Been a bit old school would not say that I would disagree with you, but this is speedway now, most of if not al of the riders riding in the championship will only really know this way.

Okay point taken, but how long is it that system was used, must be 18 years ago, this is nothing new the sport has moved on.

Looking at the rain that has fallen today and the forecast for tomorrow its looking very unlikely. That will be 3 weeks without a home meeting, even Mrs Spin is get upset about it.

Yeah 2 have you not heard there is a recession on. The way these meetings go its about qualifying and making sure that you a least make the semi;- finals, end of the day anyone of the top 6 can win through this system. End of the day young Worrall was unlucky to not get a rostrum place, be that the winner, second or third.

I will buy two bags of pegs and some of that lucky heather you sell.

Really. This is his 2nd Championship win. His first win was at Lakeside. That would make him a two track pony. Never mind I send you a bunch of your favourite sour grapes.

What did I say. Well Done Joe Haines. The Bolton Bullet is back.

Don't rule out Former Champion Joe Haines.

Gollob looks like the man to beat.

Saw Gjedde at Sheffield last week and I have to say that he looked far better around Sheffield than the 3 occasion's I saw him last season at Sheffield. And the track at Sheffield was not that slick or a dust bowl.

Absolutely cracking weekend with some excellent company from friends old and new. And the fellow we all came to honour, Shane Parker "The Ultimate Showman To The End", Thank for all the seasons entertaining us the fans, and for personally for last season when you were awesome.for Sheffield. Of the riders yesterday Chris Holder, Iversen and Josh Auty stood out for me.

Or maybe Belle Vue and the rider might not want him to make the move.

Cannot believe you did that. Calling her Moose not offering to buy her a drink.

Had an absolute cracking day, good company, nice weather and some decent racing to kick the season off, and all for a worthwhile cause. Nice to eventually meet up with Dietbowers. Amazed to see the some of the Glasgow contingent shouting fir Andrew Tully, what ever next shouting for Ryan Fisher. Real hearts in your mouth moment when Adam Roynon went down thankfully it appears not to be too serious. Roll on next Sunday for the Shane Parker Meeting.

I think apart from Barker and Fisher, who you would imagine will get decent points where ever they go the rest of the team will be under great scrutiny. The big problem that I see with Plymouth is the riders that have signed then not signed, and I would imagine that it must have been unsettling for riders that have eventually sign to ride for Plymouth only to be told that Plymouth were then interested in Leigh Lanham.

Not saying that Ben Barker is a poor rider, just that on the two occasions last season that he came to Sheffield that he was very disappointing when even Sheffield 2nd strings beat him. I will agree that Plymouth will be very hard to beat on their own track, and some teams will possibly take a bit of a beating, but away from home I cannot see them making any improvements, especially if Barker or Fisher have an off night.

I suppose that is about as near as I get to you admitting that I was right. Not really a gambling man as Squall and Junior will tell you, but a price of pint ain't much go on then.

Actually that was two off nights, and not only the riders mentioned beat him but also from the present Sheffield squad Skidmore (twice) and Sanchez. Like I say at Sheffield he looked decidedly average for the top man in the Premier League and an Elite League heatleader, I would have expected better.

Thanks Lioness, Its not so much the drinking that is the problem, its the accents that get stronger with the drink. I remember a couple years ago after the PLRC, Paulco had one or two sherberts he asked me for a cigarette, it took him 10 attempts to finally understand what he was saying, its amazing where a bit of sign language can do. Seriously though really looking forward to meeting up with Glasgow mob, I will be down Saturday night to give everyone a good old Yorkshire welcome.

Cannot speak for Ryan Fisher, but Ben Barker was decidedly average at Sheffield last season his record was; Rides; 10 1st; 2 2nd; 4 3rd; 3 4th; 1 heat advantages for; 1 heat advantages against; 6 Drawn heats; 3 I think there is massive pressure on both Barker and Fisher to perform, one has an off night they have problems. I think problem with Boxall it about desire more than talent.

The Vogster returns to Sheffield his 2nd home, now has got to be worth a visit to the New Barrack Tavern.

For anyone who is coming to the meeting, would ;like to meet up for a pre meeting drinks at The New Barrack Tavern. That is always assuming that the Glasgow mob has not drunk the place dry on Saturday night. And also while on the subject I believe that there are still sponsorship slots still available if you contact Anji Parker via Facebook.

Never appealed to me to be honest and never ever contemplated going, and that is a very expensive day.

Reading that I get the feeling that he might be getting cold feet on the move. My guess is that he will sit it out and wait for a place to become available.. The one thing this will do if he does not sign is make one rider very unsettled at Plymouth because someone going to be dropped to make way for him if he does sign.
