  1. You won't have Craig Cook either as Workington are riding that night.
  2. I've just got mine online. It's a printed off voucher that you present at the meeting, so I doubt there's a cut off as no post involved.
  3. If you prefer not to put it on here then it would have probably been better for you not to bring it up at all (whatever it was). Davy was a good servant to British speedway in general and I will always appreciate the effort he put in for Poole
  4. Good meeting, not as good as Swindon but then you'd have to go some to beat the Josh v Doyle heats. Crowd a bit down but not surprising given Kings Lynn is a fair old hike.
  5. He probably wasn't, but was the only one who was prepared to take the booking at short notice.
  6. It looked to me that there was as many there last night as attended the pairs meeting earlier in the season. Just reward , I think, for the tremendous effort that the promotion put into to the club, improvements to the infrastructure every year and always have time for the fans.
  7. It was a couple of years ago. Somerset booked a guest for Morris at Redcar. Swindon was called off and Morris contacted the promotion to say he could ride. Promotion contacted BSPA and were told no as a guest had been booked. I don't know if that's a rule or was just a whim on the night by whoever was on the other end of the phone, but it definitely happened.
  8. Adam appeared to have bike problems at the start of the meeting.
  9. The relevance is with the name Rebels not the flag. Much of the Monmouth rebellion took place in Somerset, the Duke of Monmouth finally being defeated at the battle of Sedgemoor. The flag in question is not the flag of the confederate states it is the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. It was created by their commander to avoid confusion on the battlefield as the flags of the Northern and Southern states were very similar. Here Endeth today's history lesson. There will be a test next Friday 😉
  10. Yes I did Not just the technical side, they are talking about a more even distribution of funds between the teams, which I think is just as important. More social media interaction to try and attract more fans and make them feel involved with the sport is also being discussed.
  11. While Bernie was in charge yes. Brawn comes from the other side of the fence and has more of a team prospective and I have to say I agree with him.
  12. Taken from an interview with Ross Brawn on changes to F1. I'm inclined to think the same applies to speedway. "That is something we need to discuss with the teams," Brawn said. "They have made a huge investment in these engines so you can't just discard them and say: 'We are going to change the engines.'
  13. I never break the seal until i absolutely have to. 😉
  14. With the squad that Torun has this year I cant see him getting many opportunities unless there are injuries.
  15. On the plus side I'll be there 😉👍🏻
  16. Very disappointed with the promotion last night. No trophys, no fixzy stuff for the guys on the podium, no fireworks and none of the promotion could be bothered to come out and thank the fans for their support over the season. Pretty poor show IMO.
