Updates on this meeting will be available Here

This looks like a good meeting to go to...perfect to keep the kids entertained at the beginning of the half term.

Yeah good idea Pete although not for me. Going away on the Thursday to drop the kids in Great Yarmouth with my parents so I can go to the end of season dinner dance on the Friday night.

No secret, probably just trying to sort things out plus also possibly waiting to see the outcome of the Craven Shield meeting tomorrow.

Just had a call from the stadium Meeting off!! * I have sent a text to LW to let her know.

Track looks like will go Pretty slick inside but enough dirt outside. Heat 1: Mear way too fast into turn 3 lap 1 through fence fast but straight up perfectly ok. From Gate Easy win. Heat 2: Martin passed Cook for 3rd with cut back off turn 4 lap 3. Heat 3: Hopwood clipped curb turn 1 lap 2 did well to save it before fence. Heat 4: Messy start all4back. Legg Down at the moment. Up now and walking back to pits. Short Delay before re-run. Bridger bike problems first lap both straight raised hand to signal slowing down then bouncing bike so possible fuel delivery probably lost a lot of ground but recovered to win from 3rd. Heat 5: Good first turn by Woffinden to go 2nd to 1st Legg to 4th to 3rd turn 4 lap 1. Heat 6: From gate first 2 miles clear. Heat 7: Waldron spun and fell in front of all 3 turn 4 lap 1 good avoiding action by Smart outside as others went inside. Went to back but recovered to win. Heat 8: Good 1st lap by Haines round outside to go 4th to 2nd. Heat 9: Good ride by Barker outside pass 3rd to 2nd tunr 2 lap 2 lifted wildly turn 4 lap 3 saved it missed win by half a wheel. Heat 10: Haines fell last bend lifted like Barker but fell off back of bike up and ok. Heat 11: First 2 level for half lap but Bridger used Wide line for 4 laps to win by a country mile. Heat 12: Legg fell turn 4 lap 1 texter missed who but another rider hit bike and fell both riders on track race continued with no red light. Other 2 in bend at speedway as lights came on. They went wide as fallen riders tried to clear track. Bikes and Legg still on track as Riders passed. Crowd letting feeling known to ref. Legg excluded from re-run Legg now up but limping. Heat 13: Bridger 3rd to 1st off turn 4 lap 1. Heat 14: Martin ex for Tapes. Roberts in. Hopwood locked up badly Legg hit him both down. Legg ok. Hopwood ambulance for ankle injury. Hopwood ex from re-run. Legg 3rd to 2nd on lap 2 home straight. Heat 15: Good opening lap round outside by Cook. Heat 16: tight 1st turn woffinden lifted home straight crossing line into last lap almost hit fence but controlled it well to maintain lead. Heat 18: Hughes for Lambert excluded tapes. Smart 4th to 3rd entering lap 2. Heat 19: Legg fell bend but pushed for 1 points because Haines had ef lap 2. Heat 20: Bridger won by length of straight. Run-off: Barker won easy.

I think so...will go and check.

Heat 7 - McConell Fell and remounted first turn. Texter says he was right about Johno taking a detour via the pub Heat 8 - Rain has eased off. Heat 8 - 2 reserve changes, McConnell for Masters and Holder for Woffinden. Music is even worse than Readings on Monday Heat 8 - Absolute procession! Heat 9 - Woffinden struggling for machinery. Really Slow as getting greasy with rain. Heat 10 - Masters Retired lap 1. Even Mr. Clean can't break 70 seconds in these conditions ! Heat 11 - Johno has clearly sobbered up a little! McConnell squeezed out first bend. Valient pursuit by hall. Challenge Race - Rosco on Mads' bike, Karger on Johno's. Boy those leathers look tight on Rosco. Rosco wins by a mile, a team place next season beckons!

Kenneth Hansen got the most entertaining rider tonite, Super meeting,. Courteys of Speedway Updates Also the reason why Danny King pulled out as posted by Team King on the Updates site " Hi all Just spoken to Danny King and reason for withdrawing from the meeting is illness. He has been suffering with some sort of virus the past few weeks and although he felt fine during the day once he began riding the sickness seemed to come out making him feel very weak, dizzy as well as sick. Therefore for safety for himself and others he withdrew. Sorry for the confusion and I assume people were not told the reason over the mic, so hope this clears everything up!! Thanks Team King " Fingers crossed he gets well soon, Ippo needs him this week!

Updates will also be available Here (Thread will be set up soon)

Huge thanks for this Steve, at least I managed to stay in throughout the whole series only to throw my usual caution to the wind in the final round and bet all bar 2 of my points......think in future I will stick to the careful route.

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
