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

Tai just acts like everyone should bow down to him. I don’t like his attitude at all. Who has a kid then swears on live TV in front of children. Grade A idiot. Mind you, that’s half of the Sheffield team. Good job they got done last night. Must have pained tai to say Ipswich were the better side!! only person I got time for is Steady, Pickering and Edward’s. Sometimes being down to earth and not arrogant stands for a lot.

Yeah, who knows, maybe the BSF scribes will have their way and Rory Schlein and some Russian geezer (I'm sure his #1 fan will remind us of his name) might be signed up.

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.

This is correct. I have family in a town called Edesheim in Germany. At the airport, when visiting, I was asked where I was staying and I said "Ede-sheim", only to be told by the airport official that it was pronounced "Edes-heim". Despite this humbling experience, I was still thinking "Land-shut" in my head until you posted that. Bloody English!

Why no TS in heat 14 ? shroek put cook out as a reserve replacement? strange or just another shroek cock up

Kevin Brice, 4 pointer in the lower league but when he came to KL had a great season, 5-1s with Henka were brilliant to see

Great news, should add a few on the attendance, especially from Sheffield to support 2 Tigers legends

Got to say well impressed with the way the meeting was run from paying by card everywhere , to the programme and 50 50 sellers and the refreshment areas. Also speaking to a few of the fans in the home straight the merchandise is very reasonably priced also. A bandits win to finish off a great visit .

The only cretins are those that are effectively calling for a track to be closed as there's not exactly a queue of would be promoters to take over if KC bails out (particularly if you discount those with big mouths and shallow pockets that seem to abound on this forum). Interestingly there's rarely any mention of other blatant call offs (such as Poole v KL when a furrow was "accidentally" ploughed across 1st bend due to Janowski missing that particular night)????

szkocjasid is spot on there’s a world of difference here. The forecast today for Birmingham is for light rain from 3pm, turning to heavy rain from 6pm lasting through the entire night. An early call off in these circumstances is accepted. We ALL can read a weather forecast. The difference is Chapman called off a meeting citing a poor forecast, when every one of us could see there was no rain forecast at all. It was blatantly another lie, another excuse to call off a meeting due to other reasons, probably another missing rider. He then realises he can’t use the same excuse again, neither can he use a “broken pit gate” excuse again when a couple of his team are away on Danish duty, so his latest call off is to just be honest for once and admit he’s calling it off because his Pole is missing! The Sooner this cretin is out of the sport the better.

There was a certain other southern based Australian rider who you more than welcomed back on a number of occasions
