Would any promoter be able to prove beyond any doubt who actually periscopes the footage? They might be able to trace it to a particular phone/ account but surely they would have to prove whose finger pressed the button.

Weather - plenty of blue sky with lots of white fluffy things mixed in. Quite warm, barely a breeze. Just heard 2 very distant rumbles of thunder. No sign of any wet stuff. Edit....just had a shower now easing off, save a couple of laps with the water cart;) sun now shining again

Its raining and I was bored so just watched this. He's not very well informed is he? He thinks they have only had a few races on the new Belle Vue track and that Sky are going to be showing BV vs Poole on April 27th. Yeah right obviously doesn't read BSF Never thought I would say I missed Woffy, but I did. Woffy at least comes across as articulate and interested. Holder just came across as a laid back Aussie I guess it filled a few minutes on Sky Sports News.....how does anyone watch that carp? but IMO it will do absolutely nothing to advance the cause of speedway, let alone British Speedway. Oh wait cos it won't .....it's Sky As I said I'm bored EDITED to add, I watched the facebook one, from pics on twitter looks as if there were two interviews.

A few years back, probably before Sky became involved, very few league matches were raced before April. The season didn't start until March 15th and the first few weeks were taken up with challenges, individual meetings and Spring Cup type fixtures. Those matches were far less important, so postponements didn't have such an impact. Personally I think March is far too early for evening (and sometimes daytime) meetings it's far too ruddy cold. Not that I thought that when I was younger of course

He tweeted last week that he was going to London, presumably to see a specialist, but I've seen nothing since. I find that slightly worrying if I'm honest.

Updated website is now online. No idea if it's lost any hi tech gizmos but at least it's easy to read now with black on white. So gets my approval for that at least

Wait until the Met Office issue a heatwave warning, then be prepared for sun delays

As posted on duplicate thread Stoke on Sat & Buxton on Sun now off. No reason given

According toBSPA twitter feed Stoke on Saturday and Buxton on Sunday are now off. No reason given

But a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. You only need a couple of stick in the mud dinosaurs and progress is not an option.

Well they are advertising Sky's new system as FLUID viewing. Boom boom

And track covers? If they exist of course

The Met Office started giving storms names

Probably cos we have had more rain offs so less meetings Cant you tell I'm a Libran

Actually it wasn't raining on Monday evening.

It doesn't affect me, but Coventry should be given credit for at least trying something different. OAPs, and I'm one, do not have a god given right to discounts and just because they have always had one doesn't mean it should continue. There have been numerous threads on BSF over the years, some are still going, about trying to attract newcomers to the sport. If it doesn't the sport will die along with the OAPs. Coventry are trying it, fair enough they didn't think it thro properly but if it doesn't have an adverse effect on attendances other tracks might well try something similar in the future. You cannot complain about the state of the sport on one hand and complain when someone tries to do something about it on the other.

But are they all full? I have no idea but when I've glanced at the TV screen I've often seen half empty stands. I'd suggest the like of Man U etc are sell outs and probably promotion/relegation clashes near the end of the season (oops speedway dont have those tho do they ) but mid table nothing hangs on it matches, I would doubt are sell outs.

Some rain overnight, been 2-3 heavy showers, last one about 30 minutes ago, sun in between showers and a bit breezy EDITED King's Lynn Speedway ‏@officialKLstars 1m1 minute ago POSTPONED| Sadly tonight's Young Stars v Eastbourne meeting is OFF.

Regarding advertising, I wonder if Jonathan has any thoughts on the number of fans (probably newbies) that were brought in when the truck and advertising boards used to tour Sunny Hunny. I know it difficult cos folk don't say where they are from when they pay their money but it would be interesting to know if there was ever any feedback especially in tourist areas like Lynn and the Norfolk coast.

Assuming Polish rules are the same as the UK, technically Kildeman was rightfully excluded. He was the cause of the stoppage, if he hadn't ridden into the back of Dudek the race would have carried on. The fact he didn't see Dudek is immaterial. I'm not saying the decision was morally right but can't fault it technically. Dudek certainly didn't cause the stoppage and did everything correctly as he raised his arm to signify he had a problem, there was no way he could know or prevent Kildemanns view being obscured

Nope. As I said yesterday there was overnight rain but no puddles left in morning and light rain off and on in the morning.

But at the time the called it off no one could find a poor weather forecast, look back and you will see quite a few and they were all good. As it goes the weather yesterday was pretty good from a speedway point of view.

I think there's a bit more to it than that. Lack of promotion, lack of value for money, lack of national strategy for instance. It's no good getting Joe Bloggs into a stadium to see a world champion and then be bored sh1tless cos the racing is crap and entertainment is non existent. but they all have large budget promotion and advertising and extra entertainment to give more value for money Edited to avoid censorship

I'd argue that equalised line ups are the way to go, closer racing, closer scores, more excitement. Joe Bloggs who's never been before doesn't know Tai Woffinden from Ty Proctor.

Sorry Danny but I'm 2 miles from the track and I've seen brilliant tracks prepared in far worse weather than we have had today. No rain since about 1530 this afternoon and that was more like a flock of incontinent gnats flying over I can't account for the stock car damage of course but we've all seen good tracks 24 hours after stocks before.
