Had a lovely afternoon chatting to people and seeing old riders, loved Reg Luckhursts short but sweet sing song, perhaps we should have all joined in. The model of Custom House Stadium was excellent but it wasn't until I got home and looked closely at the photos I had taken of it ( I was busy trying to pinpoint exactly where I stood) that I realised that the names of those who lost their lives at Lokeren were shown at the starting tapes, lovely touch to a great piece of work. We'll done to the organisers of the event can we have a few more similar events please especially when the sun is shining.

What an excellent watch. It would be good if Discovery+ showed this as part of their speedway coverage and maybe also on the big screen at Cardiff during the racing interval or before the meeting starts.

And when he was alive he had the right of reply. When someone's died people should just pay their respects or say nothing at all, the only people who might be reading negative comments are his family who are left behind and I just hope if they are reading this forum they ignore the ignorant posts and focus on the overwhelming ones from people who realise he will be missed and also a great loss to Speedway.

OMG, as long as its not blaring out who would it disturb the tracks in the middle of nowhere. Someone parked in the field had their car radio on which we could hear occasionally, what is it with these planning departments it's obvious they all hate speedway and people enjoying a day out. Oh well next time we visit I'll take my ipod.

Our first time at Iwade found the track with the help of satnav. We sat on first bend, pa system was fine there, could have done with some background music, but not as deafening as it used to be at Eastbourne. Delays between races need to be sorted. It's a new venture so hopefully as weeks go on things will improve as we definitely need some speedway south of the river as the only other two tracks in the South are Poole and Plymouth much too far for us to travel. Didn't try the food outlet so can't comment on that but toilet facilities definitely need improvement which hopefully will also happen in time.

Such awful news, Nigel will be a massive loss to speedway but most of all a massive loss to his family R.I.P

We live 90 minutes drive, on a good day, from Eastbourne. We managed to get to nearly all their Championship home matches, either driving there and back and on many occasions making a weekend of it. If Eastbourne run only in the NDL I'm afraid we would only be very occasional visitors, it has to be at least Championship to make the long journey worthwhile for us. Hoping they are back next year as really missing our speedway already and it's only April.

Would love to have been there tonight but couldn't make it. Anyone know if the meeting is being streamed please.

Anyone have any ideas re the teams etc for the meeting on 17th as I can't see much on the kentroyals website

Anyone else noticed Eddie had "Guest" on his back instead of his name !

Thank you. Logged in OK on laptop now and connected that to TV.

Dies anyone know if I can log into the livestream on my mobile and then cast it to my TV as TV is a bit hit and miss loading fro Internet, or would I be better to load it onto my laptop then connect that to my TV via a cable

Had too many clear outs to probably have any memorabilia around, most of its in my head (unless my mind is playing tricks) like the time a rider was going back to the pits over that stupid plank of wood and somehow managed to topple into the ditch, think it was Tony Clark, and it was mainly spectators shouting that alerted anyone. Anyway we'll be there in May.

Keep the points system simple. Winners get 3 points, drawn meetings teams get 1 point each, nothing for a losing team.

Are they Promoters or a bunch of sheep/yes men, sounds like the later to me. For goodness sake if they don't get a grip they won't have anything left to promote, surely some of them read this forum, I've not seen one post yet that thinks this no drawn meetings plan is a good idea.

TV should not be allowed to dictate the outcome/final result of a meeting they should only be streaming it they should not be allowed to change the rule book. Speedway is in a bad enough state at the moment without interference from outside bodies who just happen to be able to show money talks. No wonder speedway fans are walking away from rather than to meetings.

Can anyone go and watch or is it behind closed doors, I see it says riders on track from 13.30

And I've just seen I could pay an extra £2.60 refund protection in case I can't go due to illness or injury, or snow, frost, fog or storm as well as other things, no thanks I'll pay at the gate.

I don't have a negative attitude I just made a simple mistake by only looking at the first page that popped up on my phone instead of pressing the next button, but I'd still rather pay on the gate incase I can't go due to unforseen circumstances.

Let's us know how you get on.

We planned on visiting Oxford but I'm not so sure now. I don't mind buying tickets online but to have to get one at a time seems stupid, unlikely I suppose but what if you buy one then start again to buy second one and they've all gone will we be able to get refund on first ticket. We bought tickets in advance for Eastbourne and look what's happened there we're still waiting for our refunds. Also we much prefer to pay at the gate incase our plans change ie illness or can't attend for other reasons.

We bought our tickets day or two after release in January and the money has been taken and we have confirmation, I can't remember exactly but you then have to download an app to your phone and I believe the tickets then go in there (somehow) a couple of weeks before the GP. We followed the link on fimspeedway.com which then takes you to cardiff.seetickets.com. If you followed those links if I were you I'd give see tickets a ring, you might have to be on hold a while, and ask their advice.

Probably, complete arrogance on his part I hope they take his medal away. I bet the Russian team weren't allowed anywhere near a news broadcast while in Doha either.

"The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) said it had opened disciplinary proceedings against Kuliak for his "shocking behaviour" at the Apparatus World Cup in Doha. After earning bronze in the parallel bars final, Kuliak taped a letter 'Z' on to his chest and took to the podium next to gold medal winner Illia Kovtun of Ukraine" Quite right to.

I wonder what reception they will get at GPs from fans if they do ride?
