Waiting for that old codger on the centre green to come out off the loo , at his age it take a wee bit longer these days

Anton Rosen anybody ? He looked a decent prospect to me & I though he was unlucky to get the boot at Newcastle due the numbers game

Congratulations to The Panthers , they came they saw & they conquered . A big thank-you goes out to Stevie Worrall for his efforts tonight its a pity your "teammates" couldn't match you efforts . The Bandits were awful tonight there is no other word to describe it ( no ones I can use on here anyway ) , its a long time since I have been that disappointed after a Bandits meeting , ATM I'm struggling to find anything positive to say , I suppose we'll just have to put that one to bed and try to forget about it and move on to the next meeting .

The bandits will join the list of other teams to lose at the OTA this season

Ok time to put a lid on this I think its been done to death now , normal service needs to be resumed , can we get back to arguing about the state of the track or which rider is for the chop this week ?

Yes that's true in this instance , but it wouldn't be the first time or will it be the last time for that matter, that the rule has been abused in recent seasons would it?

Until recently I was under the impression that the use of mobile phones at all tracks was banned from the pits area during racing

Why didn't Richard Lawson report his suspicions to the meeting referee ? Surely if this allegation is true the referee would have reported the matter and a statement would now be on the BSPA website ?

IF , and at the moment its still an IF , the paramedic was under the influence then they must have been that way before the meeting started , if that's the case the surely the match referee or clerk of the course would not have allowed the meeting to start without adequate medical cover .

Planning restrictions don't allow racing to start any earlierNo doubt the SCB will order a full inquiry into the circumstances behind last nights fiasco , an investigation will take place but as always in speedway nothing will ever be announced or come of it . Speedway fans / customers are treated like mushrooms ( always kept in the dark ) when we should be treated like royalty

I'm sure that curfew for week nights is 10 pm due to thel later start time

Curfew for weeknight meetings is 10 pm The track seem very patchy , with a few riders picking up unexpected grip and struggling to cope with conditions

Not half as silly as the person who can't even get the surname correct

It's not the first time this season that has happened , same thing with the Hall / Auty altercation , seems that the cut out is not 100% reliable

Bandits by 10-12 points I'd imagine

Quest TV & Eurosport are the same company both owned by Discovery TV

Quest Tv & Eurosport are owned by the same company , so last night it was basically another Eurosport channel for the duration of the GP . Great to live speedway on a FV platform , that would help to open the sport up to a much wider audience , it would be interesting to see the viewing figures compared to previous GPs . Unfortunately I cant see it happening again unless there's another scheduling class , but I suppose we can live in hope

600 Euros I heard

Who cares if the seats are comfy or the toilets are plush , that's not going to attract more people to the sport is it ? What we need is better racing on a decent surface like the one in last nights GP , improve the on track product first then worry about the stadiums

That was all for the benefit of the TV cameras a lot worse goes on in the pits that we never see

always been one of my favourite comedians ,he's great on QI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hoq6ohIsYKU

I've seen a lot worse moves at Berwick on a Saturday night , there's been a massive over reaction to this

Best wishes to Kyle

IMHO we blew the chance of a point tonight , cant understand why KD was in ht 15 and the decision to take Liam out of ht 9 seems strange to

Put your fishing rod away
