DSC67

Need a group of plucky volunteers to put them down , preferably tonight , also it has to stop raining no later than roughly 6:30 pm to alow racing to begin

Bringing back Alex Edberg would be the wrong move and a pretty desperate one too IMHO . We need a reserve who can take 5 maybe 6 rides in a meeting ,is Alex that guy ?

What happens when you hear it from a guy in Tescos , who heard from a guy at work who was told by someone else ?

Aye , and it's not steak mince either , just a load of old dross .

As there's not a great deal of their usual Friday / Saturday night sport to show at this time of year ( no football or rugby etc) added to the fact that they have 5 dedicated sports chanells I can see no real reason why they would prefer a Monday night

Be great if this was held on a Saturday evening and given stand alone status . That would make it more accessible to fans who can't travel to Manchester on a Monday night , not all of us can justify taking two days off work for a speedway meaning it would also make far more family friendly

Won't know why they let Kerr go if Barker was unavailable , I suspect he accepted the guest booking before he agreed terms with Ipswich

PC & Mort plus a few more others will be able to name would be he exeception to that rule

Ben Barker signs for The Witches , Lewis Kerr now looking for a club

Great to get an away win and see TJ looking like he's getting back to last seasons form . Excellent haul from Dimitri and with all the others chipping in with good points makes a team effort , however I expect tomorrow nights match to be a much stiffer test

Hope not

Barker can't make a gate and is injury prone , should be ideal

Travel lodge in Berwick

That's why in my opinion it should only be a reserve who's allowed as a replacement

The force is no longer with that particular Jedi

With Seb Aden obviously out for the long term ,now the promotion are going to need to look at their options , guests may work in the short term , but not all of them work well do they ? Should we look to the future and bring in another new asset and get him a proper average with an eye to next season or go down the tried and tested route , personally I prefer the first option.

It's ok to talk t the talk in The Speedway Star , but will they ever actually walk the walk . Who is going to do the re-writing ? The same clowns who are responsible for the current mess with the draft riders ? If there is to be a new rule book then there has to be a proper panel set up with representatives from all corners of the sport and not just the same old boys club who's only interest is self protection

A bit to close for comfort for my liking , but a win is a win as they say . Some cracking racing with lots of effort from all the riders on bothe sides . Good to see TJ looking he's getting back yo his old self again he seemed to have some speed again , although Kevin seemed to be a bit short on power . Romano Hummel looked OK for a first night be interesting to see how he gets on at Scunny on Fri night . Another fantastic amount raised in the bucket collection last night once again speedway fans show what a great bunch they ate , well done to all . Did anyone see how Liam looked last night ? It's good to hear he's getting back on the bike again hopefully it won't be too long until he's got a Bandits race jacket on again as that will certianly strengthen the reserve berth

Terrible news for all friends an family , a young life taken to early my thoughts and prayers go out to them Ride in Peace Krystian

Coming from tracks like Costa Messa I guess Shielfield was a wee bit of a culture shock to Kerr , he did improve on his subsequent visits but after a debut like that that's not hard to do

Seb & Liam both injured , TJ still not 100% and a new rider at reserve this meeting may not be as easy as first thought . Has the look of a must win IMHO

Is he still riding ? Last I heard he was a trucker

Only time will tell . personally I'd like to see a strong rider in the No 4 race jacket

So what if he doesn't sing the national anthem It's hardly the crime of the century is it ? After all there's far more things in life to worry about . I wonder if from now on other riders who win GPs will recieve the same level of critasisam if they don't sing their national anthems , or is this all all about " he's not a real Brit is he " ?
