Was that the same season you had Rickardsson " testing engines " or was that earlier ?

I was there that night , Jason Lyons and Jesper were on an easy 5-1 and inexplicably rode into each other on the 3rd bend

Rye House - the Rye pub , no where better on a Summer day to sit in a beer garden and have a meal before the speedway . Scunthorpe - the wind , why does it get so windy there ? Workington - marvelling at how our supporters coach driver manages to get the coach over that wee bridge to get into the car park . And sitting with the Mildenhall supporters in the stand , at the fours one year , and having the bar staff bring the beers up to us . Somerset - everything about the place , I just love the Oak Tree Arena Newcastle - bit lacking in atmosphere with supporters all just congregated in the one place . Kings Lynn - Watching in amazement as piles and piles of shale gets dumped on the starting gate just before the start . Ipswich - the home fans , great bunch of people . Berwick - how cold it can be , but the town itself is lovely Edinburgh - as i'm trying to be nice - it has a good bar . Newport - miss that place , made some great friends there Plymouth - cracking wee track Glasgow - of all our various homes - I miss Shawfield . Canterbury - got drunk in a pub called the Monument after watching us getting pumped Mildenhall - cracking wee place with a nice bar Redcar - great fans and I loved the 3rd and 4th bend banking Leicester - seeing our biggest ever away win there 62-28 in 2011 Coventry - the bridge over the pits Belle Vue - Kirky Lane - Thinking this was a plush place when I paid to get in - then I went outside . Sheffield - Love the New Barrack Tavern across the road on PLRC day Swindon - bit of a dump and the lavvys on the back straight . Nearly got left there as I spent too long in the bar after the meeting at the 2007 PLRC . Poole - dodgy track , but good big bar . Paisley - I could walk to there and back Peterborough - another of my favs - beer's a bit expensive though . Stoke - trip back in time , nice big bar , but the beer's not very good

It's all opinions as you say . It's going to be a tough battle right to the wire for the play off places , if the rumours are to be believed about Peterborough putting together a galactico side , only really Scunthorpe and Berwick are out of the play off picture .

Kenneth Hansen coming across as a very angry and bitter man in this morning's Scottish newspaper . It's reported he went on a social media rant attacking the Edinburgh track it wins awards too . He blasted " What a f.....g joke ! How can anyone prepare a track like that for speedway ? " " Smashed bike thanks to another rider with no control over his bike . And now sacked by pboro (sic) , could have saved me the journey to Edinburgh then " . He also blasted Ricky Wells who claimed " nothing wrong with the track " .

You're ticking along very nicely under the radar , definite serious play off candidates .

I agree , everything the Facenna's have done has improved the speedway experience in Glasgow immensely , why that hasn't included covers for the track is baffling . Berwick do things very well , we have been fortunate to be where we are , without the financial clout behind us it's doubtful we'd still be running . We don't want to develop a smugness associated with elsewhere , so we wont go down the road of claiming we're in front of anybody .

If it wasn't bad enough suffering a rain off at Glasgow , I had to watch this bilge as well . What a crappy track to hold a GP on .

Thought we might have survived the 5 o clock downpour , but as per usual the rain gods went " haha get it right up you speedway fans " and then it stopped soon as the meeting was called off . Dragging myself into Glasgow on a Saturday night is hard enough without the raingod taking the piss So it was back home to watch the GP on a dodgy track .

Excellent , this could be a very entertaining meeting , another downpour before the start will have the track perfect .

First shower through and the track said " thank you very much "

Been dry and warm all day so far , sky looks a bit threatening , but even if we did get a downpour there's enough heat in the air to dry the track out pretty quickly .

Is that a good or a bad thing ? lol

He was signed on his previous East of England Showground form , which was good . Everyone knew his away form is pants , but now he isn't even doing it at home , so he cant be too surprised .

Whatever folk think of the changes is irrelevant , I love it and makes it look a much more attractive fixture now . Bring it on .

How do we know it wasn't submitted ?

So after our magnificent effort at Sheffield last night and the Panthers probably getting softened up at the West Lothian midden tonight , I can only see one outcome in this meeting . Panthers were awful here last season , only Ostergaard ( once the track slickened off a bit ) and Tom Perry put up any fight , and Katy's distant relative rides for us now . Jack Holder did ok when up with Plymouth , but Hansen and Pearl and Dean were dreadful with Workington and Somerset respectively . Paul Starke has had a couple of decent meetings at Ashfield , and i'm not sure if Simon Lambert will be fit enough to ride . Our three superstars should carry on their merry points scoring way and our four youngsters should contribute enough to nudge us to around the mid fifties in our continuing pursuit of evil at the top of the league . Hope the forecast thunderstorms disappear in time for me to enjoy a few cold Budweisers in the Charlie Monk stand while texting to the updates site .

Why is it a bad attitude ? If I supported Peterborough or ( god forbid ) Edinburgh , i'd want my riders riding for my team . The performances of the Copenhagen Carpetmunchers or the Munich Munchkins wouldn't be of too much interest to me .

He's been our best rider for the past season and a half , we can forgive him one below par performance . Took a while for any of our top 3 to get a place in the other league , i'm sure Aaron and Richie will get fixed up at some point .

Close , but no cigar , but coming away from Owlerton with a point is always a good effort .

They're quite welcome to ride in their leagues , just don't sign for a British club then

No they should be at Edinburgh

Got to love British speedway , everyone riding everywhere else except where they should be lol

Aye when I watched it live I thought " dirty Danish so and so " , but when you watch it again there wasn't really much in it , Richard did over react a bit , but it livened up a dull meeting , so not all bad . Might have been a better meeting if Andersen had shown more of that earlier .

Ok we're convinced , we'll take that .
