And you can be 100% sure Poole would be doing the same were it the other way around. Poole have held a number of practice sessions over the season, as have many of the clubs but considering the importance it’s absolutely normal..! Dan & Joe Thompson for Leicester have apparently never ridden KL either so there’s inexperience on both sides. Here’s to a great contest either way, it’ll be a long winter!

The sun is out, their track was absolutely flooded after 3 days and a months worth of rain. The base of the track is struggling and will provide too much grip, meaning riders can’t turn the bike . Ultimately Stewart as track curator & promoter as well as team manager has his name above the door. If a rider goes through the fence he is liable, and he doesn’t feel it’s safe. Look at the video you can see it, so yes it’s sunny, but that ain’t gonna dry out until tomorrow basically.

For the conspiracy theorists, here’s a look at the track. It’s a swamp, everyone was ready to go but it’s simply not safe as Stewart explains in the video.. https://fb.watch/gjFLaGwnQ0/

It will be the second NDL fixture, as we are at Oxford v Leicester tomorrow

Not that strange, I was watching 4 screens at once and focussing on the front of the race Adam was watching the back #Teamwork

As has been mentioned Damien Bates on the podcast has suggested they were, but logistics were a problem. I know that since Brexit riders basically need a set of gear for Europe, and another set purely for the UK, otherwise the admin and import taxes for bringing non road legal bikes and machinery in and back out can be ridiculous, especially for 1 meeting. Which leaves riding borrowed machinery as the other option, which is never ideal as whilst the bikes might look the same things like seats, handlebars, clutches and footpegs can all be set up different. Dan obviously has gear over here good enough to win it..!

Amazing cheers! You'd think Google podcasts would be pretty good, but for some reason in takes daaaaaaays to pick up new podcasts. But if it's working then the new episodes should appear pretty fast.

Just a heads up in case you're not seen it around already, but Kelvin Tatum has a brand new podcast of his own and is available now! First guest is Dan Bewley, and we talk with Dan for just over an hour about all sorts. If you click this link it will take you to whichever app you choose >> TATUM TALKS PODCAST (Apple, Amazon & Spotify are defo working, Google Podcasts can be hit & miss but that's their end not ours!) Subscribe on whatever app you use and you won't miss anything. There is also a "Short Version" 20 mins or so on YouTube, but for the full goods you need to listen to the podcast..! The idea is to just be able to talk for longer than is allowed for TV, and for Kelv to be able to explain further what happened in various incidents, and to have time to give his opinion and reflect on the big events he's been to. The plan is to do them as and when we can really, probably around GPs and the playoffs but we'll always make sure we have a quality guest as we have with Dan! Hope you enjoy it!

Cheers Phil, he said that it would likely be on a Sunday but TBC obviously. Hopefully it explains things a bit, and a long chat with Lemo this week too!

That was a great chat with Adrian Rymel, seems like a cool guy..! On another Berwick front while I remember, I make a podcast called Humans of Speedway, and a while back had a lovely chat with Dennis McCleary. Of course many Berwick fans will have had similar conversations over the years, but if you’d like a listen you can find it here .. https://pod.fo/e/d6ddf There’s also another episode with David Howe in the series too, and Kelvin Tatum on his time there..

To be fair, the graphic on screen at the time said 40-45 so whilst wrong, the sentiment was correct ;)

Once a meeting is confirmed to be off, British Speedway’s Twitter & Facebook always post about it pretty much immediately. You don’t have to be a member of Twitter to see it either just go to Twitter.com/SpeedwayGB
