I see they are doing this daft thing when they don't put the teams in order on the web site, they must think people are stupid all you have to do is a take a a blank sheet of paper and fill it in when they announce the teams at the start.

My interest in speedway has taken a knock this season, had a couple of silly incidents and the lack of meeting for the brummies hasn't helped my watching so there has been a lot less meetings for me to go to and enjoy. That all changed at Buxton on sunday, I went but wasn't going expecting to enjoy it but this is what speedway is all about for me a well run meeting, that keeps the action going and a close finish at the end, the riders giving there all and no messing about, a very enjoyable incident free meeting that started at 3pm and finished at 4.15, well done to all concerned I just wish you had one next sunday. The only problem you have is you have to get those toilets sorted out, hopefully next season that will be a thing of the past. Thank you very much for restoring my faith in speedway, lets hope it carries on when I go to Coventry on sunday.

I would like to see Kirby go, falls off to much for my liking. Start off next season with Tom, Zach and Sam add smith and hopefully Wilson.

Raining again in Solihull, quite heavy.

Its gone dull here as well, not raining but looks like it wants to, bloody weather.

Gone all dull here as well, not raining but looks like it will, bloody weather.

coming up from Solihull for this one, got the week off, hope they dont mess about and I have a wasted journey up the awful M6, more rain forecast for 5pm. Wolves/cov select vs KL should be a good meeting if the rain stays away.

Cracking little meeting with some decent racing. I thought morley looked very good. A good night for him all the points and the helmet. Good alround performance from both teams, heat 10 was the best race of the night, I do like this level, no premadonnas just good honest racing and well presented as well even though we had a couple of showers of rain. hoping we can at last get another meeting at Perry Barr on wednesday.

any idea what the weather is like at the moment, may be coming early as something esle to do in the area.

Thanks RnR, Ill look at that tomorrow.

Any idea where you can get a score chart for this meeting, I seem to think it was on the Holsted site last time.

I havent been to the stock cars for a long time but like most other Motor sports it moves on and trys to keep up with the modern era, Speedway is ten years behind other motor sports and I have to agree with everything the above has stated. A few years ago when the Brummies were in the EL they took a mini bus to the Peterborough meeting and yes it was like an old peoples outting, there was even one bloke on a simmer frame. Unfortunally a lot of the Promotions dont seem to know how to get the youngers supporters in and there inablity to do this will eventully kill the sport.

This forum gets even wierder your moaning about a meeting that didnt take place and riders who didnt race so they couldent get any points anyway and its on page 7.

Anybody know the proper line up for those of us who cant afford a programme or dont want one, would sooner just have a scorecard.

Having been to Leicester last week and saw an awful meeting with one decent race it was great to come to Peterborough this afternoon and see a cracker of a meeting, love this track, roll on more sunday afternoons. Nice and close all the way through and a last heat decider what more could you ask for really enjoyed that. Happy bunny this evening.

Very cold afternoon, the stadium improvements they have made are to put some boards at the back of the home straight stands. The meeting was a bit boring and the Coventry team looked poor, best race of the day Garrity and Wozinak fighting for the win fantastic riding from both of these young men. Garrity looks to improved a lot and Leicester have a good find in the young pole. It was a very cold day, mothers day and two other meeting being run on the same day so I wouldent read too much into the size of the crowd. No clock on the centre green which I thought was a new rule for all clubs, the Ref missed Doyle stepping off his bike at the starting gate another new rule and King jumped the start twice in the same meeting should have been given a fine for repeat offence this isnt a new rule its just what I think should happen. Really glad to get in my car at the end and warm up it got to the point where I couldent wait for it to finish.

No I dont think it was, just highlights on motors tv.

For those of us who cant afford these trips, does anybody know if the highlights are going to be on MotorsTV this season, hope they are really enjoyed it last season.

I agree that its pointless to stop the race, isnt that the reason they have the black flag with the helmet colour board that they sometimes show to a rider to let him know he has been excluded. Could this be applied to the racing as well as they come round for the second lap the start marshall puts out the flag and the rider has to pull up and get off the track. This would keep the meeting running and they would soon get the message to stay still at the start, the biggest turn off for me is going back to the pits after a false start as somebody esle said go back to the start straight away any rider leaving the track is excluded and any mechanic coming on the track gets the rider excluded as well. I would like to see a card system put in place as well that goes through the season and if you get enough points you are out of a couple of meetings. While Im at it,I think the rider who touchs the tapes should get an automatic 15 metre handicap and not be allowed to be replaced by another rider at the tapes, speedway is a team event and the team should feel the punishment not just the rider. Putting a rider in as a replacement for a tape toucher only effects the excluded rider, the team managers would soon start to worry if this happened a lot.

Its does make me wonder at times, most of the support from these meeting involve family members and how many can travel on a wednesday compared to a sunday but your Probably right LH.

This might be a wild shot in the dark, but does anybody know how Jason Lyons is. Ive often wondered how his leg is since the accident that finished his career, at the farewell meeting we were told he couldent ride a bike and had to be very careful as it was taking some time for it to mend. Anybody over there in Aus or going any chance of finding out as the bloke is a legend around the Brummies and Belle Vue, it would be nice too know he is all better now.

Sunday meeting might help with some of the more distance teams coming to PB, Kent, Kings Lynn just to mention a couple and it might help bring in supporters from other local tracks with nothing to do on a sunday. Is this just Brummie meeting or does it involve the Heatherns as well.

David rowe, spot on.

Im not sure but the film "on any sunday 2" showed some of japanese speedway and it looked very boring.

Things I would like to see 1 get rid of the double point rule 2 tape touch automatic 15 metre handicap, no replacement rider from the tapes. 3 false start straight round to the start again, if you go off the track you dont come back on again. 4 bring back the rakers 5 card system maintained throughout the season to riders who try to jump the start or lay down on the track, get to a certain number of points and you are suspended for a week or longer and twice in one meeting and you are out of the meeting. Not allowed to replace the rider for the rest of his rides. 6 better prepared tracks all over the country.
