Dodger Blue

It's a simple fact of sport, it doesn't matter what day of the week it is, or what sport it is, if the team is getting beaten regularly ... the crowds will drop!! Doesn't take a genius to see that!!

And so ends that .......

Knowing the riders in a team would help fans decide if a season ticket was worth while.

I dont suppose we would be aware if it had !!

Oh yes it is!! ... I love panto season!!

So the best week of speedway in the calender is to be replaced with a format nobody likes because it costs too much to stage!!! Have I got that right?

Personally I always attended the world cup meetings when held in this country... A pairs event doesn't get my attention at all. I think you will still end up with the usual countries at the top in the usual order!!

Having followed Panthers for over 40 years I can tell you that winning 2 trophies in a year was a bl%*\y good year!! There are not many DVD's in my collection of Panther's winning things but I will enjoy watching the latest 2 over the winter!! Obviously the KO cup was fortunate to say the least but a fantastic effort to get to the final. The 4's was stunning after the breaking of Holdergate. In the last few years the biggest battle for us is to ensure that we come to tapes come March! It appears that battle has been won for another year, for that I am extremely grateful to Ged. We need to move on from Holder and support the riders who come to tapes next year. Uli is Uli, I have never been a big fan of Lambert but the way he rode at the end of last season was unbelievable! If they are in the 7 next year then that's fine as I will still be able to watch and hope to at some point adding to my DVD's which is what following any team is all about!!

Might as well let Jason Crump have a go ... I think he would be more competitive anyway!!

He has been known to injure himself loading his bikes into his van previously .... maybe something similar???

Whoever is right or wrong, whatever the final outcome is, the one thing almost certainly guaranteed is: another group of speedway followers will be lost to the sport!!

As quoted from Ged the day before the 4's: "I fully understand that some of our supporters may be disappointed that we are without Jack tomorrow in the Fours, but I ask them all to understand that the deal we've done is beneficial to all parties. "I'm not going to expand on that, but I urge them to trust my judgement as they've always done since I stepped in to keep speedway going in Peterborough in late 2014." And how does that work ?????

Completely agree!!!!!

Having spent the weekend in The Peak District I dropped in to watch this at one of my favourite speedway venues, actually parked up next to mimmo!! Unfortunately I am afraid the meeting was a disappointment as it was one that had absolutely zero passing!! However Buxton remains a terrific place to see speedway and I will call again soon

Tiddler Turner was always good value, one memory that will always be with me, is a Bank Holiday meeting against Belle Vue at Lynn from the mid 70's. Tiddler was shoulder to shoulder with Alan Wilkinson down the back straight and they were kicking each other as they battled for the lead!! Marvelous stuff!!

Unfortunately a meeting at Coventry is usually a bit longer than the average .... Could make a bit of money if there was a kiosk selling pile cream though!!

Likewise to all of the above!!

If it was funny in the first instance ... it certainly isnt when you say for the 20th time!!!

Just not paid for!!

So you are saying that West Ham have failed to pay their agreed rental fee?? Dont remember reading that!! The 'fiasco' as you put it, is down to the landlords agreement for rent costs, nothing to do with West Ham not paying it

I seem to remember watching Jason Crump sitting in the pits while a mechanic dropped a spanner in front of him,Jason was catching it between his hands as it dropped.Dont see anyone doing that now,must have helped him!

That was one fantastic meeting Saturday night,congratulations to all the riders,every one of them were going for it.Great view from the temp seats crown of bends 3/4, we were near the front so could actually hear the pa!! Added entertainment watching security chasing Polish fans who were trying to empty the 18 pints of beer that they had all consumed with inevitable results along the back fence, as some bright spark believed that 10 portable loo's each end of the stand would be enough!!!

Admit it, you are Alun Rossiter aren't you
