  1. Even though it would add 2-3hrs total on my journey; If Lakeside continue, I would prefer Iwade or Lydd than Rye House
  2. Safe journey & CU there Mike, will be the 2nd time I’ve bumped into you at Workington!!!
  3. Superb that Lakeside have miraculously found a date when apparently none were available. Equally fantastic that Peterborough were ready to race any day of the week, when previously they weren’t able to agree to last Sunday a week in advance Marvellous
  4. That’s how I read it, the first part being: 2012 ELKOC QF Birmingham beat Belle Vue away 42-35: The home leg was subsequently rained off 11/10 & Birmingham went through to the SF
  5. Don’t think that was me Singy, certainly wasn’t eying up the catering van Love visiting Workington. After 4/5hrs of driving hell, the final drive along the A66 , makes you realise how beautiful Britain is. Will be back to Workington this weekend 100%, just hope the weather stays fair & good luck on Thursday night
  6. 2012 Playoff group stages Edinburgh v Workington wasn’t staged & even though Workington could’ve qualified with a win, Scunthorpe qualified - Reckon Lakeside will get the nod re the away win
  7. Cheers Tony, didn’t even get to see 2 heats this time - Should get up for the playoff final though, 3rd time lucky
  8. Another new low for British speedway - just when you think it can’t get worse Feel for you & everyone else who were mugged off tonight. Worse thing is nothing will get done about it, in fact it won’t even be acknowledged as having occurred Fans will continue to be treated like dirt until there’s nobody left
  9. Yes, plenty of lines around Arena. From what I can recall, this year only twice has the outside line been poor & one of those was after the Ride n Slide day, when I guess they had time constraints preparing the track. The inside line is always fine
  10. Can’t see the point in having 5 tractor breaks per meeting , when you’re only dragging dust onto tarmac, there’s still only one line around the outside!
  11. My sentiments precisely - I was relieved when Cook came on the mike & said there would be changes to the track; unfortunately it’s been shocking for the last 2 years, with one racing line around the fence
  12. Hans Andersen had a season ending injury for Poole in 2016 & was replaced by then SGP rider Antonio Lindback. Hans did manage to ride in Poland afterwards... Guessing it was a BRITISH season ending injury!
  13. Seems a bit shy, ask Laura, she seems to know him well
  14. Agree re: the Peterborough fixture Think he is being very diplomatic saying they have “disappeared” & “club has yet to receive any explanation” doesn’t sound very professional by the BSPA He seems to find the need to emphasise the need to come to a decision not “terminal” to clubs & reminds us of the closure of Rye House - seems serious to me Why have the 13/07 fixtures at Lakeside, Peterborough & Workington been omitted when only Edinburgh are at home that night?
  15. How can you suddenly change fixtures that have been there since the start of the season!!!! Strange how it affects 3 clubs that are having an excellent season on track, namely Lakeside, Peterborough & Workington - Seems there are some nasty spiteful people making this decision, who are quite happy for other tracks to go to the wall Seem to remember, Laura being reassured she could have plenty of Fridays & now this is completely reneged - why promise something & then completely screw them over. Unbelievable
  16. Great post There has been a lot of criticism about clubs just looking after No.1, so its quite refreshing seeing them unite for the good of the sport as a whole
  17. Wish there were more promoters like those at Glasgow: Not just the finances, but the professionalism of the club - Speedway would be in a much better place
  18. But Mr Horton revealed the move meant a return to Brandon Stadium, a long-held hop of Bees fans, was unlikely in the extreme.He added: A standalone stadium either at Brandon or elsewhere has never been commercially viable and will never be commercially viable for the club. Strange statement about viability - especially when moving to a new 2011 stadium in Leicester & amazing how Brandon has continued for so long!
  19. + No clashes with foreign leagues = Full teams & regular fixtures
  20. No Chinese whisperers. He said it on the BSPA video, near the start of the season & repeated it in the after meeting interviews ,after Lynns last home meeting of the year
  21. Ive heard Buster, on a couple of occasions, say hes in favour of an independent CEO; but cant implement it, as some other promoters are against it
