Thinking of coming up to Berwick on the 14th then down to Newcastle on the 15th to finish 2 of the last 3 tracks I've yet to visit. Any recommendations for an overnight stay prefably somewhere close to the speedway on the Saturday

Cracking race hope you recognise how lucky you are!!!!

Have to agree I spent just over 10 years watching Wolves before we came back and the racing most weeks was awesome. I remember getting home and babbling on about it to anyone who would listen to me. I haven't been to watch the Wolves as much in the last 8 years but when I have it hasn't been as good. Agree I'm not a regular so could have just been unlucky with the meetings I chose to go to

Hiya Vince when I said the standard of riders has gone down I meant over here, I totally agree with you that the top riders are the highest it's ever been. How they do what they do on the rocket ships of today il never know. Sorry not to have been clearer

Tbf the core product hasn't changed but the standard of the darts players has gone up massively overall whereas the standard in speedway has gone down. Massively

And me lol, I switched my broadband to bt 12 months ago but only got the first 3 months free, I'm looking forward to calling them to renew my contract. If I'm not happy with the deal I'm tempted to tell em to stick it. Trouble is I want the speedway. Just had Virgin cable down our road so am tempted to ditch Sky as well but I've heard bad reports on Virgin with prices going up while in contract. But they all seem to do that anyway

I might be able to get a better deal in May for 18 months instead of 12 to cover the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Then again they put the price up even if your in a contract. Had a letter today saying when I'm out of contract there's a £6.75 a month charge ontop of the usual cost

Thanks for that I'm going to phone in a couple of weeks il let you know how I get on

That will probably happen

My broadband and sport contract is up mid May, has anyone negotiated a deal with them lately. Broadband is the 52mb one I think it's called infinity. Seen in the paper it's £24.99 for new customers, surprise surprise I pay more than that by nearly 50%. I had a good deal when I started with them. I'm paying £10 for the sport, it's just gone up from £7.50.

Any chance Freddie going to be fit for the start of the season, haven't heard much of late. Be a good addition to this meeting

You can't blame the star for non delivery this week it'll be chaos for delivery companies, I'm expecting something today if it doesn't come so what it'll get here sooner or later

Was always going to do the Steady meeting the weekend after but think il give Ben Fund a miss anyway and spend it at Sheffield. Sick and tired of being taken for a mug

Yes but surely there should be communication between the two, we had a car load going but everyone's not so bothered now

Speaking as an outsider I've been to Poole and Swindon many times and always enjoy my visits but there's no way you can compare the racing to the NSS . Or Somerset and Scunny which are my top 3 tracks

Fair enough I'm not in the know how things have to be run at the showground and maybe the speedway have no choice and are totally innocent in this, still makes it look poor though whoevers fault it is

I get it the speedway has no say in what goes on at the showground but what I don't get is announcing a time but not knowing another event of some sort is already taking place. I suppose really it should be the showground telling the speedway rather than the speedway asking. Either way it's the fans who get messed about again

You can get an injury shopping a washing machine, my poor back

Surely the question was asked to the showground is there anything else on that day and what time can we have the showground from. Why announce a time that's not possible. An honest explanation would help. Smacks of poor planning but I'm guessing because we're never told anything. Told my wife and she said why do you follow it, the sports a shambles

18.30 start is bad enough but that's not the issue with me , it's the first meeting and the times altered which just adds to the notion the organisation is shocking. It may not be anyone's fault whose involved with the club but year on year we get treated like idiots from most clubs. It's just one thing after another. Will I attend now? Maybe, but if the weather doesn't improve and warm up a bit I will like most have another think. Shame because it's the best line up for years. They don't seem to get it that speedway need the fans more than the fans need speedway nowadays

Anyone think that the majority of races put on there are rubbish

Thanks for advice il bear it in mind, been with sky years so il phone in a few months and have a rant

Il have a look when I'm out of contract but I'm paying a lot more than that for just one room, old sky box and no extras except sky and BT sport. No movies , box sets , hd etc. Thought I had a good deal at the time

I've just had a look at Virgin and it looks a lot cheaper, may move to them when my broadband deal finishes with BT

Looks like it's 11 from the European final
