don't forget daddy shads as well!

i'm glad about that. It would have meant a clash with kent v birmingham for me.

And what a couple of cracking meetings they will be!

Last night rye and eastbourne attempted to run against an atrocious weather forecast. Both ended up with late call offs with people inside the stadium. Sometimes an early call off benefits everyone. I can't comment on todays track conditions at the showground, but with a dry day expected it's dissapointing that the meeting is off.

Standard fare for a lot of EL matches. It was a poor meeting though, watched by a surprisingly decent sized crowd.

Charlie monk, surely the hardest rider ever to get to sign an autograph. When I was a wee lad I cornered him in the Wimbledon pits, only for him to write the word MONK In big capital letters in my book!

After the IOW thursday and lakeside last night, I need a breather shads.

I dodged a bullet with this one tonight. The forecast was too poor to risk it.

Heavy rain forecast from 4pm onwards.

GI just need to find the money now!

Charged his way to the front nige.

No suprise there then shads!

Kent has good facilities and a positive feel about the place. Rye is in a state, and the ultra slick track has been a real downer for me this season. 30 heats on concrete, no thanks.

Early evening shads, the second match should have started by then!

I can't face another 5 hour marathon at rye. It looks like kent v Eastbourne for me tomorrow.

Stock cars and bangers ran at mildenhall last night. I Hope the track will be ok today.

Woods was pretty decent on the island a couple of weeks ago. He was on the pace and not rewarded with points for his efforts.

Barry bishop seems to be a really nice bloke, very approachable and always finds time for a chat. The last promotor I saw greet the fans as they arrived at the stadium was johnnie hoskins at Canterbury!

I went there twice in the 1980's. It was a beast of a track, mastered by by the likes of jackson, finch and the Carr brothers.

Sorting out the 'stadium' and coming to the tapes in 2017 would be a bonus after yet another underwhelming season at the launch pad.

Weather permitting!!!

Tonight was just a typical swindon meeting for me. Two or three decent races, all the rest from the gate.

saturday night EL speedway almost put eastbourne out of business.

Despite a dodgy forecast I went to rye house and lakeside yesterday. Despite the showery conditions both meetings were run, but the crowds were not great at either venue.

he probably does as he's told!
