  1. Track had too much water on at the beginning which created alot dirt which had to be bladed off,which was fine, it was dusty but difficult to manage in the hot weather problem with tapes which could of been sorted quicker instead of trying to repair should of went straight to green light starts hindsight a wonderful thing. Josh Pickering showed how track can be rode and actually made Plymouth riders ride different lines racing was good usual Plymouth critics jumping on the bandwagon but if no one likes us who cares,we don't. Decent crowd in aswell.

  2. All the moaning,we all have seen “crap” speedway meetings,poor track prep and electrical problems maybe uncommon but I would bet we have all suffered it at sometime.I certainly seen worse racing.Need to take a leaf out of the Josh Pickering book and just get on with it.

  3. Of course it all sounds logical but that doesn't mean that you have to give up and accept it. It's a weak one sided argument from Butterfield who's obviously feeling the heat as friends and family plead for the planning process to be speeded up and the EEAS whine that they need the money. If AEPG can't navigate their way out of their local plan and NPPF responsibilities then they are going to have to find new land (on or off site) and dip their hands in their pockets to pay for it. Or as the BSPA say, it shouldn't even get that far? The Save Peterborough Speedway consortium may stand alone but it doesn't take much to hang this planning process up. AEPG know that and the last thing that they need is more delay and timetable slippage!

  4. Not all Edinburgh fans hate Kye, there is only a small minority that post on here Hats off to wee Sedgy tonight, great effort - and Picko will be back, very uncharacteristic meeting for him

  5. But on the flip side if wasn't a trappers paradise would sedgy have got 14? Always frustrating to see your no.1 score so poorly but never just as easy as saying if he'd scored 10 you'd have won 50-40. But if picko and Ben cook can't pass on a track you know it's bad

  6. It's quite wrong that the NDL tail is being allowed to wag the Championship dog. Things must change for next year. All Championship teams signed up for a theoretical maximum of 18 home meetings - 8 league; 4 BSN; 4 KO Cup and 2 Play offs - so 16 league meetings (2H and 2A) and two play offs would be the same commitment .

  7. The houses was sold when Dunblane and the Orion’s was build .The speedway track was there then and when the shows was on traffic used to go in that entrance. The residents had no problem then.

  8. No doubt we'll have everybody from Poole telling us it's not normally like that, like they did with the Redcar match and like they do every time their track is exposed on TV

  9. When you have racers like Josh Pickering and Ben Cook struggling to nail a pass tells you how poor the track is.

  17. Overcast in Poole today and forecast to be the same throughout the day. Might even be a slight risk of some natural watering to assist the track prep. Edinburgh boys will be well fed and watered at Middlo's overnight so looking forward to a decent meeting.

  21. It would be impossible to be worse than tonight. The amount of time it took to sort out the green light starts was incredible, so much dust and we should all be grateful for Pickering, he was terrific, I hope he has a good night tomorrow as well otherwise it will be another hammering for Edinburgh.

  30. To say what he did that night was just completely tone deaf from somebody who is supposedly a speedway supporter. Especially as it was on the eve of the Public planning inquiry for Coventry which showed everybody what can be done if there is a coordinated fight, whether that concludes successfully or not remains to be seen, but to just roll over without a fight after 50 odd years is totally unforgivable. If he didn't want to put up a fight, fair enough, but to dissuade others certainly rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way.

  33. More than likely SON will be available on Discovery+ either full version or shortened for some time . I can still view last years GPs. Alternatively, if your mobile will cast and you have a tv in your caravan that will receive then you will have it available in your caravan.

  39. The consortium fighting to save Peterborough Panthers Speedway Club has challenged development agents AEPG to prove their claims made in a Peterborough Bondholder's network meeting that their plans to redevelop the site is supported by 50,000 / 100,000 people. In the same meeting, he branded speedway fans fighting for their club a “selfish, small cohort.” The 2022 title-winning speedway club and their race track have been removed from the East of England showground- their home since 1970- to make way for a multi-million pound 1,500 homes and leisure-village complex; consisting of two separate planning application of 650 and 850 homes. Over 2000 objections to the plans to create a new leisure village on the East of England Showground have been submitted.

  44. I’ve read that Tobi is far from impressed with the unprofessional way Lynn is run compared to how Swindow & Sheffield have ben during his time there. He’ll either be back at Sheffield as a replacement for Tai or Ipswich in place of Doyle….

  45. Not seen the accident and I don't have any desire to. But I find it hard to believe that any rider would go out of their way to deliberately injure another rider and serious one at that. It is said that Tate and Keynan are close friends, so it is even harder to believe it was deliberate. As I have already posted best wishes to Tate, lets hope he makes a full recovery from what appears to be a nasty crash. Also lets hope that this does not have an effect on Keynan mentally as I am sure he will be upset that a friend has suffered and injury.
