why bother to stage speedway at lakeside, the club is fast becoming a joke. Hardly any home meetings are run anyway, and now this.

my post was tongue in cheek, honest!

Buster should have pulled the stars out of the league and kept the young stars going. At least the NL boys have a go when track conditions are far from ideal.

Cookie does his best to stay awake during home meetings, sitting there dozing off in the tractor.

My first meeting at plough lane was in 1968.The crowds were probably more than the 5,000 mark when Ronnie Moore returned. Wembley were getting five figure crowds in 1970/71 & West ham's gates in 1971 were a mere 3,000, despite having a poor team.

The meeting I went to at eastville against Wimbledon was Definetely filmed. Bob Coles ended up in the crowd on the first bend after a horrendous pile up. I have seen footage of this on YouTube. I'd love to see the whole match.

should have made it compulsory for all televised meetings years ago.

there is still the 2nd home league fixture against swindon to arrange. Why not run it on a Saturday night for a change.

I think the world cup final in leszno was a defining moment for cook. Crawling around the white line like magic mason was never gonna cut it out there. Sticking around in the 2nd tier hasn't done him any favours either.

I'm a lifelong Wimbledon fan, but I won't be going on monday. Made up teams don't do it for me. At least Boxall has ridden at plough lane, So I guess that's a slight connection.

It's dry and sunny here in Surrey Eddie!

If buster was running the show shads, it would have been called off early!

The promoters and the riders have killed it.

Buster used to be the man who could rescue a meeting after wet weather conditions. Now he reminds me of Len silver, who used to call meetings off at rye if there was a dark cloud in the sky. Maybe it's an age thing.

So predictable, buster couldn't risk another farce tonight.

It was poole v Lakeside at wimborne road.

It was a good meeting last night, well run as well.

Bristol eastville. Nice stadium, huge crowds, awful track. Enough said!

Too right, sun delays most weeks at lynn. Nothing for the world cup.

It was mentioned at lakeside last Friday. I was also at the memorial meeting on that sunny Sunday all those years ago. I was just a wee lad at the time, but I will never forget.

I heard the food and merchandise outlets were being charged EL rent for NL crowds. If this is true, it's no suprise that some of them don't bother opening.

The task is too big for him, and the rest of the promoting clan. It really needs someone totally neutral to come in and sort the whole mess out.

I know it's early days, but thunderstorms are forecast for Wednesday. Good luck to all you brave and patient souls thinking of attending.

All of the lakeside regulars I know, have stopped going because of the drop to the NL. The staggered fixture list is no different to last year's EL campaign. I have always watched speedway at all levels, so it makes no difference to me.

The rye track is how most of the current riders like It, slick and smooth. I would like to see a bit more dirt put down, but I'm not holding my breath.
