Might have been Stuey Robson with his big off at Brough with David Ruud about 2003.

Higher ranked in the list of draft riders for the EL.

Exactly. No ones to know about Scotty.

Just as well you don't ride for the Diamonds, and Roy having to announce your name.

I can understand their position regarding you. Yep, nobody loves a pedant.

If he won't, then can I kill him. I could ask stevebrum to take the rap for me.

I don't have to. That is the job of your promotion, and people like you purporting to know the answer but being very coy about keeping the secret.

Even with warmed shale material as well.

Full of information this week, why not last week.

I hope you don't bet much then.

Now that would be a good cause, oneway of course.

Used to like his voice at the TOON when he was twinned with Alan Robson. If he had been born earlier you could see him challenging Alvar Lidell for the war announcements. Now it's just wor announcements. Bryn Williams of Hackney, IOW, and every other track, also has a good special distinctive voice for announcing. Just don't tell the old bugger that.

Just hope there is no H & S on the horizon. Crumpy I am sure will keep us informed.

"badly handled and with no detail" (edit for accuracy).

So why all the secrecy. If it was the BSPA you would be demanding to know as if it was your right.

I was there in 1961. (and 1949 once)

Just turn up with money in hand.

Well the steps are all yours now. The club shop facelift has also been finished as well.

Ask Malla of his version of events and he can assure you that an honest decision was made, after a lot of work had been done and was definitely not 'defo wrong'. Why lose money and do so much work if it was going to be off anyway. I sometimes think we should move BP nearer to fans house's, as they seem to get all the dry weather.

Not really guesting in the true word but it probably means he knows it is not permanent. I would expect him to be riding in our next fixture. NOW THE GOOD NEWS At long last, the main straight stand has got most of it's steps back. All the steps from the 4th bend to past the refs box, have now been opened for use, so if it rains in future meetings, there will be somewhere to go and get cover. Also of course, those who stand at the end of the stand to watch those wonderful sweeps around the outside of the 3rd/4th bend, well normal service has now been resumed for you.

He must be in our 1 to 7, or our team would be illegal with only 6 riders declared. It doesn't stop him also being Swindon's draft rider. My guess is it is a holding appointment for later, or sooner, action to our 1 to 7.

Given the amount of rain that fell in the couple of previous days(my garden was flooded twice), and then the forecast for Saturday night and all of Sunday, that was a hell of a risk to take. I called the training session off mid afternoon on the Saturday during another deluge, as I could see that the track would be completely flooded and I didn't need to look at the doggy TV channel to see the actual track later on Saturday. On Sunday the track staff started early in hope they could get it on, and I went up about 12.30pm and they were still sucking water off the track, and no actual work had been done to the track. If the later showers had not come, they had reckoned on working on the track to get it dried out and make it raceable before start time. They were trying to genuinely make the track ready for a meeting, especially given the distance the 'Boro personal and fans had to travel. We had started to put the air fence up, and everyone had to stop and leave the track during the first cloud burst and, after we returned to our work, a very big cloud came across and it rained heavy again, but for a longer period. Now the track was totally soaked, and not just the inside of the bends. It was a no brainer to cancel the meeting, and in doing so lose the money on stadium rent, teams travel costs,etc. If it had been me I would have called it off on the Saturday night, and then posted the pictures of the track on the Sunday. Instead they made the effort at a canny cost to the promotion. As Abbott has already said, do and be damned, don't and also be damned. All right to say how fine it was on the Sunday night, but some people must live in very dry secluded places if they didn't see the rain that had fell previously. Arson Fire obviously didn't know about the hail shower in Wallsend on Sunday afternoon, or see the pictures of it on Facebook. Other must not have read the meeting thread on here, which also told people straight after the decision that it was off. I really don't understand some reactions on here at times.

Not long been back from the track after dropping the fence down. We had a lot of rain yesterday, but very little late and through the night. Forecast said rain this morning with showers during the day, but before NOON, it was a glorious day , warm breezy and dry. Got to the track and there was still water on the track, but it was felt we could get the meeting on, especially as at that time the Boro team and travel fans would have been on their way. A heavy shower came over, and all the track was very wet, and about 10 minutes later a longer shower which the track could just not take. A brave attempt to try to get it on, not even a likelihood yesterday afternoon with all that rain, but all to no avail. Schramm not down to ride due to back pains, where he apparently he already has a plate. No doubt he will be grateful the postponement will give him a longer period to heal. Best decision to cancel from a lot of angles, no doubt the team changes will occupy the minds to see what should happen next with the team.

Weather has done an amazing turnaround during the night and today. Either that, or the met Office have got it wrong again. No rain today, a bit of sunshine and a breeze which will help dry the track out. So it seems like it's all go for tonight. Come on the new Diamonds.

Jason at the moment, has his bike up for sale on Facebook.
