False dawn

It seems that people are saying that because the rules are the way they are, it is justifiable to have a team turn out with three guests. And I have to justify my objection to this by answering the comment that to prevent Wolverhampton having three guests would somehow short change the Somerset fans. Well forgive me, but I find this a slightly circular argument. We're only here because the rules permit it. It's the rules I object to, not Wolverhampton taking advantage off them. You have to examine the rules in light of what they lead to. Wolverhampton winning tonight only focused the attention on a set of rules that makes no sense. The team they fielded made no sense, win or lose. I look forward to reading the team statistics on the Wolverhampton website! A telling phrase. Period (again)

There ain't many that I would take that from. But you are one. Wolverhampton 3 Somerset 0 Okay? (but I ain't happy)

Fixtures, rules, I don't care. Wolverhampton did not beat Somerset tonight. You cut it anyway you like. Tell me I'm wrong,

i do. You can have double ups all you like. But if the fixtures play against you, that's your hard luck. Don't tell me my team is "my team" when it contains three guests. It ain't acceptable. Period.

No, they were sold short.

There should be a rule that for whatever reason a team cannot have more than two guests. To have half (well nearly) your side represented by other people's riders ain't good for your own pride. For the home side, well what do they think? Beaten by a group of riders that no way represent the team on the programme. Did Wolverhampton beat Somerset tonight? You tell me.

Apologies for editing your post but I agree with you 100% Your post is from the heart and reflects what all true fans are about. Thank you DiamondGlory

Do you know, I didn't know that. Tell me in advance next time!

Speaking as someone from a defunct club ( ), our start marshal had a really modern piece of kit called a "Mobile phone". He got immediate instruction from the refs box should the need arise.

I've booked a place in the Alzheimer's home. Ok?

My apologies. Live updates now says "No Lawson". Sure it said he broke the tapes earlier. Must be getting old.

Live updates have just reported Robert Lawson has broken the tapes!

Maybe talk to a few folks that have been doing this for years. It ain't rocket science.

It's early days. The competitors with staying power are those that win through in the end. You know, I might book that trip to Oz and watch the decider!

There is still a good grasstrack opportunity for youngsters to learn their trade. Low cost racing. And most grasstracks I raced on were far from level. Youngsters who can race that, don't complain at the odd bump or rut when they get on the speedways.

The powers that be cannot avoid the responsibility for this one, be it language or any other excuse. They have built a World Championship circus with all the TV and publicity spotlight that goes with it. And with that comes the weight of providing the very best racing facilities. If it rained and there was a doubt about safety that's one thing. To get the news that the organisers had over watered the track and we end up with one of the worse GP meetings for a long time is quite another. Don't make excuses, understand what happened and put in place procedures to avoid it in the future.

Surely we are all unhappy and disappointed when our stand out No.1 rider is at odds with the ruling body to the extent he chooses not to ride for Team GB. Time for reconciliation? Certainly the sport in this country needs all the help it can get. Be it on the World stage or helping to develop young riders for the future. Maybe Tai isn't the easiest guy to work with but is that a reason to walk away (by either party). As a fan and English, I follow Tai's riding with interest. As to the rest, I don't know the full facts and therefore don't pass judgement

I know I'm biased, but Danny's "quiet" start to the season is a bit of a mystery. I thought he had started to make the transition to being a top class rider last year, who can forget his performance at Cardiff? He'll come good. The sooner the better.

Is it true that the "KRSKO HIGHLIGHTS" on the speedwaygp website shows only the startline girls?

Nerd Alert! Gate Wins Points 1 7 34 2 8 40 3 8 46 4 0 18 I find that level of disadvantage for one gate to be unacceptable regardless of the processional racing beyond the first corner

Gate 4 - 13 points from 16 races (no wins need I say). A graveyard P.S. I don't think the riders need a spreadsheet to know not to pick that one!

Err, who is the author of these interesting sounding books?

Nerd alert!!! An unusual meeting statistically speaking. Edinburgh provided the minority of the race winnings. Edinburgh posted the majority of last places. Edinburgh had fewer race advantages. But Endinburgh won the meeting. Hmmm

This was a close one on paper but then what do I know? Not a lot, from the scoreline. And please tell, who was given the rider of the night award? To be paid for 17 from 6 from reserve and to be overlooked is astounding.

Some solid scoring from Ludvig, a late start by Ashley Morris and the odd flash by Steve Worrall. But 11 heat winners and 10 heat advantages by Redcar tells it's own story.
