Agreed and I have always found it a bit of a mystery why several members of the Swindon management team often told us that we would have a new stadium at Blunsdon when there was precious little to indicate that was remotely likely.

Yes that’s the one. Dodgiest track record ever! From memory Henning’s next ride was getting on four seconds slower!

No definitely Henning

I think they make the race times up on occasions. I remember one meeting last season when all the times suddenly came out at .00, .25, .50 or .75 so much so I was able to guess a few in advance! Don’t get me started on Henning Bager’s track record!

Not being able to squeeze in 10 home league fixtures in the best part of six months is truly shocking although it is not that surprising given the way Speedway is run these days!

Assuming the FIM rule is the same did Jim Lawrence chose to ignore it in the second GP at Horsens because he was incapable of deciding who was the primary cause in the back straight collision involving Pedersen, Zagar and Kildemand?

Yes that’s the one!

Sheffield must be after Stoke’s record for regularity of call offs. I seem to recall BV had the book thrown at them for a dodgy call off v Poole some years ago. If memory serves me correctly they were no longer allowed to call off meetings themselves. Surely Sheffield (and others) need more scrutiny as these situations continue to do untold damage to a sport already on its knees.

They could have staged that last night! :)

Hopefully they will make an early decision to call it off tomorrow rather than go through this again!

That’s given me a great idea Arnie. Let’s start flogging tickets for the Oceanic round (any venue in that part of the world will do) and then (with a few weeks to spare) move it to Vojens for a November staging!

Knowing the way Speedway runs it might not be confirmed (as not happening) until after Torun.

I generally aim for about 60-90 minutes before start time. The time goes very quickly catching up with others who do the same.

For those hoping to do both Glasgow and Berwick today you might wish to note that Tony Steele is the referee at Glasgow. Unfortunately he is not exactly renowned for the smooth and prompt running of Speedway meetings so it’s a case of fingers firmly crossed!

Looks good to me - many thanks

Redcar +6 and Newcastle -12 I think

The missing test match is 07/06/34. Happy to buy it off you if you have a spare. Many thanks

Thank you - yes I’m missing a few Star Finals and one Test match. If I can get them I’ll have every single Speedway programme from Wembley Stadium.

My entire collection of Wembley Lions home programmes which is complete from 1929 to 1939, 1946 to 1956 and finally 1970/71. My favourite is probably the first one dated 16 May 1929!

I enjoyed my first visit to Oxford in the new era. Nice to see a good crowd. The track wasn’t at its best but Poole still deservedly won. Peter York didn’t seem to have a clue what was going on. Interviewed Josh Macdonald thinking it was Cameron Heeps, announced Batchelor and Nicholls as the ‘Coventry’ pairing. The ref and the announcer also seemed to be unaware who was in some of the races when changes were made.

Another fine example of how not to run a Speedway meeting. Two and a half hours for 15 (well 16 thanks to Babs) races is not a great advert. Well said Buster when he came on the mike. Well done also to King’s Lynn who deserved to win. Hope MPT is ok after a nasty fall.

A truly great supporter of Speedway. RIP Nigel

I made my first visit to Marmande today where they won 56 - 42. Good to see some riders that we don’t see much in the UK. The famous grass track (that surrounds the Speedway track) looked pretty impressive also with three distinct straights! Might return for the grass track one day!
