According to the Met Office website, http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html and entering the track's postcode, NO further rain is forecast until the early hours of tomorrow morning so see you there this evening I hope!

Wasn't there personally but I'm told a total of 25 youngsters took part which augurs well for those who are putting so much effort into this scheme and the future of British Speedway!

Whehey! Gloves off!

Bearing in mind the first of your predictions above, does this mean that the Wightlink Islanders are likely to win tonight? Re tonight's meeting, if anyone is going and can get me two programmes, then please PM me - unfortunately I can't be in two places at once and will be at Kin's Lynn. Looking back to last night's action on the Island, a five raid paid max from the No.7 berth for Jamie Pickard was instrumental in securing victory for the Bulls who also had double figure returns from Jack Hargreaves and Tim Webster. Poor Danny Halsey though failed to finish a race falling in all three of his outings! Nasty crash in heat 4 but thankfully no one hurt and everyone able to walkaway after attention from medics. Nick Simmons top dog for Islanders despite being brought down in that heat 4 crash.

Go straight to work from the meetings then!

Alas won't be there Mr. Morosely as Goldberg is not travelling up to Nawfook tonight.

Then Mark would plug the gap admirably.

Don't think so! Mark's average = 6.93, Adam's = 5.62!

Hope that revelation hasn't put the mockers on the weather for later! :lol:

As Sue will testify, I would have helped out last night as a very, very VERY last result BUT for a couple of things - firstly those who know me that my mitts are mangled thanks to the effects of severe arthritis and texting is really a no go for me and I would have to phone through results as and when I could but that would have been something of a no go as I'm currently full of cold complete with streaming schnozzle and sore throat! In fact I felt worse that death warmed up yesterday and am only marginally better today! So Bob was MY hero too!

5.10pm NO weather problems so far and NONE anticipated from hereon in.

LAKESIDE HAMMERS SPEEDWAY PRESS RELEASE Friday 15th April 2011 YOUNG HAMMERS AIM TO BANISH THE BLUES Lakeside Hammers fans will look to rising stars Jerran Hart, Shane Hazelden and Marc Owen to banish the blues after a week to forget for the senior team on its travels. All three line up at the Raceway for tonight’s British Under 21 Final with Hart in particular favoured to press for a rostrum position. The Hammers Co Promoter Jon Cook commented: "This is the final time that we will stage the event and it’s apt that we do so with three of our own assets in the line up. I hope that all Hammers fans will turn out and show their support for the boys" Tonight’s British U-21 Final will start at the slightly earlier time of 7.45 pm and despite there being a total of 22 heats of Speedway the admission prices have be kept at the Lakeside Hammers normal prices with the exception of adults, who will see their admission price drop by £1 from the usual £16 to £15. A special souvenir full colour programme will be available at £4. There are large free parking areas at the Raceway either side of their approach road. The pay booths will open at 6.15pm and tickets will be available on the night.

My mate Scoop would have been having kittens had Dennis Mallett been involved out there on track in that race HT - so would Mike, myself and you I'll wager!

I'm sure everybody's thoughts this morning will be with Young Star Adam Lowe who crashed heavily in his opening ride last night and appears to have broken a bone in his back. It was a very nasty crash indeed but the medical crew at the NA were superb, taking every precaution as the tended to him on the track, and he was off to hospital with minimum delay. As I said our thoughts are with him and hopefully we'll get an update on his progress later in the day. Whilst that obviously put something of a dampener on proceedings, Adam's crash apart, it was a cracking first match of the season at this level at the NA with both sides playing their full part. Jake Knight's paid 18 return speaks for itself as one of the high spot - his winning time of 61.20 in heat 2 being quicker that winning times recorded by Dan Nermark, Tomas Topinka, Olly Allen, Ben Barker AND Kryzstof Kasprzak in the senior Stars recent home match against Birmingham! My other top moments were Barrie Evans and Marc Owen's rides in heats 13 & 15.

And indeed it's great to see Deano, who has been such a loyal servant to the sport, get a team place for 2011!

No one's mentioned "the legend" that is Barry Thomas had a skid have they? OR the fact that the other Hackney legend that is 'Hawkeye' won the raffle! Talk about money going to money!

Some might say Paul (Although I personally couldn't comment!) that you wouldn't have to learn much to be a Twit!

Jeez!!! Why bother to post such untrue twaddle?

Now as if the legendary Thommo would be doing such a thing at HIS age! :wink:

Alas not Peasepud my old mucker (ageing is a process that affects us all - me and you included!) You see I have just returned from rural Nawfook and realised that I'll be AT King's Lynn on Monday, NOT watching on the gogglebox as you'll no doubt be doing! :lol:

Wish I had TIME to have one! IOW Mon / Tue... KL tonight, Swindon tomorrow, Arena Friday, Hackney Saturday, STRA at King's Lynn Sunday... collapse Monday!

Come along to Rye House on Saturday and see for yourself then.... I'll bet you a quid (only a quid merely because money is obviously tight in the auditing game! ) that you'll be very pleasantly surprised at the size of the attendance AND the quality of the racing! See you there! Bryn

Doesn't that comment apply to MOST products you buy nowadays??? Surely in your capacity of a "senior auditor" you, more than most, should accept that? For example what sort of fees do auditors charge nowadays?

Er... Do you mean THE Jorgy Worgy Puddin 'n Pie who kissed the boys / girls (whichever their preference!) and made 'em cry?

Your "PA" Judy? Blimey - you're going up in the world!
