Ref bottled it

He isn't.

Says in the speedway Star that Erik returned to Germany for tests "on a debilitating condition which He described as brain fog and dizziness" so is going to have blood tests, MRI scan and checks on His heart. Hope its nothing too serious and He gets well soon.

At least I have an insert now.

£3 for a two week old programme with no insert. RIP OFF.

Weather forecast has improved slightly so might be OK.

And do people really think that Louis has waited virtually all the close season and announced it now without having all the required visa/permit/approvals in place?

Speedway on the BBC website, whatever next!

Would Ben Barker's average fit for the last place?

Good bit of business by Buster to sell a team (if He has) that might not have anywhere to race next year.

It's the departure area not arrivals.

Did all tracks want to stage a round?

Work permit issues?

Is it stadium or rider availability that is the issue?

I expected Lambert to be left at the start as He came straight round to the tapes with no digging/gardening or looking for the best rut.

So why not have a junior/development meeting before the main event?

Agree that Ellis was last in the final and minor whinge but the scorecard was poor with nowhere to record the actual winners.

Thought He was going to take Doyle out but done very well to save it.

So is it 25% of a teams fixtures or 25% of overall fixtures?

Saving Hume for the harder races

Going by Ipswich's meeting against Sheffield, He has to keep up with him first.

Don't forget Barker. Hume scored way more than Rowe. Would have been closer with Starke as King and Barker would only have had three rides.

No doubt it was a much better team performance but we won't ride a team whose GP rider number 1 scores 3 points very often.

Must be painful flying with ear trouble.

And no one has mentioned the inspired decision to put Batchelor at 5 who did very well not to wipe out Doyle in heat 11 when on a max. Several riders were picking up extra unwanted drive on bend 2.
