Is the prog the same price at Eastie, I heard a whisper it might be going up. I missed last night because I was at rye v wolves.

One man and his dog at lakeside on Friday, heaving at rye last night. The impact of these two clubs changing leagues has been a killer for the hammers.

To stand a chance of getting anything at rye you need to be making the starts. Wolves were found lacking in this department tonight. Still an away point is better than nothing.

Magic was a strange choice for the brummies, he always seems to miss a few meetings.

Going up against rye and Eastbourne on most Saturdays wouldn't do the club any good. I'm a regular at all three venues. If I had a choice I'd go for alternate Sunday afternoons.

I went to the reverse fixture at Brum a few weeks ago. It was a decent meeting, but the crowd wasn't great.

Buxton was never gonna be a crowd puller with the glory boys racing wolves tomorrow. My ever shrinking band of arena regulars was down to two tonight, me included!

I was at the Abbey last night, and noticed the new houses are now rising behind the massive pile of earth in the car park. The location for the 'new stadium' does seem to be getting squeezed from all angles.

Speedway is run just for the benefit of the riders, the fans don't matter anymore. That's why they are leaving the sport in their droves. There isn't a single promoter capable of reversing this.

I will still be going regardless, there are so few meetings at lakeside, beggars can't be choosers!

I was at Kent on monday so I never saw the meeting transmitted live. After watching it last night, I think it was standard fare for most tracks in this country. A couple of decent races, the rest from the gate. Most of the 39 meetings I have attended this season have been very similar!

Tarmac has more grip than the rye house track this season!

I remember watching tim ride for the Wembley lions in 1970.

Too many teams, not enough riders. I can't see things improving any time soon.

It's not just a NL thing. Most of the tracks I visit are devoid of much shale. Although not one of my favourite venues, Eastbourne has been very well prepared this season, and the racing has improved as a result.

I reckon black and yellow are your favourite colours now shads!

So you'd take one meeting a month in a tip of a 'stadium' that is not fit for purpose. Sometimes the gaps between home meetings are so Big, I forget the place even exists. God help us if we get a couple of rain offs.

Ditto, we must have been on the same Wimbledon coach trip. Why didn't you say hello!

he's far better off riding for every team in the league as a guest!

I remember visiting somerton park early in 1975, and watching neil fly around there easily beating riders of a greater ability. This is not a dig, merely an observation on how much faster the new engines were.

When you have the sports head honcho calling meetings off at the drop of a hat, you have no chance.

At Eastbourne on Saturday there was a very good crowd, despite going up against the world cup on TV. At mildenhall today the crowd was again decent. You can see why some clubs have jumped ship to the calmer waters of the NL.

Decent meeting today despite a well underwatered track. The choice of 2 & 4 cost eastie in heat 15, after they almost got out of jail.

At rye house mike, the blue groove is evident after the warm up lap!

A very good meeting last night watched by a big crowd. There was some decent racing on a well prepared track, as a neutral it ticked all the boxes!
