What people were saying that the track was ok to carry on . Nothing to do with stuff the safely aspect .

Sky + the meeting and avoided the result ....Was looking forward to watching it this morning only to see a complete joke of a meeting from start to finish . The track was poor and the tapes and green light starts were a joke . As others have said I have seen far worst one off tracks with ruts in them and the riders have just got on with it . Harris etc were not only able to ride it but race on it so not sure why they called it off . Also Jim Lawrence to me is the worst Ref out there so not sure why he getting gigs like this .

Spot on.. that's what I said earlier today ...Just say on Monday Morning that Doyle is going to replaced him .

Some good points on here ....and ones that shows how hard it is to run Speedway in the uk .....The balance between trying to stick to the rules and make sure a good crowd comes in is a tricky one ... on one hand we don't want AJ to take the mickey and maybe he should be replaced by a pl 6 point rider but if that happens thou Wolves might get a easy win it will no doubt have an effect on there crowd and I would say that Wolves would rather face Lakeside with Doyle as money must come first . I guess we are going to have to wait intill what AJ Does before we send the lynch mob in thou .

To me your either injury or your not ...the bit I don't understand is why Lakeside did not wait intill Monday morning ? Just say Aj injured and Doyle going to replace him , then no one bats a eyelid rather than doing it this way and people pointing fingers .

Should be easy as well seeing how close he's been with Morton and Gordon over the building of the new stadium . He was never short of info about that .

Well can you ? what is Elite about the Elite league by the way ?

Would have to say for some reason Cricket has more good commenters than other sports thou I guess it could be because you can have 8 or 9 nine per match ....my favourites are Lloyd and Holding thou it's not always when there talking about cricket I just find them good to listen to ...the one I hate is Mark Nicholas he just come's across as so false and ott .

Don't really see that ... the concern of anyone running a speedway team is that the money side is sorted first even before start thinking about winning or losing ....I doubt any home promoter is going to happy about a side missing two of it's star riders when they visit unless it's at the tail end of season when you have to win to get into the play offs .

Very true before you know it Football teams will be loaning players to other clubs and teams will have 6 loan players in the same side ..the Media would just walk away .Who does that Frank Lampard bloke play for ? The New York red city blues . Due to when they can used the stadiums the country does not have the choice on how it's runs the sport as it's hands and tied on many things unlike Sweden ,Poland etc

Things only tend to move on when people find a solution to something or comes up with something better . As has been said so far after 50 odd years no one has come up with anything better than the guest rule . The point was made that speedway does nor deserve media coverage because of guests, the first point of course is that we been using them when the sport had plenty of media coverage and the second is do we really think they will come back if we never ? I doubt it . I cant remember Rory guesting seven days in a row as you said he did ...the bottom line is thou guests are no doubt used more now unless you or anyone can come up with a better idea that's work in uk speedway in it's current state then there is no point in moaning about it .

As I have already said we had this rule when the crowds were big and there were sponsors and the sport had plenty of Credibility ....Would it Bollox ? when quite clearly it did .No one cared if a rider rode for seven different teams seven nights a week so why should they now ?

Speedway used to have loads of mainstream coverage when they used the same guest system as well as massive crowds ...so not sure how it can blamed for the reason there is no media on indeed any of the other problems .

As someone said on another topic no one yet after about 50 years has come up with a better and workable idea . For all the stick the powers that be get it's almost impossible to find such a system you ask and hope for .

Not as easy that thou as you are perming more than 2 riders ... your also got to perm a whole fixture list that has to include every team and every rider so it's fits in . No matter how you do it the moment you decide to ride at the weekend then this what is going to happen as it did with Eastie for the last few seasons .

For all the stick Belle Vue get the bottom line is that you can't run Weekend speedway at the top level in the uk without this thing happening nearly all the time . Ok Zagar and Cook might have been there another sat but when they can make maybe some of the lions might be missing . You only have to look at the sides that turned up at Eastie in the last few years to understand this is what's happens all the time .

Who is kks ? seeing you only member since 28th feb ?

Spot on ...just like most people I don't enjoy the guest rule but I have never known anyone involved in speedway or anyone on here come up with a better and workable idea ...so intill then we still have to grin and bear it . It's not Original and it's not true ..in fact it's original as all . these names you post under .

Well done Cov for using rr rather than a guest so they could lose

Good Crowd but a dull meeting ...Hans done well but I am still in shock that Perry took 4 rides ...can only think Rosco got caught out by the new race format and the need to change the weaker fast tracker in his second or 3rd ride

Craig Cook

After one meeting ....Jesus. talk about boasting to soon ..

So nearly half there team then ? Change most sides with 3 better riders and you can change a average side into a good one . On paper this side is rock solid .

Just go's to show you win with speedway fans ...already this week we had fans moaning that matches are called off to early due to weather forecasts and now we have people saying they are called off to late . The forecast was very hit or miss today depending on what site you look at and we just caught some heavy rain what might have missed us ..of course fans who arrive get upset and clubs should never say that matches are 100 % on but as a fan you look at the forecast and weigh up the risks of a match going ahead and then you take your chances .

Aces just look good all round ...Can't see how they can come outside the top 4 ..a proper number 1 with Cook and Nicholls giving good support they also have rock solid second strings and one of the best reserve pairings and also have a half decent team manager . The only worried is that for some reason the Belle Vue team have not done as well on the track as they have looked on paper in the last few years .
