How did Rob go from being able to afford to build a whole new stadium (multi million pound investment) to not being able to continue... Has he really lost that much money over the year? Genuine question, not trying to be awkward

In the main stand near bend 4 Honestly, the stadium itself and the atmosphere of the crowd were brilliant, but the track looked terrible...

Can I still park in the shopping centre car park? Thanks

Thanks for letting us know Sounds promising and all under control... More than I can say about my club...

Shame as I was really looking forward to my trip down, decided to get this meeting in on the way down to Plymouth to watch the Diamonds on Tuesday, make a weekend of it... I expected a lot more from the supposed biggest club in the country, but I guess every club has their bad days... I've heard a lot about the track at Poole but was astonished about how bad it looked when I first came in... Looks like something desperately needs done... Would have been interesting to hear what Matt Ford was saying about the future of the club but the loud mouthed drunk woman in front of me clearly doesn't like him and shouted over everything he said... Hope the club survives

I'm guessing the racing at Poole isn't that bad every week, judging by the size of the crowd? And I don't mean the problems with the 3d and 4th bend which were obviously going to arise looking at the state of it before the meeting even started... Wasn't the most entertaining meeting ever...

I'm likely to be in Leicester on 4th September, there's a reserved spot for a fixture, is there any chance of a fixture, or not???

Aye, I thought it would just be that, the way I read it on the email though, it made it sound like I needed to print it out. Is there a parking charge there? And is it still that field just outside the turnstiles? Not been for a very long time cheers

I didn't get a text, just an email which I can easily pull up, it has the QR code, the reference number and the meeting date on it, as long as that's sufficient. Thanks

Hello. I'm planning on visiting Berwick this Saturday for the meeting Vs Glasgow. The email I have received about the etickets seem to suggest I need to print them off to show at the gate? Which I cannot do right now as I am away on holiday in the middle of nowhere Scotland. Is this the case? And have I just wasted £18 on tickets I won't be able to print out? OR can I just quote my reference number on the ticket and get in that way? OR use a QR code like a normal 21st century system speedway seems to have forgotten about? Thanks, Jack

Lodz look like definite winners to me

Got a bunch of Newcastle programmes if you're interested? Couple Scunthorpe, Berwick and Redcar ones lying about somewhere too... Just have to find them

Can't see a thread for this meeting so I will talk about it here... Tonight's meeting, although it started a bit disastrously, was great and it was a privilege to be able to visit Plymouth speedway where the racing (eventually) was brilliant... If that is what National League speedway is like then I think I will be making a few more trips to some National League meetings in the near future... I went to a Swindon meeting yesterday and I have to say, some of the fans around me were horrible to the riders and just in general... But at Plymouth everyone was chatty and seemed to enjoy themselves, considering the circumstances... I talked to a couple of Kent fans on the back straight who seemed pretty regular to Plymouth... So thanks to them for the help Even if yous did try to kill me with your flag pole at the beginning

Hi, I am thinking about going to a Somerset meeting, the one against Glasgow at the end of July. Can someone give me any advice on which are the best (cheapest) hotels to stop in, maybe within walking distance? Where to park my car once I'm at the stadium, how much parking/tickets/programs are... Any advice for a first time visitor would be appreciated, thanks very much. Looking forward to seeing what Somerset has to offer.

Was anyone there at the Fours to see Lasse, heard he had a fall? Did this effect him or what?

Up to the rider at the end of the day, but thanks for clearing that up... Seems like a stupid rule, injury replacements should be allowed...

Thanks for the reply... I've got a room at the Premier Inn now Looking forward to it, if it's off I'd have plenty to do in Plymouth, always a city I've wanted to visit... For some reason, seems like the track is easy to find and the racing will be great... Hopefully it's not off

Thanks everyone for the bits of advice... I've looked and all hotels within walking distance have no rooms available!! But since that shopping centre is within walking distance, might park my car there nice and early as the Premier Inn at Great Barr has rooms available... Too far to walk, thanks again and looking forward for my first speedway meeting at Birmingham (That I can remember) Question... If I park my car at the shopping centre at 6, I'd be alright leaving it there until after the meeting

Wallinger dropped by mildenhall (a Sunday track) wonder if that's so he can ride for diamonds

Just quoting this as they've just been made visible
