Hello mate sorry thought I had messaged you, it's a bit too far away from my partner, which in itself is a not a problem other then toilet breaks for my daughter. -
Speedway GP Qualifiers.

Novratil whilst not world class, he still impressed me at the SON as I expected a complete wobbler. Niedzwiedz has a bright future and could be a spoiler this year but probably wont be in the reckoning overal -
Leicestershire shale has been unavailable for over 2 years now according to the quarry company. (Braydon aggregates or similar it was called). There was a supplier down Gloucester way last season but I think it was from there the shale came, that got panned at multiple tracks last season for being substandard. To my knowledge the only place to buy bulk of shale is in Scotland and whilst the price is half the price of a tonne of top soil, as has been stated it's the delivery costs that are the killer.

Speedway GP Qualifiers.

Cook hopefully has good chance in Glasgow even against such a strong field. Dont know his record but doesn't strike as a Lambert type track. Harris must consider himself to have a good chance in France, The other lads have lines ups on British tracks you would fancy thier chances of at least being in the mix, but overseas may find this a level to high atm. -
Considering the track conditions are traditionally slick on bank holidays and today was no different. Watching Danny Ayres today was a joy to behold, when he missed the gate being the highlights of the day. So 3 points for Kent means one hand is on the National Trophy, with the Wighlink Warriors needing to win both the home and away matches against Kent this upcoming week to prise the title down to the south coast island. And I suppose most importantly for gloom mongerers all heat 15 heats were completed with a break between 14 and 15 to allow all the juniors have another ride.

If you have Facebook, search Rob Dyer and message him. If anyone will have the times it will be him. He may well have a profile on here as well tbh.

My usual seats on turn 3 middle tier are normally between 77-90 (depending when you buy). Last year cost me 162 quid plus booking fee for me and an 8 year old daughter. They do have family areas but they aren't in great spots, and are a ballache best impossible at worst to book seats in, in a group of 7 adults and 1 kid. So next year if I can only afford 1 gp it will be Warsaw that I go too. Train to Warsaw via overnight stays in Berlin each way, plus 5 nights hotels and GP tickets cost less then 340 quid, and I spent the entire trip, what I spend in one day in Cardiff. -
Have already downloaded lime for next year. They seem to be in all major European cities too...

Let me have a look after work, to see how close it is to my Mrs's seat. As I ve yet to get mine and my nine year olds ticket yet. Message you this evening. -
Was that on the city side of the bridge, next to the tower thingy. We saw the car that was sat on top of a scooter, but ad there was no blood or gore, we kinda assumed no one was hurt. My friend at work when I said how many there was, said that there is a big movement to try and get them banned. Home your friend is ok.

As a kid I remember every Saturday going to Canterbury, the only gaps really being when riding away on a Saturday. So for me weekly speedway has always been the norm. I think the crowd Monday whilst down on usual was still over 500, which I expect most clubs would be happy with for a "competitive" fixture. I suppose all the time weekly speedway pays, then len will continue to supply us with it. Imagine next week could be a bumper crowd, mildenhall often travel well especially to Kent on a bank holiday, and with them needing to reverse the home loss Kent inflicted at west row, it should be an exciting afternoon's action.

I ll put this out there, that was braver then even TKs move. The speed must of been phenomenal.... -
The hosts must put up decent money for the event, there is no other reason it would go there. Riders dont like it, Fans dont like it, media dont like it...

So once again British speedway changes rules mid season, and have scrapped the national trophy final, and another piece of credibility of the sport goes out the window. now certainly no sour grapes here as today's away win puts us in prime position to win. But how can you start a competition trying to get a top 2 spot, (so potentially aim for an away point rather then taking risks) and then change it is beyond me. And to just change the page on the BSPA site without making any press releases.... On the bspa website after fridays match, the bspa even quoted in the first line of the match report that Mildenhall have one foot in the final..... So what's changed since Saturday morning? I really love my sport, but really starting to see why people are leaving British speedway and doing monthly trips to Poland instead. Just means more meaningless fixtures kow when teams can no longer qualify, meaning lower crowds. So there is mo winner here.

Morley has had some bad luck in recent weeks, hopefully for his and Kent's sake he gets back in the big points today. Jenkins has just hit form so hopefully, full of confidence he fills his boots. Ledwith has started to reign in his excitement a bit, and hopefully will finish 5 races in the points. Rowe has once again stepped up a notch and turns up at every track full of confidence. Ablitt is scoring everywhere although the mildo reserves are good at home, so may be a tougher day then some for him. Davies along with Clouting are probably going to have a busy few months being the only 2 riders of any standard on a 2.0 average and unattached. Realism predicts a 50-40 home win.
