these are the FACTS on heat 15.the start marshall tried to get ash upto tapes but ash indicated the other 3 riders were not ready also.the starter then went upto ash and was giving him verbal abuse very aggressively.ash reacted which i think any rider would have.in fact crump or pederson would proberly have decked the starter.they were getting very heated with each other and then armo got involved.however the starter then grabbed ash round the arm pulling him.whatever is said is one thing but physical stuff from an official can never be right.the ref then disqualified ash from the race and also the rest of the meeting tho it was heat 15 anyway.not sure if the ref disqualified ash for delaying the start or arguing with the starter.anyway,ive no arguments with the ref ,if thats his decision so be it.but this was started by the start marshall whichever way you look at it. in the first 2 re-runs they were pulled back cuz armo jumped the start.then garrity got excluded while chasing armo.in the final re-run allott got a flyer but i think the ref just wanted to get the meeting finished by then i can understand buxton sticking up for there starter but id just like to say to jayne just to check the video first.whatever the wrong and rights the starter caused the problems.no doubt about that. last point can anyone tell me is the start marshall allowed to grab the riders front wheel pushing and pulling them into line?i wouldnt have thought so.again i couldnt imagine messers crump or pederson putting up with this

fair enough on both points,nice to have a valid reason

only my 2nd time there but thought the track was much better than last time,the place seems to have been tydied up a bit as well.poor showing on the food front tho,surely if you run an event the catering should be open.they lost out on a bit of money.good job we didnt risk it and went to the kfc also,why the 8 oclock start? well done to the lads especially rich and tom but solid back up all round,also hope byrons ok,looked a nasty one

sorry about this i know its a bit late in the day but altho i enjoyed the meeting for obvious reasons ive got a couple a points i need to comment on.the first one is the lakeside track.its a good shape it has all the potential for good exciting racing so why does it always seem to disappoint.no real passing after the first two bends ,or is it just me?also,if len or someone at rye house reads this if you decide to track share next year could you do it with a track thats easier to get to or maybe change the race night.fridays are not good ,it took 4 hours 40 from the dudley area.a good change of track next year and easier to get to would maybe be bydgoszcz thing is im not joking!!!

see you will all miss us posties when were gone

this is not a mickey take,honest,but are there people who dont drink.how do you get thru life how can you have kids and not drink.i thought it was part of the deal suzi quattro has been the best entertainment yet singing wise and the daredevil motorbikes a couple of years ago were pretty good as well

looks like there will be more heathens fans than home fans again

brilliant-really interesting. ive always thought the nl averages should be in the speedway star

it was only 7 million

agree with all the comments,not a great deal of passing but still cracking close racing.superb heat 15,well done to all 4 riders.i think if luke hadnt of fell while leading heat 2 he may have had a better meeting and we could have got the win.then again i dont think joe jacobs will only get that many points again this season.a great day out for us and well done the fen tigers to any mildenhall fans in the know,are the 2 woman who serve the fish and chips always that miserable.you would have thought they would be smiling from ear to ear with the all the money they took off the dudley fans.i bet they dont sell that much at any other meeting this year

our lot will be there,not sure how many yet but looks like at least 2 cars.could be hiring a coach or going on the official one.time will tell but we will be there cracking emoticons

first time ive had something to eat from the cafe by the bar.superb

yo con say that agen guess weear im from

must admit im happy with armo coming back,he gives us much more than points.and remember just before his injury he was outscoring smarty.a good decision by will and nigel.hope they explain the vote against mildenhall on the 25th

well pleased with this news.all the best for next year adam.look out for the bear (tigger)

must admit i was a bit worried that there would be enough teams but its looking good according to the posts on here.fingers crossed next week

we are.btw i had a few drinks with a couple of non speedway fans,after a few ruby milds i tried to explain speedway rules to them.again!!!you should of heard the laughter

i think when it was under the one off final there was a similar system. im sure mauger used to come in a certain place in the qualifiers to guarantee a good race number in the final

i didnt think micky was allowed back into the nl next year?

i would be gutted if i was in your position but dont believe nl isnt exciting,i adnt watched much nl till last year but it was easily the best season ive had in the last 10 years. i know the situation is totaly different in that we adnt ad a team in 14 years and watching another team can never be the same but i urge you give it a go.the racing is much better than you would imagine.and the riders are much more approachable.i reckon the eoes is my favourite track and i would love to visit next year to watch the heathens.i really believe if they miss a year it could be the end and that would be a disaster for british speedway,as with coventry.ps it wont be empty when we ride there!!!

altho the stoke fans will be gutted i hope they continue to support there team,cuz if not they might not have one for 2012!!!ive got to admit i never thought the nl would be as good as it was last year.to all stoke fans,give it a chance i think you will be surprised by the quality of the racing.also roll on the dudley / stoke meetings. it will be nice avin a local ish track

id advise to buy the cheapest and move if your not happy.after the first four races when they grade the track move to better seats.cheeky but what the hell

the wild card will be whoever wins the british final. no chance it will change

agree with all the positive and negative comments

i must have been at a different meeting.well done to buxton thougherly deserved win and hope they go onto the double.however i saw very little passing after the first bends.maybe we are spoiled at monmore but this was not great speedway in my view.i reckon a newcomer to there first meeting today wouldnt return in a hurry.honestly this is not sour grapes as i say hope buxton go on to the double,they deserve it
