Maybe Dave's last microphone action can be found here: www.speedwayportal.com/cycle-speedway Special heat commentary and fuller interview near the start of the Senior European Individual Final coverage. True reflection of a great man.

The Poole Speedway site are reporting the death of the Voice of Speedway. Very sad news and condolences to those affected.

Adoring fans and quite a few others who are coming down for our last methanol fix for the season.

espeedway.pl reporting Martin Vaculik will not be returning to Torun in 2017.

Lee Smart fans should know that he will miss this meeting (and Buxton on Sunday) due to a long standing family commitment.

Can anyone provide the race time for heat 15 please as I think the one on updates is wrong. Thanks.

What does that involve?

What's the name of the shaven headed interviewer please?

Racing in Czech Republic at Pardubice since Friday.

Thanks for your feedback guys. Problem now solved following adjustment to some computer settings.

Who will do the track prep for this meeting because I assume Gerald will be at Lakeside? Might help the Wolves.

Andersen has withdrawn from the SEC - Twitter announcement from him.

Remember the BSPA must have sanctioned this change - if it was outside the rules they could have vetoed it.

Think the signing of Lindback by Poole will persuade BV to take the fourth placed side and force Lindback to tackle the tight confines of Monmore.

Starman will be in seventh heaven.

I have just come across an excellent website www.3318news.co.uk but eight times out of ten it fails to load and returns a server busy message. Any cycle speedway followers finding this or any thoughts?

Watty has now gone back to Australia.

Why has Robert withdrawn?

Just read in this week's Speedway Star that Dale Entwhistle has quit and this follows the resignation of Dan Holt. These guys were from the younger contingent of referees. We know Dave Dowling is retiring at the seasons end having reached the upper age limit. From the official meeting scorecards we never see a trainee named. Do the SCB have a succession planning policy, enough referees already or just hoping no more guys opt out? Any thoughts?

Porsing should be OK as he rode in Poland on Sunday.

As long as Klindt isn't involved for Poole, they should be fine.

New averages effective for this meeting. The Poole website confirms that Scott Nicholls has been booked to guest for Hans Andersen. Won't make any difference to a comfortable home win.

Ports former promotor Mervyn Porter was at the NSS yesterday watching. Still keeping in touch.

So David Hemsley did ride cycle speedway last Sunday at Poole. It would appear that he made the final of the event at Exeter on Bank Holiday Monday, rode and got back to Leicester speedway before it finished.

Guess it's Andersen. From a Poole point of view I would be more concerned about how the authorities view tooth ache / migraine. Hardly a 'speedway related injury'.
