I would just love to listen in if you ever got a complaint from SCB.

Perhaps he's hinting out that he doesn't want to guest so much? A few more scores like that and the phone won't be ringing very often.

I'm afraid it is much too big and would fill your computer hard drive. Also if you get confused and irritated with speedway rules and regulations you'd be tearing your hair out with some of these ones.

Zilch.

I wouldn't say it had one line - there were two nice blue ones by the end of the match, plus it was also possible this time to ride out near the fence as it wasn't like a ploughed field. I actually really enjoyed it today and counted only 3 heats where there were no passes. I love Peterborough - the racing, music, announcer, everything...... except the journey. Well done to the Panthers on their win (thank goodness) but also to Plymouth for riding so well, when due to recent results I was expecting an easy win ~ the Devils obviously had other ideas. Very nice to see Star Lady before the meeting started.

Well, if it's okay to quote my own post....that match was absolutely brilliant. Only 3 races with no passes. I love Peterborough!

Well, I'm going again today as I hope to go to all the Sunday meetings, but if the track is like that today too I have an idea I might just get a bit cheesed off. As a neutral I'd like to see some good racing as that's the whole point of me going but if the track is prepared purely to put the visiting riders off then I'm not going to be so keen on making the journey over from Leicester. The racing was brilliant during the Peterborough v Somerset match so hopefully it will be today.

Yes, pain in the neck with riders missing from the Belle Vue team, which was the reason I decided not to go, but no way would there have been as big a crowd as the week before anyway. I saved my money to to to Peterborough today instead but I have an idea it might be a bit cold in that grandstand.

Who do you think would be better?

But it's longer now 'cos he won't be riding on Sunday afterall.

Blimey I'm forbidden. What have I done to deserve that? I only said the 3rd/4th bend was really deep and wet on Monday and some riders were struggling with it.

Yes, I don't think Rory likes Coventry anymore as he's always riding for the opposing teams. Saw him riding for Leicester against Coventry last week and now he's riding for Poole against us this week.

Remembering what it's like at Swindon on a lovely sunny evening I'd like to offer you a bit of advice - wrap them up warm otherwise they will drop off. Ignore this warning at your peril.

Which is sort of saying they're not doing their job properly?

Well done Coventry on keeping it close. So Arron Mogridge and Ellis Perks......do they have famous fathers like Alan and Dave respectively?

That's good news. Well, it is if you mean Stefan Nielsen who I saw at Peterborough on Monday. Nice, deep track then - well watered.

Not forgetting Peterborough.....providing it's not like a plowed field so the opposition get the hump and give up before they start.

Perhaps to make it a bit more interesting an announcement could be made as to exactly which riders want extra track grading. If it's one or more of the visiting riders fans could pass the time away having a good 'Boo' or shouts of 'Get on with it'. On the other hand if it's Jason Doyle we can have a moan about 'Whingeing Aussies' again.

Yes but David is not the team manager as they've already got Norrie doing that job. Too many cooks and all that.

Yes but when Ulrich 'got in it' he fell off.

It didn't seem to work at Peterborough last night. Just seemed like a complete waste of time as it was still like a wet ploughed field round the outside, although admittedly I was overlooking the 3rd/4th bend so don't know what 1st/2nd was like but probably the same. The tractor did two laps after heats 2, 4, 6 and 7 but after that I stopped counting as Ipswich had obviously given up and weren't interested anyway apart from Danny King and Cameron Heeps who got stuck in.

Well, I'm not going to argue about that but I thought the Somerset match on March 22nd was far superior racing wise but probably not so good for Panthers fans as they lost. As a neutral tonight it was disappointing because only Danny and Cameron got stuck in and the track seemed to scare the rest of the Ipswich team.

I wonder if those 5 people paid up then?

Yes, but not today - didn't really enjoy that as much as other matches I've been to. Overlooking the 3rd/4th bend it looked much too deep and over watered so presumably the 1st/2nd bend was the same. After moaning about all the track grading at Leicester in the first half of the match on Saturday I'm afraid Peterborough had more.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned or not exactly why the start was being delayed as I just presumed fans were still waiting to get in and that was the reason but you're right on your other point about the grading. Just a simple announcement to say the riders have requested an extra track grade is all that's needed, rather than the tractor coming out for a few more laps when the match has only just started.
