neutral i think basso needs to calm it down a bit, he often rides on the reckless side of things, which is a shame because the talent is obviously there. It was blatantly obvious he would of took cooks front wheel on the 3rd and 4th turn if cookie hadn't took evasive action. Being in the stadium and being a neutral it certainly spiced thing up nicely, ith the Glasgow fans obviously backing the home rider (which every home track support would) The bottom line is that if basso wants to continue to ride on the edge like the way he does, then he better prepare himself for a lot worse than that at the weekend, because at the top of the sport (where I think he has the talent to end up) there are a lot tougher and ruthless riders than Craig Cook.

I think he found him on Sunday!!!

FFS! It's a Challenge match!

Trying to defend the indefensible here Blobby his stupid tweet confirmed it was intentional. How thick can he be.

You sound anything but neutral in your summary. So Cook had to take evasive action…….so what?…..that’s speedway and happens all the time. ……but for him to retaliate by making a move which gave no time for evasive action to be taken is just out and out dangerous. At the time, unlike folks around me, I was putting it down to a racing incident till I read Cook’s disgusting twitter remarks. Basso fined for pushing? Cook let off for deliberately taking someone out?…….what a nonsense.

Lunatic really, boys an out and out racer. If only there were more like him.

Someone trying to be constructive about connections. The opposite side of the spectrum. Criticism is always welcome as long as their is a constructive way to redeem it. Most riders still around from the Bees era are either riding elsewhere or busy doing jobs, who would you like to see in the Coventry team? Well done to all at Birmingham for helping to keep the name of Coventry in the publics eye and lets live in hope of a return one day.

A big deal was made about Morris when David McAllan went through the fence. What's your point caller?

Would u have said that 12 months ago?

I'd leave Rob Lyon out of your equation on team planning. He only agreed to be team manager the morning of press and practice.

The more that gets announced early though, the more the scrutiny on here of it's legitimacy...... Best to just announce nothing and keep your head down... The beauty being of course that even if things may not appear to some to be 100% correct, your opponents will invariably need to do something similar later in the season so will hardly kick up any fuss... A 'win/win'. ..

IMO the thing about Monmore is that you need to have patience plus skill to pass( PK being one of the finest examples ) not just the biggest balls a fast motor with the throttle held to the stop for four laps .In the past riders came to the UK to ride the smaller tracks to gain the experience to make them a more complete rider .

Looking at comments on the Pboro thread looking likely Ritchie Worrall going to be available it’s opportunity to dump KK

He would have been allowed before the season had started,but he didn't come up with what he promised.You would have had a different team if he had put up what he had promised.Buster wouldn't put up with the burden of losing a lot of money just on promises. Put it simply,if I promised you say £30,000 to buy a new car and I give you £3,000 to start.Would you go out and buy that car straight away?Or would you think hang on I want the other £27,000 before I get the car or I will be left in the sh!t.It's not that hard to work out.Why would you want a huge financial burden on my promise. Only an idiot would by that new car wouldn't they?

Shame this is off I fancied Plymouth just to edge this 60-30 always the next time.

You have to be skilled to be good there and pass people, not just have a fast bike. Some do it well, others flounder.

Season ticket holders could get a refund for the matches they miss.. Sponsors are fans so I am sure will accept the odd missed meeting, and on the plus side, would now sponsor a team in a a sport with credibility that doesnt allow for any "strange" call offs like we seem to get from time to time, meaning also that their brand wouldn't be impacted by being associated to something that can be regarded as "a bit Mickey Mouse" when it comes to governance, integrity and credibility.. And maybe riders would be more inclined to ride on those 50/50 nights which currently see meetings getting called off more often than not, thus the fans feel a bit more confident on attending when all isnt "perfect"... Only being given a point for a draw would certainly focus the attention of the promoters to try anything and everything to get the meeting on I would think..

As far as I understand it, Bomber didn't guest for Scotty because Scotty hadn't ridden a meeting for Wolves. Instead, he guested for Boris, sorry, Luke Becker, who had also not ridden a meeting for Wolves. As they used to say back in the day, "Confused? You won't be, after this episode of Soap"

Flappy had a bounce out?

So u can wipe someone out,admit it wreck 2 bikes send other riders flying and just get excluded from the rerun but if u protest to the wrecker u get fined,mr cook must be laughing all the way to the bank ( again).

Touche Being there that night in 2017 is something I'll never forget, while part of me agrees that bygones should let be bygones I'm not sure I'd pay to watch a meeting with Holder or Batchelor in it ever again let alone employ them as riders if I owned a club.

"Seems perfectly legal" Let's face it, both of these situations are the sort of thing that Morris should be sorting out.

Whatever the rights or wrongs, speedway has made the National Tabloid Sports pages every day since Friday.

If the rumours are correct about changing KK for Worrall , I too will be extremely pissed off, and Brady, and Allitt will certainly hear about it.

They are unpaid doing this I am sure she has paid work to do in the meantime.

Opened in different browser thanks. So no Rob Lambert or Lindgren as rumoured. And no Pedersen so looks like he is gone.

The list is inaccurate as it's also showing Troy Batchelor

If you go on the scb website you can see a list of every rider registered to ride British speedway. Pedersen is no longer on the list so that definitely proves he’s gone, just keep your eye on the list when it next updates and you should find out if pboro have signed anyone

Ben is a talented and very exciting racer but around Ashfield he often rides like a lunatic, sometimes even trying to put himself into the fence. I can understand Cookie's anger as he had to take a lot of evasive action to avoid his front wheel being taken from under him on the third/fourth bend but it's Kyle i feel sorry for because that could have been a much nastier crash for him. He went over on his neck and was extremely lucky not to leave the track injured so a lot credit should come his way for coming out for the re-run.

They only need to be 4th from bottom come play off time... Then they can bring Lambo/#aceslegend back to retain their title so deservedly, and fairly, won last year...

Track was perfect up until heat 10 when rain started falling heavily.So no excuses at all for Belle Vue riders.

Coverage is exactly the same as last year... Full GP coverage including practice/qualifying on Saturday with no adverts on Discovery + Basic GP coverage with ad breaks on Eurosport.

Fairy Nuff didn’t see yesterdays update. That would make Peterborough a different proposition altogether. Think we’ve stolen an advantage over others here getting the win before the changes, because nobody else will be winning at the Showground. Tungate maybe ropey on some away tracks, but he’s very good around Peterborough. Louis will be delighted, the loan fee will help pay some of Emil’s wages

Iversen is 7.17,

It's Monbore. It's what it serves up. No surprise to read yet again of a garbage meeting with not one single moment of excitement. When will someone do something about that place?!

Could mean a lot of bonus points too, even if they're not great away!

Blobby, Why bother guessing when you don't know. Just makes you look stupid but then again....

Nothing much by the sounds of it it was last season Madsen fenced Janowski and Woffy supposedly got involved helping out Janowski.Suspect the article was just blown up to sound good.Read an article on Janowski a couple of years and think he can look after himself.Woffy was wanting a boxing match arranged with Madsen,but Madsen club wouldn’t allow him to take part. Publicly Stunt IMO.

Watching Polish racing at weekend they had a methanol tank in the pits... Presumably so all riders use the same source? It used to happen over here didnt it? If so, why not just go back to this system? Elf n Safety?

Lindback?

Why is it a joke, it just confirms Bomber guesting was legit, even though that’s not what all the moaners on here want to believe. At the end of the day there was a Becker sized hole in the team that Bomber filled nicely.

BSPA redeclared GSAs as of yesterday (Issue 4) shows Becker back in the 1-7.

If it's correct that Lindgren and Tungate are both signing then Tomalin is backing up the talk with cash injections imo, No way would we have a team containing all of Lindgren, NKI, Basso and Tungate if it wasn't for Tomalin pouring money into the club because Buster wouldn't be able to afford that considering he's got to cover costs at KL as well. Tungate is very expensive if the figure I was told at the start of the season is correct and not many clubs would be willing to spend that kind of money on an engine room rider imo. Lindgren must be very expensive too considering he didn't even plan on riding in Sweden this year let alone Britain so he must have an offer on the table that's too good to turn down imo.

1) Zagar is poor away, wouldn't have helped at Wolves, but might have got the win at home to Sheffield. 2) Aces can only drop Bewley or Kurtz to fit him in (unless they make multiple changes) 3) it's a bit early to think about changes imo, they've only ridden one home match!

Only cos it been vetoed by the sounds of it!

Hard riding!

Told Nicki is riding.

Really enjoyed last night's meeting . And fair play to Berwick. Most people thought it was going to be a hammering but they were solid and gave everything throughout. The Leicester side looks so promising. They are so young and lack experience but both Max's got stronger as the meeting went on and look future stars. Ashton looks a tidy rider too and just needs time and patience. Dan T is nearly unbeatable at Leicester..he's definitely claiming to big scalps in the prem. Well done to both sides. Also, I liked the flags around the stadium, I also noticed the painted fences that look smart. The flood lights are fantastic but I think they need tilting a little towards the track more. The centre green seemed brighter than the track it's self.. Overall a great night of speedway made by max James doing a super ride on his own ! The fans were super noisy when he won..what a fantastic moment for him..highlight of the night!

Don't be taken in by the haters, Roy is a master of his art and I would imagine he is the first person recruited every year. There have been meetings when he's been absent and the atmosphere was subdued. Honestly some people have no sense of fun. If you are following this thread Roy keep up the good work, it's such a shame that some people lead such miserable lives that they feel impelled to have a dig at someone who lives life to the full, you are part of the show and the attendances at Redcar speak volumes
