Get a life....

There's little I can add really,saw Eastbourne at Leicester the other Saturday and if that's the last time it will be a very sad occasion,my heart goes out to the management,riders and most of all the passionate supporters of Eastbourne speedway,I loved my time watching the Tigers down there,very welcoming and warm people and I loved the set up.Really hoping that you can come to the tapes next season.jesus.....what is happening to our wonderfull sport...it's so damn sad...

Except for the prob with Barker or it wouldn't have been brought up.

Well,it wasn't exactly a meeting with a team from down the road,Glasgow,s a fair old trek and the decision probably made with a lot of people in mind,plus,if it had rained,but the ref declared the track rideable ,would you seriously want to see both teams just tootling around just for the benefit of getting a result,I know I wouldn't and would rather see a double header or whatever in more appropriate weather condusive to racing.ive seen enough of the wet meetings and the entertainment is zero.

I really hope so,don't want to lose yet another track.its been such a difficult year for all the promotions,Somerset being a prime example,loved my visits there,had some memorable stayovers and the grand Prix weekend was legendary,sadly no more,and now with other tracks under threat,there's not a lot of optimism.it will be a travesty if we lose any more venues.

Also Swindon have had some cracking riders over the years,hope that you are back next season.

Thanks,yes,in their prime they were excellent to watch,I followed Shawn pretty much all over the place,he was amazing to watch over here,stick him on any track first time and he pretty much did the buisiness

You indeed are damned if you do and damned if you don't ,come on speedway fans,how many times have you been to a meeting after a long drive only for it to have been called off? It's a really frustrating feeling,both from a time point of view and the expense as well.speedway is,and always will be,a fair weather sport.i would imagine most people go to be entertained,I know I do,dispite the outcome,that's why I also watch a lot of meetings at scunthorpe as well as my hometown club.when it's wet though the entertainment factor is zero and to try and promote the sport you NEED entertainment,so when meetings are called off,they are firstly from the safety aspect and secondly from an entertainment point of view.i really do have sympathy for a lot of the promoters.

Got to agree....spot on.

Jesus Christ....blah,blah,blah,give the bloke a break....sad...!!!

What happened?

Ok,got it on the Scunthorpe site,thanks,hoping tonight,s is going to be good too....

Just off subject....I can't believe the speedway website hasn't got it ht13 from last Friday v Redcar on there or any number of other races for that matter...shocking.!!

Don't think he carries change..!!

The entertainments been crap from batchelor on a GOOD track...

I've booked with them for Sheffield tickets,no fee but booked with Scunthorpe and was charged 3.50...rediculous!!

I attended this meeting last night and was looking forward to seeing Eddie Kennett ride,if he did have an adverse reaction then that's understandable but not sure about Lawson,he even throttled off on the home straight near the finishing line when comfortably in second and finished third.lewis Kerr I thought rode decently for his points,felt for Kyle Newman if his shoulder isn't right as that's not him at all.thought Brennan was outstanding, definately one for the future and when he came out to look at the gates,even took the time for a selfie with a disabled guy...credit to him.

I hope so, something has to change,can't see him scoring three zero,s anywhere.

One of,no,THE best track bar none, terrific meeting and HT 13 has to be the race of the season,an absolute belter...!!

Nothing for Kyle to be sorry for,even though he was last he bust a gut,as he always does,to get that third place...he leads by example.....always gives 100%

Think steads comment about batchelor after the meeting is probably a good indication that he,s about to be replaced...

It really ought to be,for whatever reason he's struggling and the Tigers can no longer afford to carry him,he actually throttled off in,I think,his third ride,it brought back memories of way back when Shawn moran did that in his last meeting for us at long Eaton and then he said his nerve had gone.im not saying that's the deal with batchelor,just made me wonder but if all the hard work of winning the last two away meetings is going to mean anything then he has to be replaced......now!!

Or do you have shares in eurosport

Dear oh dear,do I detect a hint of sour grapes because Ipswich now outside the playoffs.

Why oh why couldn't Eurosport show one of the three premier League meetings from Monday.The olympic games finished over the weekend,belle Vue/ Peterborough was a very close contest as was tigers win at Ipswich,an ideal opportunity lost.it,s not good enough that we have to wait until the 16 th for the next meeting.does anyone agree?
