I dunno how to copy the post but it said summit like " just to compound the weather situation the power supply to stadium had been cut (12.05) and still not restored" That was posted at 16.08 i think.

The post is still on Scunthorpe Speedway Twitter page, i think it said it happened at 12.05 and posted on the page a few hrs later

It was on Twitter that the power supply to the stadium had accidentally been cut at around midday.

To be fair i've saved my parents many a wasted trip by checking on here or even got them to turn round on route if their already set out for a meeting an hr or so up the road.

Exactly, my local club Ipswich always had t phone manned certainly midday onwards and could just phone up for an update if the weather looked dodgy, not sure if it's the same these days coz i just check on here if i need to.

Like i posted earlier if the fanbase was 80% under 40's then haps they'd be up to speed with Facebook, Twitter and various club/speedway websites, but it's the other way round and the fanbase is probably 80% over 60/70's and the majority of them don't use social media or even know what it is or how to actually use it.

I see a couple of ex Newcastle riders are in the wars, had a video flash up on my phone of a crash involved Rene Bach/Nicki Pedersen from 18th May, think Bach has a broken Femur and Pedersen has broken Ribs and a punctuated Lung according to early reports

With speedway having mostly an ageing fanbase social media ain't really summit they actually use or even know how to use, that's most of the problem, my parents are both in their early 80's and wouldn't have a clue about which websites to use for information, best they would do is ring the track and hope someone actually picks up the phone.

On the subject of females in the sport, sad to about Sophie Blake's (Scott Nichols ex) health issues in this wks speedway star.

A women commentating on football is as bad, it just don't sound right to me, im not sexist and diversity is fine but for me it's a no no, I'd rather watch to match with the mute button on

Hume scored pretty much what Starke would of got to be fair, problem lies when King, Riss and Batch only score 5 each

It's hard work listening to Ermolenko

What i ment was he had an experienced co-commentator alongside him with Nigel to bounce off, at the moment he's on his own apart from whichever guest sits next to him each wk.

Yeah i thought the 3 of them worked well in their rolls and that being said im sure Kelvin in time will grow into the lead commentary roll, and like you mentioned i think Scott is better suited being in the pits/trackside then stuck in the studio as previous yrs.

Someone's put a bun in Marcelina's oven

After hearing Rosco co-commentating on Tuesdays match on the streaming channel im not sure who comes across more of a numpty, Rosco or Sam

I'll have to go round and see what their doing coz their both telling me they just hit the home button on the handset at end of each match and return to normal TV and don't touch the sign out symbol, god knows what's going on but i know it's a right pain

Has anyone had problems with login in/out, why i ask is because i always leave my parents signed in as they have trouble as their elderly using their TV handset to fill in their email address n password, they just refresh the page when they want to start viewing a match, anyway they went to watch the stream last night and they were signed out even tho they hadn't signed out after watching last wks match, it's twice now that it's happened, i don't mind as i only live 5 mins away so not far for me to go to sort it out for them, just strange that it does it.

Im sure i heard him say summit about wolves and kings Lynn having the same shape/size track

U can't plz everyone hey, didn't have an issue with it myself, haps the person moaning should have a go at it and see how easy it is when your doing a live feed and your Johnny on the spot.

I ain't sure how you actually go about subscribing to sports/entertainment package, can't see nowt on the normal Discovery+ app on my TV.

Cheers for the heads up, saves Saturdays match clashing with the first GP of the season

I agree with what you say, their blown the sponsorship money on Doyle if you ask me so won't be making no drastic changes, and will keep with Hawkins golf buddies no doubt

Yeah i fast forwarded 7 days to next Saturday on the Eurosport 2 planner and it's now showing on there

Just rolled the planner forward 7 days on Eurosport 2 and it's now showing the Grand Prix on there
