Just for one moment I thought I was famous but then I realised no chance of it ever being me and Lucy because she's always out of sight stretched out asleep.

I wish we had options other than just the 'Like' icon similar to those on Facebook then I needn't have bothered writing this.

NO! I always use my Peterborough Sunday afternoon visits as a method of avoiding having my ears syringed. Love their music. Yes I agree. Not only that but also take your 4 legged friend if you wish. I didn't go yesterday but I know someone who took their Greyhound and I'm sure there were others as there are normally at least 10 there for league matches.

Yes and that's why I wouldn't bother going again after our last experience when the match didn't start for 40 minutes, followed by other delays. There's too much messing around these days.

How did they manage it years ago? There were never any sun breaks then so what's different now? I usually have to drive back from Peterborough's Sunday meetings with the sun really low down below my visor. It's not ideal conditions but I manage to drive okay without hitting anything and don't pull up for an hour waiting for dusk. Incidentally I'm pretty sure the riders representing Kings Lynn were ready to race in that heat and as Halifax Tiger has said there was no difference in the style of riding once they did get going without the whingeing Aussie so it can't have been that bad. It had already taken one and a quarter hours to run 7 heats. I bet all those people Neil Matchin was escorting round can't wait to come back again.

Hopefully. That's hopefully flash in the pan.

Probably because the Leicester riders are that used to referees agreeing to every little wim and allowing bloody sun breaks it came as a surprise when one told them to get on with it. Well done Jim McGregor ~ hope he comes back next time the sun is shining. One race? Don't make me laugh. I stood there bored stiff for an hour the other week when there was a sun break.

Yes it's a load of rubbish. The Premiership team might want to go down (Leicester?) but the Championship one won't want to go up. Should be interesting.

The hundred or so fans who turned up might go home happy but the rest would be sitting at home because they're not interested in any form of racing other than league. Sorry it's a good idea but sadly wouldn't work.

Sadly not much stays in mine these days. Anything new that goes in automatically deletes older ones as my memory database is full.

Yes that's true but I got the feeling after Leicester's performances this season it didn't really matter and the fans just enjoyed all the 5-1's. Not often you see team riding these days. Regarding the crowd ~ I think a lot of tracks would be pleased with the amount of people there tonight. Probably not as big as usual but still pretty good. Good summing up. Heaven knows what Garrity was up to but definitely something. He couldn't have been that unlucky to start 15 metres back three times. Thank you Mr McGregor for not allowing a sun break as the match was drawn out enough as it was with just 7 heats gone in an hour and a quarter ~ 8.45 when heat 8 started. I must be mellowing in my old age as I actually enjoyed hearing Peter York's voice again and thought he did okay.

Ah thanks. At least I got the 'M' bit right. Thanks for all the details.

It's a shame you do that. I don't do Twitter but enjoy Facebook as there are some great groups on there ~ Nature Watch, Speedway, Border Collie, German Shepherd, Staffordshire Terrier etc., all of which I am interested in. It's not all rubbish and photos of people's dinner.

This must have been a different meeting to the one I was thinking of but I'm sure it was Middlesbrough. They refused to ride so Long Eaton's riders scored 5-0's in every race. Also at Long Eaton on a lovely June evening, with Ove Fundin and his wife present, the track had been over watered and the match called off. I can't remember which team was the opposition then but I know I was cheesed off driving over from Leicester for nothing.

It should be a concern of Holder though.

Thank goodness for that or your quotes would have been even longer.

Good. Sign those 2 and I wouldn't bother going again.

Only the best posts because they're obviously ones you agree with. I actually think Pinny has the best name on the BSF and has written one of the best posts.

But the deadline is today isn't it so if Rosco works quickly he could get someone. I suppose the rule was put in place to stop out of form riders getting a fake injury in order to bring in a better rider but unfortunately it backfires when the injury is genuine like this one. Steve just beat me to it.

Somebody obviously didn't let the 2 women on the first security tower know the rules as we were allowed in and the dogs made a fuss of through the open window. Check Point Charlie 2 was where the problem started.

Too true. That bad they won't even allow dogs in the car park but they can be left in the lay-by up the road which is apparently supposed to be a lot safer.

Why do people do that when it's possible to just use the 'Hide' option so the post disappears? Deleting gets me wondering what on earth was said, was it very interesting and what have I missed.

Look no further than Leicester's new track which served up rubbish processional racing for years so how does Starman work that one out.

Thank you.

Well in spite of the final score there was some cracking racing tonight proving that the alterations to the Leicester track have definitely improved it. Very impressed with Thomas Jorgensen and have been wondering if he is any relation to John who rode for the Bees. Anyone know?
