  1. Again the speedway is not responsible for the dog track, any more than Peterborough Speedway is responsible for what goes on there
  2. Yes, i am sure loads will turn up tomorrow night thinking there is racing and then find out there isnt
  3. Try reading this post from someone with no axe to grind The way I understand this is that the work on the greyhound track finished last night and the speedway had access from today and they found several safety fence posts damaged and needing work / replacing. This gives them less than 48 hours before tomorrows match to find a contractor to possibly break out the posts, concrete in new ones, allow the concrete to cure / harden and then re-hang the safety fence and possible have to have a track inspection of the works carried out before they can race. I am no track expert but I have worked in construction and to get a contractor, get all that work done and signed off in under 48 hours is a tall order which I think the management realise hence the early call off. Give the management team a break I'm sure they want to lose a race day even less than we do, especially for rectification a problem that is no fault of there's. Yes all the fault of Sheffield Speedway, they should have re-laid the dog track faster than they did, without damaging the fence posts, or perhaps it wasn't the speedway that were relaying the dog track, perhaps you never thought of that Maybe they shouldn't have the British Final at Belle Vue anyway because it rains a lot in Manchester, as Monday night proves
  4. Two and a half weeks away and still nothing, this really is a complete shambles
  5. Don't the green sheets still include matches from last season Check bachelors scores from last season it would be difficult for him to get worse
  6. And where in the rules is this There are no guarantees in speedway and you are assuming that Doyle would have had two wins, has he won every Race has been in this season? You lost by eight points just accept it
  7. Great news will have to come up and have a look next season
  8. There is i big difference between the way Mountain and Nielson are riding though, Mountain has been on the pace in most of his rides this season and has deserved a lot more points than he has scored, Nielson, apart from Heat 2 last night wasn't really on the pace and looked down on power, and has all season. Nielson deserved his chance after last season but it hasn't worked out, we will have to see if Allen does
  9. No would have gone with Tobi, can only think that the long discussion they had before heat 15 was to sort out if Adam and Jacks heads were in the right place after heat 13 just shows why i am not the team manager Feel sorry for Nielson, it just hasn't worked for him this season, but he deserved the chance after last season
  10. He usually goes very well at Sheffield, so that is not the case at all
  11. No i was told he is on £4000 per meeting, which is why i said he was on £800 per point on Thursday
  12. i was told they have a sponser who is paying half, as i said just told it by a BV fan, don't know if its true, but they were desperate
  13. Scored more with Allen in the team And if the BV supporter i was talking to last night is correct Zagar was about £800 a point last night, not including bonus points.
  14. The problem was that Kemp wasn't in control of the bike, it was taking him all over the track, that contributed to his chain coming off, so you could say that was self inflicted
  15. You should have seen him at Sheffield last season
  16. Definitely his left leg, would have been worse had he not reacted so quickly and laid his bike down
  17. He has had one bad match in 4, it happens and unlike Batchelor he wasn't signed as a number 1
  18. Allen is on a 28 day contract, so Zager is not replacing him, Belle Vue have a gap in their 1 to 7 Its a good way to get around things, unless a rider on a 28 day deal cannot be signed again after the 28 days
  19. Why? Just accept you have been beaten twice by a better team and forget about the team you could have had until you get it then we can see who will win
  20. Why would anyone use a laugh emoji at this comment? Well said
  21. Should have seen Sheffield there, we had some good meetings, used to love going to Halifax
