Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the updates site? If so, could you please either leave a message here or send me an email or pm. Thanks

We got out of the car park fairly quickly to be honest...although the person trying to get in to the car park didn't help the traffic flow. Great meeting, so many people and a fitting tribute to Lee.

My problem was that she was insistant on putting the two minutes on with Nedermark still down on the track and receiving paramedic attention.....I was muttering ever so slightly and including some naughty words under my breath about that. Silly woman, riders can't make the two minutes when they are still down on the ground!

I have been to various meetings over all leagues for quite a few years now and have seen various riders from the same all leagues coming off and staying down. I'm not saying it is right, in fact, in frustrates and annoys the hell out of me (whether it is my team doing it or the opposing team) but it does happen pretty much all the time, so in that, Ipswich are not the only culprits. Obviously, I cannot comment properly on what happened last night as I was not there but I do understand how the Monarch fans must be feeling...but then I also understand the views of my fellow Ipswich fans and the promotion. It happens, it is normal...even if it should not be.

Hmm, it is the other way around, I am the younger bit of (not very good looking) stuff on his arm.

Ah don't need to go on the pull anymore Dekks........

Just to be clear, which part of the updating team are you speaking about? The updater can only report on what the texter has sent and the texter may have a different view to some others at the track...as I know only too well as from my vantage point, I can miss what is going on on the outside of the back straight and someone on the back straight can miss things going on on the home straight. Coupled with that, texting from a meeting (or updating from the texts for that matter), is not as easy as it appears. It can get extremely stressy, you miss out on the social aspect of going to the meeting, if it is raining or cold, you can't just put your hands in your pockets and thing "Oh begger it", you have to keep on going. From the other side (the updating from the texts sent part), you have to keep an eye on the thread for adverse posts, load all the info into the template quickly and efficiently (sometimes having to decipher what the texts actually mean!) and of course, we all have home lives, so hassle from loved ones, the phone ringing, someone at the door etc can lead to little mistakes creeping in. Mind you, my mistakes (and I do make them, I am not immune by any stretch of the imagination and I have been doing it since 2003!) I think are more to do with getting older and easily distracted...... I think something which is often forgotten, is that the team members are not professionals, they are just normal fans like everyone else. It is not something they are paid to do, in fact, they pay to get in to see speedway just like everyone else....there are no real positives to being a texter, just a fair amount of stresses and loss of enjoyment (although there are some weird beings who actually like texting from the track ), so to a huge extent, we rely on the goodwill of fans attending tracks for the results. All the team members do try to be accurate but alas, sometimes mistakes do creep in, something which we apologise for. Hope that helps

So glad we were not the ones covering this meeting tonight......I'm as scared as anyone of ML and would not want to be incurring her wrath!

Just found some on the Plymouth Speedway Facebook page

Afraid I had no offers at all.

And still need a texter.....anyone?
