They did and that was the reason I watched the replay to check. It was also noted by some in the pits. Must say the Doctor was hardly a good advert for his profession although I am assured he is a very good Doctor..

Anybody notice that Heat 12 was started when the Doctor was seen on TV still attending Jason in the pits, and therefore technically not available.

About 3 years ago we paid £87 for the Holiday Inn and booked for the following year but it had gone up to £155. Decided after booking to go into the Halls at the Uni, and then found that the Holiday Inn had already taken the money non refundable as per the small print. Bloody robbers.

Think he is going to get shafted like.

Ludvig regularly sees Rene at Brough, and they sometimes travel together with Claes down to Heathrow after our meetings. The Newcastle connection obviously worked for Rene, and I was pleased for both Rene and Adam given their recent injury problems. BTW Ludvig's bike actually scored 21 points on the night.

It's always one of the contentious things with calloffs Ian. Leave it late and there is criticism about wasted time and money. Call off early and there is criticism that the meeting could and should of gone ahead, and you risk the fans imagination as to why they weren't able to see speedway that night. Len Silver at Rye House is renowned for very early calloffs, especially with teams that have some travelling to do. Many a time we have received a call at 9.00am on a Saturday morning, and we have been staying overnight at a hotel in Swindon, following a meeting on the night previous at Somerset. Having breakfast knowing you are travelling home, instead of a wasted trip to Hoddeston then home, is a great consideration. Len gets lots of criticism but he is rarely wrong.

Confirm, the meeting is OFF.

Joe Haines broke a scaphoid on Thursday, so has had to be replaced.

That would be awesome.

I'll always 'put up' when I have a decent contribution to make. Time for you to jog on.

Get a grip will you. It's great to see 'our' soldiers being given the priviledge to take part in such a festival of sport. If it wasn't for the racing, the stadium, the fireworks, the parking, the hotels, the campsites, the bloody Poles, the announcers, the programme and now the military invasion in sport, some folks would still find something to bloody moan about. Love you too. You can take the man out of Millwall, but you can't take the Millwall out of the man. I'd believe Philip before you anytime. And this isn't the first time you have had a go at him, me or a couple of others.

Bout time you started using them then. I WAS there, unlike you and Philip's stalker iris123, and the figures just about stack up. Spaces in the lower level on the 3rd/4th bend, but much more tickets sold this year in the upper tiers, especially on the back straight. If you don't want to believe things, don't make a mug of yourself.

Matthew Ford 1st, 2nd and 3rd - get in Matt.

We used to stay there till a couple of years ago when they raised the price from £87 to £155 the following year, and then proceed to take out the whole amount for the two of us before i could cancel. Guess what, it was in the small print so never been back since. Now stay in Halls at the Uni for about £25 a head per night, in a party of 40 from Newcastle. Incidently, with Walkabout being refurbished this weekend, where is the 'scene' that everyone is going to instead. Any local got any tips where to go.

Yes. The same way that Worky used Topinka, and we used Jason Lyons for longish spells last year.

Yes, 3 working days.

I have a photo of him on my mobile but can't download it. He has a little smile on and looks very bashed up. His nose has a mark on the side and it may be broken, an injury to the lid of his left eye, and the usual bumps ans scrapes you would expect from the inner lining of the helmet. He says he feels bashed up from the chest upwards but will be OK in a couple of days. I think he just needs a bit of a rest to get over the trauma of what happened and very pleased he hasn't broken something in such a valuable and delicate part of his body. He's actually been very lucky if you know how I mean it. No Pairs of course, and I don't really know about Monday against Edinburgh. He has said he would be OK in a couple of days but one has to remember he is a speedway rider and looks at things like this different from you and I probably. He does seem to be in good spirits thought so that is a big plus. Very pleased that if he is going to have this crash, it was at Coventry, where he lives and where I believe his wife's family live. Get well soon Stuey.

Also Newcastle's Start Marshall Phil Day will be duty at Cardiff, along with Clerk of the Course Graham Smith assisting in the pits, and Colin Hunter of Redcar who is the machine examiner. Good day and representation for the Northern clubs.

Not a great point, as it doesn't work like that. Let's just charge £1 and therefore lock some fans out.

That's one of it's biggest appeals.

I was at the track virtually allday with the training and, after starting the session late at 1.15pm, it started to rain fine drizzle at about 1.50. After a quarter of an hour or so, we decided it was set in then, and we closed up. At that time the track was good and Jonny went around with the grader to mix any water and aerate it to make the track more consistant. The actual rain that fell was below what had been forecast on about 3 of the 5 weather forecast sites that I use regularly.

Rain again called a halt to the session after only about 40 mins run. Shame as we had 18 riders, mainly young, who were raring to go after some had had their very first rides last week. Good news is, that with rearrangements and some help again from our medical fans, we are now running the training sessions on the 2nd, 9th and the 16th of September which will probably be the finish for this year. The plan is still to start them at 1.00pm, but a couple of them might be switched to NOON because of other possible committments. More news on that nearer the time. With the next meeting being on a bank holiday Monday there will not be any training session on on that day.

Given the forecasts on most sites, this fixture was always going to be a rainoff. But in saying that, at the training session at 1.15pm, it didnt rain and when the rain did come it was just light and the track looked great, a nice sprinkle of grip, and holding the rain well. Even getting near the start time. the rain was noway near that forecast, but with the constant drizzle the track eventually had to be stripped to base to try and get it on. Felt sorry for the travelling Monarchs fans and the new fans who had booked through Groupon for this fixture. Pleased to hear that this fixture has been rearranged for Bank Holiday Monday 27th August at our usual time of 6.30pm. The readmission and Groupon tickets are being honoured, although the club I believe does not need to honour the Groupon. Good PR by the club and means another big crowd for a meeting which both clubs seemed intent on putting on tonight with no avail

Cos he hasn't got the brain or the bottle Sue. Much more cowardly to sit at the computer and slag the same old slag, time and time again, and show what a berk he really is.
