False dawn

I guess it's the right time of year for old chestnuts. And that has to be the oldest.

"pay off" sounds bad. I assume this was a typo for "play off" 😱

I am downsizing and won't have the space for my 2-3000 speedway programmes. The collection is primarily from the 70's, 80's and 90's. Nearly all Coventry home and away, a lot with local press reports. There are other world championship meetings etc. and a small number of older Coventry programmes. I don't want anything for this cherished collection. I just want it to go to a good home rather than a skip. If the possible owner wanted to make a donation to NSSC (in support of youth speedway riders) that would be a bonus.

Boring so far

Any news on Mikkel Michelsen?

Should that be "we"?

Look I'm a nerd, not a masochist

You're right, of course. Still a good record.

I've just read on the FIM website that Bartosz Zmarzlik had made the GP semis 52 times straight. A run that was ended at Cardiff. Well I thought it was pretty astounding.

You heard it here first.

Boy. No one can say this is an easy route to the GP series.

They could show it delayed by a couple of hours

£20 to see Oasis. Sweet.

I'm sorry, but a professional commentator has a duty to study the prevailing rules. This is useful for the casual viewing and getting it wrong just makes you look foolish to the "expert" viewer. I had to laugh when KT said Mark Lemon may consider sending Jake Mulford off 15m after his two minute infringement in heat 2.

or was it Jason Cook? 🙃
