Bob, you should have gone over to the Isle Of Wight for either the handicap meeting last week or the last leg of the 3TT this week. Two superb meetings. Sounds like I got the half decent meeting at Poole last week - tonight sounds poor.

I could, but then there would be more than five riders in the list

Hans Nielsen, Marvyn Cox, Jens Rasmussen, Bruce Penhall and Chris Mills.

Please refresh your browser - it's on the website. Please advise if you still can't see it - thanks.

Can people pay on the turnstile at Poole. I need to add a new item to the Scunny website, advising them to buy tickets for Plymouth by online in advance, but have Poole gone back to normal?

If Carlsberg did speedway meetings then last night would have been it! The racing was simply brilliant, the result wasn't decided until the final bend, and fans from both sides contributed to a great atmosphere.

I've always loved the Speedway Star. I adored the stats page, and spent more time reading with that magazine than anything else while I was growing up during the 1980s. Of course, the editor of the Star during that period was Phil Rising. He made such a huge contribution to speedway, while at times, it could be argued that magazine is better than speedway has deserved. RIP Phil.

Attachment not available, I'm afraid.

Cracking meeting in front of a bumper crowd.

I see. You make a daft comment and then pretend it was a wind up all along

This:

See you there mate. Is Shovvy coming up?

I think that hits the nail on the head. Certain riders prefer a track where 90% of winning a race is popping first out of the gate and then defending their position. Scunny isn't like that. It's a track prepared principally for the paying customers so that they can enjoy good racing. And yesterday those fans saw some superb racing.

Councils are weird. I guess they haven't worked out once people are in place, there's zero risk of spreading the virus when socially distanced in an outdoor setting. Of the five tracks I've attended this season, three required a mask to be worn if you were moving about then you could take it off once settled and the other two only required a mask if you went inside to order food, etc. I probably won't go to Ipswich or King's Lynn until the restrictions are removed, because I start to feel a bit dizzy if I have a mask on for too long. I realise there's nothing the promotions could do and it's just the ignorance of the councils involved.

PLEASE note there are still roadworks on Normanby Road, right outside the Eddie Wright Raceway, so please leave extra travelling time for Scorpions v Eastbourne tonight (7.30pm). Thank you! Thomas Jorgensen is all set to ride for Attis Insurance Scunthorpe Scorpions against Eagles, despite a heavy crash at Ipswich last night, which left him as badly winded.

PLEASE note there are roadworks on Normanby Road, right outside the Eddie Wright Raceway, so please leave extra travelling time for Attis Insurance Scunthorpe Scorpions v Leicester Lions tomorrow (Friday, 7.30pm). Thank you!

Full credit has to go to both promotions. Plymouth were fully co-operative in the rapid re-staging.

Forecast for tomorrow looking good.

3pm

The forecast for Sunday looks line - just some light rain towards the end of the day. It's starting at 3pm on Sunday, so it'll all be finished by then.

Yeah, I got the same message, but then couldn't order a ticket. I think the messages have perhaps been sent out in error.

No 6 wasn't a reserve position until 1969. There was only one reserve - at No 7.

If you received an order reference, that sounds like it went through. Send an email to gail.godfrey@btconnect.com

I did one yesterday as a test - it came through within a minute. Check out your spam and trash folders - it might be in one of those.
