Glad I went thought it was a decent meeting overall, obviously not a classic with the lesser teams only really being spoilers but some half decent racing. However, why have race offs for 3rd. Denmark finished 6 points clear end of story. Also they got a 3-3 against the Aussies but won the race that should have given them 2nd. Also, in heat 22 the French sat in 2nd and 3rd . Bonkers. If the winner of the heats team go thru that could have been a good race. Also if a rider touched the tapes in heats 22 and 23 that team is out but if the winning riders team go thru it could still be a decent race even with 3 riders

Was thinking of coming down Thursday ,I've not watched last night's meeting but doesn't sound good although comments about the first two meetings was positive . Regarding lay downs when they where brought in were uprights banned or did riders have the choice.

Happened to me at Scunny a few years back the track staff did a great job after a downpour, the track was a bit dodgy for a few heats but then there was some great racing upto heat 10. You can probably guess what happened then

Track was a bit tricky early on just thinking if it's like that next week for us there should be some fun and games to say the least

I'd go with Bewley over Cookie , the experience would be massive for him for the future . Craig was out of his depth last year. When he's on form he can be a cracking rider but not riding in the pl this year puts him below Bewley for me

After witnessing many farce meetings at Stoke thru various reasons I vowed never to return, however it seems like things are gradually being turned around so I'l be attending this season. More than happy to support a club that's trying to change things around

I agree

With regards to holding the meeting up if there's a queue I don't think they should unless maybe there's been an incident of some kind. I tend to get to the Wolves about 7.25 and if there was a queue and I missed a race then tough on me I should have got there earlier

I have a terrible feeling it could be the circus, hope I'm wrong and it's a cracking night of racing

It says Ellis fell on bend 4, is it just bends 1 and 2 that's been altered or all the track

Just about I'd say

Tbh it's tough times for promoters at the minute and id be happy enough to pay £5 at the next meeting

There was 13 heats not completed so shouldnt I get in the next meeting for a fiver

So I've paid £10 for 2 heats tonight

Anyone know the policy on rain offs as when I can use my ticket from tonight,I can't get to next week's meeting

Bit controversial this but I was a big fan of PC in the 70s although I actually preferred Mort's style. I didn't follow speedway quite as closely around the mid 80s just going now and again . I've been checking PC's record after his win and then incredible 2nd place the year after. What I'm shocked at is he didn't really seem to be a serious contender after that. Am I talking rubbish?

Anyone know the figure for the first Golden Hammer

Or the same jobsworth who had the parking off me and told me where to park then has I passed him said the meeting was off

I remember that race Steve but I don't think I went to the meeting so I'm guessing it must have been on tv

If Sheffields in the Midlands I must be a Cockney

Fantastic well done Ricky

He was passing riders all night as well, could easily have won that year. Was it the year after Bomber won?

As good as Phil was not sure you could compare him to Ivan

I think it might have been

Didn't Steve Bastables sister have a race against someone in the 70s at Dudley Wood
