  1. He used to do a lot of long track and grass track in Europe on Sundays
  2. Enjoyable meeting with plenty of good racing as opposed to the crap SGP yesterday. well done Josh with a spectacular final race
  3. From what I recall, the semis and finals are there to create a climax to the meeting which is greatly favoured by those filming the series and the sponsors. in the old format two bad rides and there would be no chance of getting in the top 3. if we are having a series, then I think the present format is fine
  4. Delighted that Robert got his first SGP win. Looks like he can get silver in the overall standings… hope so
  5. Go back to the old one off World finals…. Vojens would be grippy at the practice then At the final they took the dirt off for a slick track to suit the Danes… check with Joe Screen .. Looks like Deja vu…. Tatum tonight said…. I don’t know why they have taken the dirt off from this afternoon
  6. Most enjoyable meeting with good racing from both sides. Over the season I must say that Ashton Boughen has been the most impressive British youngster who is very early in his career. He has produced some excellent moves to pass experienced riders. Oxford have a great prospect on their books.
  7. Good luck to Tom Brennan who has now been drafted in to the meeting. Great experience for him
  8. Many years ago,when Belle Vue were at Hackney Len Silver introduced the teams he finished with If Belle Vue have 26 engine failures we will win
  9. Leicester must be favourites for the aggregate win. They have recently hit good for as opposed to the inconsistencies of early season. Ipswich yet again hit by severe bad luck to say the least.
  10. Impressed with Ashley Boughen…it must be his best away performance in this league. He is definitely a rider with great potential
  11. Best wishes on Saturday. would love to see Workington in the play offs in their first season back in the Championship
  12. Enjoyable racing.Shame Dan and Robert were on 2 and 3 in the semi …the worst gates. still think Bartos has a big enough lead to retake the title.
  13. I remember a quality rider being quoted as saying. “ the one thing you do not do is try and go round Nicki Pedersen “ Pedersen would see a gap and go for it irrespective of any consequences of a possible crash as the gap would be regarded as too risky by most riders.
  14. Plaudits for Tom Brennan for all his efforts and scoring 4 points. He did himself proud. well done
  15. As much as it is obvious that the NSS would bea great venue and racetrack, the FIM would not sanction it due to the low capacity attendance
  16. As much as I admire Scott, I felt the decision was correct. Two riders giving it there all in the final. Scott locked up slightly on the bend and it left Charles with nowhere to go. Great shame that it ended as it did with the crash… I feel sure Scott could have got second… but then the result would likely be 6 - 3 to Redcar anyway. There is bound to be a lot of people on both sides of the fence.
  17. Great to see Tate is signing for 2025.Excellent move
  18. Not unexpected…one of the poorest tracks in the country by far. biggest track in the country coupled with a complete lack of any quality racing. only passing occurred when a rider left an outside gap on the bend which allowed the rider behind to go round and pass.. otherwise ride the boards and no one will pass you. I never went to Berwick for a one off meeting… always went to Edinburgh on Friday, Glasgow on Sunday and fitted Berwick in the middle. When they had the track outside Berwick town , they had a brilliant track .I remember seeing the Aces there
  19. sincerely hope Emil has not sustained a serious injury. he is a wonderful rider to watch and admire. Best wishes to Emil
  20. Many years ago, Hull had two riders in the race after two exclusions. The Hull riders rode around in the rerun. The two Hull riders were both excluded for not making a bona fide attempt to race Result…0 - O score for the race
  21. Excellent debut from William Cairns as expected. Good Colts win… look forward to seeing William’s progress over the next few years
  22. Excelllent meeting re quality of racing from both sides. Great efforts from Birmingham.
  23. Pleased to see Aces win… but the racing was a complete borefest.
