Think it was the heat that got to him , he is an elderly man . He spent the night in hospital in Whitehaven , got home on the Sunday . One of the Glasgow trackstaff went and got him

Heat 1: 3-3 (J Holder, Fricke, Iversen, Howarth) Heat 2: 5-1 (Patryk, Rowe, Edwards, Gilkes) Heat 3: 2-4 (C Holder, Basso, Pickering, MPT) Heat 4: 3-3 (Woffinden, Klindt, Rowe, Gilkes) Heat 5: 3-3 (J Holder, Basso, MPT, Howarth) Heat 6: 4-2 (Fricke, Woffinden, Iversen, Edwards) Heat 7: 2-4 (Pickering, Patryk, C Holder, Klindt) Heat 8: 5-1 (Iversen, Rowe, Howarth, Gilkes) Heat 9: 3-3 (Woffinden, Basso, MPT, Edwards) Heat 10: 4-2 (Fricke, C Holder, Iversen, Pickering) Heat 11: 3-3 (J Holder, Patryk, Klindt, Howarth) Heat 12: 3-3 (C Holder, Patryk, MPT, Edwards) Heat 13: 2-4 (Woffinden, Fricke, J Holder, Klindt) Heat 14: 4-2 (Patryk, Pickering, Basso, Gilkes) Heat 15: 1-5 (Woffinden, J Holder, Fricke, Patryk) 47-43 although it is going to take an almighty effort for the boys to do it. However, after last night I think Sheffield are there for the taking. Our best riders this season are probably 2, 6 and 7 and that’s their weakness that we need to exploit.

batch telling it how it is. straights too narrow to take different lines entering the corner so no overtaking

Well Cookie is the captain, so wouldn’t be doing his job if he wasn’t putting his views across would he. Many inexperienced riders in the Comets team The place in general just looks like a bomb site

Workington gated well on Saturday, so if they can repeat that tonight, an away victory could well be on the cards. Plymouth’s track is like my son’s exam results; no passes.

mains electric is a few hundred yards away , think its just the cost of getting it plumed in . you have to walk before you can run . but you more or less implied that worky had special treatment and help to join the 2024 shampionship , funding from the bspa and other stuff we only need one big light to operate and everybody has it andrew , steve and a good few workers/staff have worked many hours to get the northside track where it is today . a superb venue and improving all the time ..

Oh here we go! The Hokey Cokey at Owlerton starting early this year? What are we, 7 weeks in to the season? And you’re already calling for riders to be sacked! How about giving them a couple of months at least to iron out any issues? Jenkins at Ipswich could hardly buy a point in either league first few weeks of the season, but is slowly starting to get his act together. Give riders just a bit of time before calling for their heads ffs

Don’t tell Lewy that he’ll get all upset. Said that a few weeks back now riders saying the same.

The Mods need to clampdown on these posts

Well done Workington thoroughly deserved, good to meet the Workington fans,good luck tomorrow.

If the lights are as good as the track it will be racing by candlelight

I'm falling off my chair at these wild accusations!

So the guy who ignored British Speedway for many many seasons is after just a few short weeks back calling out the need to sack A) Young Brits just finding their way and whilst a little out of their depth are there because the the team has been front loaded to include him B A loyal experienced Brit in his testimonial year who currently is a bit of a slump Classy!!

AMB Transponders the ones we use in speedway are more for counting laps and timing each lap and are really Only used in MX and stock cars and the cheapest version on the market not really for first passed the post to the 100th of a second or the speed that speedway bikes go www.mylaps.com we use them in mx you can log into the websight after each race and get all the information on each race also if the battery is fully charged in one and another is less than half power the fully charged one will get picked up before the half charged one Think how many time in Speedway GPs do we see the replay of a tight finish being shown to see who finishes first because they can’t rely on their transponders there really no good for our sport

If its within the rules to make changes and a club has the finances and the ambition then I don't see the issue personally. The aim of the league is to try and win it after all.

In the best interests of the sport.Think you are a bit “ over the top” with your comments.

Awful track one of the worst I've seen in 55 years following speedway, but a win is a win worth the 400 mile trip on to poole 2morrow UTC

What a god awful track. Feel sorry for anyone who made that their first time because it was an absolute snooze fest. No passing, and whoever gates is the winner. The old northside training track was better than that.

Especially with 4 newcomers. Good to see them proving so many of us wrong. If claus can avoid his mid/ late season dip in form could be genuine challenger's. Tomorrow be the acid test

No it would not, thanks! Worky did really well tonight. Plymouth is not an easy place to go to and get a win.

Good to see the SCB reporting when riders aren't drugs cheats. On Sunday 12th May 2024 the Racoo Anti - Doping Team attended the Leicester Cubs v Belle Vue Colts National League fixture where two riders from each team were randomly selected and tested.All four riders tested produced a negative result.

How many years do I have to bang the drum about the sport using more usable engines

When you win you don’t look at the under performing riders whereas when you loose some fans on their back straight away, prime example when Sheffield won away at Leicester the other month Woffinden scored 5 yet nobody screaming for his head (he had enough of that in Wrocław!). Just seen Woffinden’s interview and might be a bit of reverse psychology re team changes to get a few misfiring riders firing, but personally don’t think TV is the place to air it

If that's the only change then God help them but I suspect it will just be part of a puzzle

Miles apart this year I’d say. Woffy is a winner, he wants the best out of everyone on or in his team. He isn’t afraid to say it as it is. Its not like he is lying!

Leaves Milik on a nice average for Poole next season. He’s a better rider than the version Birmingham have had this season.

But injury replacements are only allowed before the transfer cut off. You should have used guests from within the British league.

Sheffield's top four are going to score a LOT of points. So Lynn really need to limit Howarth and the two reserves to scraps to stand any chance. Seeing Pickering ride is going to be like seeing an ex girlfriend out with her new fella

Great news. Thanks for the update. He appeared to leave the stadium unaided, but with medical personnel around him, which was great.

Well. Your getting your change you wanted. wont make you better though. Can’t be worse than milik though

Team spirit probably is a bit iffy when your got 3 or 4 moaning faced Aussie's in the team if ya count Tai as one

We’re 7 weeks in to the season, seven, Sheffield have just lost their first meeting at home to an excellent side, and already the panic has set in and riders and now fans are calling for changes?? They’re still sitting 3rd in the table with two meetings in hand over the two teams above them, and are almost certainly going to be in the play off lottery at the end of the season. Why the rush? We’re in mid May! I just don’t get it.

The difference being that Belle Vue brought Lambert in from outside of the British leagues after the transfer cut off date, whereas Sheffield used him as a guest from within the British league as he had signed for Kings Lynn for the latter part of the season.

Sheff won the league last year by making changes so quite clearly they know what they are doing and its big part of the sport..7 weeks is plenty of enough time to find form and in Howath case he waa Poor last year as well.The bottom line its each to there own how they go about it.

Rising star isn't Rising, I would give Joe Thompson a go.

Got told cami got a phone call from a neighbour to say he'd left a window open in his house.it was overheard him saying as he left workington he didn't fancy getting robbed 2 nights in a row.

Camera work is embarrassing. Onboard cameras may work in F1, but certainly not in speedway. Great race out front and we watch Howarth’s handlebars

48-42 away win think the tigers heat leaders will be too much for the stars

https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-preview-birmingham-rowe-motor-oil-premiership-r2-h/ Nicholls again in for King.

Same again tomorrow be nice

With the form Milik is in, Sedgmen should improve the team, especially pushing Lampart, then possibly Pawlicki to reserve. However it's not a move that will turn Birmingham into contenders. Especially when they have points available for a superstar number one (if someone wants to come).

a proper motocross track .poor condition of the track . but we will still win

There is a decline in all countries. At least with numbers of riders, and has been noted for well over a decade. Anders Michanek talked about the huge drop in numbers riding from his day, in an early Backtrack issue At some stage the whole thing will cease to be workeable without enough riders. When i first started going to the local meetings in Germany, they had a few qualifying rounds for the U21 championship, North and i think South, due to the numbers. Back in 2003/4. I think it way before 2013/14 that they were dropped and there were even guest riders from the Netherlands in the final etc. The Bundesliga went down hill and the second division disappered and then started up a while later in a less attractive format imo. Some of the junior riders from the North were racing in youth leagues in Denmark instead of Germany But even as has been stated a number of times, the Danish youth system seemed to falter, and hasn't produced much in a decade. Lower numbers, despite council owned tracks being available more often than most countries.

They were up against better riders in my view - only Bewley was able to mix it last Thursday - as it was both Doyle and Emil scored less than I would have expected. Oddly in the highlights from BV last night Bewley was shown as team riding and constantly looking for his partner - he was castigated for not trying to do that at Owlerton. Sometimes you have to just gate and get the win and hope your partner gets something.

Dan T is one of the most improved riders in the Premiership this season can see him being a popular guest till his average changes.Looks classy.

The days of the old 1-7 representing your team from March to October with a liberall dose of either guests or R/R are gone! Teams want to win - thats fine by me and they will make changes to try and ensure that. Last year Leicester made changes to try and maintain their play off push and it backfired - it just so happens that both Bv and the Tigers employed Lambert and won! I am just curious who will he ride for in 2024 as its been alluded to he has agreed a deal with someone on a Kings Lynn thread earlier. Also should be noted that despite dropping points at home which they werent happy with the Sheffield guys were very gracious in defeat!

It was a very different Witches team at the NSS - where they have never won! The second round of fixtures will be interesting if both teams are at full strength for both matches.

Worky did not get approval off Mr Godfrey and Co till mid November after the promoters conference, by which time most teams were already signed up, as far as i know worky got no money off the people in charge, its a massive gamble for the promotion, but so far so good. the management had to think out of the box to sign a team, hence 3 new riders to the uk, let's see how they go at Plymouth 2morrow, hope you give the many travelling fans a warm welcome . UTC And I hope your track is in a better condition than last week

Some of the reactions on here are quite hysterical. A person committed a crime, was caught and served their time - happens all the time, get over it As for other speedway riders, we've had alleged and convicted corruption, multiple drug abusers, alcohol abusers, violent criminals, including murder and many of these are/were warmly thought of e.g. Lee, Morans, Ward. Very few have no victims, the drugs trade sees many deaths and abuses of people across the world. If he wants to ride speedway then I have no problem with that.
