Ironically, I don't fill in a programme, I print a sheet off the Speedway Plus Programme Generator site ( http://www.speedwayplus.com/programme_generator.shtml ) and fill that in, but, I always buy a programme. Like you say, the lady selling the prog on Thursday did tell me it was an insert, giving people the opportunity to say "no thanks," but of course, you are left without filling the scores in anywhere!

Most track do it though. Why don't they offer the full programme + insert, if people want it, at the full price, or just the insert, for say, 50p (or whatever)?

Taken from the Newcastle website: Team manager George English had to again look back at defeat, saying: "Again ultimately disappointing tonight. Why our form, especially away from Brough Park, is so patchy is something we cannot put our finger on, but the lads know if we don't start taking good points they those vital play-offs will get out of reach and with the side we have this year we deserve to qualify, but it's in their hands. They need to start winning away from home."

It's where he started his career in the UK and stayed with us for 3 seasons before that unfortunate injury in 2012. He made his home in Newcastle, so he is bound to have a 'soft spot' for the place.

Perks (enhanced) 6.51. Ostergaard 6.33

Robert at 1. Stevie at 5. Ben has been at 7 last few matches with Connor at 6.

Fixture is now on our website (still not on the BSPA site though).

Perhaps they couldn't afford them during the winter!!

Glasgow have purchased track covers and are awaiting their arrival.

Yes it would. At Newcastle, for example, the starting traps are taken off the Dog Track once the race has started and dragged onto the speedway track, at the exit of turn 4 of the speedway track, just where the track covers would be. It's a total non-starter at Newcastle.

Been announced at Berwick tonight that tomorrow's meeting has already been called off as the Brough Park track is flooded.

It's been updated since the link I posted at 12.40pm.... ha ha ha smarta**e

The Berwick website today had David Howe or R/R, so, obviously, he was a doubt.

David Howe has Tweeted that he is riding tomorrow.

The team line-up (whether it is the one going to be tracked is another matter), will have been declared by now. Here's some clues>>>> http://www.berwickbandits.co/news/local-derby-newcastle-whets-appetite David Howe or R/R. Ruddick for Payne

They can't win, though. If the forecast had been right, then people would have said "Yeah, but it was obvious it was never going to go ahead looking at the forecast." Also, you have to consider the visiting fans (of which I would have been one). The only thing they can go off is the forecast, which (on MetOffice website) said rain all day and not stopping until about 8pm. It's currently saying rain until about 5pm. I'd rather it be called off early, than get there (or most of the way), to be told it's been called off.

Dandelion quote> Robert is now our number 1, effective on the 12th, Steve drops a little, Ludvig makes a little, Rose drops a little and Morris loses 0.01 points!! And surprise surprise... The reserves are both 2.00 (Although I don't think Ben will be for much longer) So Stevie will be number one for two matches, then Robert goes back to number one!! Jeez! Meanwhile, Ben has to ride 4 home and 4 away before he can get a 'proper' average

Very trying....

Elliot gets interviewed by Roy every week. It's an integral part of the meeting.

Who was the Trainee Referee?

So what do the BSPA vote on at the AGM ?

So, that's twice in a few weeks that Mr Vatcher has decided on a ruling. So, what is the point of a BSPA Management Committee?

4th at 5/4 fav.

David Howe has Tweeted that he got a 28-day ban when his daughter was in intensive care (and missed meetings, I presume and, quite rightly in my opinion). Is it "one rule for one, one rule for another"?
